Mi Casa Restaurant - Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos,
México.
Welcome to Mi Casa Restaurant
One look
around Mi Casa and you can see they
take obvious pride in their work.
Great restaurants should always be
about more than just the food they
serve. Great restaurants become
great because they entice all the
senses, not just the sense of taste.
Walking
through the front door of Mi Casa
you get the feeling that you're in
for something special.
First,
your eyes are treated to display
after display of Mexican art works.
Dia de los Muertos figures, adorned
in garb that would make any Mardi
Gras or Carnivale regular jealous,
sit upon shelfs with myriad Mexican
handicrafts. Paintings depicting old
Mexico and the people that make up
the culture hang from adobe walls
basted in ages-old patina.
Native plants and
flowers pop out from everywhere and
lifesize murals tell stories of what
Cabo San Lucas was like way back
when.
Next, your ears take
notice of the music that rolls out
from the various dining areas, each
with their own unique names....
Chimineas, Fuentes, Carretas (horse
drawn carriages).
Some of the music
comes over the restaurant's stereo
system, but more often than not, the
music comes from a much more
authentic source.... live musicians.
As five or six different groups or
soloists wandering in day and night. If the music stops, it's quickly
replaced with the sound of birds
that take refuge from the heat to
sing a few songs of their own added
to the mix of musicians that stroll
the grounds are street performers
like Mr. Rigo who travels the town
with his "fortune-telling" canaries,
but it is nonetheless unique and
stacks up as one more reason to
visit Mi Casa clown team, Mickey and
Mika, and a beautiful Mexican dancer
rounded out the evenings
entertainment.
Watching them perform
we saw firsthand how they're able to
coax giggles and wide-eyed adoration
for their talents from even the
stiffest of guests.
