    Pina colada

    Fun place to eat when in Cabo. Service was good. Food was good. Photos are available as a souvenir for your group. We didn't have much of a wait to be seated. We got photos outside, too, and shopped for tee shirts in the little store out front.

    Fish tacos

    Sangria tasted very sour. Lemon drop shot was very good. Ambiance was chill, it was 10:30 am so there were many tourists and the game was on but no music or other entertainment at that time. Chips were thick and salsas were not spicy at all which was a bit disappointing. The avocado salad was flavorless. We added salt to all items. Asada tacos and fish tacos were meh. Service was fast and seemed eager to get us in and out. They counted the tip in front of us and complained. Many seats were stools and they didn't allow split checks for our group. Still a Fun experience in Cabo.

    Double piña colada !!!

    This place we went to TWICE while in Cabo! Lively , plenty TVs to watch the current game events, drinks cold , food was freshly made and service was really good and welcoming too, music playing was a cherry on top!!!!! Hagar did a great thing here!!!

    Was on a Carnival 6 Day cruise to Cabo and Ensenada. This was Day 3 of the cruise. We took a bike taxi from the beach by the Port. He actually became our unofficial tour guide lol. He brought us here because it is a very famous spot. After going to it, it is a definitely a tourist trap. I sat this because it was very very too much. Too fancy, too showey, too out there. You could tell that no locals must likely frequent it. Definitely did not want to spend any real money in there. The music playing was not even Spanish. It was American. My wife and I did not have any food here, we each just had a drink. The drink I ordered was not great at all. It was a mojito type of drink and it had way too much mojito to it lol. When we got picked , I told him to not take us to any more tourist spots and to take us only to where locals go. We wanted to go where he would go. Of course we stayed in the area near the port, but we wanted local food only. He understood the assignment after that point.

    While massive and festive, you won't find any local cuisine here. If you're looking for basic taco, burgers, or cheese fries, this might be for you. Drinks are also very expensive as compared to other local places. Our servers were super friendly and took great care of us, but after looking at the menu and realizing our mistake, we ordered tacos and chips and guac. The guac wasn't fresh, needed salt and spices. Ugh. Lesson learned. Venture out and take a chance on anywhere else, especially when in Cabo. Don't make our mistake!

    The tourist trap in Cabo. A few blocks from the marina. Service is basic. The food was better than I expected. I had the fajitas and my wife had the chilies rellenos. The beers were cold. Outside seating, your chasing flies away. Typical, a photographer makes his rounds trying to get tourists to buy a picture in a frame. Pass. Lastly, payment was odd. I had to tell the waiter the percentage I wanted to give when paying the bill. In Cabo.... Go see it once. Live the experience . After that, go elsewhere.Better food can be found in local places

    It was my first time in Cabo and I knew I needed to stop by to visit Cabo Wabo. The ambiance is funky, hip and very cool to be at.. The waitress was attentive, helpful and very quick. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is due to the food.. it was lacking spice or any flavor ( reminded me of a Mexican Applebees) and one of the friends had a shrimp taco that she couldn't eat and it actually has flies following the plate from the kitchen.. if you go to Cabo Wabo- grab some drink- they are amazing ( I had "I can't drive 55" Yum) , buy a Tshirt- amazing gift shop, but don't have any food- it's not worth it.. LOTs of other great food options in Cabo..

    When in Cabo, you need to stop at the Cabo Wabo. Good bands. Good food. Good service. The lines can get long if they have some kind of special entertainment, or if Sammy is expected to be there. It's worth checking out. It's only about a 5 minute walk from the end of the marina.

    My boyfriend has always wanted to go there so that was our first stop and I'm glad it was. They had these lobster tostadas that were killer and their drinks were delicious fun atmosphere very friendly people can't wait to go back.

    I took a cruise a few weeks ago and stopped in at Cabo Wabo for a drink. I am so glad that I did! The service was on point, all the ladies and gents were really hustling, polite and professional. I loved all the music that was playing and the atmosphere was fantastic! I sat in an open air area so there was a light breeze going through and it felt really good! Drinks are a little expensive, but I didn't care, I was more there to say that I had been there, it was on my bucket list! I really enjoyed the short time that I was there, just taking it all in. I saw that they have a gift shop just outside and avoided that. Thankfully Cabo Wabo was only a short walk from the spot that my tour was meeting at. The next time I am in Cabo, I will stay long enough to grab a bite to eat as well, Mexican is my favorite food!

    This is an adorable restaurant, just what we wanted from Cabo. We have ordered the coconut shrimp which was delicious. The garlic and soy sauce dip was a good complement to it. They have an appetizer coconut shrimp that only comes with the shrimp. The meal portion comes with yellow rice and grilled veggies. The service was faster than we expected given that all the tables around us had no food or drinks when we sat down. All around, a great place to stop when in Cabo San Lucas.

    Had chips and salsa at the place and had a couple drinks all good. fun vibe and cool things to look at. Glad we went in. Service was good and friendly

The live mariachi band was incredibly talented and created the perfect atmosphere for the evening. The staff was welcoming, fun, and professional, making us feel like valued guests from start to finish. Their recommendation to order the appetizer sampler was spot on--the fundido, quesadilla, empanadas, and sopes were all fantastic and perfect for sharing. The carnitas were unbelievably tender and full of flavor, while the sea bass had everyone at the table raving. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, dessert stole the show! The flan was silky smooth, the churros were warm and crispy, and the tres leches tequila cake was an absolute must-try. To top it all off, the cocktails were creative, beautifully presented, and just as delicious as the food.

But that was the end of the positive things as a swarm of flies quickly came to eat the food. Trying to swat them away helped a bit but there was way too many of them. I eventually flagged a waiter down, and he shrugged at the flies. A minute later some candle flame thing came out saying that it will help with the flies but already that was too late as flies were all over the food and I lost my appetite at that point. It was disgusting. I just got up and left. Went to cashier to pay my bill. The cashier also shrugged at my fly incident, and I asked how much it was going to be. Full price. No consideration about bad operating environment and since they knew about the fly issue they didnt setup before food was served to control it better. Even after bringing it up again in detail, she shrugged again. No sorry or anything, just a brush off. Then to make it even worse she asked if I wanted to tip the service. I was in there for a few minutes, staff didnt help quickly or even pre-empt the fly issue, and I'm being asked to pay full price. Sorry but no thanks. How did this place get on the Michelin list? Service poor. Environment poor. Zero or negative star rating for me.
