I'm here on business and we came here after working a long day. I ordered the blackened grouper taco which was very good and flavorful. Only downfall is that the waiter was not knowledgeable on the drinks, when asking for recommendations between the two it wasn't helpful. Overall I would go back and try something else on the menu! read more

My wife and I enjoyed a meal here while traveling through Blacksburg. We were very impressed with our entrees and appetizer. There was an impressive amount of attention paid to the small details. .. the sides, sauces etc were all very good. Service was quick and attentive. Overall highly recommended! read more

Great price. Great food. Carne asada steak taco is my favorite. Waitress was very nice. after five minutes the stools gets old, very uncomfortable. Other than that place is great, food is awesome. read more

Cabo Fish Taco - Mexican Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Food is amazing, and it's always the first place I want to eat when I visit the Burg. But never order their Skinny Rita...I asked for it without the Splenda (gross, and that's not a skinny Rita!)..the bartender pushed me to the Sourpatch and assured me it was just a "splash" of sour mix and a skinny Rita...that drink was ALL sour mix! Love the chicken Serrano salad and any fish taco though!!! read more

Ordered delivery. Food was really good. Looking forward to going to the restaurant for date night!

The best restaraunt in Blacksburg! Have literally never had a bad experience here. The food is always top notch and the atmosphere is amazing. My favorite dish is the soy ginger tacos - they are to die for. The only time I was slightly disappointed was when my mashed potatoes were cold and that was because I was with a group of 15 so I let it slide. Highly recommend!! read more

One of our favorite places, food is delicious! We love tacos and quesadilla the most, highly recommend

Absolutely amazing!! Food is great and service is quick everytime. Their shrimp tacos are the best.

Not a huge fan of Cabo. I want to like the restaurant because their environment is fun and constantly changing; but their food tastes like it was made awhile ago and has been sitting in their fridge. We've given the restaurant 2 tries thus far and didn't really like it either time. read more

Great place for truly delicious shrimp and fish tacos. Great blend of flavors, excellent service and cool atmosphere. Very pleasant experience and highly recommend it. We are from Texas so tacos are a staple for us and Cabo's hit the spot! read more

Love this place while visiting in Blacksburg! Great selection of tacos and other menu items. Chips and corn salsa are great for the table. I had the grilled serrano chicken tacos and they were a little spicier than I expected, thanks to the white cilantro sauce, so ask if you're not sure how spicy you want them! The side pasta salad is amazing. We have also had the tofu, salmon and tuna from the specialties taco menu. The margaritas are awesome and it's great sitting outside when it's nice out! Just make sure that if you have a large party, you allow time since it's so popular, but they will text you when you're up! Enjoy Cabo!! read more

Great time visiting with Virginia and having late lunch with her and Bertie. I had the Yellow fin tuna burrito and it was great. We also had a crab and shrimp appetizer that was good as well. Nice to get into the city once in a while. read more

I don't understand how others rated this place so highly. First impressions, I thought the place had a great location, full bar, and outdoor seating that is just lovely on a day like the day I ate there. Unfortunately, this place is just crap when it comes to service and although ingredients appear to be fresh, there is a total lack of imagination and spice. I really feel for the young college students who serve as wait staff and have to put up with a completely inept kitchen. We waited nearly an hour to receive two dishes. I really wish the food was worth the wait, calamari was sub-par and the mahi mahi burrito was drenched in a mayonnaise based sauce that smacked of laziness on the part of the cooking staff that prides itself on "fresh ingredients". To make matters worse, the dinner did not sit well... so I think I am being generous giving Cabo Fish Taco two stars. In a bigger city CBT would struggle to survive. read more

The food is decent, but there's nothing exceptional or interesting about it. It's a shame that the menu isn't a little more interesting. When I go, I get the bbq mahi tacos or the epic tuna burrito, which are two of the better items on the menu. They do have good margaritas, and a huge tequila list. They also have a pretty nice patio outside, so it's a great place to go in the summer with friends for margaritas. read more

Just went there wth my daughter as we were visiting VA TECH, and I prepared myself and her for slow service...based on the reviews I had read here. WRONG!!!! Great service! Great food! The only reason for the 4 stars is because I was not a fan of the BBQ sauce on the fish tacos. But the Ginger Soy Shrimp taco....5 stars alll the way...throw some hot sauce and lime on it and man look out. I had no problem with this place what so ever. read more

