Wow.... Horrible service, cold food, extra charges, incompetent staff, and generally a rip off/tourist joint. Giggling Marlin so much better- honest, competent & welcoming! I will never step foot in this low life place! Sammy would be ashamed! read more

Enjoyed coming to Cabo Wabo! They were having a beer special so my girlfriends and I were able to get a good deal on Corona's. The front part of the bar was a little small, but did enjoy their location as they are by all the little shops and markets. Our table was seated directly below two men, so it was like we were apart of their table. They turned out to be super friendly but could have been a weird location if we didn't chat. Overall, a great place to stop in for a quick drink to say you have been there. read more

My husband and I spent our anniversary week in Cabo November and this is the first restaurant we went to. It's a super fun atmosphere with rock music playing and a music venue tucked inside the restaurant. We just had beers, chips and guacamole, but it all hit the spot after a long walk on the beach. Definitely recommend if you want a fun atmosphere while eating Mexican food! read more

I don't know why such low reviews. The coconut shrimp is amazing, as is the guac and salsa. YUMMMM!! read more

I love Sammy Hagar, so this was a must-see while in Cabo San Lucas. This place is about what you'd expect: touristy rock-n-roll bar with multiple levels, rooms, and stages. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. Insane boozy drinks that are enormous and are named after some of Sammy's songs. Be sure to try a Cabo Wabo tequila shot-the tequila is surprisingly good and really smooth. Didn't try the food but it is typical bar fare, e.g. buffalo chicken wings. Good music playing in non-performance times; friendly staff; good gift shop. A staff photographer is on hand to take your picture (a la Pat O'Brien's) and sell it to you in a fantastically tacky frame! It's a neat place to pay homage to Sammy. read more

I went on Friday night at 11:00- Old People hang out! I am not a picky guy BUT.. not a fun night spot to meet people or socialize. All hype for Americans- only delivers costly and terrible sizzler/Applebee's-type food. 3X drinks prices.. boring old and sad crowd. Yikes if you want fun for your night, Cabo has other things to do. BORING.. go do other things. 1990 decor with over-priced drinks and old sad people. Nothing here is worth while. No talent imposters playing loud, approximating vocals.. The crowd is burnt out. Not even like the way rock was. read more

I had a party of six at Cabo Wabo. We all had drinks and they ordered food but I'm a Celiac. I asked if they had any options for me and they said NO. I brought in 5 pieces of gluten-free shrimp from across the street. They manager threw our whole party out. I told them it was medical. I frequent Cabo Wabo....We will never go back again. Seriously RUDE. read more

Pretty much an over hyped place. Come here if you want that bad spring break feeling and you want to say you've been here. Otherwise, there are lots of little local places that are probably worth trying before heading here. read more

Total tourist trap. Yes, if you just want to visit the place and order light foods, they will seat you towards the back, next to the smelly bathrooms. The only upside? Charging you over $3 in USD for a bottled water. Oh never mind, that can't be the upside. As for the beer choices? No Modelo Negro, only Especial. The famous fish tacos here? You can do better else where. Where is Sammy Hagar because I'm a total fan of his tequila? But I am certainly not a fan of this place. read more

For those who do not know, Cabo Wabo was founded by Sammy Hagar. Had the opportunity to drop by during our last visit to Cabo San Lucas. It was lunchtime, but I wanted to eat elsewhere. If I could do it all over, I would have eaten here instead. Oh well, there is always next time. Although we did not eat here, I did get a chance to do a bit of exploring. Everyone there was dining outside. The inside was dark, but I did spot a stage where the performances must happen. They also had a souvenir shop filled wth all kinds of t-shirts, paraphernalia, and other cool stuff. Bottom line is Cabo Wabo is a nice place to check out. Will be trying their food next time. read more

Don't ask me how but I lost my pantys here and my hoo haw showed up on the jumbo tron. Yep the drinks are strong! read more

Is there a zero option?!?!? It was awful! Terrible service. They tried to take out plates AND DRINKs before they were done, many many times!!!! Also they don't let anyone in! My bother ( who is 16) got in to the bar, but me with and my family were not allowed in to eat. Why ? Because the manager is terrible!!!!!! read more

