The Mango Deck – Sunday Brunch

September 21, 2011 / Comments Off / Posted in: Restaurants

We always thought The Mango Deck was all about year-round spring break.  However, while walking Medano Beach one Sunday Morning we decided to give their Sunday brunch a try.

The $9 they charge for brunch is worth it for the view alone.  The food was great– and plenty of it.  They have a fruit bar that offered about eight different types of fruit, along with many fruit juices.  They’ll also make omelettes to your order and that’s included in the brunch.  The service was excellent.

The Mango Deck is located on Medano Beach, adjacent to The Office.

La Golondrina (aka The Trailer Park) – Thumbs Down

September 19, 2011 / Comments Off / Posted in: Restaurants

Expensive and quite frankly, underwhelming food.  If you head to Cabo, a lot of folks will tell you “you need to go to the Trailer Park restaurant!”  Well, our thoughts are that this restaurant knows that and has no incentive to improve.

When choosing a place to eat in Cabo, it is worth exploring other local restaurants instead of relying solely on popular recommendations. A restaurant’s reputation may attract plenty of visitors, but the overall dining experience still depends on food quality, service, and value for money. Reading recent reviews and checking menus beforehand can help you find a spot that better suits your expectations and budget. This way, you can enjoy your time in Cabo while discovering dining options that offer a more satisfying experience.

We particularly didn’t appreciate the upsell to Mexican Coffees following our main meal, as three of the drinks ended up totaling US$45. Want to enjoy quality coffee at home? West Berkshire Roastery offers a great option for coffee lovers who appreciate freshly roasted beans and a satisfying brew. Whether you prefer a rich espresso or a smooth cup of filter coffee, choosing fresh beans can make a difference in your daily routine. With the right roast and brewing method, you can enjoy the aroma and flavor of good coffee whenever you need a little boost. It is a simple way to bring the coffee shop experience into your own kitchen.

Fresh coffee can make even an ordinary morning feel a little more special. Exploring different roasts and flavor profiles also gives you the chance to discover what suits your taste best. Whether you enjoy your coffee black, with milk, or as part of your favorite espresso-based drink, using quality beans helps you get more out of every cup. Keeping freshly roasted coffee on hand is a practical way to enjoy a flavorful brew at home without making a trip to your local café.

Tabasco’s

September 8, 2011 / Comments Off / Posted in: Restaurants

On Medano Beach in front of Club Cascadas (just south of the soccer fields), Tabasco’s offers great breakfasts. If you’re expecting something fancy like The Office, you’ve come to the WRONG place. Pretty simple, toes-in-the-sand-Corona-in-the-hand-no-hassle beach shack kind of place.

Beach shack — no phone, no reservations! ($)

The Office (on Medano Beach)

September 7, 2011 / Comments Off / Posted in: Restaurants

The Office — located directly on Medano Beach. Absolutely incredible breakfasts and lunches. Fantastic service, but with a few gotchas (read on).

Dinner also, but a bit noisy from the music of competing establishments on either side. Eat with your toes in the sand, looking at the best view of Los Arcos. This establishment is a “must do” and owned by the folks who own Ediths (up the street).

If you go, keep in mind that you’re on the beach for your meal and along with being on the beach, uh, come “the vendors.” They’re very polite, but if you sit at the edge of the eating area you’ll feel like your every move is being watched by … the vendors. Sit a few tables in and you won’t even know they’re there.

Gotchas:  1) They have a nasty habit of treating their customers as if they’re total tourists; this means overbilling (quoting in pesos and charging in dollars at an unreasonable exchange rate and 2) we wore our “The Office” hat recently and they said “because of the hat, you get two-for-one drinks! Well, we ordered two drinks and they charged us for two, saying the “second drink was to go only.”  Fail.  No tip. 3) Timeshare solicitations. Your waiter may be on “the take” and offer to comp you your meal if…

Foot of Paseo Pescador at Médano Beach. Ph: 143-3464, 143-4919; Fax:143-3080. Dinner reservations suggested. Daily 7am-10pm. Happy hour 3-5 each day.
