This place is just not good. Period. It is the utter epitome of a tourist trap, and I highly advise anyone visiting Cabo to avoid this place like the plague that it is. There are so many other options that are both much more reasonably priced and have actually good food. First of all, this place is full of loud, obnoxious American tourists. It's no surprise that there isn't a local in sight here as soon as you see the ridiculous prices and taste the average, mediocre food. I had luckily eaten before coming here with a few friends that wanted to check it out, so I just ordered myself a (very overpriced and unimpressive) margarita. The rest of them that ordered meals voiced their thorough disapproval and distaste for them. My friend complained that it was the both the most expensive meal and the worst meal that she had eaten in Cabo. This place is just not where it's at. It's tacky, it has mediocre table service and even more mediocre food. The only thing incredible here are the prices - incredibly inflated and ridiculous prices, that is. Please, avoid this place if you are in Cabo and go literally anywhere else for a better experience. read more

wanted to try this place for a while and finally got here and must say very disappointed, the tequila is way overpriced and not that good, was hoping the food was good but disappointed once again we order the coconut shrimp and flautas, and well they need to learn how to prepare the shrimp that's for sure , shrimp were dirty and just makes for of shitty meal won't be revisiting and wouldn't suggest anyone else do it either. service was horrible also. if I was the owner I would fire everyone and atsrt over read more

I'm already a fan of Cabo Wabo in Hollywood, so I HAD to stop by and check out the original establishment. It is much bigger than the Hollywood location and has a stage. The prices are L.A. prices, so beware! The ambiance is pretty cool and it's a great place to have a drink and just enjoy the general Cabo feel. read more

Great food & service, the stuff mushrooms was a hit. I will definitely return to this establishment.

Pros - nice people & fast service! Cons - the food was TERRIBLE! Chicken Fajitas were undercooked with no flavor. Shrimp Fajitas featured shrimp that wasn't cleaned properly. If you're going to eat, they put you outside along with a million flies. The bar looked really cool, which we saw on the way to the bathroom. Save your money & time & go elsewhere! read more

Weak drinks and over priced. Go for the beers if you want to have a good time. Music was great.

My first impression of this place is it is your average commercialized party bar. I only was here during the day and it looks like it could get really busy at night. The drinks were middle range, you could find better drinks for less elsewhere. I think they hype this place up too much for what it is. I'd skip it next time. read more

Cabo Wabo - House margarita. - Mexican Near Me - Cabo San Lucas, BCN

$78.82 for 4 small margaritas and 1 pepsi....wtf! Straight tourist trap....ole Sammy makin money! Just visited today June 2023

Been a Hagar fan for decades, and had to eat here once. Sadly no music was playing so my review only covers the Sammy Tequila large shrimp which was a simple tequila fired shrimp 21/30 count. Not bad simple, anyone can make at home. Tequila added just a bit of kick. Not enough garlic for my taste... for tourist and all. Corona 2 for 1 happy hour didn't come in bucket of ice and got warm fast... another ding. Sunday night 6:30 no music was a real downer.l along with American 50-60 year old Hagar fans like myself. All drunk... except for me that is... lol read more

Good food and music. Only better if Sammy popped by! They offer indoor and outdoor dining and a cool gift shop where we grabbed a few shirts. read more

This is a big tourist spot but surprisingly the food was solid! Ordered the chips and guac which came with plenty of salsas as well. Had the fish tacos which were great. Ordered a corona which came in a bucket of 2. Cool spot with fun decor especially if you're a fan. Service was excellent. Will be back to try the tequila. read more

We were on vacation here and wanted to see what it was about since it's very popular! When we first walked in to sit down they told us we had to have eat food in order to sit. The people at the front door weren't very nice and i feel that they used the covid excuse to not seat everyone. The place was very clean and the food is very good! Javier was a very good waiter and the atmosphere was amazing! Everyone was singing and some were even dancing! Unfortunately sammy didn't make an appearance today. read more

This is our first time at Cabo Wabo cantina get some beers and margaritas and buy a bottle of Cabo Wabo tequila plus I have a coupon book that we brought on the ship we could use in Cabo San Lucas and other ports. The coupon we use to buy a bottle anejo tequila,we get two shot glasses for free it was a cool deal. After buying the bottle of tequila,we head to bar to get some beers and margaritas,etc. We found out its Happy Hours they good deals in the morning wow. They have 2 for 1 deal like Coronas and Pacifcos beers,margaritas and mojitos. We relax in the shade drinking beers and margaritas in this hot day in Cabo. read more

