Los Deseos

Famed Mexican chef Patti Jinich once wrote, “A cuisine as rich and diverse as México’s needs for us to make an effort to preserve what has been passed on.” That same sentiment is at the heart of Los Deseos, a Cabo San Lucas Marina restaurant—part of the famed Golden Zone—that celebrates dishes from across México and its generations. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Los Deseos serves everything from pan dulce to mesquite-style marrow and old-fashioned mole. The restaurant boasts a tremendous number of lunch and dinner entrées, and it can be tough to narrow the field. Here we present a suggested dinner, from appetizer to dessert: Start with the three-cheese queso fundido. Three cheeses and tequila are flamed in a molcajete and served with fresh tortillas. Follow with a pumpkin flower soup, especially if you’re visiting Los Deseos at night with a cool breeze over the marina. The chile en nogada is a beloved tradition; essentially, it’s a poblano pepper stuffed with minced pork, beef, and dried fruits topped with a nut and pomegranate sauce. For dessert, pair a traditional cinnamony café de la olla with a coconut flan; it’s a specialty of the house. Cabo San Lucas Marina, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 145-6011, www.goldenzonecabo.com. Daily 7 a.m.–11 p.m. Major credit cards accepted. $$–$$$$ A.A.
