We had heard of Torote through social media but had never been there. We checked it out in advance because it’s a bit off the beaten path. Glad we did. The afternoon we were to visit, there was what appeared to be a massive storm gathering, so we were skeptical about driving “up” the mountain and messaged the restaurant. They immediately responded and said the weather was supposed to be nice that evening. Sure enough, the storm passed quickly. However, we turned out to be the only courageous diners until 2 hours later. We both had cocktails (excellent) a fresh oyster appetizer (excellent) and my wife had a fresh fish dish on rice (excellent) and I had a hours long cooked short rib (excellent)! Our waitress talked us into one dessert, a churro tiramisu Mexican style….so good!! This is a beautiful location with an amazing view of the famous Los Arcos and Cabo Bay. It’s similar to Flora Farms in that it is a community tat has been developed by an American developer. A fantastic evening!!

We had a fantastic time, amazing food and service; everything was well presented from start to finish. The only issue was that a group arrived late into our dessert course and starting filming with bright lighting for for their personal business that disrupted the amazing atmosphere. Staff addressed the issue but it was a slight damper on the evening. Staff advised that they would strive to prevent this in the future and offered us a free corkage fee at our next dinner.

About the restaurant

Delight in hacienda-style dining at Don Manuel’s, the signature Los Cabos Mexican restaurant at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. An expression of Executive Chef Gustavo Pinet’s culinary expertise, the eclectic menu changes seasonally to feature only the freshest ingredients sourced locally from Los Cabos, regionally within Mexico, and beyond. Experience the feeling of being in an authentic Mexican kitchen over breakfast at Su Cocina, then return to Don Manuel’s in the evening for cocktails and cooking that’s not to be forgotten.

Cabo San Lucas

About the restaurant

By Renowned Mexican Chef, Enrique Olvera, Manta is the culinary centerpiece of The Cape, A Thompson Hotel. With an intriguing double meaning, the manta ray symbolizes the kitchen"s focus on seafood, while manta, the Spanish word for blanket, conveys the chef's emphasis on comfort. Acknowledge by the New York Times for his "way of confirming and subverting expectations of Mexican food at the same time," Olvera has drawn inspiration from the izakaya tradition to introduce a pan-Pacific concept of Mexican cuisine. The intimate, richly textured space features a dramatic exhibition kitchen and a curated beverage menu focused on mezcals, tequilas and sakes.
