ALMA DE MEXICO. Located at the corner of Alvaro Obregon and Vicente Guerrero at the north end of the Art District in San Jose del Cabo is a unique business that combines a restaurant, a market with small artisanal stands, live music, and a spa - Alma de Mexico.

We climbed the stairs to the second-floor location and were greeted by the hostess who led us to a table for four. Our server, Karely brought us menus and asked what we would like to drink. Tracey ordered a Mezcalita, Beth a limonada minerale and I asked for a glass of chardonnay. We were brought a basket of tortilla chips and two salsas to nibble while we looked over the menu. The menu offers a full range of Mexican dishes - empanadas, quesadillas, tacos, fajitas, molcajete, enchiladas, as well as shrimp and beef specialties. We ordered guacamole to share to start, which was served in a large stone bowl with a crisp tostada. For main courses, Tracey selected the fajitas de pollo served with rice and beans, and Beth chose the mango shrimp served on rice with a side salad. Both dishes came with a basket of flour tortillas. I decided on the Baja fish tacos tempura style. The two tacos were loaded with lettuce, cabbage, and shredded carrots and a sauce with just a little spice.

The flavor, portion size, and presentation were very good and the prices quite reasonable. Karely was an excellent server and kept us in drinks throughout the evening.

However, the real thrill of the evening was the live entertainment - Kids Monsters. These five extremely talented siblings, ranging in age from 15 to 27 took the house down. With a repertoire that featured hits of the 60s and 70s and a few recent songs, they demonstrated not only their ability to play their instruments, but their ability to entrain and engage the audience. The drummer and lead vocalist could sound like almost anyone - from Steve Perry of Journey to Axel Rose of Guns n' Roses to Louis Armstrong. The 15-year-old keyboard player was just as comfortable on the lead vocals as on her electronic keyboard. The young female bass player twirled her hair, jumped around the stage, danced with the audience and played her bass as she moved around the room. The 18-year-old girl was equally comfortable on guitar, percussion, or saxophone. The oldest brother screamed with lead guitar solos. Where did all of this talent come from? It was clear when their father joined them on both drums and guitar for the last few songs. What an amazing band?

Overall, this was one of the best nights out that we have had in a while for both the entertainment, atmosphere, food and service. We are already planning to take a big group back in a few weeks on a Wednesday night when Kids Monsters play.

BLUE MOON FOLLIES AT TEATRO LUNA AZUL IN TODOS SANTOS. Every child deserves the chance to be on stage and perform. This is exactly the opportunity that Jewels Nation created with the Blue Moon Follies at Teatro Luna Azul on February 22 and 23rd. A group of children ranging from 3 years old to teenagers rehearsed for weeks to show their talent to the community. This two-hour performance showcased the dancing, singing, and improvisation skills of this talented group of young performers. As Jewels said at one point, "I am the understudy for every role in this show," as she led the children and performed right along with them. The audience clapped and cheered for the children as they performed. The show began with a drum circle of adults, which heralded the arrival of all of the performers to the stage. Jewels introduced four young girls who came to her on the first day of rehearsals with a dance number that they had choreographed themselves. Every child had the opportunity to improvise doing something of their own choice.

At the half-way point of the show, Rhythm Complex dance students of different ages performed a series of spirited dance numbers. The only two adult performances in the show were by Jewels herself and Chava Tzemach, who was helping Jewels with coordinating the performers through this spirited event.

Thank you, Jewels Nation, for what you did for these children and the community.

COOL BEANS LOS CABOS. Are you a lover of the music, food and lifestyle of the late 60s and early 70s? Then, Cool Beans Los Cabos is a restaurant that you may want to visit. Located on the corner of Ignacio Zaragoza (the down street) and VicenteGuerrero in the Art District in San Jose de Cabo, Cool Beans was created in small town Kansas by Angela Stoughton, who grew up influenced by her flower child mother, listening to her mother's turntable constantly playing the music of the 60s and 70s. She learned to cook in her grandmother's kitchen and ultimately opened the first Cool Beans in Sterling, Kansas.

These influences are clearly shown in the design of the restaurant (inside and outside) and the menu. Murals adorn the outside walls and windows of the great bands of this era. A rack of magazines like Life and Time are displayed in two magazines racks for people to explore the time period for themselves. There are statutes of Elvis, The Blues Brothers, and hippie chicks in the restaurant. The walls are covered with old posters of rock bands, and even at hooked rug of mushrooms. The furniture is classic 60s American diner with booths and tables in two-tone blue. There are even Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man video games in the main dining room. The rooftop dining, where live music is played has a large bar in the shape of an old VW bus.

