Cocina del Mar at Esperanza Resort
Enter a buzzing lantern-lit bar and lounge that invites you to linger over hand-crafted cocktails before sauntering down to
dinner above a cascade of oceanfront terraces kissed by white-capped waves. The outdoor exhibition kitchen is alive with energy as guests engage with chefs and explore bites of coastal Baja cuisine and regionally inspired cocktails beside a glowing wood fired oven.
Food portions were very small this year. Don't know what the change is.
What a fine dining experience! Absolutely among the top of all the fine dining restaurants that we have been to anywhere in the world!
The view, service, and food were all spectacular.
Most amazing restaurant, views as the restaurant becomes one with the sea. Service is best in Cabo, food too. Don’t miss this one.
Loved everything about this restaurant :) Best food, ambience, service, views.
This place is the best of the best ! Amazing views and fabulous service!
Lovely meal with our friends! Gorgeous setting and the food was outstanding!
Beautiful view with friendly servers! Great experience!
Wow what an amazing restaurant. An unforgettable experience. It was perfect from start to finish.
First of all, the venue is amazing. From the time you enter the property you are surrounded by impeccably manicured grounds. The setting is surely one of the most beautiful anywhere in the world. Get there early and take a walk around the property to get the full experience. Before enjoying the setting at Cocina del mar make sure to visit the smaller pool side bar and let Marcello take you through a lesson about Mezcal. Then go to larger bar at Cocina del Mar and let Giovani finish up your Tequila or Mezcal experience. The menu at the restaurant has a wide selection but don't miss the salt incrusted fish for 2. It comes out light, moist and flaky. The chef definitely knows what he is doing. Allow yourself plenty of time to have one of the best dining experiences on the planet.
Beautiful!

Our favorite meal and best views of any restaurant we visited on our month in Cabo. Service was excellent and food was delicious. We liked it so much we canceled other reservations so we could go back for a second time.
Dear CGisGREAT, Thank you so much for your visit in our beautiful restaurant. We would love to have you back. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food & Beverage Director
Unbelievable views of the ocean and sunset in this outdoor terrace. The service was amazing and the food was incredible. One of the best dinners I have had period.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for rating us, we are happy that you had an incredible experience. You can always come back! Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Director of Food & Beverage
Beautiful view overlooking the water and excellent service.
The avocado salad was large enough for two to share and the flavor was both unusual and incredibly delicious.
We had the whole fish for two which was red snapper. It was superb - simply roasted and accompanied by three different sauces and warm tortillas.
Dessert was also great - apples combined with cumquats.
Even as the prices are high, the cost is well worth the dining experience.

As always the food is delicious and the service from Javier and Marcos superb. We have dine here many many times over the years and while it’s pricey, it’s fabulous. We recommend the totoaba and the grouper.
Dear KathrynP, Thank you for being part of this familia, we love to have you back always. Thank you for sharing your comments. And we hope to see you soon. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food & Beverage Director
The view is stunning. Food was very good and arrived with perfect temperature. My only complaint would be the constant push to have another cocktail, wine or dessert. While the waiter took our order and was the one to ask us this, he did not serve the food or ask us how everything was. We felt that the service charge on the check was enough for he tip as there as no individual who worked more than another or showed more interest in us than another.
Dear sandim, Thank you for taking the opportunity to write us this valuable feedback, for us it is very important your opinion, this help us to prevent this future situations with our guests. We would love to have you back with us in our beautiful restaurant. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food & Beverage Director

Dear DavidW, Let's celebrate for more visits to come, we would love to have you again. Thank you for sharing your feedback. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food & Beverage Director
This restaurant was disappointing and very overpriced. The bar-top was filthy and caked with remnants from past meals that had not been properly wiped down. Front of the house was poorly managed, and we did not get table we had requested far in advance. When I asked about the request we were just left to wait for an additional 15 minutes. The butter tasted like a refrigerator. Food was not great, except for very good desserts. Everything was fresh, but it was not well prepared and flavorings were not really tasty. I would have been happy to pay these sort of prices for a top-notch meal, but this just missed the mark.
Dear Guest, We apologize for all these inconvenients you had on your experience, please give us a second chance to amend your experience. We hope to see you soon with us. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food & Beverage Director

Dear Jas44, We are so happy for your comments, thank you so much for spent your time with us, we hope to see you soon again. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food & Beverage Director
Spectacular setting overlooking the crashing waves on Christmas Eve.
Beautiful location! Beware the special menu on holidays very expensive and it is a set menu! Beautiful view but go have a drink and eat some place else! Tip and service charge added in at end!
Dear CarNoVore, Thank you so much for your visit, we apologies for the inconvenience of having a set menu over Festive time. You are more than welcome to visit us again. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food & Beverage Director
Very poor food. Shocking high price for such low quality meal. Been to Cabo many many times and worst meal for 3x +++ the price. Will not return. Almost embarrassing
Dear TomB, We are sorry to read you had a bad experience with us, please let us amend your experience. If you provide us a second chance we would pamper you at our beautiful Restaurant. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food and Beverage Director
Amazing place. Best in Cabo. Service. Food. Wine list. Ambience. Unmatched.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your feedback and rating. We hope to see you soon again. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - F&B Director
Excellent restaurant. Super romantic setting, so it’s great for a special occasion. The live music is subtle and romantic. The food is delicious and the desserts are amazing (my favourite dessert menu in Cabo - I would recommend the churros, chocolate coulant, or coconut sorbet). The service was excellent, I was very impressed with my server Limber - he asked the kitchen to custom make me a chocolate soufflé after I told him that I really wanted one. He made our experience very special. I definitely recommend this spot!
Dear Myamaui, Thank you so much for taking the time and share this amazing feedback. We are very happy to read that our own staff is committed to pamper our guests. Limber did a great job! We hope to see you back in our beautiful restaurant. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - F&B Director

The most beautiful setting!
Dear SallyK, Thank you so much for your visit, we hope you had the most vibrant experience. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - Food & Beverage Director
We dined around Cabo during our 10 day visit and Covina Del Mar was hands down our favorite. Stunning setting nestled between an artfully designed resort and the sea. Danny, our waiter, provided attentive service without imposing on our conversation or experience. The chef did a magnificent job with creative preparations based on traditional Mexican methods ... especially the salsas! Right up there with El Farillon, but uniquely wonderful in its own way!
Dear RobetW, A big thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We enjoyed so much reading your feedback. Thank you for making it so special. Cocina del Mar familia says a warm Thank you! We hope to see you soon. Sincerely, Matías Martínez - F&B Director
It was spectacular, the drinks, dishes and service was fantastic
