Dining & Culinary Concepts
Located in the historic centre of San José del Cabo, San José del Criollo offers a contemporary exploration of Mexican cuisine led by Executive Chef Luis Arellano. Combining ingredients from Baja with techniques and flavours influenced by Oaxaca and wider Mexico, the result is an immersive dining experience that puts regional produce and Mexican culinary storytelling centre stage.
Set in downtown Cabo San Lucas, N16 offers relaxed contemporary dining centred on quality ingredients, bold flavours and sharing dishes. The creative menu spans sea and land, with highlights including leg of lamb gyoza and whole grilled shrimp, alongside pasta, charcoal-grilled vegetables and inventive desserts, complemented by Mexican and international wines, craft beer and spirits.
Perched above the Pacific, Amara Baja celebrates the Baja Peninsula through seasonal, ingredient-led cuisine from breakfast through dinner. Mornings bring corn hotcakes with piloncillo syrup, Amara chilaquiles and French toast with mascarpone and Mexican pot-coffee sauce, while evening dishes include giant shrimp with chintextle and pineapple and catch of the day with seaweed mole.
Beach Clubs & Bars
One of San José del Cabo’s newest beachfront venues, SanJo Beach Club offers an intimate, laid-back setting overlooking the Sea of Cortés. With just ten daybeds and an exclusive pool, the focus is on relaxed beach days rather than a party atmosphere. Chef César Pita’s menu celebrates Baja flavours with birria chilaquiles, tacos, sashimi and pizzas, while a programme of events ranges from Taco Tuesdays and beachfront movie nights to guest-chef takeovers and wellness mornings.
One of Los Cabos’ newest LGBTQ+ venues, Bar Ligaya brings an inclusive energy to San José del Cabo’s nightlife. Alongside signature cocktails, the bar hosts drag performances, tribute shows and guest DJ sets, with its 2026 Pride programme featuring queer DJs from across Mexico and a special performance from Mia Star of RuPaul’s Drag Race, adding to the destination’s increasingly diverse nightlife scene.
Located within the new LAIVA complex in San José del Cabo’s Historic Art District, Ceniza is a sophisticated cocktail bar bringing craft mixology to the neighbourhood’s creative scene. Cocktails inspired by local Baja ingredients make it a stylish spot for enjoying San José del Cabo after dark.
