Known for its consistent flavorful food and affable atmosphere, Baja Cantina Marina is not resting on its laurels. Patrons returning to this Cheers like gathering place on the Cabo San Lucas waterfront will be pleased to see the addition of a sushi bar. Housed in the former bar area, it’s complete with all the accoutrements associated with that fabulous Asian fare. The addition is in response to the popularity of sushi on the menu.
Try the Curricanes: Thinly sliced fish wrapped around cucumber, crab, avocado, and orange and sesame sauce is one of the must-have dishes. Perhaps you prefer an Asian-style bowl of stir-fried chicken with noodles. Ever-popular margaritas include the Cadillac (made with Grand Marnier), the Pink (made with pomegranates), and one made with cactus. Seafood favorites include coconut shrimp, ceviche, tuna tartar, and fish of the day. The Fisherman’s Platter includes shrimp in garlic butter, grilled octopus cooked to perfection, and the fish of the day served with saffron rice and veggies. Soups include Boston-style clam chowder, while pastas, pizzas, and Mexican dishes are high on the list of must-try items. Also popular are veggie dishes such as mushroom and spinach enchiladas and veggie quesadillas.
