   I have been wanting to eat at Manta for several years but it never worked out until last night. Here is my overall take away. The tasting menu is way over priced for what you get. The short rib bao buns were phenomenal!! I will def order those again and I will tell you how at the end of my review. The hummus and vegetables was also good. They serve meals with four salsa ranging from mild to spicy and upon request, a fifth salsa (called “black tears”) is available. Every one of the salsas were delicious. Black tears was very yummy but unbelievably spicy! For the mains, we ordered the sweet potato in mole (one reason I wanted to go to Manta) and the chili crusted rib eye with dirty rice and guacamole. Neither of the mains were great and the rib eye was inedible (hard and tasteless). However the dirty rice and guacamole were very good. The desserts included a yogurt with fruit and a miso dark chocolate flan. The flan was outstanding. To sum up, I would not return to Manta for dinner as there are other upscale places in Cabo with better food (Comal being one). But I would order the bao buns, the guacamole and the flan for a light dinner. They are worth it!

   Everything about this restaurant was amazing… It’s a great view. Great surface, and the food was spectacular. We also got engaged there, so I guess that has a certain to every category but the food was for sure to die for!! And it’s awesome to be able to go to the rooftop before or after dinner!!

   La comida no está a la altura, por mucho, de un restaurant Michelin. Pobre en sabor y en ejecución y muy muy sobrevalorada.
