Cocina del Mar restaurant, is perched atop striking cliffs overlooking the ocean and will take you on a culinary journey through the Sea of Cortez and Cabo’s verdant farms. 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. An outdoor exhibition kitchen is alive with energy, a perfect spot to engage with chefs and explore bites of coastal Baja cuisine and regionally inspired cocktails beside a glowing wood fired oven.

Probably the most spectacular dining view I’ve had. Our waiter Armando was fantastic, very attentive and had great recommendations for dinner. We started with the grilled octopus, which was amazing and highly recommended, it was grilled to perfection, the flavors were fantastic. My wife had the catch of the day which was locally caught sea bass on a bed of lentils, the fish was flakey flavorful and seared perfectly. I had the Baja lobster, I normally don’t get the lobster but I figured since I’m in Baja, I might as well try it, and I’m so glad I did. The lobster was fantastic, it was grilled with melted cheese with thinly sliced pickled cabbage, there was also a bean and bacon stew on the side. It all came with hand made tortillas to make that perfect lobster taco. I also had two cocktails from the menu, I don’t remember what they were but both contained mezcal and both were delicious! Overall the experience was exceptional and I would highly recommended it , especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion. We were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and they brought out a beautiful birthday dessert with giant candle.

Cocina del Mar was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the oceanfront views were breathtaking, and the service was top-notch—attentive and thoughtful, even offering to capture the perfect sunset moment multiple times during our meal. The live music was a standout, with a DJ and singer creating a unique and incredible vibe. While it's a premium experience, it’s worth every penny for the atmosphere, service, and food.
