Cabo San Lucas
Our current pick, as of March 15th, for Best All Around Restaurant in Cabo is Pochos Restaurant located on the Marina.
This cute little restaurant is right in the center of the Marina's restaurant distric. The food is very tasty, and prices are far lower than most if not all the restaurants on the Marina.
When in Cabo iIt truly is difficult to decide which restaurant to go to on the Marina, and after going to one you may decide that the view was nice and therefore the high price. Well, Pochos is the exception. The chef takes pride in what comes out of his kitchen and the prices are modest for Cabo, with entrees from $12 to $27.
The menu ranges from traditional Mexican foods such as chicken enchiladas and chicken molle, which is outstanding, to lobster tails that are large, fresh and delicious. For desert you must try the Bananas Beignet... they are to die for. Ok, you may be thinking this review is biased. Well it is. I live in Cabo and eat out daily. It took me over 2 years to discover that there really is a good restaurant on the Marina. Pochos is my favorite restaurant.
Located on “restaurant row” at Plaza Bonita, on the Cabo San Lucas Marina, Pochos is
open daily, with a full breakfast menu, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m
For reservations, call (624) 144-3183
Kathya the hostess will greet you with a warm smile and if you mention that you read about Pochos on Goin2Travel she will give you a free round of drinks with dinner. If you don't agree with my review, ask her how to get in touch with me, and Ill treat you to another free round of drinks.
Alexander Bistro: A very attractive setting facing the marina, international dishes prepared by owner / chef Alex Brulhart. Located at Plaza Bonita. Dinner only.
Billygan’s Island
A very popular Cabo San Lucas beach bar, Billygan’s Island on Playa El Médano, offers fun, fun, fun, day or night. Like its other beach bar neighbors, Billygan’s is the place to be for happy hour from 12pm to 7pm daily. During these times you can expect to receive two for one drinks on any cocktail. The cuisine is international, but the atmosphere is extremely casual; bikinis are more than acceptable as well as expected here. Come in the morning and have breakfast, then ask a waiter for a couple of lounge chairs and soak up the sun, rent a wave runner or go parasailing. Come back and have lunch and before you know it, it’s Happy Hour, the reason you came in the first place! During Spring Break you can hardly get near this restaurant, so come early or avoid Playa El Médano completely. Either way, while in Cabo San Lucas a trip to this beach is a must for any meal of the day, but Happy Hour is highly recommended. Open 7am to 10pm and located next to The Office at the foot of Paseo del Pescador. Telephone: 143-0402.
