November’s Autumn Harvest – Flavors of Los Cabos

There’s something special about November in Los Cabos. The weather cools just enough to make evenings cozy, and the kitchens across the region shift into autumn mode. At Del Mar, we embrace this time of year with dishes and moments that bring people together, from crisp seasonal ingredients to shared meals under the stars.

What’s Fresh in November

November is a delicious time to be in Baja. Local chefs lean into comfort cooking, combining traditional recipes with the bright, bold flavors that make this region so distinct. You’ll find plenty of seasonal squash, root vegetables, sweet corn, and prickly pear on menus, all paired with fresh seafood like Dorado, Wahoo, and Striped Marlin.

From your villa kitchen to the table at Club Ninety Six, every meal feels like a celebration of Baja’s fall harvest.

A Few Seasonal Standouts:

Roasted Root Vegetables with Spiced Yogurt: Rustic, refined, and grounding. The roasted root vegetables are paired with spiced yogurt for a creamy, tangy contrast. Whether it’s carrots, beets, or potatoes, each plate expresses the warmth and soul of Baja.

Baja-Style Grilled Fish with Salsa Verde: Fresh, local fish grilled to perfection over an open flame and topped with tangy tomatillo salsa.

Birria de Res: A rich, slow-simmered beef stew that’s packed with spice and served with warm tortillas and a flavorful consommé.

Sweet Corn Tamales (Tamales de Elote): A comforting Baja classic, tamales de elote are made from freshly grated sweet corn blended into a smooth masa and gently steamed in corn husks. Lightly sweet with a natural creaminess, they’re soft, warm, and subtly fragrant.

Drinks to Match the Season

Cooler evenings call for something cozy (or fun). Here are some favorites our guests love in November:

Cinnamon-Spiced Coffee: Perfect for cool mornings or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Mulled Wine: Red wine, brandy, and spices, served warm, it’s a relaxing way to unwind at the end of the day.

Tamarind Margarita: A sweet-and-tangy twist on a classic that still feels tropical.

Prickly Pear Agua Fresca: Refreshing, colorful, and a little unexpected, just like Los Cabos.

Where to Enjoy It All

At Del Mar Los Cabos, you can enjoy these seasonal flavors just the way you like. Want a private dinner in your villa? Our concierge team will arrange everything. Dining out? Try Café Espíritu, Club Ninety Six, or nearby restaurants at The Shoppes at Palmilla, which are just a golf cart ride away. There’s no shortage of delicious experiences.

November at Del Mar: The Season Comes Alive

November signals the start of high season here in Los Cabos—and at Del Mar, that means more than just perfect weather. It’s a time when the energy shifts, our community fills with familiar faces, and the rhythm of the season settles in. The days are warm, the evenings are lively, and the calendar begins to fill with shared moments and seasonal traditions.

Thanksgiving week is especially meaningful at Del Mar. It marks the return of many of our homeowners and serves as our unofficial kickoff to the season. Whether you’re hosting an intimate family dinner in your villa, welcoming friends back with cocktails at Club Ninety Six, or simply soaking up the Baja sun from your patio, November is all about reconnecting—with loved ones, with neighbors, and with the place you call home away from home.

As always, contact our team to make your stay effortless—whether you’re arriving this month or planning ahead for the upcoming holidays.
