El Chilar Article - Los Cabos Magazine Issue #19 - Top Tables
El Chilar is a hidden treasure in San Jose Del Cabo. The restaurant’s mission is to share the kindness and happiness of the Mexican culture with all their guests. The colorful décor, fun murals and ambient lighting add to the inviting atmosphere. El Chilar, meaning chile bush, makes chiles the main focal point of the restaurant.
The majority of the Chef’s dishes are enhanced with the flavorful taste of their fresh chilies - even some of the desserts! The menu is traditional Mexican cuisine with a contemporary touch.
Although the menu changes every month, the signature Oaxacan Tlayuda dish will always remain. The Tlayuda is prepared with your choice of chicken, flank steak, or vegetarian and served on a hand-made crispy corn tortilla with refried beans, cabbage, cheese and their special salsa. Another irresistible dish, the Chicken Supreme, is a select chicken breast prepared with onion marmalade and tamarind juice and served in a roasted red pepper and pasilla chili wheat stew.
The Organic salad with aged cotija cheese, black beans, and hibiscus flower tossed in chipotle chile vinaigrette makes for a great start to any meal. El Chilar opens their wine & tequila bar next door during the high season, where patrons can also dine. The bar features over 72 tequila labels and a selection of 200 wines from around the world.
