2026 Excellence Award Fairways & Agaves
Outstanding Agave Bar

Edith's Restaurant

Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur

"For maintaining Los Cabos' most comprehensive tequila program—over 400 expressions—while preserving authentic Mexican hospitality for three decades."

— Fairways & Agaves Excellence Award Citation, 2026

The Verdict

Why Edith's Restaurant Earned This Recognition

Longevity in the hospitality industry proves nothing by itself—some establishments persist through inertia rather than merit. Edith's represents a different model: three decades of sustained excellence, with a tequila program that has grown more comprehensive rather than coasting on reputation. The selection of over 400 expressions is not merely large; it is thoughtfully curated across every major category and price point.

The program spans the complete spectrum of agave production. Guests can explore blanco expressions from highland and lowland producers, compare reposados aged in different barrel types, and sample añejos and extra añejos with varying maturation profiles. Rare allocations from established distilleries sit alongside limited releases from smaller producers. This breadth allows Edith's to serve both newcomers seeking orientation and collectors searching for specific expressions.

Staff knowledge has accumulated across generations of service. Bartenders and servers can guide guests through production differences between NOM distilleries, explain the significance of tahona versus diffuser extraction, and recommend expressions matched to individual palates. This institutional expertise represents years of training and experience that newer establishments cannot replicate. The team approaches spirits education with genuine enthusiasm rather than scripted recitation.

The atmosphere maintains an authenticity that Cabo San Lucas' newer establishments often struggle to achieve. Open-fire cooking, traditional Mexican ingredients, and warm service create an environment that feels specifically of this place rather than transplanted from elsewhere. For visitors seeking an agave experience rooted in genuine local hospitality—not a concept bar or tourist-oriented performance—Edith's delivers with the confidence that comes from thirty years of practice.
