By Renowned Mexican Chef, Enrique Olvera, Manta is the culinary centerpiece of The Cape, A Thompson Hotel. With an intriguing double meaning, the manta ray symbolizes the kitchen"s focus on seafood, while manta, the Spanish word for blanket, conveys the chef's emphasis on comfort. Acknowledge by the New York Times for his "way of confirming and subverting expectations of Mexican food at the same time," Olvera has drawn inspiration from the izakaya tradition to introduce a pan-Pacific concept of Mexican cuisine. The intimate, richly textured space features a dramatic exhibition kitchen and a curated beverage menu focused on mezcals, tequilas and sakes.

Tenía expectativas muy altas porque me lo habían recomendado mucho. Escogimos el menú de 5 tiempos para probar toda la experiencia pero de esos 5, dos me parecieron bastante regulares, las ensaladas y los platos fuertes. Por el precio del menú, no lo volvería a tomar, sobre todo comparado con otros lugares de precios similares o menores que conocí ahí en Cabo San Lucas.

You can’t beat the view and the food, but the service was disappointing for a high-end restaurant that charged $30+ for a glass of basic Decoy wine. They charged us for a cocktail that we had some allergic reaction to (despite noting the allergy) and it took us almost an hour just to get the check. I won’t be coming back here.

My expectations were very high dining at a restaurant run by renowned chef Enrique Olvera. The food did not disappoint at all despite the fact that the ribeye was cold. The poorest was the service and the best was the spectacular view. However, I'm not sure I'll visit again.

The food was absolutely amazing! We love all of Enrique Olvera’s restaurants. Our waiter Daniel was so accommodating and we even received a surprise anniversary dessert and drink. I absolutely loved the almond mole on the sweet potato. All I have to say is when you go to any of Chef Enrique’s restaurants you have to respect the detail that goes in the menu. It is always a wonderful experience.

We had wonderful anniversary dinner at Manta. We really enjoyed the tasting menu- the sashimi, soft shell crab tacos and melon salad with mint and yuzu were stand outs. The ambience and views cannot be beat. The service throughout the meal was also top notch. Faostino and Leonel were excellent servers. Highly recommended.

I was expecting much more from the chef of Pujol. I’m not sure if this was a newer restaurant but things didn’t seem to be ironed out. Food was average and fish tacos as an establishment like this seemed out of place. I think the one thing that really put off my company was that we were forced to sit a certain way. We both wanted to sit next to each other facing the view. We were told to either remove to a booth to sit together or go back to sitting across from each other. It wasn’t about sitting next to each other but rather to see the view out the window. The vibe and ambience was good but food was below par. There was an unfortunate situation where a ridiculous man slid his plate across the table and made a scene about how he disliked the food. This was way out of line and stupid beyond belief but speaks to the disappointment we had in the overall food.
