Fodor's Expert Review Alcaravea Gourmet

Alcaravea Gourmet has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a tiny, off-the-beaten-path bistro, and is now considered one of Cabo's top stops for Italian and Mediterranean style cuisine. Enter through a flower-and-vine-garlanded opening into an intimate dining area. Chef Enrique Diaz's menu features salads, fresh pastas, chicken, seafood, and meat dishes. Try the pescado con champiñones (fresh catch of the day with mushrooms, garlic, herbs, lemon, and a touch of Parmesan), the rib-eye steak, or the scalloped beef with prosciutto. The wine list is modest but includes nice selections from México, Italy, Argentina, and the United States. Alcaravea also boasts the best lunch deal in town: soup or salad, entrée with veggies or pasta, plus dessert and drink, all for only $12.
