The Asian fusion food movement is like a gift that keeps on giving—whether you’re thinking of Korean tacos on the streets of Los Angeles or Francisco Zuniga’s menu of Mexican, Asian, and fusion dishes at Los Barriles in Cabo San Lucas. The experienced restaurateur has successfully fused the flavors of Baja and Asian to create dishes that pop. We’re particulary fond of the Thai seafood soup; it’s a hot pot with shrimp, scallops, and calamari that is prepared in coconut milk and a ginger lemongrass broth. The Korean barbecue for two is an absolute feast: It features shrimp, scallops, filet mignon, lobster, and chicken and is served with an assortment of sauces, grilled veggies, and salads for only $46 U.S. Live music is performed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Miguel Hidalgo, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-1619. Daily 7 a.m.–11 p.m. All major credit cards and vouchers accepted. $–$$$ A.A.
