Edith's

Edith's is the Jiménez-family-run beachfront dining institution at the end of Avenida Solmar. Directly on the Médano beach, Cabo's main downtown beach. And is the village's longest-running luxury Mexican dining room (continuously operated since 1989). The space is a converted Mexican-Pacific palapa-style beachfront pavilion with hand-carved palm-thatched ceilings and seventy-two covers across the indoor dining room and the beachfront terrace.

The cuisine is classic Mexican-Pacific. Signatures include the famous 'caesar salad tableside' that Edith's has prepared in front of the diner since 1989 (the Caesar salad is a Mexican invention, originating at Caesar's Hotel in Tijuana in 1924); a slow-cooked Baja-coast lobster bisque; a Mazatlán-shrimp ceviche with green tomato and Mexican lime; a wood-fired Pacific dentex with rosemary; the famous 'crepas de cajeta'. Mexican-Sonoran goat-milk-caramel crepes flambéed tableside.

The wine list runs to 250 references with a Mexican Valle de Guadalupe core and a tightly chosen American and French section. The cocktail bar runs a serious Mexican-spirits and tequila programme.

The terrace is the experience. Twenty tables along the Médano beachfront, a 270-degree view of the Cabo San Lucas harbour and the Land's End Arch, and a south-facing afternoon-sun aspect. Service is family-run. The Jiménez siblings rotate the floor and the captains have worked the property for years.

Edith's is the team-dinner room in Cabo. The Médano beachfront terrace is the canonical Cabo setting, the family-run institution is the conversation, and the kitchen's mid-tier register is forgiving on a multi-bottle dinner for eight. Book the long beachfront table for a group of six.
