The 14 Best Restaurants In Cabo San Lucas & San Jose Del Cabo - Cabo - The Infatuation

"In case you forget you’re in paradise, Monalisa’s view of the Sea of Cortez will jolt you back to that reality. This is a popular spot for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, and any other day that requires sunset backdrops. But it’s not just a trap for photos—the Mediterranean menu is stacked with octopus and scallops that were only swimming very recently, a wide selection of vegetarian options, and a fantastic truffle fettuccine." - nili blanck

"Sunset Monalisa is one of the most romantic restaurants in the world. Its views of Cabo San Lucas Bay and the arch at Land’s End are spectacular any time of day but particularly at sunset, when the sky turns vibrant shades of red, yellow, and purple. Love is definitely in the air here: Servers report at least one engagement per week, and it’s a favorite wedding venue. The multitiered cliffside restaurant features a Taittinger Terrace Oyster and Champagne Bar, as well as an exceptional Mediterranean menu from chef Paolo della Corte, who trained in Michelin-starred kitchens. Navigate the à la carte options independently or opt for the prix fixe or tasting menus."

We visited Sunset Monalisa to celebrate our anniversary, and the experience was on an entirely different level compared to other high-end restaurants we’ve been to in Cabo, including places like Taboo in the past. From start to finish, this felt like true fine dining done right. We reserved the premium edge seating and paid extra for it—absolutely worth every dollar. The uninterrupted ocean views at sunset were breathtaking, and the live music added a beautiful, romantic touch without ever feeling overwhelming. The food was outstanding. We ordered the porcini oysters, kampachi carpaccio, 20-layer lasagna, and lobster tortellini. For dessert, we had the Ruby of Mona Lisa and the smoked chocolate and hazelnut—every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. My wife also opted for the premium wine pairing, which elevated her experience even further—each pairing was perfectly matched and added another layer of enjoyment to the meal. We were also offered an off-menu course they’re working on: raw lobster with caviar and mushroom truffle. It was a unique dish and a fun experience to try something not yet on the menu. The views alone are reason enough to come here, but the service, attention to detail, and overall atmosphere truly set Sunset Monalisa apart. Yes, it’s a premium price-point restaurant, but we left with zero regrets. If you’re celebrating a special occasion or want a truly memorable dining experience in Cabo, this place is a must.

Sunset Monalisa truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most unforgettable dining experiences in Cabo. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was magical — the view overlooking the ocean at sunset is absolutely breathtaking, like a movie scene. It’s one of those places where you can’t help but pause and just take in the moment. The service was exceptionally warm and attentive. Our server made us feel genuinely welcomed and checked in at all the right times without being intrusive. You can tell the team here takes pride in creating a special experience for every guest. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. Every dish felt refined but not pretentious, and the pacing of the meal was perfect — enough time to enjoy the view and the ambience without ever feeling rushed. If you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want a memorable night out, Sunset Monalisa is absolutely worth it. The combination of the view, the atmosphere, the service, and the food makes it one of the best dining destinations in Cabo. Highly recommended.

This place offers stunning view of the Pacific Ocean along with the Arch of Cabo San Lucas. The arch is a bit far out but definitely visible when the weather condition is good. We made reservation with the premium seating and received a table right next to the edge without any other table between us and the view. It was truly amazing. The service was good too as one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The food is more subjective. I think the food was fine, not bad nor amazing but fine. We had the 3 course tasting menu with another 6 course tasting menu. Most of the dishes were fine but the grilled octopus was disappointing. It was rather bland without much of char taste. Overall I think it is still worth a visit for the view.

The atmosphere is quite incredible. We saw a beautiful sunset while we sat at our table. A live band was playing and it fit the mood. I give the 5 stars to service and ambiance. I gave 4 stars due to my husband who had ordered the 6 course meal. The octopus was overcooked which made it very very tough and the last course was a filet, but maybe not the best cut. The waiter was very understanding and rectified the problem with a substantial discount. My meal was superb. I had a three-course meal oysters, sea bass, and a chocolate mouse with hazelnuts. It was excellent!! We will come back and would recommend this restaurant to our friends.

This restaurant blew us away! The views are absolutely stunning – you’re treated to a breathtaking panoramic view. With the sunset, it just elevates the entire dining experience. The food is simply exquisite. Every dish we tried was packed with flavour and presented beautifully. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavours were perfectly balanced. Would have loved to try every item on the menu! The set menu/ degustation menu was perfect. What truly made the night unforgettable was the service. The staff (I think we had Oliver that evening) were warm, attentive, and professional. They made sure we felt taken care of the entire time, and even went the extra mile to accommodate our dietary preferences. Definitely a must in Cabo. Thank you for the wonderful dining experience. We cant wait to come back!

This is an overdue review, but please pay heed to this review for Sunset Monalisa <3 My family and I came here for my mother's 70th birthday celebration and from the beginning we were met with respect and hospitality. I previously reached out for reservation about 3-4 weeks out from our dinner and was able to request a table for our party of five. I did not do my due diligence and complete the reservation so when we were finally on the trip and I made a call to confirm the reservation, unfortunately, it had been cancelled. Again, this was my fault. A lovely lady by the name of FERNANDA--in the reservations department--was able to coordinate the completion of a same-day reservation for my mother's birthday and we ended up being seated at a wonderful table despite the evening being almost packed. Thank you so much Fernanda to you and your excellent customer service skills! Right away I knew we were going to have a great night because she re-assured me that customer service still exists, especially at a nice restaurant like Sunset. Moving forward to dinner, we were tended to by ALBERTO and ADRIAN--I believe I am remembering that correctly (please forgive me if I misspoke the names). The service was prompt, laid-back and fun, and most of all thorough. Our food was delicious and the meats we ordered were cooked exactly the way we ordered them. We started with the bone marrow and yellow tuna as well as the seared san carlos scallops to start which both went marvelously together. The bone marrow was creamy and succulent perfectly offsets the natural acidity of the tuna. We also had dinner selections of the wagyu ribeye and tenderloin filets, all of which I would come back for. Adrian and Alberto were amazing and friendly, smiling throughout and even kind enough to take a quick selfie with us which I have attached to this review. And lastly, the sunset and views were amazing to end the night. We were given complimentary dessert offerings of small chocolate squares and mini red velvet macarons which tasted wonderfully. Needless to say, when I visit Los Cabos again myself I will be back to Sunset Monalisa. I recommend you visit too!

Unfortunately, you are very much paying for the view with this restaurant- which is incredible for sure. The atmosphere is absolutely lovely, with gorgeous live music and a beautiful tiered balcony overlooking the ocean and arch. Doesn’t get much better than that. But the food has much to be desired- we did the 6 course tasting menu with the wine pairing. The first couple of courses were ok- although they served the ceviche on a bed of salt (for presentation purposes), but is not practical for eating purposes as multiple of us dropped our bite into the salt, which ended in a very salty bite of ceviche. The fish dish, truffle fettuccini and dessert were very good. The steak, octopus and lobster were all incredibly tough and overcooked, and most of us could barely finish them. I will say the portions are quite large for a tasting menu, so will give points for that. The wine pairing was also mediocre, with none of the wines really pairing all that well. We would have preferred to just get a couple of bottles among the 6 of us, but the bottles were incredibly over priced for the quality of wine. Unfortunately I can’t recommend this place unless you want an overpriced meal in a very beautiful location.

This restaurant has one of the best views in Cabo Sa Lucas. Many courses to choose from. It has a large cocktail and wine list. Food was fantastic. Food choices are somewhat limited to course selection. You must prepay for a good table and the sunset time. I recommend booking five to six weeks ahead of time.
