The Office on the beach in Cabo San Lucas.
Dine under the stars with your feet firmly planted in the sand

...once upon a time, in the decade of the 70's, when the Baja peninsula was still a remote and isolated place and few visitors came to the region, the first –and at that time the only- palapa on the beach was built on the médano beach of Cabo San Lucas...
...on the virgin beach this palapa, with its small kitchen and unpretentious bar tended to the needs of locals and the few tourists of the time, offering simple fare such as ceviches, fried fish, burritos or hamburgers, and the always wanted margaritas, cuba libres and beers, besides the traditional water or coffee...

...a local character -a gringo viejo, as the writer Carlos Fuentes would say- rented wind-surf equipment on the beach and entertained his clients and friends in this same palapa, which was referred to -by him and others- as the office, the office on the beach...
...the name stuck, and shortly after a blue sign with yellow lettering somehow popped up identifying the place officially as an office... the Office on the beach...
...the rest is history.

Times have changed, but the Office on the beach is, as always, the place for breakfast, lunch or dinner Cabo-style ...where one can enjoy classical informal elegance with one’s feet firmly planted in the sand, year-round and from 7 am to 10 pm. The 16-ounce Office Margaritas are almost as famous as its traditional Mexican kitchen and fresh local fish and seafood, amongst them and just as an example Baja-style jumbo shrimp in the shell, butterfly-cut and grilled with a generous amount of blackened garlic, served with Mexican white rice and beans, and garnished with tomato and avocado slices, with a choice of corn or wheat flour tortillas, hand-made at the moment and on the premises.

On Sunday and Thursday evenings there is always a lively Mexican Fiesta with pre-hispanic and traditional folk dances, piñatas, tequila shooters on the house, waiters' show, and audience participation, with dancing under the stars until 11 pm.
