    Heard great things about this restaurant and it did not disappoint! It is an immersive experience and the food matches the experience. We were lucky to enjoy the bar and the first 2 dish there, and then moved out to the outside dining area (our chose) to finish the dinner. Each food items was very well presented and had something special about it. Overall the menu was great and there were about two items that were just amazing. The food here is awesome and hats off for the chef. The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant yet fun. The outside dinner table are near the Koi pond which is filled with beautiful koi fishes. At the same time, they had live music which was with a harp, another elegant feature of this restaurant. She was amazing and the view of the beach and ocean was just another outstanding experience. The servers here are very friendly and great at what they do. They add to the great atmosphere and experience. The servers are top tier in my book. I would highly recommend trying this place out, especially if you are staying at the resort which the restaurant resides in.

    Signature restaurant at the Grand Velas Los Cabos. Usually 8-9 courses with dynamic and well thought out courses. Approximately an hour in a half service to two hours. Got to utilize the free child service at the resort. They provide children with dinner. Obviously not as good as what we had. Food was delicious but the service at each of the dinner restaurant are exceptional. The service brought the dinner to a whole new level.

    Innovative cuisine in an elegant yet contemporary setting--this restaurant is a culinary adventure. First, we were greeted with a lively signature cocktail and a few small appetizers in the lounge. Next, we were ushered into the beautifully appointed dining room. We opted for the premium wine pairing to accompany our tasting menu and were not disappointed. With so many interesting courses, it was wonderful to know that the wine was always a thoughtfully chosen complement to each dish. Service was superb and each course was a feat of appetizing artistry.

    Filet of beef with onion

    Spectacular dining experience. Each dish was beautiful and had flavors that were unique and amazing. The service was stellar and the beautiful setting on the koi pond with live music made the whole experience incredible. The chef came to talk near the end of the meal and we couldn't have been more impressed. A top 10 lifetime dinner for me.

They even offered us some complimentary chips and a variety of fresh and tasty salsas. The cactus tacos and guacamole was also nice. They had nice decor and wall artwork that added to the charm. Would recommend stopping by for a taco or two if you're in the area.

    Wow! What a great experience we had at La Lupita Taco and Mezcal…read more This is a taco place. Don't expect any else on the menu except soup & salad and a couple of apps & sides. There is an indoor area or outside courtyard you can choose from. We had the pleasure of working with several Staff members including our main waiter, Marco as well as Ivan and Miriam. They were all so fun and attentive. They brought us a small serving of soup as an appetizer. My husband had a taste of the tortilla broth which had a little kick to it and I had the bean soup. Both were a nice sampling of the soup they offered. We ordered the chips & huac to start. The chips were thick and crispy. The guacamole tasted super fresh and bright. Now, the tacos are some of the best tacos we've ever eaten in MX or the US. The creativity and variety of toppings were outstanding. I really enjoyed the EL TAKESHI 190MX Rib Eye, Sesame, Hoisin, Ginger, Chives, Crispy Shallots, Flour tortilla. The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavor they developed was delicious. I also ordered the MEXICAN FLANK STEAK $150MX. Fresh Chiapas Cheese , Arugula, Crispy Leek & Potato, Macha Sauce, Yellow Corn tortillas. All these flavors worked so well together. One of the tastiest tacos they have on the menu is a cheese based tortilla taco called CHEESE CRUST PASTOR $100MX. Talk about a flavor bomb. Marinated Pork, Asadero Cheese Crust, Cilantro, Onion, Pineapple. My husband also ordered the CHIPOTLE SHRIMP $165MX. Shrimp, Chipotle Cream, fried parsley, flour tortilla. He loved it. For my Arizona friends, they will be opening a Scottsdale location in 2027. I can wait. Add this to your must try restaurants. Also, they just opened a location in Dallas Texas.

He took our order but never returned to check on us. Thankfully, the other servers were attentive and made sure we were taken care of. Unfortunately, I did not care for the Pata de Mula. The texture was strange, and it had a funky smell, which made me a little concerned about getting sick afterward. The red snapper, however, was excellent. Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and moist inside. The seafood soup was another highlight, with generous portions of real crab, octopus, fish, and shrimp. Lots of seafood in every bite! Overall, there were definitely some hits and misses. The snapper and seafood soup were delicious, but the Pata de Mula and service from our waiter were disappointing.