The names of the dishes on the menu reflect the emotions, music and lifestyles of the period. The choices on the menu range from sandwiches, soups and salads with names like in-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Bliss, Elation, and Glass Onion. There are also some Feel Good Foods - meat loaf, Shepherd's Pie - Hippie Meals - Peanut Butter and Jam Sandwich, Grilled Cheese, and Psychedelic Sweets. Of course, there are also milkshakes and floats.

We decided to try some of the traditional meals. I started with the Shake a Tail Feather creamy chicken soup. It had large chunks of potato, carrots, and chicken in the creamy broth and was pretty good and filling. For the main course, Beth chose the American Pie - Shepherd's Pie with ground beef and vegetables in a pastry crust - served with a side salad and corn on the cob. I ordered the I'D Do Anything For Love - Meatloaf with a slice of provolone cheese on top, served with corn on the cob. Both main courses came with a couple slices of bread. Beth ordered a chocolate milkshake to accompany her meal.

Overall, I would say that we more excited by the concept and design of the restaurant than by the food. The flavors were a little bland and did not meet the expectations created by the menu. The service was excellent. As the restaurant has only been open for a few weeks, we will give it another try after they have had a chance to work out some of the issues.

TIERRA SANTA SEAFOOD AND GRILL IN LA PLAYITA WITH FRIENDS. A new family-owned restaurant opened in November in La Playita across from the beach past El Ganzo Hotel. Open from 2:00 to 10:00 pm Thursday to Monday is a new hidden gem with a great menu, pricing and service.

Entering the big gates, there is a lounge seating area to the left and a large outdoor bar to the right. Dining is outdoors with comfortable tables and a banquette along the left wall in the dining area. The full kitchen is at the back of the restaurant. The menu is simple offering two soups, two salads, four dishes from the sea and three on the grill as well as two desserts and a full bar for beverages. While the menu may appear limited, the choices are great.

Beth and Sue both chose one of the two salads on the menu as an appetizer - the Baby Salad and the Caprese Salad. The Baby Salad comes with baby lettuce, goat cheese, cranberries, and walnuts in a honey mustard dressing. The Caprese Salad has sliced tomatoes, goat cheese, arugula, and a touch of pesto. The presentation and flavors of both were excellent. John and I just ordered a main course.

For the main course, Beth ordered the Giant Oriental Taco and Sue ordered the Giant Shrimp Taco. Both are huge shrimp tacos (almost burrito size) with different preparations and are served with a side salad. The Giant Oriental Taco has breaded shrimp with sautéed vegetables in a soy sauce. The Giant Shrimp Taco has grilled shrimp covered in butter with gouda cheese and a chipotle sauce. Again, great presentation, portion size and flavor. John and I chose burgers - his beef and mine portobello mushroom. Both were served with French Fries and caramelized onions, lettuce and sliced tomatoes. My huge portobello was filled with cream cheese. We had to cut the burgers in half to eat them, they were so large. In my case, I took half of it home for lunch the next day. Mariana, the chef and wife of Gerardo brought us some ceviche with pesto to go along with our main courses. The ceviche was chopped fish, tomatoes, onions, and black olives in a pesto sauce. Everything tasted fantastic.

One of the reasons that I say that this restaurant is a hidden gem is because the food is amazing in portion size, flavor, and presentation and is very reasonably priced. There are only three items on the menu over $200 pesos - salmon, arrachera and the sirloin burger. The service is also excellent as the whole family is involved. The restaurant has a great atmosphere to enjoy your food and drinks.

EZRA KATZ PLEIN AIR ARTIST. Todos Santos is one of the major centers of art in Baja California Sur. There are many galleries and artisan stores throughout the downtown area of Todos Santos. On the main street in Todos Santos (Benito Juarez) across from the turn down to the arroyo and north Todos Santos, you will find Ezra Katz Gallery featuring paintings of landscapes and life in Baja. Born in Texas in 1970, Erza’s parents moved to La Paz when he was only three months old. His passion for art was seen very early in life, and from the time that he was young (only 7 years old), his parents arranged art tutors to come from Mexico City to spend the summer giving him art lessons. When the time for college came, Ezra studied art and then commercial art at the University of Texas in Austin and Corpus Christi. Katz became better known on the art scene with the attention and features in Southwestern Art in 2003, 2007 and 2013.

