"No menu, no rules" is the way chef Casiano Reyes describes the spontaneous cuisine at this gem in a tranquil location above Alegranza luxury condominiums. If you're open-minded, you'll relish this creative spot where a changing palette of local ingredients appears on a free-form menu. Once you're seated in the bi-level, indoor-outdoor space, you'll be presented with a little tablet in a bowl that impressively morphs into a hand towel once your waiter adds water. Your server will offer a list of the day's ingredients, which can include anything from goat cheese, heirloom tomatoes, and lobster, to scallops, fillet of beef, and foie gras. Advise the kitchen of your preferences, and the talented, Oaxacan-born Reyes will whip up a three-to-five course tasting menu. Standouts include the seasonal Mexican specialty chiles en nogada, New York steak with sweet corn puree, jumbo shrimp with mushroom sauce, and sea bass with lentils. Wine pairings are pricier, but worth it, especially since the number of courses usually doubles by the end of the meal, thanks to the generous and talented chef.

Atop a bluff in the Capella Pedregal hotel, El Farallon provides one of the most breathtaking vantage points from which to have a meal in Cabo San Lucas. Chef Yvan Mucharraz presents a seafood-heavy menu with a "fresh fish market" displaying the catch of the day. Customize your dish from an array of fish and meats—from yellowtail, parrot fish, spiny lobster, rib-eye steak, and sea bass to the irresistible local chocolate clams. All dishes come with a tasting of the day's three appetizers, which can include anything from tuna ceviche to crab-and-chipotle soup, as well as two sides that range from asparagus to grilled corn to cilantro-infused rice. Fish and meats are simply prepared on a flat grill with fine herbs and a drop of butter. They're so well executed that you may forego the accompanying sauces. It's challenging, but save room for desserts like Mexican doughnuts, then digest over an after-dinner drink while you ogle the view.

Even if you don't stay at the sumptuous Posada La Poza just outside town, lunch or dinner at its equally lovely restaurant will be one of the highlights of your Los Cabos vacation. Owners Jürg and Libusche Wiesendanger call their offerings "Swiss-Mex"—Mexican food with European touches, and careful attention to detail. Start with the vegetarian-based tortilla soup with three different types of dried chilies to give it just enough kick. Then sample the smoked-tuna flautas with raspberry-chipotle sauce, quesadillas with mushroom or shrimp, or marinated arrachera (flank steak) strips. You'll find dishes such as lamb shoulder in winter. Believe it or not, there is enough of an evening chill in the air that time of year that dining next to the fireplace feels cozy. Top your meal off with a sorbet, flan, or mousse, and possibly the best selection of wines in the region (all Mexican from northern Baja's Guadalupe Valley). Dinner is served from 6 to 8, which gives you time to catch the sunset. Reservations are recommended.

From its chateaubriand bouquetière (garnished with a bouquet of vegetables) to the savory chicken chipotle cooked with brandy, port wine, and cream, this French restaurant has been family owned since 1947. It's considered one of the top restaurants in Mexico and has won the Five Diamond Award every year since 2004. Louis XIV–style furnishings and an attentive staff make it both comfortable and elegant. Impressive preparations of Caesar salad, crêpes Suzette, and café flambé create a show at your table. The sidewalk tables are a perfect place to dine and people-watch. The small café in the front sells pastries that are made on the premises.

Due to the talent and creativity of chefs Uziel Leaño and Luis González, El Tupé has become one of the darlings of the La Paz dining scene. They dish up exquisitely prepared and presented regional favorites in unexpected ways: Serving vessels often include abalone and chocolate clam shells, or cross-sections of indigenous trees. They conceived of El Tupé during backpacking trips. The two Sudcalifornianos were so impressed with some of the traditional dishes they found in their native state's less traveled areas, they decided to open a restaurant to showcase the region's unique flavors and signature culinary style. Six- and twelve-course menus change daily to take advantage of the freshest local, organic ingredients. Seatings for both are at 6 pm daily and include excellent pairing options from Baja's wine country, Valle de Guadalupe.

Gloria and Patrick Greene's Flora's Field Kitchen is an alfresco dining experience that exemplifies farm to table. Flora's is built right in the center of the self-sustaining "Flora Farm." It's a charming oasis featuring a restaurant, gift shop, cooking school, organic market, and culinary cottages (private homes), all under the Flora Farm brand. Meals are homemade including produce and meat (chicken and pork) grown on the property and bread baked on-site. Wholly organic meals are served family style at communal tables, and the generous portions include favorites like fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, massive pork chops fired in the wood-burning oven, beet carpaccio laced with fromage blanc, raddish ravioli, and a selection of pizzas and seasonal salads. Even the sausages served with sweet potato chips are homemade. The adjacent Farm Bar serves unique takes on classic cocktails delivered in mason jars, like the Farm Julep (watermelon juice with basil, mint, and rum). Flora's is a wonderful learning experience for family by day and a romantic spot for couples by night. There's live music nightly at 6:30 and cooking classes Tuesday and Friday from 10:30 to 1:30 pm (cost $50 includes lunch).

