Cabo's Restaurants are everywhere. The variety of cuisines and settings is endless. Some are as fancy and expensive as you'll find anywhere.

Fresh tasty seafood dinners are plentiful and reasonably priced, thanks to local fishing. "Catch of the day" might be dorado, cabrillo, dogfish, huachinango, pesca fuerta, halibut, parrotfish, sierra, any of several kinds of tuna, or many others whose names are less familiar. Several varieties of shrimp, octopus, abalone, squid, scallops, clams, oysters, crab and sea snails are popular. A nice lobster dinner runs ten dollars and up.

Seafood tacos are the favorite local "fast food". They can be delicious and cheap, generous chunks of whatever fish was most recently pulled from the water. Or, make it shrimp, clams, scallops or excellent barbecued chicken, pork or beef.

Local produce is inexpensive and delicious, and includes mangos, avocados, limes and other citrus fruits, papayas, cactus fruit, bananas, dates and numerous garden vegetables. Familiar U.S. grocery brands (and California produce) are generally available but much more expensive, and often not as tasty as Mexican versions.

There are hundreds of restaurants in Los Cabos as well as a number of 5-star restaurants at which to eat. Villa del Palmar Cabo has two excellent restaurants -- Bella California (at the beach with a spectacular view of the Sea of Cortez and El Arco) and Las Tortugas (featuring gourmet international cuisine and nightly entertainment).
