Tremendous tacos. You get two per order and one side. The sides are limited but different and interesting. I had the Blackened Lemon Ahi Tuna and a friend had the shrimp. The Ahi tuna in my tacos was done perfectly. It was blackened just right and most importantly, it was cooked just the way I like it (and exactly the way I think it should be). Honestly, I liked picking the tuna out of the taco and eating it directly so that the rest of the taco didn't mask any of the goodness. The shrimp tacos were reportedly very good as well. I had the avocado pasta salad. It was good, but I can't say that I noticed any avocado flavor. It was quite good. One friend had the rice and beans. It's black beans and rice and was reported to be very good. My other friend had the mashed potato side and said that it was very heavy on the jalapeno. Be warned. Generous refills were provided for the chips and salsa. The salsa is chunky and not well mixed. Once you get the tomatoes mixed in with the rest of the ingredients, it's a damn good salsa. There are a few jalapenos in there to kick things up just a bit. I didn't have any drinks, but the draft menu looked great, and they have an extensive cocktail and tequila menu. The interior is bigger than you'd think looking at it from the street. The place was clean. We had a party of 10 and were seated quickly and then had stellar service throughout the meal. This place is recommended when you're wandering around the quaint town of Roanoke and need a food fix. read more

Giving three services because the host was kind. But I wasn't a fan of the tacos and I wasn't a fan of the margarita I got either. My husband got their chicken tacos and he said the chicken tasted good but something was completely off about the white sauce. The rice and beans were okay as well. Overall, I have had better tacos in Roanoke and these were not it. The ambiance is super chill. It's not a fancy place so you can come in sweatpants and grab a taco for go as well. read more

While I can't say I have ever had fish tacos at a place that specializes in it, I can say my their fish tacos are the best I have had. It took them about 10 mins or so to prepare them, which was comforting to me. It came out fresh(wouldn't want fish prepared in advance). Lots of sauce. One suggestion I would give is bring a jacket, or is frigid inside Service was good and prompt. Cool ambiance. read more

We went here on a Sunday night based on a recommendation from a local. Short answer = it was really good. Prices are reasonable. Service was spot on. The place was clean and quiet for being in a pandemic. My wife got the Lemon Grilled Shrimp Tacos. I got the Carne Asada Tacos. Both were excellent. We couldn't finish and had to take home. The margaritas are excellent. Two entree's, one margarita and two glasses of wine. The bill was around 50. Totally reasonable. We'll be back. read more

Great (and long) happy hour! For under $30, we each got 2 rounds of margaritas and and appetizer of calamari. The drinks are good and strong and the squid rings were crispy. Chips and salsa also came on the side which helped soak up the amount of margs we drank! read more

Stale chips, cheese dip was like lumpy paste, the fish on the taco was in greasy nugget form (3 little chunks per taco), the avocado pasta salad had zero signs of avocados, never got a refill of water, and when paying the $42 tab with a $100 bill was asked if I needed change. read more

From fast service to friendly staff this restaurant is a must try in downtown Roanoke! We ordered the Queso Appetizer first which came with a house made picante side. It was so good! Then for dinner I had the Southwestern Wrap with a side of the jalapeño cheddar mash and my husband ordered the Cajun Fried Oyster Tacos. They also had an extensive margarita menu with a ton of flavors to suit every taste!! Both meals were excellently prepared and served fast! Overall we had a great dining experience and would definitely recommend this establishment. read more

We loved this place so much, we visited twice on our trip! They have excellent tacos, flowing chips and salsa, and large margaritas. The tortillas were delicious - I think they were fried? Our favorites included the soy ginger shrimp taco, the Buffalo ranch shrimp taco, and the cheddar mashers (potatoes) as a side. They have two small tables outside in front if you're looking for a patio. read more

Food was amazing. Flavor extravaganza! Loved the thin and salty chips, salsa had too much corn in it. I ordered the salmon tacos which were amazing. My hubby got the shrimp and asked me to give Cabo's a "5". Service was efficient enough to get us in and out (even with the jumbo Margarita ) within the hour that we had to pay to park. Ambiance is a little loud, casual, and fun. Large projector screens to watch the game on. Only complaint is too much corn in the salsa and not enough napkins. read more

