RAVE - Carousing in Cabo

Lawrence, Beverly, Pavey and I have just spent a wonderful Christmas week in Cabo San Lucas, and I'll now try to summarize the best places we ate.

Nick San - most people agree this is the best restaurant in Cabo. It's a fine Sushi and Fish restaurant with excellent food, fabulous service, and a great atmosphere. It even got a solid thumbs up from Lawrence, who normally sticks to battered fish, with Chips and vinegar.










Pancho's - on the surface this is just one of many traditional Mexican restaurants around the town, but we went here most days for lunch or dinner, or maybe just to hang out at the comfy sidewalk tables for the ladies to sample their mega margheritas, and the boys to sample from Panco's "largest selection of Tequilas in Mexico".







Lorenzillo's - with a great setting right by the marina, this Lobster and Seafood place managed to tempt Laurence and me with it's non-Lobster and Seafood products. Curiously, our handy lobster expert (Pavey) found hers thin and not meaty enough. Despite that, the rest of the menu, the location and the perfect male company proved a winner.




DOC - This is probably a better place for a bottle of wine - we had an excellent Domino Sauvignon Blanc one night - rather than a full Italian dinner - we found it a bit bustly and hot inside for our meal the following night.











Alexander's - This traditional Mexican stood out from the many along the marina, for offering coconut chicken appetizers (we tried them at other places after falling for them at Alexander's), friendly staff (alright, everywhere has friendly staff, but Alexander's are extra special friendly).





Cabo Wabo - Sammy Hagar, the 70s singer and guitarist first became famous with rock band Montrose, then Van Halen, and in the 80s opened this bar, restaurant and night club in Cabo. It's certainly not a destination I'd pick for it's music or food, but it's worth a touristic visit.