So your down in Cabo San Lucas drinking the fruity foo foo drinks, hitting the beaches, buying cheap souvenir T-shirts and you hear or heard of this place named Cabo Wabo. Cabo Wabo? Yes the place Sammy Hagar from Van Halen started back in 1990 that also includes the same titled signature tequila. A Cabo trip isn't complete unless we poke our head in just so we can tell friends and family YES we've been there. I can't speak at all for the drinking, music, or nightlife as me and wifey went there after opening around 10:00 for a quick snack and to peek our curiosities. So this review will pertain only to what I ate and my experience in the restaurant area upstairs. I order Sammys Shrimp and thought the quantity was insufficient and was way overpriced. Wifey ordered quesadillas, we both had appetizers and bill was over $38 U.S. We didn't order any entrees and just water. The shrimp tasted awesome though!! But felt like I could have got more down the street for a fraction of the price. The menu online does not represent the menu they give you in the restaurant. The prices are grossly misrepresented as they are inflated inside the establishment. The big negative is no wifi upstairs where we ate! It's 2015 and freakin Mcdonalds down the street has wifi. I had to go all the way downstairs and leave out their other entrances just to check in. We had great service, fast, friendly and prompt. I'm sure the nightlife is a blast along with the drinking experience, will have to definitely check it out later at night. But as far as an early meal, I wouldn't come back again as it is way overpriced and portions are small, check out the place downstairs at Marichi Plaza next to the bar, we had a big ass lunch and it was great for under $20. read more

I remembered I came here 6 years ago and it was always packed... Now it's not that packed anymore. Cabo in general isn't that packed probably due to renovations still continuing due to last years hurricane. Cabo wabo is a good place to go pee and visit the famous rocker hall of fame who made it all happened. It's like tribute. Other than that the place is overpriced Americanized Mexican fusion you can get in the states for cheaper and better. Drinks, even in the 2 for one deal HH is expensive. We came and had 2 for 1 shots, and 2 for 1 mojitos and chicken wings for a whooping $40! (Damn) should have taken that money and run across the street for $1.50 tacos. But like I said, Great place to use the restroom especially being able to drink on the streets all day long read more

Was on the cruise and Cabo was one of our ports. So i stopped in here for food and drinks. Super good food. smaller place, no A/C but the food was worth the stop. i had the Waburrito and it was killer. Ide get that again for sure. We also tried the lobster tacos and the quesadilla, all the food was real good. 4-5 stars for sure. Staff was great and the price was normal for a tourist place. next time in in Cabo, ill be going back there for sure. read more

Over charged from the menu. We were charged $510 for a Waburritto instead of 390. Waiter stated it wasn't his problem. See a previous review from Charles A for the receipt. Bait and switch spot. read more

My recent lunch here was a nice surprise, during which I discovered a new delicious dish: Bisteck Ranchero, which was composed of generous portions of thin slices of slow cooked lean beef, White Onions, tomatoes, Green Peppers, a Serrano Chile, and thick discs of potatoes enrobed in a savory and wonderful tomato-based sauce. Thick homemade Tortilla Chips with an ample amount of freshly prepared Guacamole, onions, and tomatoes, and Pico de Gallo provided a nice beginning to a sumptuous lunch. The Guac was distinctive because its consisted of different textures of avocado. Meanwhile Diane enjoyed Quesadillas filled with plump shrimp and Oaxaca Cheese. Located inside the Plaza De Los Mariachis above the city of Cabo, we had a nice rooftop view, which was enhanced by a background of loud and hard-driving rock music. Because the place is open to the air, we had to fend off a few pesky flies here and there, and the men's bathroom was a bit messy. But these were but minor annoyances. When next returning to Cabo, I will surely seek out another heaping helping of Bisteck Ranchero! A solid 4 stars! read more

