Los Cabos Magazine Issue #34 - Fall 2013

LOSo uCtdAoBoOrsS A sculpture by Leonora Carrington FALL 2013 | LOS CABOS MAGAZINE 47 mineral” in Spanish) is a refreshing and zesty, sweet and sassy pick-me-up. Quaff your lemonade during a late-afternoon lunch or return come evening for a meal that starts with a scallop appetizer and is followed by a hearty chile relleno. The culinary team at Mi Casa Restaurant (624-146-9263, www.micasarestaurant.com.mx) consistently prepares outof this-world Mexican classics in a paradisiacal setting. The courtyard is downright lovely, and guests at Mi Casa can expect a feast for their tastebuds as well as their eyes. The artwork that adorns Mi Casa’s walls—like the cuisine—has been handpicked from every region of México to represent the diversity and beauty of this land and its people. Here, the chile en nogada is teeming not only with flavor but also with tradition. The ribs are marinated in tamarind sauce and fire roasted so that they melt in the mouth. Top off the perfect meal with homemade mango ice cream infused with tequila; now that’s México! If romance is what you’re after, ask your concierge to make a reservation at Cata Wine Restaurant (624-142-0868, www.catawinecabo.com). The name suggests a focus on vinos—and yes, the wine list is extensive and expertly curated— but on my night here I was blown away by the menu, ambience, and service. The eclectic decor, intimate seating, and soft lighting set a romantic mood, while the attentive service allows you to get pleasantly lost in the experience. Begin with the casino clam appetizers and spinach rotolis, home dough that is rolled with spinach, ham, and three cheeses then brushed with garlic, and baked to perfection. The entrées are equally impressive. The penne de salmon is exquisite: The salmon is tender and sweet in a smoked tomato whiskey sauce. The Don Cata entrée of seafood-stuffed peppers is rich with traditional Mexican flavors. Finish off your evening on a high note with the famous Mexican flaming coffee. The veritable tableside dinner show is delightful, and, best of all, at the end of the show, guests get to enjoy the delicious coffee drink. Cata Wine offers such an amazing evening that it alone may inspire return visits to Los Cabos. Just Relax Many San José del Cabo hotels and resorts offer all you could ever want or need to properly pamper yourself. Lounge by the pool, tan, and catch up on that novel you’ve been meaning to read. Watch and feel the crash of the powerful waves, perfect for surfers, reverberate through the ground from the comfort of a padded lounge chair on the poolside patio. Refresh yourself with those cute little fruity drinks servers keep delivering along with a friendly smile. Francisco Estrada at Puerto Los Cabos.
