Pitahayas Though it was forced to close for a time following the devastating Category 3 hurricane that tore a path through Southern Baja in September 2014, chef Volker Romeike’s Pitahayas is back in a big way. Its location at the Hacienda del Mar allows for breathtaking views of sunsets and moon rises over the Sea of Cortés, and its exceptional menu, outstanding service, and beautiful palapa roof elevate Pitahayas to the higher echelon of Los Cabos restaurants. Chef Romeike creates Pacific Rim dishes such as tempura of honey pineapple topped with duck prosciutto and a cream sauce with a nice but not-too-hot bite for starters.
