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.