The room sits inside the restaurant's own wine collection with a wall of Clase Azul behind it. One table, one door, nobody else. We brought a few bottles worth opening: a magnum of Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème Édition, Krug Rosé 29ème Édition, and a magnum of 2012 Paul Hobbs Dr. Crane Cabernet. Chef Martin and head sommelier Ulises built the menu around them in five waves. Ulises ran the pours himself, dialing cellar temperature and decant timing so each bottle hit its window right as the food landed, and swapping stemware more than once to get there. The Rosé opened against a beetroot clamato, the epicure bite. It did not last long. We carried what was left into the second wave to run it beside the Grande Cuvée, then it was gone. The magnum took over from there and never left the table. Its real work was that second wave: oysters in xcatic chili sauce with annatto oil, trout roe, and fried julienned potatoes, then hamachi tiradito in leche de tigre with chileatole, cilantro, roasted corn, and burnt habanero oil. Call that one a deconstructed tostada. The third wave arrived all at once and covered the table. New York wagyu with plantain purée and roasted onions. Snapper done zarandeado style with avocado kimchi and chicatana ant mayonnaise, flour tortillas alongside. Organic roasted chicken with its own jus, sikil pak, and beans cooked with avocado leaf. Glazed pork belly under a chicatana ant mole with red curry and cucumber salad. And a bean tamale steamed in a corn husk with veracruzan mole, which Martin told us is his own favorite thing on the menu. He is right about that. I almost forgot to write it down and it was one of the best bites of the night. This is where the Dr. Crane came in, aimed at the wagyu. Running Crane against Grande Cuvée across that whole third wave was the most fun stretch of the meal. Two wines with nothing in common, five dishes, and no obvious right answer. Then the house mole came out by itself, 42 ingredients, served with spoons and nothing else. Martin walked into the cellar to tell us how it is made and stayed to watch us taste it against the Grande Cuvée. A mole that deep against Champagne acidity and brioche should not work. Best pairing I have had in years. Chocolate cake closed it out, off the menu, made for the occasion. The floor kept pace with the kitchen. Elliott ran the room with charm and timing that never slipped once. Jorge cleared, reset, and read what we needed before anyone said it. Alejandro, who heads F&B, made the whole evening feel personal instead of staged. If you take wine seriously and want the service to match it, book the cellar. Thank you to Martin, Ulises, Elliott, Jorge, and Alejandro.

Not only was the food excellent, but our server, Sergio, gave us a mini masterclass on tequila, mezcal, and yes--even Jose Cuervo. It made the whole experience that much richer. We started with two cocktails: La Rubarosa and La Damiana. The Rubarosa was surprisingly smooth and light - one of those drinks you don't expect to enjoy as much as you do. For starters, we ordered the bluefin tostada and the roasted beet salad. The corn tortilla on the tostada was honestly the tastiest I've ever had. Perfect texture, perfect flavor. For our mains, we chose the bean tamale and the seafood rice. The tamale came with an exceptional mole - truly the star of the plate. The tamale itself was fine, but the mole absolutely stole the show. Did you know that true mole has over 40 ingredients? The seafood rice was flavorful, masterfully prepared, and a generous portion. For dessert, we ordered the horchata ice cream, which was lovely. But the real surprise was the tres leches cake they brought out for my birthday. I was already stuffed, but I still managed to eat half and took the rest back to the room. Would we return? Absolutely - especially if we're back in the area. And if we had to pick just one restaurant at Solaz, this would be our top choice.

You expect the familiar flavor of traditional hummus... and then BOOM. The complexity of flavors hits you like a ton of delicious bricks. It completely changes your expectations of what hummus can be. Next came the Burrata Macha. Imagine a classic Italian burrata reimagined with a Mexican soul. The spicy red macha oil elevated it to an entirely different level. Every bite revealed new flavors that were almost impossible to define, making each one a wonderful surprise. For the main course, I ordered the Mexican interpretation of Bucatini al Nero. As someone who loves the Italian original, I was amazed. It kept the spirit of the dish while adding a Mexican twist that somehow made it even better. It wasn't simply Italian or Mexican cuisine--it became something entirely its own. My wife chose the Triangoli de Humita. The name might sound unusual, but so was the dish--in the best possible way. It was far more than a corn ravioli. The incredible depth of flavor, paired with a rich, dark mushroom sauce, made it one of the standout dishes of the evening. Dessert was the Merengue de Salvia, although calling it a meringue doesn't really do it justice. It somehow managed to be spicy, savory, sweet, and tangy all at the same time. It was unlike anything we've ever had and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. A special thank you to Rolando, our waiter, who explained every dish with passion and attention to detail. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the entire experience even more memorable. Sage isn't just a restaurant. It's a culinary adventure that constantly surprises you and challenges what you think food can be. If you're in Cabo, don't miss it.
