About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
Cocina del Mar restaurant, is perched atop striking cliffs overlooking the ocean and will take you on a culinary journey through the Sea of Cortez and Cabo’s verdant farms. Enter a buzzing lantern-lit bar and lounge that invites you to linger over hand-crafted cocktails before sauntering down to dinner above a cascade of oceanfront terraces kissed by white-capped waves. An outdoor exhibition kitchen is alive with energy, a perfect spot to engage with chefs and explore bites of coastal Baja cuisine and regionally inspired cocktails beside a glowing wood fired oven.

    Wow! What an amazing restaurant! If you get the chance to dine here, take it. You will not regret it. The views, the ambiance, the food, and the service are some of the best we have ever experienced. It felt like we were on the set of a movie, with waves crashing around us, live music, and beautiful lighting. This one was one of the most memorable we have ever experienced!

    This place is phenomenal on so many levels. Each dish is crafted with love and intent then plated as a piece of art. It is on the pricier side but worth the splurge. The portions are not tiny either so you get a lot for the price. They work as a team and staff are so kind/welcoming. You feel like apart of the family! Do not skip this place! And a big hats off to the people who put this restaurant together. Your vision was a true masterpiece on every fine dining level. Cheers!

    We visit every time we are in Cabo. We watched an engagement under the teepee with fireworks and all the feels. Always amazing experience.