Located in the old Metro! Restaurant this place is popular with the locals. The bar is well stocked with maybe twenty or so craft beer taps and a wide selection of mixed specialties. On bar alone I would rank this place 4 stars. The restaurant is extremely noisy when there's a crowd. The bartender had to yell to be heard and me back. Couldn't talk much with my guests. We started with the guacamole dip but it was blah. Perhaps a made from paste but not fresh. I wasn't impressed with the seafood tacos either. I had the buffalo garlic shrimp taco and my guest had the the grilled version. My taco was so soupy the shrimp all poured out so I ate it with a fork. The shrimp didn't taste all to fresh so I gave up after the first taco. Sorry, I really wanted to like this place but three stars is the best I can offer. read more

My wife and I were visiting Roanoke for the holidays. We stopped here for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had the chorizo queso for an appetizer. I had the salmon tacos with fried plantains as my side and my wife had the tuna tacos with avocado pasta as her side. Everything was delicious. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was freshly prepared but came out quick. We'll definitely eat here again when we're in the area. read more

Nice big bar with lots of specialty margaritas!! I had the Ahi tuna tacos, which were nicely seasoned and the right portion. I got the Mex slaw, which was ok, nothing special. I found the pepitas in it to be a bit annoying. Fried plantains were good, could have been a bit crispier. I had nice service from Shy, enjoyed myself and didn't spend much money, so all good. read more

Cabo Fish Taco - Nice big bar with lots of specialty margaritas!! - Tacos Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

I am giving a 2 simply because the waitress (sat us, served us, was making the alcoholic beverages, and more). She was excellent. Oh and she was 1/3 working in the seating side for the whole restaurant. Outside of that the food was horrendous. I have white fish tacos and there was legit no fish in the little fried balls. It was like puffs of air. The queso was legit "cheese wiz" from a can. See video for my evidence. Two of the other people had shrimp tacos and said it was so bad no one ate their meals. Best thing was the pita bread for crab dip. If you want to try something and pray it's good then have at it. I hope the owner sees this and maybe works to correct it. FYI the menu is extremely deceiving!!! read more

If you're looking for glorified hospital food, this is the place for you! If you want undercooked tortillas and bland chicken, look no further! I honestly feel like I could cooked better food in my own microwave. Our server was sweet though! Great hair. read more

Absolutely delicious food, friendly service (our server was the sweetest, so down-to-earth and helpful), very reasonable prices, all in an interesting space and casual dining atmosphere. There's a seating section upstairs that you can see from the first floor due to the giant vaulted ceiling!

Food took OVER 55 minutes with tables open in the bottom floor. Top floor couldn't have possibly been loaded. (I checked. Empty!) First coors light wasn't a coors light and our waitress disappeared for so long (over 15 minutes) I had to go to the bar so my sister could have a drink. Bartender asked in a snarky tone for me for me to 'taste it in front of her so she knew' when she was originally served a PALE, CREAM ALE, not a coors light. I sell wine, beer, and spirits for a LIVING. Don't be a total jerk to a customer who merely asked for what their table ordered. Second pour was indeed a coors light. Waitress walked around all night like her life was ending. I kinda felt bad but she was simply terrible at her job. Second batch of chips arrived so greased we could fold each in half. I've never seen that. Disgusting. Baja tacos were cold but sisters quesadilla was actually warm. Totally terrible visit. Won't return. Sucks, because we thought it would be a great ending to the night. Now just feel bad our guest, my sister had a poor experience at our recc read more

Love this place! I've never been disappointed by food quality. As a vegetarian, I love that you can alter the menu items - I always replace the meat with the fried tofu in the Mango Mahi tacos. So good. The avocado pasta salad is also delicious. The chips are alright, they'd be better if they were a little thinner. Salsas are fine - I wish they had a less spicy option out of them but the people in my groups who liked spices were satisfied. The sangria is AWESOME. I've had a variety of service quality - once, a hilarious, fun gentleman who was on point, once a very neutral server, another time a server who was a bit frantic and overwhelmed. Cabo really made this place feel open in comparison to the restaurant that was here previously (Metro). I love the new layout, the giant tvs, and the upstairs area. read more