This food-cart stall off of Ensenada's bustling Calle Primera is the place where locals get a solid helping of the region's seafood. Established in 1960, La Guerrerense has been featured on international shows like Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation. Crowds line up at all hours and ogle a small army of cooks cracking open clams, shucking oysters, and piling the freshest fish onto tostadas and into oversize clam shells. After you choose from the day's catch—shrimp, uni, clams, lobster, octopus—stand back and wait while your dish is prepared. Once it's ready, make your way through the throng of hungry patrons, and dress your plate from the selection of bottled salsas and condiments on display, which are also for sale. Most-loved is the salsa made with toasted peanuts, oil, garlic, and fresh chilies. Owned by Sabina and Luis Eduardo Oviedo, the spot is a mainstay on the Ensenada food scene, and not to be missed.

One sign that the Valle de Guadalupe has its sights on Napa is this extraordinary restaurant set inside a cozy little house. Celebrity chef Jair Téllez's ambitious prix-fixe menus (there are four-course and seven-course versions) change frequently, but may include cucumber gazpacho, yellowtail tartare, and Swiss chard ravioli with ranch egg and beef juice, all served with excellent regional wines. After the main entrée, cleanse your palate with refreshing orange-carrot-mint sorbet and then sink your teeth into one of their savory desserts like mandarin ice cream with white chocolate and pineapple coulis. Don't be surprised if a bonus course suddenly appears at some point throughout your meal. If you aren't satisfied with the portions, simply ask for more at no extra charge. Polished woods and windows overlooking the valley make the dining room and outdoor plaza as sleek as the menu. A meal here is well worth the drive.

In a relaxing garden filled with retro-styled decor, waiters in mesh trucker hats and pearl button shirts deliver remarkable urban Mexican cuisine, spiced up by a dash of grandma’s secret recipes. Under the shade of a mango tree, start with the trio of salsas infused with orange and chipotle, served with a basket of freshly fried tortilla chips. Local breakfast favorites are the French toast and Costa Azul (baked eggs with a Dijon cream sauce). You may find yourself debating if you should go straight to the lunch menu, featuring the pork shoulder sandwich, jicama mango salad with grapefruit cream dressing, and a cheese-and-vegetable stuffed pablano sandwich. All pastries are crafted in-house, including the chocolate coconut brownies and sinfully divine churros, served with sweet milk.

A romantic courtyard shaded by fruit trees, classic rancheras (Mexican folk music), and traditional preparations of regional Mexican specialty dishes are the hallmarks at Los Tres Gallos. Discover their delicious heritage dishes such as cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork) and cecina de Yecapixtla (a specially prepared beef). The downtown eatery's name pays tribute to three of the greatest stars of Mexico's golden age of cinema. Photographs of Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante, and Javier Solís—collectively referred to as "the three roosters"—line the walls of one of the rear dining areas, and their music often plays softly in the background, adding to the restaurant's old-fashioned charm. For dessert, try the flan or the pastel de tres leches con tequila.

With sprawling views of vineyards, this restaurant is surrounded by acres of farmland where Chef Roberto Alcocer gathers ingredients for nearly 100% of what is served, making this the most sustainable restaurant in the region and a true “table to farm” experience. Beer, wine, vegetables, fruit, cheese, bread, meat, eggs, honey—nearly everything he serves is from the onsite farm. Setting the scene are wooden tables adorned with rosemary filled mason jars and paper menus showcasing the daily harvest. Each plate is a work of art, including the tender lamb with a black bean crust and broth that is poured at your table. Fresh fish is adorned with edible flowers, like the catch of the day with tomato rosemary salsa on a bed of beets with a tangy lemon sauce. Tastings are available in four, seven, and 10 courses, and prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food. The homemade horchata ice cream and the crème brûlée are not overly sweet, allowing you to taste the flavors rather than just the sugar.

The first Latin American restaurant opened by three-star Michelin chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten resides in the One&Only Palmilla. It's one of the priciest spots in Los Cabos, but it's also one of the best. Described as Eurasian with Mexican influences, the elegant yet comfortable restaurant is accented with deep red and rich burgundy details, and original artwork. Appetizers like caramelized foie gras or caviar atop a lemon gelatin will make you swoon. Entrées include thoughtful presentations of almond-crusted duck, sautéed grouper with sweet chili, and corn ravioli with cherry tomatoes and basil fondue. For a sweet finish, try the corn soufflé with chipotle ice cream. You can bring your bill down slightly by opting for a fine Baja wine from the extensive wine list rather than a European one. Feeling more casual? Adjacent to Market, also overseen by Jean-Georges, is Suviche Bar, which offers fresh sushi and Mexican ceviches incorporating both local and Asian flavors, and chic cocktails.

