El Puesto at Four Seasons Costa Palmas

Set on the sand at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, El Puesto is a relaxed cevicheria and sushi spot built around the East Cape's daily catch. The kitchen pairs locally sourced seafood with premium fish from Japan, turning them into ceviches, sashimi, nigiri and rolls with Japanese flavors and techniques. The mood is barefoot and unhurried, the sort of place where lunch stretches into the afternoon over chilled drinks and one more roll. Tucked into the East Cape town of La Ribera, well beyond the bustle of the main Los Cabos corridor, it captures the easygoing rhythm of Baja's quieter coast, where the day is measured by tides rather than reservations.

Dining here happens under an airy palapa with your feet quite literally in the sand, woven shade umbrellas and low-slung furniture framing views across the beach and the Sea of Cortez beyond. Four Seasons recommends refined resort attire for dinner and does not permit swimwear, bathrobes, athletic attire or bare feet. The soundtrack is largely the breeze and the gentle clatter of an open sushi counter. By day the light is bright and the pace is languid, ideal for a long seafood lunch between swims or boat outings. From Wednesday to Sunday, evenings bring a 10-course omakase served at the counter, with seatings at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. It is casual coastal dining at its most natural.

Why El Puesto Stands Out

Genuine toes-in-the-sand setting — Tables sit directly on the beach beneath a shaded palapa at the Four Seasons resort, so every meal comes with the sand underfoot and the Sea of Cortez in view.

Local seafood, Japanese technique — Lunch pairs locally sourced seafood with premium fish from Japan, on a menu that runs from crispy rice and house-style ceviche to sashimi, nigiri and rolls.

Lunch by day, omakase by night — Lunch is served daily, and from Wednesday to Sunday the counter hosts a 10-course omakase in two evening seatings, giving the same spot two distinct moods across the day.

An East Cape escape — Located in La Ribera at Costa Palmas, far from the busy Los Cabos hotel zone, it offers a quieter, more remote Baja dining experience on the resort's beach.

Must-Try Dishes

Crispy Rice with Avocado — Crisp rice topped with avocado, served four ways: bluefin tuna with wasabi aioli, crab with chive and yuzu lemon mayo, spicy sesame salmon, or beef with mustard ponzu and truffle parmesan.

Sashimi & Nigiri — Akami bluefin tuna from Ensenada, Bakkafrost salmon from Denmark and Japanese hamachi yellowtail, served as sashimi or nigiri.

Chutoro Ceviche — The kitchen’s own style of ceviche, made with chutoro tuna. A Japanese hamachi ceviche shares the same section of the menu.

Shrimp Tempura Roll — A sushi roll from a list that also names sweet potato roll, toro scallion, California king crab, yellowtail scallion, salmon avocado and spicy tuna.