Ezra captures the soul of the Baja with vibrant colors. His scenes feature the people, buildings, animals, the water and the sky that are familiar to anyone who visits Los Cabos and Todos Santos. Many of his works include his sea foam green VW van. Over the years, we have purchased several of his paintings for our townhouse in San Jose del Cabo and our condo in Todos Santos.

The photos below show the current paintings that are available at Erza Katz Gallery in Todos Santos as well as his first offering of three limited edition prints.

VALENTINE'S DAY AT IL SPLENDIDO. Located in Palmilla Dunes, Il Splendido is one of the new Italian restaurants in Los Cabos. Arriving at the hostess stand at the front door, there is a great view of the bar and the indoor and outdoor dining spaces of the restaurant. We were there for Valentine's Day and the restaurant offered a choice of a four-course special Valentine's Day dinner, or an a la carte reduced menu from their regular menu. Asked where we would like to sit, we chose a table out on the deck. The deck is surrounded by cacti and plants and can be covered with fabric against the heat during the day. The whole area had very interesting lighting, both on the table, in the planter and above the tables.

We were offered the menu and decided to go with the reduced version of the regular menu. I ordered a half bottle of Louis Latour Cablis, which was opened by the sommelier of the restaurant. Beth chose sparkling water. Our meal started with a basket of bread and butter, which included a brioche roll, toasted sourdough, and bread sticks (for $160 pesos). Beth selected the Shrimp Bisque as an appetizer, and I chose the Caesar Salad. The Caesar Salad was very good and served with thin strips of parmesan Reggiano and crumbled croutons over the whole top. The portion size was definitely large enough to share between two people (and we did). Beth said that the Shrimp Bisque was excellent.

For the main course, Beth ordered the Fettuccine with Wagyu meatballs. She said the flavor of the small meatballs was very good although they were a little dry. I selected the Crispy Lasagna. It was excellent with several layers of pasta, with the top layer being crispy. The pomodoro sauce was a little sweet and delicious. Again, the portion size was large, and I took more than half of it home to have for lunch the next day.

Ernesto, our server asked if we would like dessert. We looked at the menu and Beth selected the three scoops of Passion Fruit Sorbet and I chose the Passion Fruit Panna Cotta. Both were very good.

During our meal, a three-piece combo played excellent instrumental music to set the mood for the evening. Overall, we were impressed with the food presentation and flavors, the services, and the atmosphere of Il Splendido. It is a fine dining restaurant with prices to match.

DINNER AT ZAC'S BAR AND GRILL IN ZACATITOS. Zac's Bar and Grill has been central to the community of Los Zacatitos since it opened in 2007. Located right at the entrance to the neighborhood, Angel and Paul Rini have expanded the restaurant twice during the last five years. There are regular events - live music, Oscar parties - and the residents use Zac's for regular ladies' lunches, weekly Cribbage tournaments and more. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor dining with seating at long bars in both rooms. With live music, Zac’s typically offers an all-you-can-eat buffet.

The menu is extensive - nine pages long not included the alcohol and drink menu. There are several appetizers, including a number featuring seafood; soups, sandwiches, burgers - beef, veggie, and fish - several different salads, Mexican foods - tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, and more - seafood, ribs and chicken from the grill, pasta, pizzas on Mondays.

Ethan ordered poblano peppers rings for the table. Breaded and fried, the poblano rings are served with ranch dressing and a chipotle dressing. It was a little chilly and so I decided to have a bowl of baked potato soup to start. It is always delicious and comes with two slices of garlic bread with cheese. For the main course Claude selected the enchiladas stuffed with chicken, Ethan the coconut shrimp, and I chose the chicken parmesan. The six coconut shrimp, an appetizer on the menu, comes with a sweet and spicy pineapple dip. The chicken parmesan is served with pasta with a pomodoro sauce, grilled vegetables, and garlic bread. We shared the brownie with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream for dessert.

The food was very good with large portion sizes. Raul, our waiter was excellent as always and the atmosphere at Zac's Bar & Grill is great. You can see the sunset over the hills to the west of Zacatitos while sitting in the front dining room.

BRINGING LIFE BACK TO OUTDOOR WOOD AT OUR TOWNHOUSE. While sun year around is a nice thing, along with the salt in the air creates problems for woodwork outdoors. Our townhouse in Pueblo Campestre Phase 2 has two large wooden gates and wooden boxes that hold the three different meters - electric, propane, and water. In two years, all of these have cracked and faded dramatically from the sun. I am sure that the low-quality sealants have continued to the relatively fast deterioration. In addition, the iron frames in the gates showed signs of rust and fading.

