I eat here at least once during every trip to Cabo. There are quite a few local seafood choices, but I am allergic to seafood, and I have often had them prepare something for me off-menu, such as Chicken breast with vegetables. I have been meaning to write a review about Manuel's for several years. It is rarely crowded and... More

We went to Manuel's Creative Cuisine on our last night in Cabo. My husband got the tasting menu and enjoyed every morsel. I ordered the coffee pork and it was delicous. We can not wait to go back next year. We were the only diners there until we were leaving .Of course, we ate as soon as they opened so... More

We ate a Manuel's by accident after our hotel made an error ( we intended to go to Don Manuel's), but what a great error it was. We had a couples dinner on the terrace. It was a chilly night and they had heat lamps available which was just perfect. Our waiter Salvador was a true professional and wanted to... More

We passed on Nick-san as we already have great sushi where we lived. As enthusiastic and friendly as the staff were, I really wanted to like this place. Although there were some hits like the fish, most of the entrees were just OK. Tasty but not particularly memorable. Portions smaller than other restaurants in the area. Margartias were great though.... More

Located across from Nick-san Japanese restaurant in the Palmilla Shopping Center, Manuel's offers gourmet quality cuisine in a pleasant setting and with top-notch service. My wife enthused about her goat cheese salad and grilled salmon entree. I had an extraordinary Caesar salad -- no croutons, but kernels of corn and bits of tomato and avocado -- and pork loin grilled... More

Every year we go to Manuel's Creative Cuisine on the last night of our Cabo vacation, since it my favorite restaurant. We almost didn't go this year because some of the reviews said it wasn't as good as it used to be, complaining about the food and the service. I highly disagree. Both the food and service are top notch.... More

The multiple chefs in the open kitchen took great care in the preparation of each tantalizing course. A real gem in a smallish room in "The shops at Palmilla "

Chef Manuel has got an incredible thing going here, from the chocolate bread to the unique calamari, definitely worth your trip and your money. A new favorite for sure!
