The Top 10 Places to Eat Near Villa Santa Cruz

A carved wood sign marks the start, and then you walk a jungle path to reach the open-air dining room beyond. This is a tasting-menu restaurant in Todos Santos where the menu changes with the lunar cycle, offered as à la carte or a full tasting. The cooking plays with surprise, pairing rich braises with unexpected textures and sauces that seem to come from another cuisine entirely. A place the Michelin Guide has noticed, quietly tucked into the Baja desert.

The oyster bar takes the center of a high-ceilinged room built on the bones of an old sugar mill, and everything else in this Todos Santos seafood restaurant arranges itself around it. The chef, a Sonoran native, leans into Baja waters for the oysters, served with mignonette and a ponzu that suggests he's thought about this more than most. A back patio catches the view when you're ready to let the meal slow down.

The patio faces the pool and the beach, and if your timing is right you catch the Baja sunset head-on. Benno is the hotel restaurant at Hotel San Cristóbal in Todos Santos, open from breakfast through dinner, with a menu that leans into the coast: ceviche, grilled local cheese, whatever fish came in that day. The churros arrive as small bites with dulce de leche and warm chocolate for dipping, which is a quietly clever call.

A long dirt road through pepper fields is your navigation, and finding Tenoch feels like part of the deal. This open-air contemporary Mexican restaurant sits inside a resort in Todos Santos, serving seafood and produce pulled largely from the surrounding land. The kitchen's ideas are more serious than the breezy palapa vibe suggests, and the mole alone makes a case for the detour.

A farm shop sits at the entrance, which tells you what kind of restaurant this is going to be. Agricole is a garden-set contemporary Mexican spot on the highway between Cabo and Todos Santos, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand for cooking that steps back and lets ingredients argue for themselves. The tomato plate, the fried fish tacos, the ribeye tacos, and the cocktail menu all do their part. Bring sunscreen; you're eating outside.
