YAYA is a vibrant dining destination at Chileno Bay Resort & Residences, offering a unique fusion of Mediterranean culinary influences with the colorful flavors of Latin American cuisine. Named affectionately after the term used for grandmothers in both Mediterranean and Latin American cultures, YAYA invites guests into a convivial dining room and lush open patios. At its heart, an open hearth kitchen showcases fresh, seasonal ingredients and artisanal preparation, expressing a passion for live-fire cooking traditions passed down through generations.
Helmed by Chef Eliana Godinez, the restaurant emphasizes a female-led vision that honors both indulgence and nourishment using local, organic produce. The menu evolves with the seasons, combining the rich cooking techniques of Mexico and Italy’s Mediterranean region. Complementing the culinary experience is an innovative beverage program led by mixologist Yared Alba, highlighting feminine flavors and supporting female creators in the industry.
YAYA features an easygoing vibe and authentic flavors, serving lunch and dinner in an air-conditioned space that overlooks the resort’s iconic three-tiered infinity pool and the Sea of Cortés. The setting is both a cool respite and a celebration of life by the sea, making it a standout culinary experience in Los Cabos.