Overall an decent lunch spot. Food was good. Burritos and tacos were slightly above average, comparably something you'd get at Qdoba. Music was insanely loud, making conversation little to impossible. If you're looking for a nice sit down restaurant or want to be wowed by the fresh local seafood this is not the place for you. Still a fun place to hit when on a vacation with family or friends read more

Even at 25% capacity Cabo Wabo still kicked ass! I had so much fun here and my only regret was that I didn't come here more on my recent Cabo trip. The area is a little dicey and we were propositioned by a few drug dealers outside of the club so I would strongly suggest not being a hero and just order a taxi to get there. But once you're inside the vibe is friendly and really fun. The live music was great. Classic rock with a Mexican accent-I dig it. The little crowd went wild when the band sang La Bamba! Margaritas were on a 2 for 1 special so I definitely took advantage of that. They were super potent and delicious. I also suggest the Scooby snacks shot too. I'm not really one for shots but that one was great. Even though we didn't order food the restaurant sent us two delicious little taquitos on the house which was perfect and much appreciated. The merch store, while pretty expensive had great souvenirs. I love Cabo Wabo-they have a great thing going here and I will certainly be back at some point. read more

Wanted to go here because I have always been a fan of Sammy Hagar. He should be ashamed to be affiliated with this rip off spot. We took a tour of the city and had 45 minutes until we had to head back to our resort so asked the driver if we had time to go have a margarita. He says sure, it's only a 5 minute walk away. Another couple joins us and we all order a basic margarita on the rocks which is served in a normal size cocktail glass as if you're buying an old fashioned or any other classic drink. They bring us each two drinks as they say it's happy hour. I'm thinking Mas Tequila good call on coming here. We're running out of time and need to get back to the bus so we ask for our check. Waitress has it all on one bill but says she can split it up. My portion is $32 for two drinks! We're in a hurry and leaving so I think OK, this has to be an error, they charged us both the full price as I asked the other man what they charged him for their two drinks. $32 as well. So I go to the waitress as this is unbelievable, I just know it has to be a mistake. It wasn't! $32, $16 per drink! This is nowhere in the realm of reasonable, avoid at all costs would be my suggestion. Thank God it was happy hour and we didn't stay there drinking and eating all night. Finest dining in Manhattan for bar grub food and decor! Tourist trap to the extreme. I would give them no stars if I could, just shameful. ¡Estafadores! read more

Cabo Wabo is pretty much THE place in terms of nightlife here in Cabo. Or, so I'm told. I, of course, did not experience the crazy concert dance club atmosphere, but instead wandered in the middle of the afternoon out of sheer necessity to get a cold beverage in my hand for fear of passing out. We walked by Cabo Wabo and decided to sit for a spell, and got to sample a couple of their famous margaritas -- frozen for me. They really were pretty great! I can't speak for the rest of the establishment in terms of party atmosphere, food, or anything else, but Cabo Wabo gets a solid review just for that delicious, life-saving frozen marg. read more

Cabo Wabo - 2 for 1 frozen margaritas! - Mexican Near Me - Cabo San Lucas, BCN

Came in because we saw Gluten Free reviews on another app. When we sat down the waiter immediately said nothing is gluten free. He was absolutely no help. He wouldn't get the chef or someone who knew what they were talking about. So many better places to go don't waste your time here. read more

First time in Cabo so we had to do Cabo Wabo. Everybody said it was a tourist trap, so we were expecting a Hard Rock Cafe like experience. This place exceeded those expectations. The drinks were a bit pricey, but really good. We got margaritas and mango mojitos. Ingredients were prepared fresh and everything was really tasty. We got prime real estate outside by the live music and it was fun times. People were dancing and laughing and having a ball. Overall, we enjoyed it and would do it again. read more

