This guide provides great info on the best places to eat in Los Cabos. You'll know where to go, what to expect, and find some amazing restaurants you won't find otherwise. We've been to Cabo several times before, but this guide really helped make our last trip special. The second edition has tons of new restaurants and information. Definitely worth purchasing.

After returning from a first time trip to Cabo I was patting myself on the back for investing in this great resource. I really needed a guide to walk me through the predicted array of wonderful to horrible restaurants of the region. Fortunately I had stumbled upon the "Los Cabos Guide to Good Eating" ensuring a well fed vacation. I've travelled around frequently and tend to have a diverse and picky palate, and I have to say that every place I tried based on the book was as good or better in terms of food quality than the review contained in the book.
Please note that the prices in Cabo have gone up considerably lately, but this new addition seems to fix the descrepancies. (note that I used the previous edition while in Cabo.) FYI, it's hard to find a meal at one of the upper end restaurants that doesn't cost even more than it would at home! Fortunately the authors provide many less expensive eateries for those nights that you want something simple...but some of those more expensive places are well worth the splurge...(like the French Riviera...)
If you're going to Cabo and you don't like eating bad expensive food, buy this book today!

This guide was a godsend! With so many restaurants in and around Cabo you never know what to expect or who will rip you off. We followed the guide for breakfast, lunch and dinner and even recommended places to fellow travelers and everyone loved it. The descriptions are great and you know what you're getting into: type of food served, atmosphere, price, family friendly, etc., so it makes it easy to choose the right spot. The little update insert is great (everyone knows restaurants come and go) and with it you know what the locals know in finding good eats!

I love the in-town restaurants that we found in the guide but the out of the way places were truly fabulous and fun - a little adventure and great food makes for lasting memories. We went to an out of the way restaurant called Buzzard's that was right on the beach, the food was great and affordable and they had large bird cages filled with parrots. We ate, played on the beach and watched the sunset - it was beautiful! This last trip to Cabo outshined our others and a big part of it was great dining experiences thanks to the Los Cabos Guide to Good Eating and More!

I go to Cabo a couple of times a year and love authentic Mexican food and trying new restaurants. I never would have found my three new favorite places without this guide, as they're well off the beaten path. I look forward to trying out some more of their recommendations next time.

It's a small book and my wife kept it in her purse everywhere we went. The authors try to keep it up-to-date, which is challenging considering how fast Cabo is growing.

I found this guide to be worth the price and then some.

Los Cabos has changed sooo much since 2003 that this is very outdated; I have had this book since 2004 and it has much good extra info on words and food descriptions, as well as travel tips, and it is light and easy to pack; thin and takes up no space. Recommended for those reasons if you don't mind outdated info.

Los Cabos has many wonderful restaurants! How do you find the truly great places and avoid the tourist traps? Buy this book! But before you go, make sure the place is still around. Restaurants come and go quickly in this area. We bought the first edition of this book and have added many notes and comments over the years because we go to Cabo twice a year. We carry the book with us always and refer to "the ladies" when deciding where to go for dinner.

Wonder why the authors do not allow you to preview a page out of the book? Because if they did you wouldn't buy it. The listed restaurants are vaguely described with a brief 4 or 5 sentences, the Los Cabos tourist traps are well represented and the guide even comes with a handy pronunciation guide, for example; Salsa (SAL-sah), Taco (TAH-ko)! Well at least that was good for a laugh! If you have a guide book to the Los Cabos area it will certainly have better recommendations. If you want to eat with the rest of the gringos that just poured off the cruise ships than this is the guide for you!

I purchased this before my Christmas vacation to Los Cabos and was disappointed as soon as it arrived. After using it; I just threw it away. You can find all of the restaurants listed in the free "Gringo Gazette" when you get there and this "guide" does not offer any "out of the way" recommendations or local "insight." It recommends the chain Ruth's Chris steakhouse, which was one of the better restaurants but I would expect more. [...] Some of the recommendations were closed and many were just simply really bad!

Book arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition.