Cute vacation spot to get drunk. If you are looking for good food, do not stop here. They have a rule which requires you to buy food if you want to drink. which made more sense once we received our food that was over cooked (fries) and Buffalo wings that were more like sweet chili wings. I appreciate the bar service and the option of 2 for 1 beers but the food is a major turn off and should be revamped. Luckily the manager accepted the additional order of wings back that we ordered but had not unwrapped! This is definitely a tourist spot and I suggest you Yelp somewhere else with better food options if you are looking for more than good drinks. Decided to take the wings I did not eat with us and look for someone to give them to. read more

This is a must see every year when we go to Cabo and hyped it up to the kids as this was going to be their first visit but this year was a true disappointment. The food selection was minimal, the menu's have been totally revamped. The service was extremely slow, we ordered our drinks and sat there for 25 minutes waiting to have or order taken. I finally gave up and walked away to make a phone call and told a waitress we wanted our check since we never received service. We never got an apology for the lack of service.....sad because this was our staple every year and now we're deciding not to waste our time read more

Staff is great prices are outrageous. 5 people 3 rounds of drinks, nachos, chicken fingers..$700 dollars... these tourists places are all expensive but this place is a rip off read more

I have always wanted to go to Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina. It's loud as heck and looks really cool inside. The food and drinks are way over priced, worse then say Hard Rock even. The prices are as bad as some joint in LA CA if you ask me, but now I can say I was there and hay Sammy still owns 80% of it. I say go in and have a beer or Coke but move on unless you have deep pockets. read more

Our three couples had a great time at Cabo Wabo. Service, food and atmosphere were all as expected. Good COVID protocols in place. Got us a taxi very quickly when we were done. Maybe five stars if they had just played one Sammy Hagar song. Mas Tequila! read more

Cabo Wabo is not just a Restraunt it's a life style in which we should bow down to Mr Sammy Hagar and thank him. ALL HAIL The Red Rocker! THE CABO CANTINA offers real quality food food however it's the hand crafted Tequila Sammy created and the blue drink of choose THE WABO RITA that really makes this place stand out.. I've been a few time to watch Sammy & The WaboRitas preform at the Cantina but Sammy's weeklong birthday bash is legendary and a must go. It's really the 3rd wonder of Mexico! Viva Cabo Wabo! read more

Nothing too cool here. The first night we walked in on a Friday night and it was dead. I think we may have been the only homies inside, but then again it was only 10pm. So we just peed and left haha. The second time we rolled through we needed to pee and get some wifi. So this time we stopped and peed, then decided to have a twofer - tequila shot and cucumber mojito. The drinks were delicious and strong! We also got the wings as a breakfast appetizer before Tacos Guss! The wings were actually really juicy and flavorful. They were dressed in a spicy sweet chili sauce and deep fried. I liked them very much. I don't mean to sound so negative about Cabo Wabo. It is really cool that Sammy started such a cool bar/brand. However, it's not as cool as it sounds once you get there. I like the hole in the wall Mexican food joints and taco stands, so that I can really taste Cabo, and eat as they do. That's what it's about. But yes, I'm secretly glad I can say I've been to Cabo Wabo. Haha. Peace. read more

Worst drinks ever!!!!!! Service is terrible. Total tourist trap. Would not recommend.

The first thing I noticed when I went in was that it looked like every American in Baja over 40 years in age was also in the place. I guess it makes sense since the music they play is from the 70's and 80's. If that's your preferred listening choice, you'll be pretty happy here. There were lots of cougars too, which made for some interesting people watching. The music is really, really, really freakin' loud. I don't mind loud, but this place was loud beyond any sane reason. The place itself is fine, with plenty of seating and a good staff, but the sound is just too loud. You really can't hear the people at your table unless they're shouting in your ear. When the band came on to play, they actually were quieter than the regular music that plays when there's no live music. I feel bad for the people that work there and the hearing loss that they're going to experience later on in their lives. Beer and tequila were expensive, but I guess that shouldn't have been a surprise to me considering that the place is ground zero for Cabo tourism. Prices on the mixed drinks were a complete rip-off. Stick to the beer and you'll be okay. It was okay to visit the place once, but I seriously doubt I'll go back if we're in town again. read more

