About
Ballena opened in late 2025 inside Casa Ballena, an art and cultural centre in the La Playa area east of San José del Cabo, on the road towards the East Cape. Operated by Grupo Hunan, it serves modern Mexican cuisine with international influences, using local seafood and produce. Coastal-inspired interiors give way to an outdoor patio and terrace with views over the coastline, and artworks are displayed across the grounds. It serves dinner nightly and suits couples and design-minded diners.
Early reviewers praise the art and architecture, warm hospitality and creative dishes such as avocado pizza and cactus-shaped churros, along with a strong wine list and cocktails. Ask staff about a short tour of the grounds. Reservations are recommended, and business casual dress is suggested. It is rated 4.7 on Google from 158 reviews.
