Food was boring. Margaritas were good though. The worst thing is that it was packed with white people. Felt like I was in Canada not Mexico.

Best Mule I've ever had and two for 1 lime margiaritas. Its warm in here just FYI only draw back Didn't eat jus came for the drinks Super friendly staff read more

While asking for directions In the marina for this place i was told Sammy sold a while ago. We got into the small back bar that had a reeeeaaalll mediocre 80s band playing. As soon as Jimmy Buffet margaritaville started it was like neal diamond sweet caroline nauseating sing along with the white guy overbite and velour tank bingo arm old lady crowd. I couldn't tell if my margarita had a floater of real bad tequila or just a real crap drink? I did feel bad for the one server who was in the weeds with this packed bar. Get a pic and go read more

Seriously amazing! Fun place to check out and it's a bit famous! Always have live music and it's great place to check out during the day or at night if you're looking to party. Seriously the best nachos!!!! read more

Went last night despite some crappy reviews. The food was fantastic and the service was great. The t-shit staff was super helpful. Had a fun evening! Would totally go back. read more

Not even Mexican. Staff , besides our waiter, was rude. Sooooo many other places in Cabo. Way too expensive for what you get.

Was not happy with the service at all. The waitress kept pushing me to order more drinks even though I was clearly not done with my current drink. And it wasn't like me and my wife were milking 1 drink. I had 3 drinks and she had two. Then when I received the bill, she stood over me as I was leaving the tip. Who does this? Lastly, the attendant in the bathroom gave me a dirty look when I didn't tip him for a paper towel. I could have gotten my own paper towel. At any rate I would have tipped him but I only had 20s in my pocket. And the band...meh. Lastly, me and boy bought t-shirts at $27 or so. Fine, Cabo Wabo named brand. I get it. But the cashier acted almost bothered by having to help us. read more

I'm not sure why this place has such low reviews, we went here on our vacation and I ordered the Vampiros with no meat just veggies. It was THE most flavorful thing I had tasted in any Mexican restaurant! Great atmosphere and good drink specials. If we ever go back to Cabo, we will definitely eat here again. read more

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

Very overrated. Compared to all the amazing food and drink places you can go to in Cabo, this one does not compare. We enjoyed so much awesome food and drinks in Mexico but made sure to come here as we wanted to see Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo before we left. It is cool for the experience if you are a fan of his music, they have a cover band that plays some of his stuff and there are lots of pictures of him throughout the building. We sat on the outdoor patio which had a nice vibe and cool air blowing. They have a two for one beer deal which we enjoyed. We also ordered quesadillas to share which was very small, basically one quesadilla cut into four bite sized pieces. It was yummy though! read more

I was really surprised at how unimpressed I was with Cabo Wabo. I'm a huge Van Halen & Sammy Hagar fan and I thought this place would naturally be a blast. We spent $60 (US) on round trip taxi fare from the resort just to go there. If I could hit rewind, I wouldn't have. Once we walked in, I thought it was a dump, but thought hey, it's CW, maybe it will be cool. We quickly found out that it has bad service, typical bar food and really loud music on a very mediocre sound system. I get that it's a Rock bar, I love Rock; it was just too loud for a restaurant/bar. That said, some reviews I have read hit the nail on the head; stop there so you can say that you did, but head out after a beer or two. You'll see what I mean if you go there. More of our experience: We were seated at a partially wet, sticky table in the lower level front bar area, where the small stage is. The single sheet menus were wet. From that area, you can see the entrance to a darker room at the back of this section and I asked the uninterested waiter what it was. He quickly said "it's a night club but it's about to close." I said, you mean Cabo Wabo is about to close? He said "no, just the night club," and walked away. This seemed odd as it was only 5:30pm on a Monday. So I walked back there (bathrooms are also back there) to check it out. There's a bunch of black-light art on black walls. It looked pretty cool, if not like a teenage haven with the black-lights. So, before I went back to my table in the front bar, I tapped a waitress on the shoulder and asked why they were about to close? She looked surprised and said "No we're not, who told you that?" Once back at the table in the front bar room, trying to get the attention of our obviously misinformed waiter for beer, an appetizer, and finally the check to get out of there, was like pulling teeth. He would walk right by the table and never make eye contact. I guess because we were a two-top and he had a few larger tables. What ever. Bottom line: We could have gone anywhere in Cabo, and so can you. Remember that. ;) read more

