Unless you’ve spent your life living under a rock, you know the expression “Mi casa es tu casa.” It’s a phrase meant to welcome somebody into your home, and that’s just the feeling you get as you walk into Mi Casa in downtown Cabo San Lucas. The colorfully appointed restaurant invites guests to dine, explore, and linger. The gift shop is charming. The walls—inside and out—feature art and other traditional decor, and clowns, musicians, and fortunetelling birds meander. Not interested? Just wave them off and turn your focus to the menu, which includes chicken in mole, a mountainous shrimp cocktail, and perfectly cooked carnitas. Whatever you get, you will want to pair it with fresh, handmade tortillas and a jalapeño margarita. Avenida Cabo San Lucas S/N (in front of Plaza Amelia Wilkes), Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-1933, www.micasarestaurant.com.mx.
