When Hurricane Odile tore its way through the Baja Peninsula in September 2014, many hotels, restaurants, and shops were forced to shutter—some permanently. And, so, we were beyondthrilled when Peacock’s reopened in late November. Peacock’s, part of the successful Mi Casa family of restaurants, is an essential part of the Los Cabos dining scene, what with its beautiful layout and incredible menu. The stunning restaurant in the heart of Cabo San Lucas’s Médano Beach District offers several different settings for guests to enjoy the succinct menu, but we’re partial to the courtyard and palapa-covered fire pit. The Peacock’s menu is built on freshness; so much so that the restaurant sprouts its own greens on-site. Several produce items are grown at Peacock’s own farm in nearby Pescadero, and almost all of its seafood is caught by local fishermen. Begin with a yellowfin tuna tataki followed by organic suckling pig (slow-cooked overnight with just a hint of tarragon and thyme). And, for dessert, don’t pass up the chocolate tamale. Paseo del Pescador, near the entrance to ME Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-1858, www.peacocksrestaurant.com. Nightly 5 p.m.–11:30 p.m. AmEx, MasterCard, and Visa accepted. $$–$$$$ A.A.
