Carbón Cabrón

What diners say

A Michelin-recognized live-fire kitchen tucked into El Merkado near San José del Cabo, Carbón Cabrón cooks nearly everything over open flame — and diners say the real surprise is the vegetables: smoky grilled corn and leek draw as much praise as the well-marbled cuts. The setting is theatrical (open kitchen, stacked firewood, shared tables, a moody almost-Tim-Burton design) and service earns standout marks for warmth and attention. Regulars call it one of the best meals in Los Cabos and worth the splurge. The recurring caveat is price — it runs high, a few feel the cuts aren't true prime, and one or two flagged billing surprises, so review the check. Tip: ask about the charcoal-grilled vegetables and the open-fire specials.
