Frommer's Highly Recommended

Asian food is hard to come by in Los Cabos, and Baan Thai -- set in one of San José's lovely historic buildings -- does an impressive job of innovating these flavors to incorporate a hint of Mexico in this exceptional restaurant, under the direction of chef/owner Carl Marts. Move beyond such traditional starters as spring rolls or satay to one of Baan Thai's more unique offerings, such as blue crab stir-fried with chile, garlic, and tomatoes, or mild chilies stuffed with smoked marlin and served with a soy-ginger dipping sauce. From there, move on to entrees such as wok-tossed salmon; steamed Baja mussels in a coconut-herb broth; or seared steak tossed with mangos, green apples, and chiles. An impressive wine list and full bar service are available to complement your meal. Air-conditioned indoor dining, as well as outdoor dining, in an exotic garden patio, is available.
