San Carlos Restaurants

If you’re looking to get away from life for a while, there’s no better place in the world to do it than the beautiful beach town of San Carlos, Mexico. Here, you’ll find warm weather, miles of public beaches, and an atmosphere that couldn’t possibly be more relaxing. San Carlos is set against rocky mountains and the Sonoran Desert, giving the town a natural beauty that is sure to take your breath away. Best of all, you can always find something to do in San Carlos, and there are plenty of fine dining establishments that offer visitors foods from a range of delicious cuisines. The following San Carlos restaurants represent some of our preferences and our guests’ favorites.

La Trattoria

You can certainly enjoy plenty of traditional Mexican fare during your vacation, but for a change of pace, you may want to try La Trattoria, which serves exceptional Italian cuisine. You can enjoy everything from gourmet pizza to penne calabresi in a casual setting close to the sea. Because the meals served there consistently satisfy and impress patrons, the restaurant is frequently quite busy, but you’ll find that an attentive waitstaff is always available to serve you. Don’t skip this San Carlos gem: The lasagna is a favorite with tourists.

La Palapa Griego

A Greek restaurant in a Mexican beach town might seem out of place to some, but La Palapa Griego never disappoints! In fact, it is considered by many to be one of the best restaurants in San Carlos, Mexico. Restaurants don’t often afford scenic views like the one that can be enjoyed at La Palapa Griego, which is situated facing the stunning, crystal-clear waters of the Sea of Cortez. Grab a gyro or a Greek salad and eat to your heart’s content. Come for the breathtaking view, but stay for the excellent service and delicious food. You can’t go wrong with a meal at La Palapa Griego.

El Mirador de la Manga

El Mirador de la Manga is less frequented by tourists. This off-the-beaten-path restaurant can be difficult to locate for a non-native, but it is worth the trek, as a fantastic setting for authentic local fare. This is another restaurant with a spectacular view of the sea. In fact, the word “mirador” in the restaurant’s name means “lookout” or “vantage point.” Be sure to try their specialty steaming volcanic bowls of stew made with fresh octopus, shrimp, and crab.  

Delfines

Delfines features fresh-caught seafood combined with the best Sonoran beef in a fine dining atmosphere. They are most well-known for their twice-aged, 1300-degree filet mignon steaks and for having the best selection of international deli sandwiches, but other wildly popular dishes include the Kung Pao Chicken, Filet Stroganoff, and Proscuitto / Asiago Chicken Pasta. You will find live music from Wednesdays through Saturdays on the Delfines stage and their new multi-level patio balcony.
