Sunset, farm dinners, and tasting menus often need advance planning. Reserve directly with the restaurant and reconfirm before leaving for Cabo.
Cabo San Lucas is easiest for marina and Medano Beach nights. The Corridor is best for a resort-area splurge. San José is ideal for Art District evenings and farm dining.
For restaurants outside your hotel zone, arrange transportation before dinner so your evening stays easy from first cocktail to last course.
