MigueLocos Grill and Cantina
Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Los Cabos Guide - Restaurant and Dining Review - November 11, 2006 - by Anna Urbanik
A recent addition to the Cabo San Lucas dining and nightlife scene, with an excellent town square location, MigueLocos Grill and Cantina serves up good mesquite grilled steaks, seafood and Mexican specialties.
The long, air-conditioned dining room is a curious mix of the casual and the sophisticated, where remarkable contemporary works of art by an English artist Paul Ygartua share space with a 12-seat bar showing sports on two large flat screen televisions.
Chef Omar Visaiz produces tasty fare that is simple yet well executed, with entrées priced from $14 to $26 U.S. To the sounds of live jazz, we start dinner with spicy chicken wings and fabulous Chimichanga, which deciphers into deep fried flour tortillas filled with meat, cheese and salsa. The coconut shrimp with a tangy mango salsa and ribs in Miguel’s BBQ sauce prove to be equally delicious. There’s also a traditional Mexican Combo including a chile relleno, enchiladas and tacos.
All dinner entrées come with a soup or salad, bread or tortillas, fresh vegetables, and a choice of rice or potatoes. For the sweet grand finale the menu lists chocolate or caramel cheesecake and crusted apple pie, among others, but we were recommended two off-the-menu desserts––chocoflan and pumpkin pie––which we enjoyed to the very last crumbles.
On the lunch menu you will find several of the usual Mexican suspects like fajitas, enchiladas, burritos, tacos and chile relleno, but there’s also a selection of scrumptious sandwiches and salads, affordably priced from $6.50 to $9 U.S. Kids’ menu is also available.
A considerable part of Miguel Locos’ carta is taken up with their liquid offerings, from the 24 creative cocktails, like the popular Medias de Seda (Silk Stockings) with gin, cream and grenadine, to a good selection of wine, tequila and cerveza (beer).
With seating capacity for 80, MigueLocos opens from noon to midnight from Tuesday to Sunday, and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays. Visit on Tuesday for the” Meet Cabo’s Artists Night” with wine and botanas (snacks), or on Monday for football night with peel & eat shrimp appetizers.
In addition to the jazz performances by Night Heat on Fridays and Saturdays, romantic tunes fill this local hangout from Tuesday to Thursday.
On Miguel Hidalgo at Km.0, across from Plaza Amelia Wilkes. For reservations call, (624) 143-7077.
