we went to both manuel's and casiano's and tried the tasting menu. hands down manuel's was far better. everything was great - taste, presentation, originality. service was good, very attentive, although at some points i felt the servers were a bit impatient. reasonably priced, fresh ingredients, interesting menu, i would come back.

Manuel may not actually have the title of Iron Chef, but he posesses the level of skill and creativity required. We experienced the tasting menu, and from start to finish the execution and presentation were unparalleled and enhanced by the warmth of our friend for the evening Salvador who attended to our every need. We can't wait to visit Dallas... More

From the moment we were greeted at the entrance, until saying "hasta luego", Manuel's was a memorable evening. The service, especially Salvator, was equal to the food and its presentation ... which has no equal in the area. We shared an delicious shrimp appetizer, had both the pear and ceasar salads, followed by the pork dish and crab cake. Wouldn't... More

We have been dining in the San Jose Del Cabo area for 15 years and considered this find to be one of our bests. The service was outstanding and included a couple of surprises which I had never seen before! I would tell you but that would ruin the surprise for you. The bartender was good with unusual house drinks... More

Located in the Shoppes at Palmillas, this restaurant is everything you would want at a fine dining establishment. The service was extremely attentive and the food was extraordinary. It is fusion cuisine hence the 'creative' name. My wife & I both chose the tasting menu and felt that was the best way to go since this was our first time... More

Dipped into this place per TripAdvisor reviews and was not disappointed. We went early, and we were the first table seated (around 5:30 on a weekday). I found the servers to be very attentive - every course was brought out by two servers, then the manager visited our table several times to ask us what we thought of the dishes.... More

I am not a fan of writing reviews, but I have to definitely thank Tripadvisor for recommending this place. My wife and I had dinner there last night and all we can think of is going back to Manuel's today!! The place is beautiful, breathtaking ocean view, impeccable service, but above all: the FOOD, we enjoyed the tasting menu, highly... More

This is our 3rd time going to Manuels and we love it! The food is definitely creative and the chef knows what he is doing. We always order the prix fixe, which is amazing. Although the last time we went, it was a very busy night and our waiter, perhaps not wanting us to order the prix fixe, told us... More

The food was the best that we've tried in the Los Cabos area (having been here several months over the past three years), and the service was very attentive. We will definitely return. More
