Azul

When the Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort unveiled its made-over space, it included Azul—a subzero tequila, mezcal, and Mexican-style tapas lobby bar featuring a mind-boggling collection of tequila. Cocktail connoisseurs will appreciate the handcrafted cocktail menu, with standout concoctions like the Rosemary Paloma and Tepache Collins. The 160-seat venue also features breathtaking ocean views and a tapas menu that wows: Think tempura tacos, grasshoppers (here known as “chapulines”), and slow-roasted pork sopes. The signature dish at Azul is its guacamole with grasshoppers and mezcal. To prepare it, the grasshoppers are carefully washed and toasted on a comal (a traditional clay cooking tool), then chefs season them with lime juice and spices. The crunchy grasshoppers are delicious and the perfect thing to dip into Azul’s fresh guacamole. And the presentation is Instagram worthy, as are all of the tapas you will see served at the Hilton’s fantastic lobby spot.