We asked Sergio from Home Maintenance and Improvement by Eduardo to bring the woodwork back to life. The vertical slats in each of the gates were removed, sanded and refinished outside our back gate. While Sergio worked on the refinishing his associate cleaned and repainted the ironwork frame for each gate. We also asked them to change the bolts that had been used in the gates from square (which could be removed from outside) to round heads. The gates looked brand new when they were finished that same day. Sergio removed the three meter boxes and took them to the shop to repair cracks and refinish them. He came back two days later and reinstalled them by the front gate. While he was there Beth asked him to drill some holes in our courtyard fountain to improve the way the water flowed out of the top.

The other wood items that had dramatically faded in our back patio was the parota table that had built by Carmat Carpinteria. Prior to having a pergola over this outdoor dining area, the table had been open to wind and rain day in and day out. We asked Carlos to take the table and refinish it for us to restore the original look of the finish. He returned two days later to deliver the table, and it too looked brand new. A great week of maintenance by excellent teams.

LUNCH AND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AT SHADE AT LA FORTUNA BEACH BAR & GRILL. We made a 3:30 reservation at Shade in La Fortuna to have a late lunch and enjoy Extra Large Perform. As the restaurant was completely booked, Marcus and Belen, the owners had put signs on each table with the name of guest. We asked our neighbor Tracy to join us for the afternoon. Shade has outdoor dining under a fabric roof, a special area for the stage for live performances, seating at the bar and outside with a fire pit. We found our table and later were greeted by Marcus and Belen and offered the special menu for the day.

We ordered our drinks, Diet Coke for me and Limonada Minerale for the ladies and looked over the menu. Shade has a wood-fired pizza oven that makes great pizza. The menu also offers appetizers - guacamole, ceviche, chicken wings, quesadillas and more - a variety of tacos, hamburgers, salads, and chicken, fish, ribs, shrimp, fish, tuna, hot dogs, and steak from the grill.

We were all in the mood for fresh tacos. The ladies ordered the battered shrimp tacos in flour tortillas, and I chose the battered fish tacos with flour tortillas. Each of the taco plates had three tacos covered with shredded cabbage and carrots with a chipotle sauce on top, and three ramekins with guacamole, Pico de Gallo, and a salsa. There was lots of fish and shrimp in each taco. The fish tacos were juicy and flaky, and Beth and Tracy said the shrimp tacos were great too.

It was an absolute pleasure to watch Extra Large while we ate and drank. The six-piece band is full of life. Russell Leal, the lead singer, who also plays flute, saxophone and guitar as he dances around the stage. He gets people to get up and dance and performs in the middle of them with his wireless microphone. It was an amazing show. There was even a guy sitting up on the hillside above Shade with a cooler watching the show.

The food was great as was the service. Great place to stop if you are out on the East Cape of Los Cabos.

EXTRA LARGE AT SHADE AT LA FORTUNA ON THE EAST CAPE. Extra Large is a band from Santa Cruz, California. Valerie and Russell, the front of the band are retired teachers and own a home in Shipwrecks on the East Cape. The band has six members - Valerie on Percussion and Vocals, Russell on flute, saxophone, guitar and vocals, Dan on a portable keyboard and vocals, Dave on lead guitar, Sandman on rhythm guitar, and Killer on drums. In all the shows, that I have seen, I have never seen Valerie without a smile on her face. Russell dances on stage, urges the audience to get up and dance, and even wanders through the crowd with a wireless microphone. Their repertoire is wide. The songs often have a reggae beat to them, whether a classic rock hit or an original tune. If you haven't seen Extra Large live, you are missing a great time.

As Extra Large is so much fun, here is them performing "Fun" at Shade at La Fortuna. Enjoy!

LA PERLA CONDOMINIUMS TODOS SANTOS. Humberto Avilez, designed our condos at Santas Y Santos on the eastern edge of Todos Santos. His brother, Hector Avilez was responsible for managing the actual construction of the condominium complex. With this project in its final stages, the Avilez brothers today announced the next project - La Perla Condominiums. Located just around the corner from Santas Y Santos, La Perla is a four-unit condominium complex of two-bedroom and two-bath condos, which are approximately 925 square feet. This three-story building has two units on each of the first two floors and roof top decks on the top floor. The units on the second and third floor roof top have views of the Pacific Ocean off to the west and promise to have great sunset views. Each unit has an outdoor parking space for one vehicle.

