Wonderful restaurant. Food, service and ambiance was perfect. Loved the setting. A bit difficult to find in the dark and on the bumpy dirt roads but well worth the effort. Would return!!

Tacos and cocktails were delicious and they have decent wine (something rare at a taco joint)! The guac was perfect and creamy. We tried many different tacos (order 3-5 depending how hungry you are) and were impressed by all the different flavour combinations. There was live music and some singing along and dancing! A fun place with great food!

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!

About the restaurant

Bar Esquina has been Los Cabos’ go-to for a grown-up good time, offering exceptional food, killer cocktails, an extensive wine list, and a vibrant atmosphere that attracts locals and visitors from across Baja Sur. Whether guests gather at our social 17-seat marble bar or assemble around a table on our terrace, Esquina is a place where new friends and special memories are made. Nightly entertainment includes live music, seven evenings a week, and Chef Andres Bracamontes’ open kitchen. Chef Andres’ carefully crafted menu, much-loved by Esquina’s many regulars, is influenced by the Mediterranean, California, and his home state of Guadalajara — and emphasizes good food, shared with good friends. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Esquina evolves throughout the day, but it’s in the evening that it really comes alive. At Esquina, every night is a celebration.
