Bar Esquina Restaurant – Los Cabos Magazine #36

The Bahia Hotel & Beach Club’s chic on-site restaurant and bar is without equal in Cabo San Lucas. The space, which is located in the heart of the Médano Beach district, boasts a Moroccan style and sexy mystique that embolden, while the evocative menu beckons with its innovative Mexican-Mediterranean flavors. Dinner highlights include tuna tartar, braised short ribs with beet risotto, and short rib pizza. Walk by the corner spot any evening, and you’ll see ceiling fans lazily oscillating, sheer draperies billowing out of open arches, and Turkish lanterns providing a romantic glow. Return in the morning for a cappuccino from the adjacent Bar Esquina Coffee Bar & Take Out, which expertly crafts drinks with organic coffee beans imported directly from Oaxaca and Chiapas, México. Pair your drink with eggs Benedict or green chilaquiles with chicken. The combined effect of the cappuccino and the breeze that dances its way up from nearby Médano Beach is invigorating. Organic, locally sourced ingredients drive the inventive Bar Esquina menu, and that’s evident in lunch items like the ceviche, spicy pork pizza, and curry lentil soup. For more coffee options and an express breakfast, pop right into Bar Esquina Coffee Bar & Take Out, which has a robust menu with coffee and espresso drinks, freshly baked pastries, and ModuVated Energy smoothies. Most items—including cocktails—are prepared with locally sourced organic ingredients. Valet parking.