Cabo Wabo - Mexican Near Me - Cabo San Lucas, BCN

TOURIST TRAP. I came with a party of 9, and ordered buffalo wings, French fries, nachos, two alcoholic drinks, and asked for some water. The total came out to about $70 freakin dollars, but HALF of the total was just for water. They charged us for $4 a bottle, 9 bottles.. Are you kidding me?! We didn't ask for bottled water, we said just regular tap water. Yes, I've heard it can be unsafe to drink tap water in MX, but over my 7 day trip, we've had tap water at about 5 places and none of us have been sick so far, luckily! If the place seems really run down or not well maintenance, we would buy water bottles. But Cabo Wabo sort of reminded us of Dave and Busters, it looked really fancy and tourist-y so we assumed they would have clean tap water. Normally we would buy bottles, but at Cabo Wabo they checked our bags and took our bottled waters before entering the restaurant. Continuing, we explained we did not order the bottles, only regular tap water.. They refused to take back the charges. When paying, the waitress was hovering over me, waiting and literally breathing over my shoulder to see what I was going to tip. You already swiped my card so why you checkin the tip?! Not to mention she got our order wrong and gave us chicken tenders instead of wings. We were pretty irritated with the water situation because we didn't even touch the bottles and $36 for water is ridiculous when we wanted regular free tap water. She got upset we didn't tip her enough and got in my face saying "seriously this is all you tip?!" Then went over to another coworker and told him. I work at a restaurant so I know how to tip well, and I NEVER argue with a customer about tip. I understand people don't always tip as well as the service you provide, but for shitty service and being unwilling to help the customer, she shouldn't have complained. Disgusting. The only reason they're getting two stars is because it's a decent atmosphere on a busy night, and the buffalo wings were pretty good. But if you come and ask for water, make sure you clearly explain that you want cups of tap water, NOT water bottles. Half of the bill was water, what a joke. read more

If Sammy Hagar took his rock and roll fame and parlayed it into a Mexican beach party bar, this would be the place! :) Music rocks. Drinks are 10$ a pop. The crowd is beautiful. What more can you ask for? read more

Great place for drinks and dinner! We had the carne asada burritos and they are to die for! The service is also great. Everyone is looking to make your time there fun and accommodating. Loved the live music and party/tropical atmosphere. We came back multiple times and will be back whenever we visit Cabo! read more

Don't be a judgmental snob. It's a bar. The drinks are strong. The bartenders are great. There's lots of dancing -- two different levels. The bands are good. It wasn't half as bad as I thought it'd be. It's a must-go if it's your first in Cabo. For no other reason than to said you went. Five stars because it markets itself as a fun bar, and it's a fun bar. read more

Came here with family and friends. Because we had our under age nieces with us, they sat us upstairs. When I kindly asked our server if us grown ups can order alcoholic drinks since the upstairs was a family area he said he would "ask his boss ". After 15 mins his "boss" came to our table and rudely told us we couldn't order alcohol. A simple no from the server would of been good, but they made it seem like we were asking for a huge favor. Lol Secondly, I kindly asked if they could switch the channel on the TV to the CAL football game since no one was upstairs except us. The Server then told me to go upstairs and ask the "head of tv". So I went up some stairs that led me to the cabo wabo sound/media room and asked for the "head of tv" and asked if he could change the channel. He then got super irritated and yelled, what channel! After a couple tense minutes he was able to change the channel. Apparently the servers have zero authority and if you need something other than food at this establishment, you need to get on your knees and beg management. Lol Food was super bland and overpriced! Nunca mas! read more

This review is solely for their food and happy hour. We came to watch the first half of the Warriors game and left. The service was slow even when the outdoor bar was not quite busy. Their live band is amazingly good. Their food wasn't all that, but decent enough to finish. The nachos was stacked and the fish tacos were alright. The tvs are small but it gets the job done. The club inside is lit up and looks like it gets crackin' during late night hours. The restaurant in the front is more relaxing and does not have tvs. The bathrooms are tiny but clean. This place was probably the most expensive and we didn't order that much. We didn't come back during the night which I wish we would've to experience it. read more

My husband and I went on a cruise and one of the ports was Cabo so we did some shopping and went to eat at Cabo Wabo for lunch. The tacos were ok not great but not bad. Anyways we eat appetizers and had some beers. It's not as good as it use to be but it's a land mark. Lol read more

Meh! Good music, great service, good location and venue but not much more. This place is definitely targeting the tourist. I was in Cabo for the first time ever, but not in Mexico for the first time. When it came to food, they did not deliver. I stuck with drinking beer, which will never run low and enjoying the music. read more

We went on a Friday night and there were people of all ages dancing and drinking to the LIVE BAND playing classic rock hits. In between sets, they would play popular songs (Top 40) and everyone was really into it. The drinks are strong, the food is good, and the crowd is fun! Loved Cabo Wabo!!!! read more

