Container, Not Cantina, is the Name: Container Restaurant in Campestre San Jose, Mexico



The marina area being developed near San Jose del Cabo, Mexico has a fun and quirky restaurant made out of a shipping container.  I had asked a local to suggest a place for lunch in the area of Puerto Los Cabos.  I thought she said to try the "Cantina". Nope.  She said to try the "Container". It is a casual eatery along the marina, with a view of the yachts, the mountains, and the multiple construction projects at the base of the Puerto Los Cabos Golf development. The restaurant's kitchen and bar is in a shipping container whose side was pried open to serve the half dozen or so tables spread out in the cozy shaded area between it and the pier. The tortilla soup with a cold Pacifico beer was a scrumptious lunch.
