Flora’s Field Kitchen of Flora Farms is long established Acre Baja is a newcomer-and both are herald a new wave of creative, Baja-grown dishes. It takes an adventurous spirit and a bumpy ride on a dirt road to reach the two best restaurants in San José del Cabo, but once you arrive, you’ll definitely linger. Tanveer Badal Eat & Drink | San José del Cabo Mesquite roasted chicken and pasta at Flora Farms. The resort, the first of the post-Hurricane Odile grand openings, includes several buzzy bars, a restaurant helmed by famed chef Enrique Olvera (of Mexico City’s Pujol and New York City’s Cosme), artwork by Mexican ceramist José Noé Suro, and a massive whale sculpture composed of driftwood from Odile’s aftermath. Instead, go for the best of both worlds at the new The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, about 10 minutes from downtown, where each of the rooms look out toward El Arco, the iconic rock arch of Cabo San Lucas.
