Delight in hacienda-style dining at Don Manuel’s, the signature Los Cabos Mexican restaurant at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. An expression of Executive Chef Gustavo Pinet’s culinary expertise, the eclectic menu changes seasonally to feature only the freshest ingredients sourced locally from Los Cabos, regionally within Mexico, and beyond. Experience the feeling of being in an authentic Mexican kitchen over breakfast at Su Cocina, then return to Don Manuel’s in the evening for cocktails and cooking that’s not to be forgotten.

On this evening we were fortunate to be present to participate in a 5 course meal hosted by Chef. Michael Mina. The food was nothing short of spectacular. In particular the pasta and lobster, the fish, and the dessert.

Loved this place! We ordered beef quesadilla, queso fundido and al pastor tacos. Everything tasty and meat was tender and cooked perfectly. Very friendly and accommodating service. And gorgeous ambiance, overlooking the ocean. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend if you are looking for great Mexican food and beautiful ambiance,