Birthday Bash We were at Cabo Wabo to celebrate 50th birthday and the staff was EXCELLENT Nino and Regina were our servers for a party of 12. We chose bottle service and they were consistently checking to make sure we had enough ice and beverages. They were quick to accommodate our specific need as our birthday guy has a portable oxygen concentrator and we needed an electrical outlet so we could PARTY. And they arranged everything perfectly. I also want to thank Berto from security who was also very helpful We all had a great time. Thank you so much. And I cannot forget the band you were AWESOME. Look forward to our next trip read more

Overpriced for not really good food! Waiters & waitresses also rushing to get you out, they wanted to take my plate away as I was still eating & out order was completely incorrect. Sadly, this use to be one of our favorite go to places. We will no longer be returning. It's gone downhill. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Guacamole was flavorless and served in a small plastic cup, as was the salsa. The drinks were good, but expensive. Overall I would not recommend unless it's just about reliving your teen years with all the other 50 somethings. When in Cabo there are much better options. read more

My husband ordered the shrimp and the price was not in US dollars. The bill came and it was $54 for 6 shrimp. Never again will we eat there again. Not sure how Sammy can sleep at night knowing how he is ripping people off. read more

The first time I was here (a few years ago) Sammy Hagar actually showed up for a free unannounced concert. It was amazing! The stage area holds at best a few 100 people so it was like a was at a private show. Probably one of the cooler venues I have ever been at for a big name band. Sammy played for over an hour and included all of his hits including the ones from his Van Halen Days. This time it was way more laid back. During the day there are two areas open, but the stage area was closed. The back bar kind of sucks because it's hot and has little scenery. The other area is upstairs and is more of a restaurant atmosphere. Drinks are a bit more here than some of the other locations, but they do have some specials. Wasn't my favorite place, but it is a must see bar in Cabo. If your really lucky Sammy might show up for a show! read more

Food was only ok. Nothing special and for a salad and soup. WOW way over priced. Can't believe I though it was going to be better I should have went with my instincts and not gone there read more

Overpriced and bland. I thought Sammy was a foodie? Should have noticed when his Mill Valley, CA restaurant bit the dust. And then no one wanted to buy his Lake Arrowhead French chateau. I'm sensing a trend. Maybe DLR was correct when he said "don't drink the Cabo Wabo." CW features Tex Mex with no soul. $22 USD for TV dinner style fajitas. As a VH fan I enjoyed the memorabilia on the walls. Music on the PA was high school relived. Not a bad thing. Service was rushed in spite of the place being nearly empty. Hawkers on the front sidewalk didn't add to the vibe either. And the location across the street from a strip club is more Motley Crue, with bloated Vince Neil, than Red Rocker. House band was ok but I didn't care for their cheesy set list. No need to return to the CW. This place is for the FJB crowd, if they dared step foot in MEX. read more

We stopped in on a Tuesday right before noon and the security guy told us we would have a little wait. Then 2 different couples walked up as we had stepped back and the hostess seated them right away. Then a family of about 10 got seated right away, so we walked away and shopped for a little bit. About a half hour or so later we attempted to go back, the hostess seated a couple and while she was away the same "security guy" looked at us and said it will be a small wait and pointed to the please wait to be seated sign. I said that's what you told us before and then you sat about 20 people, he just chuckled and said sorry....yeah. We walked away and I would never go back or recommend this place to anyone!!! The security guy was a douche and didn't even deserve to have a position there in my honest opinion!!!! He made the whole place look absolutely terrible!!! Good luck in the future!! read more

The best carne asada tacos you'll ever eat! They've got beer as cold as your ex'a heart, which comes in handy on a hot summer day.

Hadn't been to Cabo Wabo in almost 17 years, so we decided to make a stop during a family cruise this past week. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Went for lunch and couldn't believe how expensive the prices were, and we are from the Los Angeles area. The chips were not good, the salsa and guacamole were ridiculously small (picture small salsa sides you'd get for free at a fast food spot). The margaritas were awful (tasted like premade batches mixed with orange juice). The beef flautas were pretty good, but the chorizo and potato flautas were terrible. Ambience inside is cool. We sat on the patio and several of us got bug bites around our ankles. Anyway, I think it's glory days are over unless you're just going for some music and beers. read more

Tourist trap. Avoid. $8 usd for a bottle of water. Drinks start around $15. Food is absurdly expensive. Stay the heck away.
