Cabo San Lucas

About the restaurant

By Renowned Mexican Chef, Enrique Olvera, Manta is the culinary centerpiece of The Cape, A Thompson Hotel. With an intriguing double meaning, the manta ray symbolizes the kitchen"s focus on seafood, while manta, the Spanish word for blanket, conveys the chef's emphasis on comfort. Acknowledge by the New York Times for his "way of confirming and subverting expectations of Mexican food at the same time," Olvera has drawn inspiration from the izakaya tradition to introduce a pan-Pacific concept of Mexican cuisine. The intimate, richly textured space features a dramatic exhibition kitchen and a curated beverage menu focused on mezcals, tequilas and sakes.

The food, ambience and service are all excellent but I was not expecting Manhattan prices. Shows what I know for sure but $240 for Napanook Cabernet?

I live in San Francisco and am a fine dining foodie - have been to several Michelin restaurants all over the world. Food and service at Cocina de Aurora are very, very good. Really enjoyed all the dishes and cocktails. On par with other amazing restaurants around the world. It is very pricey, especially considering it’s Mexico. But the quality did not disappoint. Our meal was $800 USD with tip (we drank a lot and got the 10 courses). The restaurant and ambiance are beautiful. It was our anniversary and they had a special dessert for us. I love chocolate and needed another bite, they immediately brought me more. Not sure what other reviewers were taking about service being off and flavors lacking — that was not our experience at all. We had a world class meal from start to finish.

Everything was very nice. I was with some first timers…. They said they enjoyed everything. I had the chicken burger, and they had the fried pork chops. Mashed potatoes were little salty but the server changed them right away, so all was well. Nice local experience ❤️
