From left: Don’t miss the fork-tender rib eye from the capable kitchen at Cabo Wabo; the catch of the day at Café Canela is a revelation; Captain Tony’s is known for its pizza options, including this yummy selection with pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, tomatoes, basil, and pesto. rina Golden Zone, Cabo San Lucas Marina, (624) 145-6011, www.golden zonecabo.com. Daily 11 a.m.– 11 p.m. All major credit cards and vouchers accepted. $$–$$$ C.S. Black Forest Restaurant & Biergarten From its decor to its lineup—think beer, brats, sauerbraten, and goulash— everything about Black Forest will have you swearing you’re in Little Bavaria. The exterior is reminiscent of a postcard from Germany; the decor is Old World with hand-painted murals adorning the walls. To experience a true biergarten, go upstairs to enjoy German beer, snacks, live music, and Oktoberfest any time of year. This is the place in Cabo to taste of schnitzel, spaetzle, or sauerkraut. It opened in early 2015 and is a great addition to the growing variety of ethnic restaurants in Los Cabos. There are special cocktails and martinis as well as appetizers like Bavarian baked pretzels and bratwurst dipper. But don’t go overboard on snacks; there’s more to come: grilled pork hock, beef roulade smothered in rich gravy, smoked pork chop with shrimp and homemade bratwurst served with sides of red cabbage, or sauerkraut and choice of mashed potatoes or 76 Los Cabos Magazine | Winter 2016 From top: Francisco Estrada (2), Miguel Ventura Yes, families are welcome in the dining room. Vincente Guerro and Lázaro Cárdenas, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-1188, www.cabowabocantina .com. Restaurant: Daily 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Patio bar: Daily 8 a.m.–1 a.m. Club: Nightly 8 p.m.–1 a.m. All major credit cards accepted. $$–$$$ S.A.B. Café Canela What a revelation! I only recently discovered Café Canela in downtown Cabo San Lucas, but mouthwatering dishes like the grilled teriyaki fish have quickly made a fan out of me. (The entrée includes white rice and vegetables.) The quiet downtown spot— located across the street from Cabo Wabo and the Giggling Marlin—is a sister restaurant to Cabo San Lucas restaurants Mi Casa and Peacocks and San José del Cabo favorites La Panga Antigua and Mi Casa San José. It serves healthy and delicious breakfasts every day, with price that won’t break the bank—or even make a dent. Popular options on the breakfast menu include fresh fruit with yogurt and granola, pancakes with fresh fruit, toasted bagel with cream cheese, various omelets, classic Mexican chilaquiles, and egg wraps. Return for lunch, and you’ll find a diverse menu that offers everything Italian panini to Middle Eastern pomme croquette. Lighter fare is offered, and children 5 and younger eat free. Save room for hot apple strudel. Miguel Hidalgo, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-7799, www.blackforest.com. Mon.–Sat. 4 p.m.–10 p.m.; Biergarten open till midnight. MasterCard, Visa, and vouchers accepted. $$ S.A.B. Cabo Wabo Cantina Though best known for its hopping tequila and rocking bar, Cabo Wabo’s upstairs kitchen also serves outstanding dishes for lunch and dinner that are worthy of any upscale restaurant. Of course, you have to start with a drink: You can’t go wrong with the world-famous Waborita (owner Sammy Hagar’s take on a margarita) or the I Can’t Drive 55 (named for one of his songs and made with a blend of five fruit beverages and five white liquors) paired with the vampiros starter: grilled corn tortillas topped with refried black beans, Oaxaca cheese, and grilled beef fillet bits. We love the tortilla soup followed by the cilantro shrimp (grilled jumbo shrimp glazed with cilantro honey) or the chipotle rib eye. For a delicious dessert, choose from a chocolate-and-caramel tart, lemon tart with fresh fruit, bread pudding, and crème brûlée. Kids can enjoy fish or chicken fingers and fries.
