Chef Emmanuel Prieto’s menu at Peacock’s is chockfull of appetizing selections as well as new additions. Enjoy them all at this iconic restau- rant located just 300 or so feet from Médano Beach. The México City- born chef’s friendly spirit imbues the entire restaurant. He and his bilingual staff have created a warm, happy ambience perfectly suited for an inti- mate lunch or romantic dinner. The dinner plates are so elegantly pre- pared that they would fit in on the walls of a gallery, and the flavor is just as impressive. The surf and turf is a popular selection at most Cabo San Lucas restaurants, but here you would be remiss if you didn’t try the lobster soup ($10 U.S.). It’s a fabulous menu starter that arrives with warm, tasty bread. The baked New York steak ($27 U.S.) is served with delicious potatoes that are sautéed with mush- rooms and sun-dried tomato. The lamb (spiced with homemade Thai curry) and oven-roasted duck with risotto are other succulent meals to consider. Pair either with red wines that arrive from the Valle de Guadalupe vineyards in the northern Baja Peninsula. The service at Peacock’s is genuinely great, another wonderful gem amid Los Cabos’ many excellent restaurants. Paseo de Pescador, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-1858, www.peacocksrestau rant.com. Nightly 5 p.m.–11:30 p.m. AmEx, MasterCard, and Visa accepted. $$–$$$ F.R.