" Drink Special Was The Best " Our Holland America Cruise Ship stopped in Cabo San Lucas for a day and we took a cab to the Cabo Wabo to enjoy their 2 for 1 happy hour beers. If you don't want to take a cab, it is about a 15 minute walk from the cruise port. We also tried some of their chicken wings. Yes, I know we were in Mexico, but after reading several reviews saying that Cabo Wabo's chicken wings were some of the best in Cabo San Lucas, we had to try them. I don't think they were the best I have ever had, but they were good. During Happy hour they also have some live music which was nice. I also read that this restaurant in Cabo has been there for over 20 years. Right across the street from the Cabo Wabo is a nice little shopping center that you can also visit. read more

The best margarita that ive had so far in Cabo. I recommend the Waburrito as well...very good!

This place is a must if you are ever in Cabo San Lucas. My wife and have here 3 times when we are a Disney cruise. A short walk from the pier and you are in side a a busy place. The drinks are great and we always ask about a two for one special if they have it. Usually it's the Coronarita and these are nice. I ordered a mezcal Rita and the waitress recommended and she was not wrong. We each got a carnitas taco, probably the best I had. We could have spent a longer time here as it gets hopping at night we heard but we did not want to miss the cruise ship! read more

This place was started by Sammy Hagar and has lots of rock and roll memorabilia on the walls. Great service. Try the enchilada stack. You bust have a Cabo Wabo margarita. Fun and lively with live music. read more

They expected me to leave the dinner leftovers I had purchased at a restaurant down the street on the sidewalk while I was in the building. I have no problem leaving outside purchased food somewhere in the restaurant but on the sidewalk? It was sushi. Would you leave your sushi on the sidewalk? Unfortunately that wasn't the most disappointing aspect as cocktails were $14 each for a Jack Daniels and Coke. $5 for bottled water. I'd rather have paid a $5 cover charge with reasonable menu prices. I wonder how many people go on there and party all night with no idea how much their bill is going to total. I removed all the Sammy Hagar music from my catalog. That will show him. read more

This restaurant is famous in Cabo and almost everywhere else. I kept hearing crazy stories and it can get wild in there for sure. It depends when you go. It can be relaxing or crazy wild. Tourist get drunk and men hit on the girls. Which is how most Cabo places are... Staff was always very attentive and nice. They are on top of their game. No laziness here :-) read more

I don't know how often this place does two for one deals but I was lucky enough to dine on a day where I could enjoy it. Where I was seated at the outside bar, there are small menus that offer only a select few drinks. I had a few off of that menu but none of them I really liked. Luckily, the waiter asked me if I wanted something with a certain flavor in it. From there I simply asked for a drink that had coconut in it. Best choice I made all day. The drink came with toasted coconut around the rim and was very good. It was also pretty large and I got two of them. I was feeling pretty good after the couple of drinks I had. It also felt good to have a fan blowing ice cool mist on me from above. There was a DJ cranking out tunes from the 90's. He knew just what to play to get to audience in their feet as everyone got up and was dancing. read more

Great place to listen to live music. Good restaurant upstairs. Great street tacos downstairs fish and beef. Great place to have drinks and listen to live music. Great place to buy souvenirs. Great music if you're looking for the 80s and 90s rock music. read more

Great drinks and value! Our expectations were high and every need was met except the most important...Service! The Staff member we had refused to provide us with individual bills because "it is to difficult" and "the tip is not enough on smaller tickets". We had charges that were not ours that he insisted could not be removed. There was noone we could talk to as everyone we reached at to just shrugged. Great food, drinks and atmosphere is not worth it when not provided with the same standard of service. read more

