Contemporary Mexican Cuisine with a Latin Soul in San José del Cabo

Nestled in the heart of the historic Old Town Gallery District of San José del Cabo, just steps from the Art Walk, Simaruba is more than a restaurant — it is a celebration of contemporary Mexican cuisine infused with Latin fusion inspiration and the chef’s creative touch.

From the moment guests arrive, they are welcomed into a warm and vibrant atmosphere that reflects the spirit of Baja California Sur. Every detail, from the tropical design to the rhythm of the music, embodies the essence of coastal Mexico — relaxed, expressive, and full of life.

The menu showcases the perfect harmony between land and sea, highlighting the richness of local ingredients. Signature dishes such as Chamorro de cerdo al tamarindo and Sashimi de camarón con ponzu de maracuyá combine authentic Mexican flavors with bright tropical accents. Each plate pays tribute to Baja’s natural bounty — fresh Pacific seafood, local produce, and seasonal inspiration, brought together with elegance and creativity.

To complete the experience, Simaruba offers a curated Margarita Menu, craft cocktails, tequila tastings, and a thoughtful selection of Mexican wines, all designed to enhance the flavors of the cuisine.

Upstairs, our romantic rooftop terrace overlooks the mountains of Baja, offering breathtaking sunset views that create a magical backdrop for dinner. As the evening unfolds, live music brings the space to life — the perfect soundtrack for cocktails, laughter, and our signature churros shared under the twilight sky.

Recognized as the “Best Bar in San José del Cabo” at the Culinary Awards, Simaruba has become a local favorite for its inviting atmosphere, exceptional service, and creative mixology.

Whether you come for an intimate dinner, a lively night with friends, or simply to enjoy the art and ambiance of Old Town, Simaruba invites you to experience fine dining with a Mexican soul, where gastronomy, music, and sunset views meet in perfect harmony.
