The Baja Cantina Group’s latest venture is Manuel’s by Baja Cantina (624-143-1111), a full-service catering company that has already proved itself capable of handling the style and scope of any request, from intimate beachfront weddings to large-scale corporate retreats, romantic outings for two to multicourse dinners for 2,000. Even the largest and most detailed-oriented to-dos don’t daunt Manuel’s namesake—Baja Cantina Group corporate chef Manuel Arredondo—who over the course of a long career as an acclaimed banquets chef has helmed the food and beverage side of high-profile events like the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, the 2000 World Series, the 2000 Republican National Convention, Major League Baseball's All-Star Game in 2004, Super Bowl XXXVIII, and the 75th and 80th birthday galas of former U.S. President George H.W. Bush. Arredondo’s experience allows him and his crack staff to adapt to any locale, accommodate custom menus incorporating specific dietary restrictions, and provide the sort of accents and amenities—Flowers? Wine? Music? Horses?— that transform any fête into the experience of a lifetime. The company works with clients to create custom menus for each event, with the flexibility to blend any ethnic cuisine with more localized specialties like Baja Med-style fusions, dishes featuring fresh local seafood, and fresh produce from organic farmers in nearby communities like Miraflores and Santiago. Generally speaking, the only ingredients that aren’t locally sourced are the choice cuts of USDA certified beef flown in from the United States. And, best of all, at least as far as cabeños (residents of Los Cabos) are concerned, Manuel’s by Baja Cantina also offers special discounted menus—priced in pesos—for locals. �� SPRING 2015 | LOS CABOS MAGAZINE 71 DINING From left: For a traditional Mexican experience, head to María Corona; the grilled smoked salmon is a favorite dinner item there.
