Tlseege, yes, the prices listed on thier website is in pesos! I don't think there's a tortilla soup in the world that's worth $50!

Edith's is located on Camino a Playa, just up the hill from Melia San Lucas, and up from the water from The Office. It looks like it is also caddy-corner from Bahia Condos. The website has a map, but I'm not much more help than that! I know it's always either the first or second street on the left when coming from the Corridor, but I can't remember if it's the same street as Lenny's Deli or not.

We had our initial site inspection on Saturday, April 21, 2007 at 7:00PM. We will be using Mi Casa for our rehearsal dinner for approximately 100 guests. Our group of 6 was promptly ushered to the newer portion of the restaurant, past the main open-air area, into the lower portion of the next patio. While there was some initial confusion about our meeting with Mauricio, everything worked out well. Mauricio wasn’t there when we arrived, so we were a little unsure of whether he was going to show or not, but our waiter kept assuring us he would arrive eventually. Apparently there was another bride & groom meeting with Mauricio that evening who had changed their wedding dates which now was conflicting with another party, so there was some confusion as to what group we belonged. After Mauricio arrived, everything was straightened out. He is young, but spoke great English and we were able to communicate easily. I believe he is the group coordinator for all of the Mi Casa-owned restaurants, Peacock’s, Mi Casa del Mariscos, etc. One thing to note about Mi Casa’s group events – your numbers can change up to 72 hours prior to the event, which is ideal for an event which has an ever-changing head count. Anticipating approximately 100 guests, we decided to reserve the newest portion of the restaurant, which is adjacent to the area in which we dined. With iron gates as the entry, it allows a group to have its own area without intruding upon the general guests of the restaurant. The area we have chosen has its own bar and kitchen, and its own restrooms. Another plus for the area, it has a large media screen and a projector which runs on a DVD, with surround sound. This will work perfectly for our slideshow that will be showing after dinner. The screen is actually placed towards the ceiling, so from any location within the area, our guests will be able to see the screen, rather than having to sit uncomfortably or tilt their heads to get a good view. Now, onto the food. Knowing what the group packages consist of, I tried to make sure my table ordered one of everything that we would be serving our guests. We added a few appetizers, specifically the marlin quesadillas which were outstanding. The tortilla soup was perfect, not too heavy. El Mole Poblano, is a chicken dish smothered with mole sauce. Honestly, I was a little worried about this dish, thinking we might want to substitute it for a more “normal†chicken dish for those picky guests. But after tasting it, there is no way it’s coming off the menu – it was fabulous. Our guests can order it with the mole on the side if they’re that picky! The Filet de Res was delicious and spicy, perfectly cooked steak with tender new potatoes. But the best meal by far was the Carne Asada. My father brilliantly proclaimed that it was the best carne asada he has ever had! It is served with an enchilada which will be overshadowed by the delicious steak. No one ordered the fish in banana leaf, but I’ve had that before on another visit and loved it. Being that we were on an official site visit, we decided also that it would only be fair to our guests to try out the desserts we might be providing. What a tough job! We ordered Flan, Tres Leches, Sweet Rice and the ice cream dish. By far, the Tres Leches was the overall winner. The cake was moist and sweet but not overpowering. Next came the Flan, which was much denser and heavier than our flan at Edith’s, but I personally liked it better. Ice cream is ice cream and was delicious in a sweet shell. And the sweet rice, which was our favorite last visit, came in last place – probably solely due to its competition. The atmosphere at Mi Casa is always entertaining. The mariachis play, the colors are vibrant and the wait staff is always pleasant. It’s a perfect place to host a group event, and it’s wonderfully casual. There are a ton of pictures on their website, and I am happy to share actual pictures of the area we have reserved with anyone who is interested.

