There’s something about this Cabo San Lucas Marina restaurant that makes it feel like a very good old friend. The traditionalMexican menu and decor are comforting and familiar, and the service is always spot-on. Recent additions to the menu have enhanced the experience without taking away what we love best about Los Deseos: its commitment to honoring age-old recipes and traditions. Come for a late lunch on the marina, and you can sip a jalapeño margarita as you wrap warm, handmade tortillas around decadent tequila-style melted cheese. Follow that must-have appetizer with a nopales salad and La Malinche: chicken breast stuffed with squash blossoms and cuitlacoche, a Mexican delicacy with a smoky sweet flavor that’s a cross between corn and mushroom. Marina Golden Zone, Cabo San Lucas Marina, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 145-6011, www.goldenzonecabo.com. Daily 7 a.m.–11 p.m. All major credit cards and vouchers accepted. $–$$$ A.A.
