Mezcal, the signature dining room of Montage Los Cabos is an aptly named venue. With its robust spirits selection and vibrant interiors, Mezcal embodies the laid-back yet lively vibe of this popular beach town. Whether you’re stopping by for Mexican-influenced breakfast favorites while overlooking the beautifully manicured grounds or an elegant multi-course tasting menu paired with smoky flights of mezcal, this inviting Los Cabos restaurant is sure to sate your appetite.
Bold blue columns and striking red glass artwork set the scene for a parade of mouthwatering plates coming out of Mezcal’s bustling kitchen. Highlights are traditional Mexican dishes updated with modern techniques — think lamb birria served with a light and airy cilantro foam or cafe de olla (Mexican spiced coffee) transformed into an elegant dessert. But the food isn’t the only star here; the excellent cocktail program also takes the spotlight, providing a supporting role to the thoughtful plates.
- There isn’t a bad seat at Mezcal, but the best spot might just be on the terrace at sunset. Snag a table near a firepit to enjoy the flickering flames and a striking sky as the sun sets over Santa Maria Bay.
- Starting your day at Mezcal is a must. Breakfast offerings like the Mezcal Benedict made with vanilla butter-poached lobster and chipotle hollandaise set you up for a day of indulgence.

- The bar’s signature cocktails are all named for figures in traditional Mexican folklore, such as the strawberry-infused mezcal- and gin-based Ixchel “Maya Goddess of the Moon” or the rum and blackberry atole-infused (atole is a hot masa-based beverage) Coatepec “Aztec Sacred Hill.”
- In keeping with the restaurant’s ethos, a pair of mocktails draws inspiration from classic Mexican flavors. Sip on a horchata tinged with lemongrass or a watermelon-based drink with a twist of passion fruit.