A central staircase leads to each floor. The kitchen, dining, and living room are in the front of each unit. The primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom is at the back of the unit, with the second bedroom in front of it. The second bathroom is separate and can be used by both guests and the occupants of the second bedroom. The design is modern Mexican with tile floors in the living room, kitchen, hallway and bedrooms. There is a laundry room off of the main hallway. The first floor units have a large patio out the back of the unit. All units have access to one half of the rooftop decks on the building. The pergola on the rooftops is an add on feature not included in the price.

These two-bedroom and two-bath units are extremely reasonably priced at $167,000 US. Comparable condos in Todos Santos are as much as double this price.

The construction is currently underway with the foundation completed and the initial walls being added at this time. The design and quality of the construction would allow for HOA members to build a pool and more on the rooftop decks. For more information contact Hector Avilez on WhatsApp at +52 1 624 174 1409.

BREAKFAST AT GEORGE'S AT LA MARINA INN. I wanted to meet friends from Shipwrecks on the East Cape for breakfast. Since Buzzard's Bar and Grill closed, it is hard to find a reasonable place for breakfast on the East Cape. Most restaurants with breakfast are in hotels or more expensive like Flora Farms or Acre. We decided to meet at George's at La Marina Inn in La Playita Across from El Ganzo Hotel. The dining room is outdoors beside the swimming pool and very pleasant.

The menu offers a good selection of both Mexican and American Breakfast choices. Select from Burritos, Chilaquiles, Huevos Ranchero, Enchiladas, Traditional Machaca or your favorite omelets, Eggs Benedict, pancakes, French Toast, or lighter items like Avocado Toast or a Fruit Bowl. We each ordered our favorite breakfast drink - coffee, orange juice, and a green drink, while reviewing the menu. Claude decided on the Huevos Ranchero; Ethan, the Fisherman's Breakfast and I chose the Eggs Benedict. The Fisherman's Breakfast offers the choice of scrambled or poached eggs and the meat side of your choice and is served with hash browns.

We sat and chatted while waiting for our food and enjoyed the early morning sun. Our selections were served and every one was quiet for a while as we dug into our breakfasts. Overall, the dishes were good (but not great). The hollandaise on the Eggs Benedict was a little thin. The service was very good, the atmosphere very pleasant and the prices very reasonable. Most of the items on the menu are under $200 pesos (or less than $10 US). The Eggs Benedict was the most expensive item on the menu at $289 pesos. Ethan had recently been there for dinner and was very pleased.

Guillermo performs with a wireless microphone while walking through the restaurant. The choice of songs and the level of the music was perfect for the location.

DON SANCHEZ TABLESIDE CAESAR SALAD. There is absolutely nothing as good as a traditional Caesar Salad prepared tableside. Making the Caesar dressing from scratch with egg yolks, anchovy, garlic, olive oil, lime, and carefully mixing them all together is a sight to behold. After completing the dressing each of the leaves of Romaine lettuce was rub through the dressing. The server at Don Sanchez on Blvd Mijares in San Jose del Cabo did an absolutely amazing job. We ordered two Caesar salads that were plated and shared between the four of us, they were excellent.

The History Leading to Enjoy Los Cabos Life

Having been a part-time resident of Los Cabos since 1992, we have seen tremendous changes to the region. In the early days, roads were washed out every year; there were few places to shop and even the restaurants were limited. Now, Los Cabos is truly an international resort destination. For those of us who live here many of the difficulties of day-to-day living are gone. Costco, Home Depot, Walmart and great grocery stores have arrived. Some don’t like the development but tourism has brought many benefits to Los Cabos.

We decided to launch Enjoy Los Cabos Life because there really are few outlets that provide much more than listings of where to go and what to do. Much of the information has also focused primarily on Cabo San Lucas rather than all five regions of Los Cabos - The East Cape, San Jose del Cabo, the Corridor between San Jose and Cabo San Lucas, Cabo San Lucas and the Pacific side including Todos Santos. Over time, we hope to be able to provide good information, photos, videos and interviews that will showcase the places, people and lifestyles available in Los Cabos. We hope to launch a full website (enjoyloscaboslifestyle.com) late in 2019. If you have comments and suggestions, please email us at [email protected]
