Metate Cabo: Where Mexican Tradition Takes Center Stage

A tribute to the molcajete and the taste of home

In the El Tezal area, just minutes from the heart of Cabo San Lucas, you will find Metate Cabo, a restaurant that honors the roots of Mexican cuisine. Its name alludes to two ancestral tools —the metate and the molcajete— that here not only decorate but are used to prepare some of the most representative flavors on the menu. The cuisine is simple in concept but rich in techniques and ingredients, with recipes passed down from generation to generation.

An inviting atmosphere to stay

Metate is surrounded by trees, hanging lights, and handcrafted decor that creates a very warm atmosphere. The space features an outdoor terrace with a capacity for 40 people, ideal for enjoying the climate of Los Cabos. The ambiance is relaxed and informal, perfect for both going with friends and for a quiet evening with a partner.

Reasons Not to Miss Metate Cabo

A restaurant with Michelin recognition

Metate has been awarded the Bib Gourmand distinction by the Michelin Guide 2024-2025. This recognition is given to restaurants that offer excellent food at affordable prices. What's interesting is that, despite the high-level gastronomic focus, the place maintains a relaxed and unpretentious style.

An authentic proposal with identity

The cuisine at Metate has a very particular stamp. It is not an extensive menu, but each dish has its personality. Here you can find everything from Baja-style tacos to seafood served in a molcajete, along with options cooked over mesquite with unique presentations. The authenticity of the flavors is what usually hooks first-time visitors and what makes many return.

More than food: complete experiences

Metate goes beyond gastronomy. Among its activities are tequila and mezcal tastings with pairings, special nights like Ladies Night with 2-for-1 promotions, and even black-and-white cinema projected from the bar. These experiences make each visit different, offering plans that can be enjoyed in groups, as a couple, or even alone.
