It was a perfect day to head to the beach or in my case, next to it so I made my way to the end of the Marina and crossed over to Medano beach, which was not surprisingly packed given the weekend. The sand was quite soft, making it hard to get proper footing so by the time I made it to my destination, I had put in quite the workout.

The Office is a Cabo institution, a home to both families enjoying a meal at the beach and scalawags who flock to the large bar for the generous portions of margaritas and other classic libations. I went here both of my previous trips but not for lunch so I was curious how the (not cheap) food was.

I was hoping to try one of their breakfast dishes but alas only lunch menu now. Still, the shrimp tacos “governor style” (stewed tomatoes, green peppers and Jack cheese) sounded like a good stand in. Served this way and with the large flour tortillas it more like a crepe than a traditional taco trio. The shrimps were perfectly cooked paired nicely with the veggies and melted cheese. Not cheap but delicious.

The nice weather quickly got fairly cloudy so I decided to leave the beach to go check out this small batch tequila store to do a tasting. The owner was very jovial and accommodating, allowing me to try not only their more standard repasados and añejos but also a couple of “extra” añejos. Of course my favorites were the most expensive ones. I told him I had to think about it and asked how much for the tastings. He shook his head and said it was free. I tipped him a few bucks and went on my way, now just a wee bit tipsy.

Despite the looming dark skies, I decided to head up to my roof deck pool again, this time actually getting in the water, which was exactly what I needed. I hung out a bit on the chaise lounge to dry off and eventually went back to my room for a siesta and change of clothes for my nostalgic tripped dinner.

Edith’s is another Cabo staple and in fact shares the same owner. I had been here both of my previous Cabo trips so another visit was a must. The restaurant basically put Baja cuisine on the map and is a truly stunning venue.

I was welcomed with a vegetable tostada, which was delicious. In classic steakhouse fashion, I was soon present with tray full of options from which to choose. It was a no brainer to get the wood grilled Catch of the Day with grilled asparagus, sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes, a meal my dad often tries to get even when not on the menu prepared that way. So this one is for you, Dad.

The generous filet was perfectly cooked and so fresh. The vegetable medley with a nice accompaniment and the mashed potatoes were very creamy. Simple but delicious.

As a night cap, I decided to go check out Bar 360 next to the restaurant. The venue was in the same hotel as the Baja Brewing but a few floors higher so the views were even more stunning.

I selected a Mezcal based margarita but told them to hold the agave syrup so I could enjoy more of that smokiness I love so much in a cocktail. I sipped on my drink and did some prime people watching – a mix of sauced hotel guests and those just out for a night on the town.

I was starting to fade pretty fast so I finished up my drink and made the quick walk back to my apartment. I didn’t have anything planned the next day but that night would be a different story. Stay tuned.
