An instant hit on the Cabo San Lucas Marina, relative newbie Dos Mares just keeps getting better. From its picture-perfect location, you can take in romantic views of the gleaming water, polished yachts, and pretty people who stroll the walkway. Mediterranean menu items pop; there’s seafood, pastas, gourmet pizzas, and steaks. The food is every bit the equal of the views. If you’re coming for dinner, start with the tuna sashimi, an excellent example of chef Juan Manuel Sánchez’s creative approach to contemporary cuisine. This succulent appetizer matches traditional accents like fennel and goat cheese with the zesty tang of fresh orange, a tropical flavor burst that infuses an old standard with new vitality. Bold and unexpected combinations are Sánchez’s stock-in-trade, and his pairings of seemingly incongruous ingredients produce some spectacular results. Continue on your culinary journey with the creamy portobello mushroom soup or a signature smoked salad topped with guajillo vinaigrette, then tuck into exquisitely crafted entrées like the filet mignon in port sauce with mushrooms, zucchini, and caramelized shallots. The fresh catch of the day is also a superb choice, particularly when served bathed in the chef’s heavenly pink sauce. The owners recently introduced a wonderful lunch special: For $8.50 U.S., you can enjoy a salad with thick seared tuna slices, a burger and fries, or tacos.