Quick review Came here while visiting friends at VTech. It was lunch time on a Friday so it wasn't busy. I didn't explore the entire restaurant but it looked like a chill place for the night crowd. I enjoyed the BBQ Mahi tacos with the blacks beans and rice. Will definitely eat here again the next time i'm in town! read more

Being from out of town, we were directed to try this place. I was very happy. The ambience was nice, the service was phenomenal, and the food was great. The food is rather simple, but it was delicious, fresh, and very flavorful. I would certainly return if I were in the area again! I split the tavarau tuna tacos and the Mahi Mahi tacos with my coworker and enjoyed them both. I would highly recommend the tuna tacos. They bordered being a little too sweet for my taste with the honey wasabi sauce, but the tuna was cooked perfectly and the homemade flour tortillas are on point. read more

Awesome food! Love the Halibut tacos! Place gets a bit crowded during lunch, so come early. Will definitely be back. read more

Cabo Fish Taco - Great food - Mexican Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Cabo was a great place for lunchtime tacos. We went during VT's Spring Break, so it wasn't too busy; the wait staff was pleasant, attentive, and laughed at my stupid jokes (bless them). We started with guac and a variety of salsas (when you order guac, they give you the whole flight of toppings, including a tomato salsa, onions, etc). Those were very good. I had the grilled lemon shrimp tacos - they were fantastic, with just a touch of heat to spice things up. The shrimps were generous, and the tacos were a good amount of food. My husband had a BBQ taco which he also loved. All in all, well worth it for a nice lunch (and I'm sure a good dinner too). read more

the food is delicious and the service is incredible. The drink menu is soooo long and dank! Okay but one thing--- THE SIDES. Are . SO. MEH. How can you serve me a sexy delicious shrimp taco with the blandest side in the effing world!!!!! Otherwise 10/10 read more

Had lunch here for the first time on a Friday with our son and his girlfriend. Super cool vibe. Seated right away. Our server was Marcella, who was attentive, had a bright personality and gave great menu recommendations. Food came out amazingly fast. The tavarua tuna tacos were some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. My wife enjoyed the soy ginger shrimp tacos. The tortilla chips they served were better than you get at most Mexican restaurants and had just the right amount of salt for my taste. The fresh guacamole was good but had a little too much lime juice for me. Will definitely go back next time we're in Blacksburg. read more

Great food and margaritas! One of my favorite spots in Blacksburg and I continuously go there. They have very consistent service and food. I highly recommend getting the jalapeño cheddar mashers as they add a cult favorite among the college community. I also love the mahi bbq tacos. Don't forget taco Tuesday!!!! read more

Passing through Blacksburg we saw the positive reviews for Cabo. Glad we carried out. Delicious garlic shrimp tacos with a wonderful avocado salad. My wife enjoyed her fish tacos and mashed potatoes. You will not be disappointed. read more

I just spent 31 dollars on 3 tacos, 1/2 a calamari, and queso. Do not come here. The tacos were okay, the queso was nasty as well as the salsa. Again do not come here it is not worth it. The reviews were very misleading! read more

This is one of the most accredited restaurants in the Blacksburg area. I love the blackened fish taco and the calamari tacos. The only reason I am hesitant to give this company 5 stars is the Taco Tuesday deal. They advertise that all the tacos are half off however many of the fish and steak tacos are not included. Aside from that everything about the business is wonderful and a must stop when in the Blacksburg area. read more

The tacos here are absolutely out of this world! I'm from out of state and I would travel just for the crab dip and Calamari tacos! They have a great alcohol menu and wonderful staff! read more

This place is always disappointing. The drinks are mediocre, the food is a weird combination of Mexican, Tex-Mex and southwest Virginia and the atmosphere can't decide whether it's catering to undergrads or families. Whenever I decide to give it another chance, I regret it. read more

The service was incredible and our waiter was very knowledgeable with the menu. I forgot our waiter's name but he was tall and skinny. But the food was delicious! I will be returning when I come back read more

Cabo never disappoints. Their tacos are jam-packed with flavor and the jalapeño cheddar mashers are to die for!!! The servers are so friendly and make the experience even better. The restaurant is small and fills up fast so make sure you get there early! :-) read more

