    Oh what can I say about El Coral that isn't obvious? first of all service is ASTOUNDING! thank you to all the staff especially Angel for serving my fiancée and I! we had cadillac margs and cantaritos and bloody mary's and the best Chile en Nogada!!! seriously I had it twice in one day and wanted more!!!! 20/10 would come again for the fabulous service and great food!!!!!

    Yes!

    A spot right on the upper main road across from the marina. Big huge space with large bar and pool table. Quiet last night but service from Jaimi was great. Started with guacamole and super fresh chips and some vino. I had kind of a baked potato with cheese and carne asada. A bit bland but huge. Deb had beef fajitas and liked them but the killer was the (as always) the fresh flour tortillas... They take the passport card and that helps. I'd go back for lobsters....

    Trash can omelette

    We visit this location every time we visit Cabo for breakfast. Their omelettes are delicious, the portions of the dishes are quite large and they're served with Chilaquiles which are very tasty The open restaurant allows for the fresh air to come through as you enjoy your meal, the service is always amazing and very attentive to your needs. The restrooms are in the back and very clean and you can always do a pit stop at the parrot cage. I highly recommend a visit when you're in Cabo you will not regret it.

    It was ok.. pass on the French toast.. it didn't really have flavor to it. Just was a piece of Texas toast browned with strawberries on it.. could've passed on it. The omelette was ok. My food Definitely wasn't worth $36 USD..

    Delicious Lobster Tail
    Lou D.

    We love this place!! The first dinner we ever ate in Cabo was at El Coral and it's been a mainstay for us ever since. You can't walk by without taking notice of the wonderful smell of El Coral's mesquite wood grill cooking up a variety of different meats for their customers. It is absolutely intoxicating. The restaurant is an open air joint with a rustic Mexican feel. El Coral has seating for couples and groups. The bar is well stocked serving delicious margaritas, cerveza and a variety of cocktails. I've had a number of dishes at El Coral but my must have meals are their Arrachera or Chile Rellanó. The Chile Rellanós are very traditional and can be filled with queso and smothered in red sauce. The Arrachera is mesquite grilled, tender and juicy. I'm a big fan of Arrachera and El Coral's is among the best I've ever had. Both plates, along with all other entrees at El Coral are generous in their portions. My favorite side dishes, beans & rice, are also delicious. My wife asked me to mention the lobster tail dinner which was excellent also. As for beverages I typically get their Cadillac Margarita. It's a well crafted drink using top shelf tequila. At $8 it's an incredible value for such deliciousness. The staff at El Coral is always friendly, attentive and reasonably fast. I didn't highlight their breakfasts but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

    Five star food and service. I stayed at all inclusive resort across street. But I am not a fan of boring all inclusive dinners. I found this place. I loved the food and it was inexpensive. Try it! I had the garlic grilled red snapper and another night I had the blue crab. Both dinners were exceptionally good and inexpensive. I might get the lobster or octopus tonight. Go to marina for a walk but don't eat at the marina. It's a tourist trap. The food is not as good and they charge you double.

    The before, two nice dorados!

    We came here after a successful fishing trip and they did not disappoint! The wait staff were very friendly and the kitchen did a great job with our catch! Thank you Manuel!

Beautiful atmosphere with lights, plenty of tables, and clean bathrooms. The seafood is so fresh! We ordered the crab meat tostada, aguichiles, ceviche, grilled octopus dinner, garlic shrimp dinner, and fresh grilled fish (Acapulco style) for 2. The dinner plates cakes with a side of rice and steamed mixed vegetables. Everything was so fresh, delicious, tender, and so flavorful. As a group, we couldn't come to a consensus on what each of our favorite dish was. We each had our own favorite. Crab meat was sweet, garlic shrimp was buttery, grilled octopus was so tender, aguichiles was so citrusy... I can go on and on. Ask for fresh tortillas. Also don't skip their margarita. Strong, citrusy, and generous serving. They accept USD or pesos. Also strolling musicians will come by your table asking to play a song. Some will tell you the price up front others will expect a tip at the end.

    Mariscos La Palmita -- Incredible Seafood, Local Favorite & Amazing Value…read more This place came highly recommended, and after visiting, I totally understand why. The restaurant was packed with locals when we went -- always a great sign. Cash only, so come prepared. What We Ordered Chocolate Clams (Cooked) You can choose raw or cooked -- I went with cooked and it was delicious. Very fresh, no fishy smell at all. One thing to note: every seafood dish comes topped with garlic. I'm not a fan of garlic and didn't know ahead of time, so I rinsed it off with hot water -- still amazing. Calamari Fresh, tender, and very well cooked. Seafood Special Combination Fish and squid were excellent. Lobster and shrimp were okay, nothing too special compared to the others. Price & Value The prices here are unbelievably cheap. * 6 chocolate clams = 285 pesos * Waldorf restaurant: 2 clams for $48 USD * Another place we tried: 2 clams for 340 pesos After eating around Cabo, this place clearly stood out for both quality and price. We couldn't even finish everything and packed leftovers back to the hotel. Total bill for all dishes: around $100 USD -- incredible. Overall Huge portions, super fresh seafood, local vibes, and unbeatable value. If you're anywhere near Cabo San Lucas, this spot is a must-visit.

