They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So, searching for a good place to have breakfast is important. Whether you are interested in a traditional Mexican breakfast – burritos, chilaquiles, huevos ranchero or a la Mexican – or American style breakfasts – Bagels and lox or cream cheese, eggs Benedict, pancakes, waffles, omelets or bacon and eggs – or a light healthy breakfast – fruit, yoghurt, granola – there are great places to choose from in San Jose del Cabo. While not exhaustive here are some of the places to check out (listed alphabetically).
Buzzards is an outdoor restaurant in La Laguna on the East Cape. The restaurant has an extensive breakfast menu with almost any Mexican or American dish that you could want. With multiple variations on Eggs Benedict, this is one of my favorite places for breakfast. Service is excellent from a friendly staff and the owner, Paul Meredith.