So this isn’t really an official site review, just a generic review of the restaurant. It happens to be my favorite restaurant in all of Los Cabos. We dined at Edith’s on Friday, April 20, 2007 at 8:00pm. Edith’s was just as I remembered – upbeat atmosphere, on-point wait staff, and outstanding food. I made reservations a month in advance, and I’m glad I did. After being in Cabo over Christmas in 2006, we were unable to get a reservation the entire time we were in Cabo – they were booked through January! So this time, I thought ahead and made sure we would be able to get in. The restaurant wasn’t too crowded when we arrived, we sat under the large palapa for the first time, closer to the kitchen. Our waiters were wonderful, always cracking a joke and very attentive. By the time we left at around 9:30PM, there was a line out the door waiting to get a table. But the food is what keeps bringing us back year after year. Tortilla soup is always a great starter, and the shrimp bisque was decadent. But no matter what, I always order a steak at Edith’s. In my opinion, it blows away any other steak I’ve ever had – even the prime restaurants in the US. My chipotle steak was salty & seared on the outside, and just melted on the inside. The chipotle sauce was delicious, with a soft heat that complimented the steak perfectly. I did try a bit of the catch of the day, sea bass, which was perfectly cooked. Prepared Vera Cruz style, the sea bass was flaky and moist, not overcooked like usual. The peppers and sauce smothered the fish for a wonderful addition. For dessert, flan. Creamy and light, Edith’s flan is one of the best. You’re probably wondering why I’m bothering putting a review of a restaurant on this website. Edith’s can only accommodate groups up to 60 people, so we can’t use them for any of our wedding events (like the rehearsal dinner), so we have decided to take our parents, grandparents and siblings to Edith’s the evening before our wedding guests arrive. This will allow us to say “thanks†to our family for all of their support and let us enjoy a quiet, fabulous meal with our closest family. My only complaint is this: Edith’s used to have the best view of the sunset that I have known. Unfortunately, there is a condo/hotel development going up directly across the street which seems to now block the majority of the view Edith’s once enjoyed. A minor annoyance at best. But if you’re ever in Cabo and have never been to Edith’s, check it out. It’s one of the most expensive, but it’s still my favorite. Oh, and they now offer online reservations, which is very convenient for planning in advance!

Has anyone either used Deja-Vu for an event, seen them live, heard anything about them, etc? We are thinking about using them as our entertainment for our reception, but I haven't found many reviews. We are going to Cabo this weekend, and will hopefully get to sneak a peak at one of their events at the Hilton (they said we could!) so I was just curious what others have experienced. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! lvpbride, I have contacted Elena via email but have not heard back either! Arg! I sent an inquiry to the "weddings" email, heard nothing, so I now have sent an email directly to the "Los Cabos" email and Elena's! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will hear something today! Worst case scenario, I'll drop by to at least get a feel for her shop! I'll keep you posted for you, and post reviews when I return!

Nini+_Bride, I hope I didn't sound weird saying that we have been to Cabo before, I just meant that we love it so much, it was only natural to get married there! Let me see if I can answer: We leave on Friday (two days) for the site visit, just for the weekend...I know, such a painfully short trip! But it should be enough time to meet with FA and do some preliminary planning! We're not using the timeshare for the resort for two reasons, 1.) we've already used our time this year!, and 2.) since it's sort of separate from the rest of the resort, we want to make sure we'll be with our guests as much as possible! So we're going to stay in the regular part of the resort, and save our timeshare for New Years! I will definitely post reviews and anything that might help when I return. I've been trying to set up a meeting with Elena Damy, but I haven't been able to get in contact with anyone. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can touch base tomorrow! We are going to have our rehearsal dinner at Mi Casa, so we're going there for dinner on Saturday to confirm the space, pricing negotiations, etc. Plus I'm looking forward to a meal at Mi Casa, it's always delish! We're also going to Edith's on Friday night for dinner, since we're thinking about taking our immediate family to dinner there for those that arrive early. Ediths' is by far my favorite restaurant in Los Cabos, and we couldn't get in over Christmas - they were totally booked! I guess word has spread so much that we'll make sure to have reservations from now on months in advance! Thanks for the warm welcome, I'll be sure to post a visit summary!

Hello BDW! Just thought I woudl say Hello! to everyone! I am getting married on November 17, 2007 at the Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos. I can't believe I just found this website...at least I've found the location, now I'll pick your brain for the rest of the planning! I'm going to Cabo this weekend for a site visit, so any input or thoughts is appreciated! I'm pretty familiar with Cabo in general, we have a timeshare at the Fiesta Americana and have been going there for five years, but I'm not very familiar about vendors, etc and I'm always looking for new ideas! Looking forward to making some new Cabo friends!
