They offer daily specials at very reasonable prices. I ordered the octopus, and it was to die for perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. It was served over roasted vegetables with a side of rice. Sometimes, simple food prepared the right way can be just as satisfying as anything you'd find at a gourmet restaurant. The restaurant has an Argentine flair, with several tempting meat dishes on the menu. The daily special that day was a 12-hour roasted pork shank that looked absolutely mouthwatering, but I opted for the octopus instead and I'm glad I did. Everything was delicious, and I'll definitely be coming back to try some of their other dishes

They have a well diverse menu - seafood, steak, pastas, & more and everything we tried was well executed. The surf and turf platter was the hit of the night. Waiter told us it was good for 4 and it was definitely that, with leftovers. We also tried a pasta pomodero and it was yummy with a little kick. The imperial shrimp are a must get if you like shrimp. These are bacon wrapped, jalapeno stuffed. Yum! I would also highly recommend the tampiquena steak - Mexican style steak with a chile relleno. Best starters were queso fundido (MUST GET!) and the caprese was also very fresh! My one draw back was the temperature, but I know that's hard to fix. We came in August and it was very very hot and muggy. But didn't change our thoughts on the restaurant overall. Just something to note.

To make the best of our situation, Marco and his servers set out table fans and I asked for extra cloth napkins to be placed over our food.

However, service was great and Marco did his best to make the most of our less than stellar experience. Because we had an early 5:30p reservation, we were able to park in front of the restaurant.

Horrible Fat-Laden Beef Rib…read more Ordered the beef rib, which is supposedly their speciality. When it was served, I was confronted by a large bone almost completely encased in slimy fat. I called over the waitress, who immediately retrieved the plate and brought me another. It was just as bad. I had to saw through all the fat to retrieve a small portion of meat. The worst money I've ever spent. When the waitress asked me how everything was, I told her it was horrible and that I wished I'd ordered something else. She was indifferent. I would have thought she would have offered some reduction from our $400 family bill, but nope. I won't ever eat there again.

We ordered the rib eye steak plate, which came with vegetables and thinly sliced potatoes. We also ordered a lobster tail. House bread was complimentary, and it was very good. Our order was enough for us to share. Both the steak and lobster were cooked perfectly. Chamuyo also has a full bar, Mexican beers, and a few IPA selections. Regarding the service, it was excellent.

Our server, Rodrigo, and the rest of the staff provided excellent service that truly elevated our experience.

There was some real competition for top meal, but this one ran away with it. It is a little up the hill and slightly off the main tourist path from downtown Cabo, but still totally walkable and well worth the effort. And if you can plan ahead, go on a Monday. That is when they offer the Molcajete special, which is reason enough on its own to visit. I also heard their steak night is fantastic, so you really cannot go wrong. The space itself is beautiful. The dining room feels polished and inviting, and there is also a charming outdoor area if you prefer fresh air over AC. We kicked things off with the tableside guac, which was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want to start a meal. Even better, they brought out a complimentary little starter first, which is one of my absolute favorite restaurant traditions. In this case it was two mini empanadas, one mushroom and one cheese. Truly a Sophie's choice situation because both were excellent - hubby and I split them in half. For the main event, we split the Molcajete Monday special. You can choose your protein, and we went with steak, though chicken and (I think) shrimp were also options. It came with both corn and flour tortillas if you ask nicely, all housemade. The portion was easily enough for two. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly, sitting in a smoky, slightly spicy sauce in a traditional volcanic stone bowl. Absolutely delicious and one of those dishes you keep talking about long after the meal ends- and much to my travel companions dismay, I talked about it for many days after... Even though we were completely stuffed, I had already seen photos of the flan and could not skip it. We ordered that along with churros to share among four people. Do yourself a favor and skip the churros-- The towering flan is the star. Everyone at the table agreed it was the best we have ever had. A nearby table ordered the crème brûlée and looked genuinely jealous once they saw ours arrive. For what felt like a splurge night, the final bill was surprisingly reasonable, especially compared to US city prices. When you split dishes like we did, it feels like an incredible value for the quality. Treat yourself to this place. And if at all possible, go on a Monday. We almost went back a second time, which says everything. Bathrooms are also lovely, and there is an open kitchen. Service was great too. Treat yo-self!!!

It's hard to pay attention when every vendor is inviting you in to sample their wares, but we felt this one was worth stopping to read the menu. A friendly gentleman showed us the menu and gave us a coupon for free drinks ( with a minimum order). As we were not hungry at the moment, and more window shopping was required to build up out appetite, we took the coupon and continued on our quest to find a necklace for a pendant my wife has. An hour or so later, after finding the necklace she was wanting, it was time to reward our grumbling stomach with some much needed nourishment. We had looked at other establishments along the way, but the promise of fresh caught fish was what reeled us in. After re-reading the menu, we decided to go light instead of overeating and split the ceviche and to tacos. A generous portion of ceviche was cooked perfectly in citrus and then drained and shaped into a thick round stack. Served with house made chips and saltine crackers, it was more than enough for us, but I wanted to try a couple of tacos as well. One Sea Bass and one octopus, on a flour tortilla, again, to wears cooked and seasoned well and we enjoyed them both as well. I jacked that I could eat a half dozen of each!
