Hacienda Cocina y Cantina - Dining review from Los Cabos Magzine #24, January 2011
The menu offers unique selections that satisfy hard-to-please younglings, those unaccustomed to Mexican food, and picky aficionados of the cuisine. Start off with the Guerrero-style seafood pozole ($8 U.S.), the incredible chorizo con papa sope ($8 U.S.), or any of the number of salads and appetizers. For your main course, the three cheese–stuffed chiles rellenos entrée can only be described as magical and comes served with black bean sauce and mango pico de gallo ($12 U.S.). The family-style sea bass with garlic-chile sauce ($21 U.S) and Oaxacan beef medallions with ancho chile and peanut mole ($21 U.S.) are both excellent. The Fideo Seco, Mexican pasta with fresh cheese, cream, and avocado, is unique and tasty ($12 U.S.). The restaurant also features family-style platters of arrachera (skirt steak, $22 U.S.), carnitas (roasted pork, $19 U.S.), and pescado a la talla (adobo-marinated snapper, $22 U.S.). All are deliciously prepared. Save room for the best churros this reviewer has ever encountered: crispy and warm from the oven with caramel and chocolate dipping sauces and worth every calorie. The lunch menu offers a variety of soups, salads, and tortas; the chef recommends the torta de chorizo con queso fundido (sausage with melted cheese sandwich, $8 U.S.).
