Madeira Bistro – LCM 46 Spring 2017

There are two kinds of people: those who’ve had Brazilian barbecue and those who have not. Consider us converts. We’re big fans of the mesquite-fire-cooked Brazilian-style meats generally, but especially at Rodrigo Aensa’s fanastic Madeira Bistro, which serves all-you-can-eat rodízio-style barbecue paired with red wine for only $28 U.S.

Eco Bar – LCM 45 Winter 2017

The Eco Cat catamaran is a Cabo San Lucas mainstay, and its owners’ Eco Bar on the Cabo San Lucas Marina is quickly becoming a favorite of tourists and locals, too. The palapa-style restaurant and sports bar has seven flat-screen televisions for viewing NFL, NBA, NHL, boxing, and college games, and its hearty menu has plenty of options to keep you nourished through a day and night of sports viewing. Budget-friendly entrées include beef, chicken, and shrimp quesadillas; vegetarian burritos; hot wings; fish and chips; ceviche; and a kid’s menu featuring hot dogs and fries, chicken fingers, and spaghetti with meatballs.

El Coral – LCM 45 Winter 2017

Before resorts dotted Cabo’s beaches. Before A-listers flew in from across the world to vacation. Before there was Cabo Wabo, there was El Coral. Now, more than four decades in, this iconic Cabo San Lucas restaurant is better than ever. Located at the intersection of Marina Boulevard and Miguel Hidalgo (directly across the street from Tesoro Los Cabos Hotel), the family-owned restaurant recently underwent a remodel.

Madeira Bistro – LCM 45 Winter 2017

This downtown favorite reopened in October after a renovation that spruced up the restaurant but left owner Rodrigo Aensa’s fabulous dinner menu just the way patrons love it. In Madeira Bistro the most popular option here remains the $28 U.S. all-you-can-eat rodízio-style barbecue served with a highly recommended Argentina wine. The meal includes basil-flavored mashed potatoes, sweet and tasty cabbage coleslaw, two small chicken wings, and three sweet potato slices.

Mango Cantina – LCM 45 Winter 2017

This Cabo San Lucas Marina mainstay might as well be called Sports Central because it’s the spot sports fans flock to in Los Cabos for all things NFL, NBA, MLB, UFC, NCAA, NHL, and NASCAR, not to mention college sports, boxing, and international sports. Grab a seat and a cerveza (did we mention two-for-one happy hour lasts all day?) as you take in your favorite team on one of its 16 HD screens. The food is terrific, too.

Mi Casa – LCM 45 Winter 2017

Speak to a regular visitor to Cabo San Lucas, and you’re likely to hear something like this: “We come every year, and every year we make sure to visit Mi Casa!” Why such loyalty? The charming and expansive downtown spot—part of the Mi Casa family of restaurants that also includes La Panga Antigua and Peacock’s—is a celebration of traditional Mexican cuisine, art, and culture. .
