Explore the Flavors of Cabo at this Prime Mexico Resort Destination
Endless sunshine, pool dips and margaritas can only mean one thing—we’re going to Cabo! Situated between the towns of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, Hilton Los Cabos offers a family-friendly getaway in one of the most exciting destinations in Mexico. Settled on a cove-protected beach, the hacienda-inspired rooms and stunning ocean views will leave you dreaming about this resort long after your flight home.
While you know you’ll be indulging in tacos and guac on any trip south, Hilton Los Cabos has nine dining concepts across the property—each with its own unique flair and flavors. It’s safe to say, you won’t go hungry here! Plus, with their special Flavors of Cabo package, guests can get a nightly rate that seamlessly includes meals, snacks, drinks and self-parking for stays of three nights or more. Hilton Los Cabos is truly a foodie’s paradise for all palates—let’s dig into what this Cabo resort has to offer.
Vela
Kick things off at Hilton Los Cabos with an exquisite dinner at Vela. Start by sipping on the Sea Foam—made with house-made limoncello, vodka, lychee, lime, fresh lavender and grated nutmeg before diving into your favorite dishes. Soft candlelight flickers among hand-blown glass fixtures and mural art, which set the scene for a romantic, tropical dinner in paradise. Vela features Mediterranean cuisine with a variety of international recipes, such as homemade shrimp ravioli, slow-cooked short rib and yellowfin tuna tartar. There are also vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options to accommodate all diners.
Leña
Come to Leña for grilled meats and fish in a beautiful alfresco setting. Start with the raw bar, and don’t miss out on the homemade empanadas. Local charcoal and hardwood is used to cook a variety of meats, seafood and veggies at this casual-yet-chic restaurant in Cabo. Latin-inspired cocktails, regional wines and a wide selection of spirits round out this dining experience. We recommend easing into dinner with a Leña Boulevardier, made with Mexican whisky, Nixta Corn Liquor, Campari, red vermouth and Oaxacan mole bitters. If you happen to be here on a Thursday, don’t miss out on Havana Night, which features roasted Cuban pork belly and lots of mojo.
Enclave Beach Club
The new Enclave Beach Club at Hilton Los Cabos is the place to be—whether day or night. Take a dip at one of Cabo’s only cove-protected beaches before relaxing with a drink in hand at the waterfront bar. Snack on tapas as you lounge the day away on this pristine white-sand beach. On vacation with the whole family? Consider a private beach bonfire at night where everyone can enjoy s’mores—not to mention the optional spiked hot chocolate and smoky cocktails for the adults.
Talavera
If you are seeking an elevated approach to traditional Mexican cuisine, then make time for Talavera. Dishes are prepared from each of the seven regions of Mexico in an open-kitchen setting. With stunning views of the pool and the sea, this rustic-chic atmosphere is one you’ll want to return to during your stay. Start a slow morning with breakfast here and come back for a multi-course dinner. Don’t miss out on trying their famous seafood molcajete, which is flambéed tableside. Wines from Baja California, hand-shaken cocktails and more than 100 different agave spirits keep this party going. It’s no surprise that Taco Tuesday is a thing at Talavera—select from six types of tacos or try them all at this weekly tradition.
Sotol
If you’d prefer to drink your calories during your Cabo vacation, head straight to Sotol. Over 200 tequilas, mezcals, and other agave spirits await you at this premium bar. Globally-inspired antojitos like Mexican alitas and Thai fried chicken wings are available to pair with your drinks. Take in the spirit and soul of Mexico and consider signing up for an agave master class!
Mio
There are few things better than eating sushi while lounging poolside. Head to the Sunrise Infinity Pool at Hilton Los Cabos for fresh ceviche and hand-crafted rolls paired with a sparkling view of the Sea of Cortez. Swim up for a refreshing margarita, spritz or mocktail. Open for lunch and beverage service, the chic ambiance of Mio is the perfect place for a bite overlooking the azure-blue ocean. Tables are also available in the open-air dining room.
Los Arcos Roasting Co.
Start your morning at Los Arcos Roasting Co. with Mexican roasted coffee, grab-and-go sandwich or panini, or something sweet like a cookie or chocolate truffle. Los Arcos is a favorite for visitors who seek a specialty pick-me-up throughout each day.
Dulce
This casual eatery is the perfect place for a quick bite to eat, a scoop of gelato or a cup of coffee. Add this Cabo cafe to the list of why we love this family-friendly resort in Cabo! Open from morning to night, swing by throughout the day to curb a craving and satisfy a sweet tooth. You can also browse through a curated selection of beach gear and souvenirs while you lounge here.
La Biblioteca
We saved the best for last: La Biblioteca, the newest and exclusive tasting room at Hilton Los Cabos (celebrating its first anniversary this month!). Here, guests can indulge in an intimate agave spirits tasting or opt for a private, 5-course dinner. An expert in agave spirits and wine will guide you through a lavish evening of Mexico’s regional foods and beverages. La Biblioteca offers a flavorful journey through Mexico, making it a must-try for those seeking a memorable dining experience. La Biblioteca is open nightly and can accommodate up to 12 guests in the same party.