This place is amazing - order the shrimp garlic buffalo taco, super spicy& super good. There are plenty of options that aren't fish Including some vegetarian options like a tofu taco. The service was really great and we got our food really fast. We were rushed out, however, which was a shame but is understandable due to the popularity of the place! Would recommend to anyone! read more

This place is great for a lunch date or catching drinks with a friend after work. A fish taco isn't a common food in this south but Cabo makes you wonder why you never tried it before. All the food is made to order except the corn salsa. They keep those pre made for you to munch on with chips while you wait for your food. I love the margaritas!!! They pair perfect with the tacos!! My favorite tacos are the soy ginger shrimp tacos!!! The white sauce made to drizzle over or dip your taco is literally the icing on the taco. there is normally a taco soup of the day the helpful staff will share. Cabo is my go to spot when friends and family come to visit because it is out of the box. read more

My fiancé and I visited Cabo Fish Taco for the first time today for lunch and enjoyed it so much. From the laid back atmosphere and music, to the delicious food, and excellent service. We ordered the crab and shrimp dip as an appetizer and it was amazing. I ordered the blackened grouper tacos with the guacamole pasta salad and my fiancé ordered the buffalo garlic shrimp with jalapeño cheddar mashed potatoes and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We cannot wait to visit again. read more

Cabo Fish Taco - Mexican Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

See all

Cran and shrimp dip was good, the pita triangles freshly made to dip it were out of this world. Banging shrimp tacos were filling and a great flavor. Service was excellent. Would recommend! read more

Blacksburg is definitely a college town, and the food options tend to cater to students. Although choices in the area may be somewhat limited, it is always appreciated to have a solid taco spot and some dangerously easy drinking beverages at very generous prices. Cabo Fish Taco fills the void, making the perfect place to celebrate after exams, or to go just because you're craving a margarita. Cabo Fish Taco, despite its name has a pretty wide range of Mexican food (and taco fillings). Chips and salsa are delivered to every table, but there are "Small Stuff" such as their house made guacamole or "Baja Shrimp & Crab Dip" that can kick the standard chip dip up a notch. Also, although the menu advertises flour tortillas, I'd like to note you can ask to upgrade to corn tortillas should you so desire, for $1 extra. As an adamant advocate for corn over flour, I'd say it is well worth the investment- I just wish the option was more visible on the menu so it wasn't necessary to ask. Also, thanks to the tip from a local we were dining with...you can mix and match the taco types, so you don't have to commit to one particular variety for the two that come with a typical order. As to be expected from the Baja-style they advertise, they beer batter everything from calamari to shrimp to tofu. I think their specialty tacos are where they really shine though. Although the sauce was a bit sweeter than expected, I really like the soy ginger shrimp tacos (Beer battered shrimp tossed in a Soy Ginger Glaze, served with cabbage, tomato, avocado, and mixed cheese, and finished with sesame seeds and scallions). Don't forget to grab a drink to wash down those tacos either. Happy hour seems to be quite kind, going from 3pm to 9pm and offering discounts on already fair drink prices. They've got a decent list of margarita options too, all of which can be served on the rocks or blended. My favorite was the "The Original Caborita" (Made with Jose Cuervo especial Tequila, Triple-Sec, OJ, and fresh house mix) since the others were a bit too sweet for my palate. So if you're visiting Virginia Tech, or just because you're passing through Blacksburg, consider grabbing a cheap and tasty meal at Cabo Fish Taco. read more

Best place in blacksburg! Tacos are to die for and the taco tuesday deal is great for any student looking to eat great food on a budget if they're running low on meal plan money read more

One of my usual spots in Blacksburg... Best tequila bar in town! The workman's margarita is my favorite. Some of the fried tacos can be a little greasy at times. They have changed their chicken burrito from already wrapped to wrap yourself, which I don't like. The chips and salsa they bring are good. One of the few places that brings corn salsa instead of tomato based salsa to tables. I dearly miss Cabo!! read more

I love cabo. Depending how busy it is they will not fry the calamari for the tacos. When it's a slower day usually during the week I will get the calamari taco. If it's the weekend I will get a taco with a different kind of fish. Their food is amazing. The only downside to this place is the wait on busy nights. read more

Loved this place. Attended over winter break with 6 people, including 3 kids and a grandmother. Local students were at the bar watching hoops. Menu was awesome, but all of the fish tacos tasted surprising similar. Thumbs up. read more
