  • June 13, 2021
  • Brad A. Johnson
Mexican cuisine in Los Cabos has for decades been defined by steak and lobster. If not for the accompanying margaritas and periodic mariachi, one might have easily forgotten they were in Mexico. But that's changing. These are the restaurants redefining what it means to eat Mexican food in Los Cabos.

Hotel Review: Nobu, Los Cabos, Mexico

  • June 6, 2021
  • Brad A. Johnson
Nobu Hotel is a vibe, not a place. Opened in 2019 on the sparsely developed Pacific cape of Cabo San Lucas, this 200-room outpost is a sexy mashup of Japanese and Mexican motifs with a soundtrack straight out of Ibiza.

Hotel Review: The Cape, Los Cabos, Mexico

  • May 31, 2021
  • Brad A. Johnson
Thompson Hotels' first foray into Mexico, The Cape Hotel opened several years ago at the southern edge of the tourist corridor that connects Cabo San Lucas on the south with San Jose del Cabo to the north. This is where the Pacific merges with the Sea of Cortés. A bargain for Los Cabos, this is a fun, sexy hotel.

Review: Acre, Farm-to-Table in San Jose del Cabo

Fat drips from a fifty-pound hog, splashing onto the fire. Sparks flicker into the hot Mexican air. The pig has been roasting over the mesquite embers since sunrise. The temperature…

Cancún’s original grande dame changed its banner from The Ritz-Carlton to Kempinski during the pandemic, but little else has changed (except maybe some upgraded furniture in the rooms and a fresh coat of paint). Posh as ever. Lovely beach. Same staff. Same owner, whose classical art collection alone is worth a look if you've never seen it. You would wander the halls for days looking at art at this hotel. Old-money Cancún at its finest. ⁠ 45 3
Serenity. Checked into the new @waldorfastoriacancun on the outskirts of Cancún for a little pampering. It's lovely. A world away from the hectic hotel zone. I felt like I had the entire hotel to myself. ⁠ 69 2
Cochinita pibil with black-bean soup and wood-fired tortillas at @kinichizamal. Tasty detour. ⁠ 61 3
Nobody walks more than a block or two in Espita. Hardly anyone drives. Motorized trishaws are the preferred mode of transport. That last photo is the country road to Espita, which is located about halfway between Merida and Tulum in the Yucatán. ⁠ 54 0
Is this the prettiest avocado toast you've ever seen or what? That tiny spoonful of chile oil on the right side is more than enough. A perfect breakfast by @chef.jorgeildefonso and chef @_josehauvidal at @casonadeloscedros_restaurante in Espita, Yucatán. ⁠ 45 0
In the middle of seemingly nowhere in the Yucatán jungle you'll find the small, traditional pueblo of Espita, and that's where you'll find @casonadeloscedros_restaurante, an incredible little restaurant by @chef.jorgeildefonso (with chef @_josehauvidal on the pass), tucked inside an amazingly charming inn. This is essentially the only restaurant in town, and it is the very reason to make the journey. ⁠ 116 5
