Lodge + Dine announces a 5-star rating for Jazmin’s Restaurant after a day’s visit evaluating the guest experience. The restaurant offers a vibrant atmosphere, traditional Mexican cuisine, and captivating live performances that will leave diners wanting more.
The first thing you notice isn’t just the scent of sizzling spices drifting through the air—it’s the pulse of celebration. Under the warm Cabo sun, where mariachi melodies float between bursts of laughter, this establishment radiates the soul of México. Since its humble beginnings in 1992 as a small coffee shop in the Tildillo neighborhood, the venue has blossomed into a cultural landmark. Founded by Araceli Villafuerte, the space has evolved into a haven for locals and travelers alike—one that showcases the diverse culinary heritage of the country with pride and passion.
Inside, rooms bloom with bright flowers while the outdoor patio bursts with rustic charm. String lights twinkle as twilight sets in, casting a golden glow over colorful murals and hand-painted tiles. Music is ever-present, not just from the band in the corner but from the heartbeat of the crowd. Families celebrate birthdays here; couples linger over dinner; friends cheer as dancers twirl gracefully between tables. The festive spirit is woven into every detail—from the soft candlelight to the vibrant wall art that echoes Mexico’s rich visual tradition.
Food is the foundation here, and each dish is a love letter to the regions of Mexico. The Cochinita Pibil arrives aromatic and tender—its achiote marinade infuses every bite with depth, balanced by sweet fried plantains and a zesty kick from the xnipec salsa. The Mexican Combo is a perfect sampler: creamy poblano pepper, crisp chicken tacos, and the satisfying crunch of a pressed pork rind sope—all anchored by fragrant rice and velvety guacamole. The Flank Steak Tacos come with smoky molcajete sauce and bursts of freshness from pico de gallo. For seafood lovers, the Pescado a la Veracruzana is delicate and savory, its melted Monterey Jack cheese adding indulgent richness. And vegetarians will love the sizzling Fajitas packed with earthy mushrooms and vibrant peppers—a dish that doesn’t miss the meat.
Desserts dazzle. The Churros arrive piping hot, dusted in cinnamon sugar with a side of silky chocolate. The Tres Leches Cake is a creamy cloud of sweetness—light yet satisfying, like a final toast to a flawless evening.
The bar program is equally dynamic. The Mango Margarita is a bright and tangy companion to the spice-laden dishes, while the Pina Colada offers a creamy, tropical escape, refreshing and indulgent in equal measure. Each drink complements the menu rather than competing with it.
Service is attentive and sincere. Staff members are quick to offer recommendations and accommodate special requests, though the pace can feel brisk during peak hours. Still, the warmth and attention linger long after the plates are cleared.
This establishment is ideal for celebratory dinners, cultural deep dives, or any evening when ambiance matters just as much as flavor. More than a meal, it’s a vibrant, memory-making experience. Here, under twinkling lights and the rhythm of tradition, the heart of México beats—one song, one dish, and one smile at a time.
