Puerta Vieja — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

One of the worst dine in service experiences I have ever had. The restaurant had no record of our reservation even though there were numerous confirmations/reminders of it prior. The restaurant was willing to still accommodate, which was a plus. Some people in the party ordered full meals as others ordered multiple appetizers for their meal as that was appealing for them plus multiple drinks. The second we ordered our waiter, Omar never came back and avoided our table even though he had to walk past our table to go to any of the others. We had a younger male deliver complementary salsa, our meals, drinks and anything else. Omar never came back to our table to check on us. We had to ask multiple times for a our bill at then end. We had to pick our tip amount right in front of the waiter as he was holding the credit card swipe machine, which was very uncomfortable. I wish our tip could have gone to the young boy who provided most of our service. To top off the horrible service, Omar looked me completely up and down as I was leaving the table. We will never be back and I will tell others as well. Never have I been discriminated against for what was...

I've been staying at my home away from home for years down the road from this unique restaurant and boutique hotel but never noticed it because it looks like a big house.

I enjoyed a beautiful sunset over Cabo San Lucas while experiencing excellent table service and dinner starting with amaretto cocktail, grilled asparagus & portobello with goat cream, tortilla soup, roasted beet salad, fresh clam chowder in sourdough bread bowl, Octopus Spanish style, followed by the featured choice on the menu called 'Puerta Vieja' with Lamb, Jumbo Shrimp, Lobster, Mashed Potato, Rice Pilaf, Green Beans, Melted Butter and Mint Jelly. Wow! This dinner had it all and was surprisingly The Best Tasting meal I've ever had in a restaurant!!!!! 😋

After dinner, our server walked us upstairs to see the Boutique Hotel that's filled up every weekend. Gothic atmosphere and design with roof top pool and bar, 12 rooms, and more changes coming in the near future.

Puerta Vieja is definitely a must visit restaurant off the Hwy 1 corridor across from Fresko and Home Depot.

Hats off to the...

Puerta Vieja is a fun little place, in a hotel right along the main highway in Cabo. We dined there on a friend’s recommendation. When we went there (July 2024), there was a lot of construction going on, not much of a view. The staff told us they’re planning to open the new restaurant on the roof in the Fall of 2024. Even with the shades closed, the evening sun made the dining area fairly warm.

The service was good, the wine list varied, and the food was very good. The meal proceeded slowly, but each dish was made to order, so no real complaint about the time. All the staff were very knowledgeable about the menu. From cocktails, to wine, appetizers, entrees and dessert everything tasted great.

The 4-star rating will likely improve to 5-star if the ambiance/view issue is fixed when the restaurant moves to the roof. They will need some way to keep it cool in the summer though. We’ll definitely go back once the move to the roof takes place, but perhaps when it’s cooler. Recommend...
