We were so happy to see that Casa Martin had decided to open a restaurant in San Jose del Cabo.  Casa Martin San Jose del Cabo is located next to the Mission in the small plaza across from La Dolce’s parking lot in the Art District.  As you enter, you will encounter all the amazing sculptures made of scrap metal by Juan Sotomayor. 

We love the food and service at the Cabo San Lucas unique location.  We were equally pleased with the experience at the new location in San Jose del Cabo.  A group of seven of went for dinner.  Even before ordering, we were brought the first pizza prepared in their special oven.  It was delicious.  The table was also served rolls and butter.  We asked for two orders of tuna tartar for the table to share.  The tuna was very fresh and the flavors excellent.  Kevin and Tracey shared a Country Salad with grilled romaine lettuce and vegetables, and Beth had the Butternut Squash soup, which was poured at the table. The traditional amuse of a five-cheese ravioli was served to everyone before our main courses.  The choice was main courses was diverse – a lamb shank with the lamb falling off the bone, two orders of chicken piccata served with a green pasta, the catch-of-the day Totoaba, a white fish served with organic vegetables and sunflower hummus, the lobster risotto, the linguine habanero, and the braised short rib with pappardelle pasta.  The conclusion was thumbs up from around the table.  We all did a little sharing as well, to taste the other’s choices.  The quality and presentation of the food met the highest standard and the standard set by Chef Roger Martin.

During the meal, we were entertained by Guillermo on vocals, who performed a range of standards from singers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and others.  He added in a few Christmas carols to celebrate the season.  The chef, Karla Tejeda came out to see how we liked our dinner, and we all clapped.

To end the meal, we shared an order of warm churros that were served with caramel, chocolate and strawberry sauces.  Delicious.  Overall, it was an excellent experience.  We will be back soon.