Cabo Fish Taco - Tacos Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

From rude employees to below par food, this was a disappointing visit. Ordered online- two fried oyster tacos and a fried shrimp taco, black beans and rice for side. Ordered for 12:05pm, showed up at 11:50 prepared to wait. Walked into the restaurant- totally empty- and an employee was standing at the bar, watching tv. No greeting, but when I started walking toward him he pulled up his mask, the cook and the prep guy looked at me and I announced I was there to pick up a couple of orders "Pickup window is outside the front door," I was told. Remember, no patrons in the restaurant. I went out to the sidewalk, and there was no pickup window. As I returned to the restaurant I realized the window was in the alcove before you enter the restaurant. Ok, now we are getting somewhere! I looked through the window to see the cook and prep guy, and called out that I was there to pick up two orders. They kept pointing to my left, and I then saw the switch labeled "ring for service." Now I'm feeling like I'm in a comedy sketch. But I want my tacos! I pressed the button and the prep guy grabbed the only two bags on the counter, opened the window and I told him that I was there to pick up orders 1 &2. "What's the names?" I told him his ordering system didn't ask for names, only gave us order numbers and he repeated himself. Ok, I'll play along- gave him the name and he handed across the two bags which had our names on them. I asked him how he got our names when we hadn't put them into the system and he just closed the window. That's when it occurred they got the names off our credit cards. Hmmm, something to think about. The food was cold and soggy and fell apart when I tried to pick it up. The oysters were deep brown and looked crunchy which told me they were overdone and had been sitting for a while. I was right (grew up in the northeast so I know fried seafood). Not much taste to the oyster tacos. The black beans and rice were cold and very wet. The fried shrimp were cold but they did have a nice taste. Last time I got the fried tofu tacos and I was really pleased. Someone else picked up the food so I was spared all the attitude and the food was good. That's why I gave it a second chance- I'm sitting here with a rumbling and somewhat urgent stomach, wondering if there will be a third tome. read more

Cabo Fish Taco deserves a 5-star for their delicious tacos but due to the poor customer service, I will give it a 3-star. I arrived around 5:00 p.m. on a Saturday for an early dinner. I was alone so I was asked to sit at the bar, which was fine with me; although I preferred a small table. It took 5 minutes for the bartender to give me a menu and to get a drink. It took an additional 10-15 minutes to place my order. The food came out fast. I went with the buffalo ranch shrimp tacos. It was by far some of the most delicious tacos. The tortilla was more of a chalupa type bread. This made the tacos really unique! The shrimp was perfectly battered and fried. As for my side, I went with the rice. It was a bit tough in my opinion. It tasted undercooked or old. Whatever sweet salsa went on top of it was delicious. It also took another 10-15 minutes to take my check. I spent more time sitting here than eating my food. Overall, I wished that customer service was a lot better. It would've made a different in my dinging experience. read more

Slow service, good food. I think this place recently opened, so they're still trying to figure things out, but overall, good meal. Chips and salsa are complementary, although not a big fan of the salsa (lacked flavor). For my main I had the blackened tuna over salad. Perfectly cooked and good flavor. My mom had the garlic buffalo shrimp tacos which she liked as well. They gave her a very decent number of shrimp! read more

Wow very impressed with the quality of this food. Complementary pico (cut tomato on top with corn on bottom) & chips. The workman's margarita is not premade and it wont put you on your butt (jumbo is $10) thankfully. Jalapeño cheddar mashers are hot (my bf said--so I didn't try lol). Great staff and nice vibe inside. We'll definitely be back. :) read more

Came in 12/13/2020 around noon for lunch and was quickly greeted and sat. Mitchell was our waiter and he was beyond hospitable and knowledgeable of the menu. The tacos... always amazing, the margaritas... I dream about! Their corn salsa with their house made chips are authentic and tasty! read more

I am a fan of the original in Blacksburg, so I was really happy when Cabo decided to open in Roanoke (in the old Metro space). Came for lunch on a Saturday. The place was packed. Families were in big supply here. The menu seems to be a bit shorter than what we get in Blacksburg. One of our favorite dishes there in Blacksburg is not here in Roanoke yet. Maybe in a few months. Otherwise everything is the same. Great fish tacos. Fresh and tasty. Great beers. Nice staff. One thing, the chips were stale. But I love that corn salsa. I can make a meal out of that. Nice to have this place in downtown Roanoke. read more

My first experience at Cabo. I was really impressed with the atmosphere and staff. Did my research prior to visit and elected to go with the Cajun oyster tacos.

