La comida y el ambiente excelente la atención del mesero fue un poco tardada, especifique en la rva que celebraba un cumpleaños si podrían traer un pastel al final . No tomaron en cuenta la petición tuve que pedir al mesero que lo trajera arruinando la sorpresa. Comentaron que los locales teníamos descuento sobre el total de la cuenta , presente mi identificación de local pero no respetaron el descuento.

We are here on our last night in Cabo and so glad we did. The ambience was perfect, the service was exceptional and the food was so good. Jairo (I think that’s how you spell his name) was incredible. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. His suggestions were spot on and he was so welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Cabo!

We had a lovely evening at El Mezquite. My wife was really looking forward to some brisket and it didn’t disappoint her. Cesear salad was crisp, fresh, and tasty. The food presentation was beautiful and it tasted very good. We had the chocolate lava cake for dessert and she loved…loved it. Really nice dinner and Fernando did an excellent job taking care of us. As with most places in Mexico you have to ask for the check when ready as they won’t rush you. It was a very nice evening.

The on-site restaurants at Vidanta San Jose del Cabo are a mystery to me. At their other locations, the restaurants are extremely busy & very popular. We’ve stayed here at SJD for 8 weeks over the past 3 years & the guests must either eat in their rooms or else go out to other local restaurants. We never see more than 2-3 tables on site with diners. The restaurants are modern, attractive & staffed with very capable people. Is it the menus, prices, I don’t know. Maybe Vidanta should ask the guests what would it take to get their business & make some changes.

This restaurant was closed although they allowed us to make a reservation. We were not alone, because there were at least a had dozen other people in the same predicament. However, we’ve been there before and loved it! We were able instead to dine at The Reserve restaurant in the same facility. Excellent food, service and ambiance. Our family of four enjoyed our appetizers ( calamari and corn) as well as the pasta carbonara , red snapper and risotto with shrimp. Tres leches dessert and signature cocktails were great as well!

Beautiful resort/hotel restaurant that was as beautiful inside as it was from the outside. Smart decor and a wonderful vibe in the restaurant. Food was creative and well composed. I would stay away from the asparagus salad but everything else was spot on. Service was very good and servers were very polite. We would dine there again.

Gorgepus setting. Our server, Joira, was OUTSTANDING. Best service we have had in our two weeks in Cabo. Food presentation and quality was excellent. The spinach parmeaean soup was out of this world! Only complaint was that the food should have been just a bit hotter. Other than that, my favorite meal in Cabo.

My wife and I tried this restaurant while staying at Vidanta. We were disappointed in the overall experience. My wife ordered a filet, but they were out of this cut at 7pm. This caused us to totally change our order. We ordered the New York strip for two. The steak was good, not great . It was huge. We ordered the grilled root vegetables and garlic Texas toast as sides. The vegetables were good, but the Texas toast was not good, especially for the price. This is not a restaurant we would try again.

We ce rated our anniversary here. Excellent hotel with views over the ocean. Hostess was very pleasant, let us choose where we wanted to sit. We sat outside on the patio which was gorgeous. It wS surrounded by water, gardens and a view of the ocean. Our server was very efficient, pleasant and very helpful. Food was brought out quickly and was delicious, a good size potion. They also brought out a dessert to celebrate our anniversary which wS both delicious and a nice surprise. It was very reasonablely priced too. We loved it. We would love to love back, but we leave tomorrow. Maybe next time.

Beautiful restaurant right on the beach. Ordered the picanha steak with a baked potato and macaroni and cheese. The food quality was ok, I asked for the picanha to be cooked medium but it was almost medium-well when it was served. Everything else was serviceable. The views were incredible, this is a beautiful property. Service was fast and friendly. Tips are included automatically but don't show the tip amount which was strange. Overall, I would return.
