This is a fun, family-run restaurant that has a tendency to wow. The downtown Cabo San Lucas spot is known for its eclectic Asian menu you’ll find everything from ancestral recipes to forward-thinking fusion but you’d be remiss if you didn’t also check out its budget-friendly breakfast lineup and traditional Mexican dishes.

And there’s no passing up its café flambé. Appetizers include a show-stopping molcajete filled with melted Oaxacan cheese and chorizo then flamed tableside with tequila as well as the signature Barriles Sevichimi: thin slices of tuna seasoned with soy sauce, lemon, and sesame oil and served with julienned onion, coriander leaves, garlic aioli, and guacamole. The house specialty is a Korean barbecue prepared for two people; it features shrimp, scallops, filet mignon, lobster, and chicken served with an assortment of sauces, grilled veggies, and salads. Many entrées are prepared at your table; those include the catch of the day, which might be sea bass, tuna, or red snapper. Lobster and shrimp are featured in a variety of ways; you can choose the style of preparation and sauce. Miguel Hidalgo, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-1619, www.los-barriles-cabo.com/en. Daily 7 a.m.–11 p.m. All major credit cards and vouchers accepted. $–$$$ S.A.B.
