By Renowned Mexican Chef, Enrique Olvera, Manta is the culinary centerpiece of The Cape, A Thompson Hotel. With an intriguing double meaning, the manta ray symbolizes the kitchen"s focus on seafood, while manta, the Spanish word for blanket, conveys the chef's emphasis on comfort. Acknowledge by the New York Times for his "way of confirming and subverting expectations of Mexican food at the same time," Olvera has drawn inspiration from the izakaya tradition to introduce a pan-Pacific concept of Mexican cuisine. The intimate, richly textured space features a dramatic exhibition kitchen and a curated beverage menu focused on mezcals, tequilas and sakes.

    Food was incredible. Wine list was outrageously priced however (there were wines by the glass that were priced more than an entrees), so we ordered a lot less wine. That was our only complaint.

    An incredible experience with delicious and thoughtful plates. Four plates were sufficient for two of us. Plus the best tres leches I’ve ever had.

    Absolutely excellent. This place earned a Michelin star in 2024 and it is well deserved. We started with the blue fin sashimi and it's one of the best things on the menu. Superb. Miso fish tacos were very good and the short rib bao buns incredible. The Korean fried chicken is a staple and is also very good. You sort of can't miss on the menu. For dessert do not skip the tres leches cake, excellent. Service is excellent, the view and ambiance are amazing. Have come to love this place and I eat here on every trip to Cabo now. Can't wait to come back.

    We did the tasting menu between two friends. Without asking they gave us desert to share and only one portion of each desert. They also forgot to serve us a side on the main course. Food was great but service in terms of the kitchen was not ideal.
