Top Restaurants of Todos Santos, BCS
Michael's At The Gallery - Restaurant open at 6:30 pm. Michael Cope, mplcope@yahoo.com, 145-0500, Todos Santos
Probably my favorite place in Todos. No other place with great food AND ambiance. Next door to the Cultural Center. Call/email for
reservations as they're only open 3 nights a week and are always booked.
Miguel's for chile rellenos in town and he's opened a place at Cerritos. Cafe Santa Fe is always excellent and pricey. Zaguan's is good and
taken over by Eric's from Los Adobes, and Giardino's for Italian and creative pizzas.
Michael's is listed at the bottom of this restaurant list:

US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Thanks for the link. Just reminds me of how the area has become sort of Sedona- South. I remember when Cafe Santa Fe first opened. Not much
competition back then. Places like Las Fuentes and Restaurant Santa Monica were more representative of the times.

Hey Lee, isn't this guide from a new website promoting their new development?!! I like all the restaurant suggestions but CalyCanto is just some rich
guys attempt to cash in on our "chic" Bohemian Artists Image! They are
situated right on the road north of town with cars and dump trucks whizzing by. Love the part re Deposits, ha, ha. Maybe wealthy Italians??
Miguel's is my favorite with Palapa beach setting and good food at good prices! Michael Cope is arrogant and swishy?!  Tio

Tio (Thomas),
LOL! A bunch or rich guys. We're 6 couples that all love art, camaraderie, good surf and good food. We love everything about Todos and spend a
considerable time trying to improve it, including by volunteering countless hours with the recycling center, Todos Tortugueros, donating to the Palapa
Society and writing hours and hours of articles that we think will be useful to travelers. We are behind, not on the road (that's another development
owned by a developer from La Paz that unfortunately built in front of us after we started). We rent our units to cover our costs and are often told
that it's a nice reflection of Todos and that locals appreciate the information. Not sure why taking the time to write some sincere thoughts on the
local restaurants would warrant such a tongue lashing from someone who clearly also loves the area and is trying to make a living. Seems like you have
an axe to grind.
BTW, Michael is an incredible guy. Simply because he has gone high-end doesn't make him a sell out. That said, I agree with you on Miguel. When he
says best Rellenos in Baja, he's right!

If you tire of the Todos Santos fare, head down to Pescadero and try out Carlitos' Restaurant, besides great tacos he usually has several types of
fish cooked a variety of ways, campuchanas, ceviche, sashimi, sushi, fish sandwiches, salads and a full bar. Carlos is a very talented and
professional chef.

BCS has it all!
Might as well add The Sandbar in Pescadero, on the highway, just past Tequila Road, as another favorite of mine. I've never had a bad meal there
but only get burgers, fries, or steak. They put on a spread around different holidays -- St. Patty's Day was great corned beef and cabbage.
Thanksgiving, turkey and trimmings.
I like the people who hang there and it's fun getting drunk when a hot band is playing. Two flat screen TVs will have what ever games are being
played.
Todos, indeed, has a "chic" Bohemian Artists Image'' AND is "waspy upper middle class so-cal mexican rustic." That's why I like it. I like
the gringo Surf Ghetto of Pescadero even more.

I'm with Monoloco.
Carlitos in Pescadero is the bomb! Great food. Great people!
Carlos is an offroad racer and very knowledgable about racing and Cabos San Lucas in general. The waitress is .... well .... muy Bonita!
Buen provecho!
No worries

We ate at Miguels a couple times--good food...I liked the place a block up the street too bu don't recall the name--standard fare but the meal comes
with a great condiment tray of salsas, guac,etc.
Loved Cafe Todos Santos--It may be too waspy-hip but the coffee and bakery goods were excellent.

Zaguan was always our favorite place in TS, but the last time we were in the pueblo, it appeared to be closed (1/2 block from Tecolote bookstore).
Have they moved? Please advise.

What was the big palapa place just south of TS on the east side of the road? I seem to remember a thread years ago, maybe on the old Amigos board,
about how rude the owner was.

Save your time and money by not going to Art & Beer. Great atmosphere, off grid, unique tables/chairs Food pretty good, concerts (havn't attended
one) , but not enough guests to assure freshness. Great bloody mary w/17 ingredients. Prices high and I once observed Alfredo yelling at a customer he
thought was only there to use toilet w/o purchasing required minimum . She was w/ a group who where all the way in the back of the resturant all of
who were ordering. He forced the women to tears. I will not return.

Oxxo, Zaguan has reopened recently!! Efren closed up and went to La Paz to work. His friend Eric who has been co-owner, I think, of Los Adobes has
now taken over. Check out anew edition of El Calendario. Fresh fish of the day with Mango or Papaya salsa to die for! Buen Provecho!

We had the worse restaurant experience of our lives at ART 7 BEER south of TS several years ago-------------it also involved the use of the toilet by
my wife---------after we had ordered his 'famous' seafood c-cktails which cost a fortune----------I am surprised that somebody hasn't shot that guy,
he is so rude and obnoxious!!! I came within an inch of cole-c-cking the idiot, only reason I dinn't was my friend dragged me outside first---------
NEVER AGAIN

There is a nice, clean little restaurant on other side of hwy 19 from Art & Beer (don't know the name of it). Had shrimp quesadillas and margs
that were very good and about 1/4 price. Think it's been there for about a year. They also have a little mini market right next door.
Chiqui's Chicken off of hwy 19 in Pescadero is good as well. Just a guy and his bbq as his stand. Sells whole, 1/2 or 1/4 chicken with torts &
salsa...yummy.
Will have to try Carlito's next time in town...looks good.
Oh and Rancho Pescadero is good, a bit high end, i.e. expensive but nice atmosphere and friendly service. The hibiscus martini was one of the best
drinks I've ever had.

It may not be up to the standards of "restaurants"on the list, but Carnitas Barajas is a guaranteed stop for me when I'm there!
