Surrounded by water and graced with fertile land, the Baja Peninsula has emerged as a superstar in the culinary world. As you plan your adventures in Los Cabos restaurants, learn some of the modern trends that make this dining destination so unique.

In Los Cabos, you may hear the phrase “choyera cuisine,” which brings together modern and traditional cuisine inspired by ingredients from the region. Baja Med is another style that has risen to international fame, fusing Mexican, Mediterranean and Asian influences. Pioneered by Baja chefs such as Miguel Ángel Guerrero and Javier Plascencia, this cuisine has made its presence known in Baja Sur. Enjoy a multicourse Baja Med experience at chef Plascencia’s Jazamango in Todos Santos that celebrates local ingredients — like Baja oysters topped with ponzu and a zucchini “carpaccio” with plantain vinegar and Italian Parmesan.

Ocean-to-table cuisine appears at chef Plascencia’s Animalón by the sea, a one-of-a-kind floating restaurant where every ingredient comes from the Baja Peninsula and the nearby waters. Enjoy ingredients from an organic farm arrives on your plate at Tamarindos restaurant tucked within a 19th-century farmhouse just outside of San José del Cabo. In the heart of the Arts District, Jardin Secreto lives up to its name as secret garden restaurant where Mexican and Mediterranean flavors merge together.