This bar is Cabo's biggest rip-off. Unless it's a big night, with a big name like Sammy Hagar /Toby Keith, etc playing... or if you just like getting bent over & taken advantage of by bartenders, then by all means drink here! Otherwise drink somewhere else first at least. Our first night in Cabo (a Saturday) we went here. I walked up first thing & ordered 2 drinks, a captain & coke & a double stoli & redbull. The bartender made them, handed them to me & said. "$29" (ok, $10 a drink is pretty steep but one's a double, so whatever). I handed him two $20 bills. He gives me back $1. The rest went like this: Me: "You told me $29." Him: "No, I said $39." Me: "It's $39 for 2 drinks?!" Him: "One is a double." Me: "That still doesn't make any sense!?" Him: "I gave you the rest of the redbull can too." Me: "I didn't ask for the can of redbull!" Him: *Points at sign on wall & looks away". *No one at the bar will make eye contact with me at this point* Me: "Well I am done drinking here." I will never, ever... spend another dime at this place. It's a joke & not even really that fun for what they charge. Our friends went back a few nights later & they tried to put a bunch of drinks on their tab that they hadn't ordered. Total scam! Drink at your own risk! read more

The food here was not amazing. We stopped here for lunch and the food was expensive and everything was just eh. We expected more from this well-known place and were underwhelmed. read more

This was a total disappointment and I was expecting more based on the reputation. It was also the only facility that searched bags when we walked in and in retrospect was the first indicator that this was bit of a dive. We sat upstairs at the bar at first and had to move because the chairs were so uncomfortable. We moved to a table which reinforced our initial impression that this is a place in dire need of a renovation. The chairs and we're all in need some upgrades (replacement). Then we got the bill for the beers. They charge US prices in Cabo for local MX beers. We had firmly placed this as a dive bar and this was the most expensive beers we had in Cabo and we stopped at a lot of locations to look at various resorts for when we come back. Will not be back to Cabo Wabo. read more

Bean & cheese burrito is legit. Melted cheese, grilled tortilla, and the avocado sauce is the perfect partner in crime. Recommend! read more

So so food, so so drinks, big crowds, dirty floors, sticky tables, restrooms with broken plumbing, pretty much all the things you would expect at a touristy dive are realized first hand here. Hard pass. read more

Can't go to Cabo without stopping in at Cabo Wabo which I did two nights during my trip. Great drink service, live band was amazing just an overall fun place. They have a cat walk mid-bar and I got up there and danced with a girlfriend of mine and we got stupid crazy. I had the shortest dress on too, do the math. I didn't make any tips though....or get a free drink. Had a freaking blast here! Can't wait to come back. Awesome door staff too. No attitude. Perfect place to drink and party! read more

What a disappointment! This was a must see destination for us as my sister and brother in law are Huge Sammy fans!! Once we were seated is when the "sweat box " nightmare began. All the tables are small and you feel totally squished in like your a tuna that's been caught in the ocean and being boxed for shipping!The waiter finally came by to take our order for drinks.. which took forever. We didn't order much food but what we did order was not tasty at all. The check took forever to get and they overcharged us for an extra drink we didn't even order! By this time the sweat was pouring off all of us .. no air.. that's so you'll get up and out! It's funny how we noticed there were giant fans right over to the right above us but they weren't turned on... The staff was not friendly at all and our waitress seemed totally incompetent! Several times we were approached by wait staff asking did you guys order this ?? All together it was a waste of our time and money. Corner lot seating ~no air~tasteless food~overpriced~ and terrible service. Don't waste your time!!! read more

I went to Cabo wabo yesterday as it was Sammy Hagars birthday and it was rumored he might show up and play some music. I showed up and was seated immediately and about 10 minutes went by before a drink order was taken. The food menu is limited and consists of nachos, hot dogs and tacos mainly. I ordered a waborita and chicken nachos. It took about 45 minutes for the nachos to arrive and they were cold and had no flavor. After asking for my check, it was another 45 minutes before getting the bill which was $31 usd I normally am a generous tipper but ended up leaving only $2 after I considered no tip. Sammy didn't play, the food was horrible, service, slow and under staffed with extremely high prices. I won't be going back. read more

