Cabo Jacks was GREAT! Goodness! Totally unexpected.
We originally went as part of a walking tour (Juan More Taco) on March 27 and when we got here, it was interesting because you had the restaurant side that looked great and then you had this field. Didn't really know what to make of it. I could see a trampoline, pirate logo, this and that. I was wondering if it was just a place to have families play.
WELL...
Wednesday nights and Friday nights you will not have to wonder. They put on a show.
We were fortunate enough to visit on a Wednesday night and it was all local familia (and the owner's uncle who happened to be from Washington state - like me!). A local teacher had her students putting on a dance and showing off their moves. It was sweet and the kids were so great.
After the children were finished, out came the pirates. They battled (with fire) and then showed us a few tricks. It was an awesome night!
This was just the show! What about the food! Um, YUM!
Backing up a bit...
I first visited the place in the early afternoon during the tour where I tried a sope and margarita (was it papaya or mango?). The sope was delicious! All the employees were incredible! Such great people. As we were getting ready to leave, I was introduced to the bartender Abel and then the owner came in. Charlie was so pleasant. Talk about energy! He definitely had it.
Because of the great service, I returned that night with the husband and a friend. The bartender remembered me right away and the owner got a table for us even though it was packed (again, little kids dancing).
I cannot say enough about this place. Definitely visit and catch a show. I will always visit here when I'm in town.
Thank you, Charlie, for making us feel at home. read more
