Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

An immensely popular book since its first release in December of 2000. The Los Cabos Guide to Good Eating is distinguished by the fact that it accepts no restaurant advertising and reviews each of the recommended establishments strictly on merit.

The book is conveniently divided into the three major areas of Los Cabos: Cabo San Lucas, The Corridor and San Jose del Cabo.

The authors re-visit all the establishments in the book many times throughout the year and continually re-evaluate their recommendations.

From the Author

We wrote this book because we were constantly being asked by visitors "Where should we eat?" In 1999 we began handing out lists of our favorites. People were so pleased with our recommendations that we began getting more requests for the list than we could handle. It became so time consuming we decided to write this guide instead.

Los Cabos boasts almost 400 eating establishments, ranging from inexpensive taco stands to 5 star restaurants. So this book was designed to help wade through the mystery of the standard magazine and newspaper ads and answer the questions about where, when and how much. Our criteria for being listed in the book is that each of the places we recommend has to have something special about it. Something that makes you want to go back time and time again.

This book is as important as an airplane ticket or sunscreen when going to Cabos San Lucas or San Jose Del Cabo.

I have been to this area of Baja twice before and have spent a lot of time trying to pick restaurants that would be good and safe from the hundreds of places to eat. With this book not only did we save time, we saved money and we ate like kings. The books has everything from fine dining to places with dirt floors, and all of then were safe and beyong good. They were great.

In the ten days we were in Cabo we ate in 14 different places from this book.

It would be worth buying this book if the price was $50 instead of $5. Buy this guide and keep it with you at all times when going to Cabo. I did, and now my clothes don't fit.

This guide provides the inside scoop on some great places to eat in Los Cabos. We knew where to go, what to expect, and had some great meals at restaurants we never would have found otherwise. It really helped make our vacation special. Definitely worth purchasing.

This review is from: Los Cabos Guide to Good Eating (Paperback)

I just returned from a first time trip to Cabo and before I left I really needed a guide to walk me through the predicted array of wonderful to horrible restaurants of the region. Fortunately I stumbled upon the "Los Cabos Guide to Good Eating" ensuring a well feed 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 and it's hard to find a meal at one of the nice 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, just be aware that in the current edition all of the price levels should be raised $5-10 per meal! (Sometimes more!)
If you're going to Cabo and you don't like eating bad expensive food, buy this book today!