Horrible lunch! So dissatisfied and disappointed with the menu options, quality and quantity of food, and outrageous prices. The place itself has a really weird vibe and honors a lower exchange rate for the US dollar that is otherwise excepted in the region. Had the torta sandwich which was missing meat and was mostly bread with some stale sweet potato chips. I drank a soda water and got flan for dessert which wasn't bad. This cost me a whopping $40! Make matters worse they have tip not included stamped in all black letters at the top and bottom of your receipt. Guess what? Tip was drastically reduced by poor service poor quality of food and general attitude of the place! read more

****USE EXTREME CAUTION**** Staff will charge you wrong prices and for items you never ordered. If you ask for prices to be corrected or for items to be removed, they will CALL THE POLICE! Live music was great, but consider all the other reviews of staff hostility before considering this place. read more

My grandpa and I were roofied by the bartenders at this place while on vacation with my family. They spiked mine, my grandpa's and my dad's drink. My grandpa and I drank our drinks, my dad didnt like the taste so he didnt drink his. My grandpa and I were roofied and let's just say it was a crazy, tramautic, and dangerous night for my family. Thank god my dad didn't drink his drink or we probably would've been robbed or worse. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Had to stop by Cabo Wabo "just because" ! I thought the place was pretty cool...definitely built for the party crowd on vacation and set up great for live music downstairs.... We were here to eat and surprisingly the food was'nt too bad .... I had the chicken burrito with some sort of white sauce on it ..was really good.The Guac was tasty and the service even better ...definitely a tourist trap but hey .... you're on a cruise to Cabo ! read more

The place is definitely worth seeing. The venue itself is pretty cool. Take a look at all the pictures on the walls. Good burgers, nice chips and guacamole. The chicken wings are delicious and enormous! Live music every night. Sure.... It's crawling with Sammy Hagar fans, but that's totally expected! read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but what a terrible experience for dinner. While the bar looks very fun, the dinner menu is full, service is ok, but when I ordered a $26 dollar overpriced burger it should be large and edible. First- as soon as I picked it up, the bun fell apart- clearly very old. Secondly the burger itself was so well done it shrank to half the size of the bun and barely thicker than a McDonald's happy meal burger, which would have tasted better. In the end, over cooked, tiny, terrible bread at that price left me with such a bad taste in my mouth we left instead of sticking around for the bar and music which we intended to. Do a better job if you want to charge for it. Tourist trap- beware read more

The vibe is cool and you can tell there are some awesome nights to be had here. Just not this particular night, and probably many like it. The band tonight is likely local, and don't seem to care anymore. Not terrible, but the dj is getting more attention tonight. Service was amazing, EXCEPT, when I was delivered my beer I could see something was wrong with the top. In the dark it looked like the foil was not torn off so I put my finger on it and found that it was broken glass as it cut the tip of my finger off. I guess that happens (?) but I couldn't help imagine if I didn't see it and that was my mouth. Like I said, I imagine good times and hope to come back for some! read more

My husband was pushing to go to Cabo Wabo (Sammy Hagar's restaurant) because it's iconic. I was thinking total tourist trap but I relented and so we went with our 2 boys on a Sunday night. We got in with no wait and no reservation. The service was very good. The drinks were better than I expected. The coconut shrimp were delicious and my son loved his surf and turf burger. All in all the meal was okay but what made our night over the top and 5 star???? After we ate we go into the club area to watch the band and Sammy Hagar walks out on stage and he was great!!!! read more

Save your money and your time going here unless Sammy or some other decent band is playing. It's a total tourist trap with food and drinks that are extremely over-priced and bad. Buyer beware when the waitress asks if you want some chips and salsa for the table, because they are not free like they are in the US. Two baskets of chips with small plastic containers of guacamole and salsa will set you back over $40. I guess we shouldn't have assumed the chips were free, but it would have been nice if the waitress informed us there was a HUGE charge for them. Also beware of price on bottles of water at over $4.00 US each. I know a lot of people want to see Cabo Wabo Cantina because of Sammy. I would suggest you just ask if you can walk around and see the place, then leave. It's also quite a walk, where you pass by many restaurants with a beautiful view of the ocean only to arrive at CW that is in the middle of the city with absolutely no view. My advice would be to eat at a place on the Boardwalk that has a great view, an ocean breeze, that doesn't charge for chips and salsa and is half the cost. read more