Deliciously prepared chiles rellenos are the attraction at Miguel's. The sign out front says so, and so does a faded New York Times article, which proclaims them the best in all of Baja. If you're skeptical, owner Miguel Torres will be happy to show you a framed copy of the story. The hearty peppers come in cheese, shrimp, vegetarian, and other options, but the signature version is made with shrimp and scallops. Breakfast is served during the high-season months—October through May—and features egg dishes and breakfast burritos. Don't confuse this semi-outdoor place on the edge of town with Michael's, the Asian restaurant several blocks away near the church.

Dare we make such a claim: Nick-San may very well be Cabo San Lucas's top restaurant. Owner Angel Carbajal is an artist behind the sushi counter (he also has his own fishing boats that collect fish each day), and his creative fusion menu of Japanese and Mexican cuisines truly sets his masterpieces apart. The sauce on the cilantro sashimi is so divine that some say diners sneak in bread to sop up the sauce (rice isn't the same), while all of the tuna specialties—from seared sashimi with sesame seeds to tuna tostadas—are exquisite. Beware; you can run up a stiff tab ordering sushi here, though it's worth the splurge. The mahogany bar and minimalist dining room are packed most nights, but the vibe is upbeat. If you're staying in the Corridor, you're in luck; there's also a second Nick-San in Las Tiendas de Palmilla shopping center. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekend nights and during high season. Otherwise, be prepared for a wait.

This elegant restaurant, with its white linens and soft candlelight, is the best steak house in Baja California. Aged for 21 days, the black Angus is juicy, flavorful, and tender, cooked beautifully rare (or done) and can be served with spinach, lentils rigatoni, or Potatoes au Gratin. Awaken your appetite with tuna ceviche bathed in olive oil or mussels in white wine and butter sauce. For something from the earth, try the spinach salad with green apple, fig, almonds, and local goat cheese. They also serve pastas, grilled quail, and a lovely chicken in a plum sauce. Service is impeccable and the wine list extensive. For a less formal setting, grab a table on the outdoor patio.

It's quite soothing to sit in this restaurant at Cabo Surf Hotel, at the ocean's edge under the shade of a palapa while watching the surfers. For breakfast munch on their machaca con huevos (eggs scrambled with shredded beef) washed down with a fresh-fruit smoothie. Later in the day, grab some fish tacos, or a Mediterranean tuna wrap with a blueberry mojito. Burgers are piled high with jalapeños and caramelized onions. For something light, try the crab cakes on a bed of tomato chutney with arugula. Drop in to watch the sunset and dine on fresh fish with a flavorful mango sauce. With a focus on healthy cuisine, the kitchen uses all local organic ingredients, cooks with olive oil (instead of butter), uses soybean oil for deep-frying, and will not serve marlin, mahimahi, or parrot fish due to commercial overfishing. Your entertainment is simple: a wonderful view that never stops changing.

Enter through a flower and vine garlanded opening into an intimate dining area and the pleasures of Chef Enrique Diaz's menu, which features salads, fresh pastas, chicken, seafood like pescado con champiñones—fresh catch of the day with mushrooms, garlic, herbs, lemon and a touch of parmesan—and meats dishes such as rib-eye steak and scalloped beef with prosciutto. The wine list is modest, but includes nice selections from Mexico, Italy, Argentina, and the U.S.

Ideally located along Cabo San Lucas's busy marina walkway, Alexander's is where Switzerland meets Mexico. Pull up a chair at one of the sidewalk tables and start with a meat-and-cheese fondue, a treat for which Swiss chef and owner Alex Brulhart is known.

This former olive oil refinery is reminiscent of a Manhattan loft with its high ceilings, concrete floors, white brick walls, and chalkboard bar surrounding the open kitchen. It’s here where Chef Alejandro Alvarez prepares a Mexican-Spanish fusion utilizing organic ingredients from his on-site garden. Having trained under Basque Chef Martín Berasategui, Alejandro gives a Spanish flair to his menu with hints of Manchego cheese and papas bravas. Start your experience with the refreshing roasted beet salad with watermelon salmorejo (tomato puree), followed by the Bluefin tuna tartar with mango and quinoa. If there’s one place to try lamb in Valle de Guadalupe, it’s here. Far from gamey, the sheep are given a diet of olive branches, making this New York cut beyond flavorful and tender. Try pairing it with their homemade brew, a rich imperial brown. The outdoor terrace overlooking the vineyard makes an idyllic backdrop to the savory dessert—wine cooked pears bathed in a Belgium chocolate green tea soup.
