From the amuse-bouche to dessert, fabulous in every bite. The wait staff was attentive and informative. Pork shank and brisket were phenomenal. While I didn’t eat it, my family raved about the octopus ceviche. 100% would return.

A beautifully designed restaurant with a wonderful staff and fabulous food. One of the best in the Palmilla area. Don’t miss the sashimi appetizer platter with Salmon, Hamachi and Blue Fin Tuna. Amazing. Thank you Geovanni for Zenna and Il Splendido. Two of the best restaurants we have experienced during our vacation!

You cannot come to Los Cabos without visiting Los Tres Gallos for dinner. We come down often, and always go to Los Tres Gallos in the Art District of San Jose. They have recently renovated the restaurant to make the bar bigger with seating, and expanded the rooftop dining. Anywhere you sit the ambience is great. The wait staff is delightful. Let them make recommendations to you and just sit back and enjoy. The drinks are hand crafted and fantastic. The food is wonderful. Do not miss the Caesar salad that they make table side. If you are lucky you will be there when the musicians are there and they play at your table. Give it a try I promise this will become a favorite restaurant!