Appetizers were decent but the entre was horrible. The fajitas tasted like they were microwaved and The chips were stale with the guacamole. I'll stick to a few appetizers and drinks next time. read more

I have been going to Cabo Wabo now for about three years. We typically vacation in Cabo twice a year and never miss an opportunity to go party there. I have to say that our experiences in the past have been good. The food is good, the drinks are good, the band is fantastic. The prices are a little high but overall the experience has been good. Having said that... My last visit this time left me fuming! Basically what happened is this: We are partying there with another couple. It was their first time there. Everything is fine. We only had a couple drinks, the band had just started, we were dancing and having a great time. So I proceed to going to the bathroom. I walk in and I am the only one in there except for a guy standing by the door passing out paper towels. I walk into the stall, drop my pants, do my business, wipe my ass, and I'm out of the stall in probably about a minute... LOL! I am not one to linger in bathroom stalls... LOL!. Due to the fact that the stalls are about 12 inches off the floor, all this could be clearly seen by the guy standing at the door. So I go and wash my hands, he hands me a paper towel, I wipe my hands off and throw the paper towel in the garbage. As I start to walk out, he put his hand on my chest and proceeds to point to the sign. As I read the HUGE sign that is posted there as you walk in the door, it basically talks about it being illegal to do drugs in the bathroom and there would be consequences if some of us caught. So I look at the guy and ask... What is your point? He proceeds to tell me that he SAW me do drugs in the stall! Then he points to the fact that I could be arrested and bought up on charges. At this point I start to lose my shit! I tell the guy... You are full of shit motherfucker! I will piss in a cup and drain my pockets right now! You can clearly see what went on in that stall and the fact that I was in there less than a minute doesn't give me a whole lotta time to do anything but my business! Plus... I am a fucking pilot and have to pee test randomly and can't do drugs. Besides the fact that I don't do drugs anyway! That has never been my thing. If we were pee testing for vodka I would be screwed...LOL! Anyway, this guy continues to press me about that he "saw me" do drugs in the stall! I know he's full of shit! Like I said, there was a enough able to be viewed under the stall that clearly shows I wasn't in there long enough to do anything! So I go back out to my friends, complain to the server, who in turn brings over who I am assuming is head of security. I tell him my story. He proceeds to tell ME to quiet down because I am getting angry at what just happened. No apology... No nothing! As far as I'm concerned, you should train your fucking staff better! If some dumbass can't distinguish between someone taking a shit and doing drugs he should be working there! My brother-in-law seems to think he was trying to hustle me and that it was a disguised threat that maybe I would pay him not to turn me in. Like I said though... Turn me in for what? I don't fucking do drugs... Never have never will. I got no apology from him, no apology from the the rest of the staff. I tried not to let it ruin my night and since this is my only recourse of action, I just think it should be known. Train your fucking staff better! Don't go accusing people of shit unless you have hard evidence of what you are accusing them of! Offer an apology... It goes along way! read more

It's a fine tourist establishment. They definitely up charge though. Two mojitos and two water bottles set me back $25. I couldn't believe it. Service was good and everyone spoke English well. read more

A group of my friends and I came here during our cruise to Cabo. Our waitress was attentive and sweet despite there being ~10 of us, and apparently we got there during happy hour because our drinks (beers and margaritas) were 2-for-1. I tried the shrimp taco and a carne asada burrito and I must say, both were bomb. Maybe it's because I was on vacation or because I was in beautiful Cabo, but I was surprised at how good my food was for such a touristy place. It also wasn't overly crowded when we were there so that may have helped. Bit of a hike to walk here but we ended up grabbing one of the pedi-cabs on the way back. Worth checking out! read more