From the street it looks like a little hole-in-the-wall, the kind of spot you might almost miss if you're busy chasing fancy marina restaurants. But step inside and suddenly you're in on the secret. Open air, flags hanging everywhere, signatures on the walls from travelers who clearly had a very good night, and the kind of energy that says dinner might get a little rowdy. Now let's talk shrimp. Big, juicy, swimming in garlic, lime, butter, and Baja attitude. The kind of seafood that makes you stop mid-bite and look at your table like, "Yep... we picked the right place." If you love seafood with a Mexican twist, this place doesn't mess around. And then there's the legendary Bulldog drink. It's tequila, beer, citrus, and just enough mischief to make the table louder after the first round. Order one and you'll understand why people start signing their names on the walls like they just joined a Cabo fraternity. Bottom line: this isn't just dinner. It's a little Cabo adventure wrapped in garlic shrimp and cold drinks. If you want quiet elegance, go somewhere else. But if you want flavor, personality, and a story to tell later... pull up a chair. Killer line: Some restaurants serve food Maro's serves memories with a side of shrimp.

    I have been coming to Maro's Shrimp House since I found it, probably on Tripadvisor at the time,…read more way back in June 2016 and we make it a must on every trip to Cabo. Even when I was in Cabo on a cruise ship last Friday (11/28), had to hole up in my cabin on my laptop and work a half day (until 11am), missing out on my family's morning excursion all with a 1pm last tender call to get back to the ship... After my wife, mother-in-law, daughter & son's excursion with well reviewed Real Baja Tours (which I arranged separately instead of through the ship), all but my son were dropped off back at the ship as they wanted to skip out on the amazingness of Maro's. Yeah, I KNOW!! CRAZY!! The driver was nice enough to drop my son off at Maro's afterwards and the timing couldn't have been more perfect, just a few minutes before their 12pm opening time. Even though, we were a few minutes early, they gladly seated us right away. And very surprisingly, we were the only ones there for a good 20 minutes. From our very first visit in 2016, it is quite clear that the only things you need order is the shrimp and lobster which are fantastic...and THE BULLDOG (basically a giant schooner of margarita with an upended Coronita standing on its drowning head)...well, no Bulldogs for the boy. Service is very efficient and the friendly staff (despite not knowing too much English, except Maro himself, of course) is very attentive to any calls we had for refills of GARLIC WITH BUTTER (soooo much garlic, it was fantastic) & my dear, dear Bulldogs. Speaking of Bulldogs, they keep track of the most Bulldogs drunken in a sitting. I believe the current leader had 22...which is a superhuman feet because I was feeling quite FINE (read: tipsy) after my two. Also speaking of Bulldogs, on a visit in 2024, my kids, one friend of theirs and I witnessed a server giving 3 ladies a lapdance when they ordered one to share. Now that's service! Lol. Having told the staff we had to get outta there at 12:30pm, they delivered our wonderful meals very promptly and after first giving us totopos (tortilla chips) with two kinds of delicious salsa (well, a salsa and a pico de gallo). We each ordered the 1/4 kilo of lobster and 1/4 medium shrimp for $24.95 USD. (Note prices on the menu are conveniently in USD.) This was more than ample for one person but we prodded on and thoroughly enjoyed it, as always. With each plate, they serve the seafood with a very tasty rice pilaf and some pieces of squash or something I still can't figure out and after 2 Bulldogs, I completely forgot to ask about. They also give you a piping hot cup of that GARLIC WITH BUTTER served over a candle to keep hot which is brilliant. There is nothing worse than eating your giant platter of lobster and shrimp and the butter starts getting cold and becomes gluey and gloppy. That stuff is so good, we asked for another cup (and unlike American restaurants, it was free). On our visit in 2024, we actually got to meet Maro himself, took a picture with him, printed and framed it at home, brought it with us on the cruise and mounted it on the wall to the right of the L.A. Dodger flag, naturally. Since there wasn't any room left to write something with a provided marker, I added my DK to the bottom of the UCLA Bruin flag hidden near the back to the left. Oh, while you might think this place is a dingey dive by the look of the joint with its millions of marked up mostly collegiate flags lining the walls and rafters, the food makes it absolutely worth a visit...or two while you're in town. So save Edith's or Hacienda Y Cucina for the evenings (unless you want what I suspect would be a super fun & roudier crowd in the evenings). HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Wow, that's a David K 4x HIGHLY RECOMMEND so ya better go!
