For a business that just recently opened, Outpost has proved to be very promising and full of potential. This modernized restaurant/bar offers delicious tapas-style dishes and amazing hand crafted cocktails. Try it out; you won't regret it! However, if you are on vacation and looking for a more cultural spot --- this is not it. The reason why I say this is because Outpost was the only restaurant we visited in Cabo that is not traditional Mexican cuisine, since I wanted to enhance my out-of-country cultural experience. Outpost is definitely a more Americanized establishment, in my opinion.
In Cabo, excellent customer service is an absolute requirement of every business in hospitality industry, due to high competition especially in a tourist zone. My dining experience here was particularly memorable because the staff was not only so attentive and helpful, but the service definitely surpassed my expectations.
Now onto the food and drinks --- We ordered BBQ sliders, Beef Empanada Gyosas, and Tuna Tostaditas. My favorite are the latter two. The fact that they grow their own ingredients really reflects in the quality and taste of the food. The one concept I particularly enjoyed was the idea to plate their tapas on steel platter (not sure what they are called). My only recommendation to the restaurant is perhaps to plate dishes differently, as there is a diminishing value of appreciation effect on all things. Otherwise, everything is beautifully plated and tastes just as great as it looks.
All my drinks were comped due to special promo going on that evening, but my favorite was the Damiana Kiss. For "craft cocktails," I did feel that the alcohol content was too light. Back home in the States, "craft cocktails" specifically boast complex, handmade ingredients and flavors, usually has a higher content of alcohol and contains complex liqueurs, thus going for about $15+ each drink. I've noticed in Cabo most bars tend to make their drinks light or strictly one shot per cocktail, which I have no problem with. As a cocktail enthusiast myself (and experienced bartender), a proclaimed craft-cocktail bar should meet the expectations of this, even if you have to raise the price or lower the limit of free drinks you are giving out. I don't believe in filling my bladder with so much liquid yet feeling completely sober after. I tapped out at three drinks because I couldn't possibly retain more liquids, but could probably blow a .01% abv if I had a breathalyzer. This is merely my feedback in terms of drinks, and I wish this business all the best. :)
THE SMORES EXPERIENCE WAS AWESOME! The fact that they can make such a simple, classic dessert into such a complex, fancy experience makes me so happy.
Because they just opened, Outpost is offering many promotions to kick start the business. From 20% off yelp check ins, Ladies' Night (three free cocktails PER TAPA you order), and lunch specials. You even get a free dessert for hash tagging your bathroom selfie in the restaurant! Go take advantage of these deals while you can, and gain great experience from it at the same time. read more
