Sardina Cantina

If you find yourself spending any time in San José del Cabo, Mexico now, you owe it to yourself to take a little stop at this gem of a mini-plaza on Hwy. 1 at KM 29.5 (for the metrically challenged, KM=kilometer). Open 7 days a week, 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, and be prepared for the wow factor from your cuisine! You won’t be disappointed with any of the offerings at this extra casual, fine dining establishment. Exemplary service provided by our experienced staff guarantees your wanting to return to enjoy the ambience, fine fare, time and again. With an emphasis on Seafood, from the Shrimp Benedicts to the fresh Fish or Scallop Panko-style tacos at lunch to the happy hour or dinner appetizer of “to-die-for” steamed mussels and clams.

Yet fear not, red meat lovers, the Canadian bacon is real, American style hash browns also dot the breakfast menu as well as lunchtime shrimp tacos, salads, prawn cocktails or a ½ lb. of a freshly ground, hand-packed premium beef “Lupe Burger” that standardly includes high end condiments with a choice of either French Fries or an already local favorite, a perfectly prepped garden salad. Dinners echo the seafood theme while also offering outstanding pastas, steak filets and appetizing snacks.

Close to the ocean, stroll from your seaside accommodation and enter a brick-lined patio with the ambiance of an English garden right off Federal Hwy. #1 One of our satisfied customers touts that we’re a place where one can bring someone with those “chateau Briand tastes and beer glass pocket books.”

A one stop shopping experience, the flanking businesses of the Trader Dick mini-supermarket and Baja Properties Real Estate may take care of your daily needs within Los Cabos in one parking endeavor.

In our second trip to Cabo in 5 years, we eagerly anticipated visiting Sardina Cantina and its wonderful food. Finding out that it was a different owner originally gave us pause. We had no reason to worry. The food is just as good (if not better) than before. From breakfast omlettes and benedicts, to lunch and happy hour favorites, to local interpretations to fantastic seafood dinners, this restaurant is easily our favorite. The prices are very reasonable, the food is great, and the drinks are real. The owner and staff are extremely friendly. Next trip to Cabo, 1st stop will again be Sardina Cantina. -