I got the Cabo fish tacos and they were 10/10. Of course the chips and salsa were also delicious!!!

The food here was so delicious. We had 0 wait for our table, our orders were taken quickly, and the food didn't take long at all. Our server was literally so sweet and told me and my friends that we had beautiful souls. read more

First off, if you are looking for real Mexican tacos, don't go here! There is NOTHING CABO about this food, and yes I have been to Cabo! Waitress was not friendly, but she was helpful. She argue with me about the place being a seafood place than a Mexican taco spot! Let's rename it Roanoke Taco Shop! Food was okay if you are not looking for real Mexican food. Can't name a place Cabo and not have any real Salsa or hot Mexican chili/sauce!!! I asked for something spicy to put on my Fish Tacos that was very bland, and I was given regular American hot sauce and Thai Chili They got 3 stars because it's an okay restaurant but their recipe are far from real Mexican food, this is as Americanized as Panda Express is for Chinese food! read more

Came here on a busy Saturday night and really enjoyed our meal. The shrimp and crab dip was tasty, though my husband and I both agreed it would have been better if the pita served with it weren't fried. My husband had the Mahi Mahi taco and tuna taco and said they were great. I had the lemon grilled shrimp tacos and am happy. Sides leave a bit to be desired, would be nice to have healthy options. Service was pretty good, waitress was very friendly. read more

Went on a Sunday for lunch. Service was very good. Ambiance in the restaurant was nice. The food was very good and tasty. Took about 25 minutes to get our food, but all in all we'll definitely be back. Small portions of dip for chips, so don't expect a large bowl. Guacamole was very good. read more

This is more of a sports bar with a Mexican seafood theme than anything else. It wasn't quite the atmosphere I was seeking. That said, food selections were interesting and different than your typical Tex-Mex restaurant so I enjoyed that. Still far from what I would consider authentic Mexican food but nevertheless it was decent enough. Wait staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Food took a bit long to come from the kitchen, but all in all it was an OK dining experience read more

Two words.. Food poisoning. Food seemed ok but got home and my girlfriend and I started having TONS of GI symptoms; really ruined the rest of our day. Server was nice and place seemed like a good atmosphere but Mezcal Mule had a bunch of syrup at the bottom and ruined the drink. Not a fan of the avocado pasta salad avoid at all costs! read more

Great food and service! The fish tacos were amazing! The chips and salsa were spot on. Definitely going to make this a regular visit.

Had the beer battered fish tacos and refried beans. Wasn't really impressed. Refried beans were very watery and tasted off. Tacos were ok. Food did come out quickly though and they have wifi (pw is: Cabo1234). read more

We visited here for a 4 PM early Saturday dinner and we've enjoyed Cabo both times we've gone when visiting our son. College vibe, Sat upstairs for the first time. For apps we got the Shrimp and Crab dip with pitas, which was good but not great. The Calamari was good and came with 2 different sauces which we appreciated. I got the Mango Habanero tacos with plantains which I really enjoyed. The tacos were great and I really enjoyed the fried plantains, which had a sweet and salty yin and yang, quite tasty. One personal gripe - why do places that sell Mexican food not have any hot sauce hotter than Cholula or Texas Pete? Maybe it's just me. My wife and daughter both had the Banging Baja Shrimp tacos, cooked and seasoned well with a little twang to them. My son got the grilled lemon ahi tuna tacos, which were unusual but really tasty. Overall food was very good, the service is what knocked it down to a 4-star review. They brought me the wrong order, fried oyster tacos that looked great but I didn't order them, and mixed up a couple of sides. No worries, that can happen, but there's no excuse in my mind for walking by our table 10 times and not picking up any of the 5 empty glasses and 2 empty appetizer plates during the duration of the meal! Also, she wasn't usually asking if we needed anything so I'd have to stop her on her way past our table to ask for a beer or drink refills. Overall it was a good meal that we all enjoyed, but more attentive service could take them up that extra notch. read more
