Anytime you make your way to Los Cabos, you can expect its geography to astonish you. Here, you never have to choose between oceans and desert mountains. Both bring a breeze that is always fresh and unfailingly vibrant sunsets.
And then, of course, there’s the food.
The culinary scene in the southernmost tip of the Baja California Peninsula is diverse and delectable. Visit in October, and you will witness the autumn harvest arriving in quiet abundance. Savor it fully at Del Mar Los Cabos.
Los Cabos enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year. In October, the intense summer heat begins to dissipate, and temperatures gradually drop into the low 80s. The nights still carry that balmy air, but they hint at what the next season promises.
October dining in Los Cabos means taking full advantage of the autumn bounty. The freshest catch from the Sea of Cortés, including fresh fish, graces dishes, paired with earthy, locally grown vegetables and herbs such as pumpkin, squash, and sweet corn.
From soups and stews to modern interpretations of beloved Mexican classics, you will be nourished.
The month also connects food, heritage, and emotion. During the Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, feasts honor the remarkable blend of Indigenous and European roots.
Preparations for Día de los Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead, begin. The UNESCO-declared heritage celebration glorifies the spirits of loved ones with joy rather than sorrow. It expresses that mortality is a guest, not a stranger.
At Del Mar Los Cabos, we take this regional authenticity and enrich it with contemporary luxury. We guarantee that fusion in the cuisine we master, the services we offer, and the spaces we welcome you into.
What defines the flavors of Baja in October? Here are three dishes to look forward to.
Pulpo al Pastor, tender octopus grilled and marinated with achiote and citrus, is a coastal twist on a Mexican favorite.
Taste Los Cabos in autumn through Pumpkin Blossom Quesadillas. Each handmade tortilla folds over local calabaza flowers and soft, fresh cheeses. The blossoms have a gentle flavor; they reveal a silky, tender, and subtle texture when cooked.
October would be incomplete without Pan de Muerto, the traditional “bread of the dead” placed on altars during Día de los Muertos. This sweet, fragrant loaf is flavored with orange zest and anise, baked in round form with bone-shaped decorations.
The rich flavors of Baja in October also inspire a collection of drinks as expressive as the dishes.
As the nights start to cool, find comfort in the Spiced Mezcal Old Fashioned. This smoky beverage is made with mezcal, bitters, agave, and autumnal spices, meant to be sipped slowly until you feel the warmth embrace you.
If October is the month of Pumpkin Blossom Quesadillas, it should also be the time for Pumpkin Horchata, a creamy, cinnamon-laced rice drink with a kiss of pumpkin puree. It is non-alcoholic and utterly seasonal with a distinctly Baja flair.
What about sophistication in Los Cabos cuisine? Baja California’s wines continue to surprise and delight, as the peninsula’s northern region harbors a Mediterranean climate that nurtures bold, expressive varieties. We recommend the Monte Xanic Cabernet Franc Edición Limitada and the Inspiración Coco Nebbiolo–Merlot, two bottles that represent Baja’s evolution in viticulture.
