The story

La Palapa: Authentic Mexican Dining on the Beach in Cabo San Lucas

Beachside authenticity

La Palapa is casual outdoor dining at its finest. Set beachside at Esperanza Resort in Cabo San Lucas, this open-air restaurant serves authentic Mexican dishes under swaying palms. The mood is beachy casual, and the kitchen is an open-air exhibition where you can watch ceviches and tacos being prepared.

The cuisine

The menu celebrates Mexican flavors with vibrant ceviches, crisp tacos, and other regional dishes. Every plate is made to order, drawing on fresh local ingredients. The restaurant’s commitment to quality extends to its drinks: the swim-up bar is a favorite for margaritas, and the wine list earned La Palapa a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2018—a testament to its thoughtful curation.
