Chef Edgar Roman's Baja-Mexican fine dining in San Jose
Don Sanchez sits in the historic downtown art district of San Jose del Cabo, a fine-dining room led by chef-owner Edgar Roman, who has owned the restaurant since 2019. A remodel preserved one of the town's most historic buildings, and dinner is served open-air.
The cooking is contemporary Mexican, with an emphasis on regionally sourced seafood, locally raised meats and organic vegetables. The current menu runs from a catch of the day tiradito and grilled octopus with black recado to Sterling Silver beef brisket baked overnight in the wood-fired oven and a California chili stuffed with lobster.
The wine list is a genuine draw, leaning on Mexican and US labels with depth in mature vintages and Riedel glassware, backed by mezcal and tequila for those who want to explore beyond the bottle list. An air-conditioned cava seats up to eight for a private wine dinner with the chef.
Live music plays daily, and in 2025 The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences honored Don Sanchez and chef Roman with its International Five Star Diamond Award. Don Sanchez serves dinner nightly from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
