    We had a nice dinner here on Sunday night. They had a delicious flank steak special for $22. We added 4 jumbo grilled shrimp for $10 and my wife and I shared it. Plenty of food. Cooked perfectly. Delicious!!

    Taco plate. Tasty and full of flavor

    In October we traveled to Cabo for a girls trip. We found this place online and decided to try. Conveniently located near our Airbnb. We had 7 woman total. They had a very nice area in back with air conditioning. We had great servers attending to us from minute we got there. They also had the football game on which was nice for One of our football fans. The service was ex Ellen's. The restaurant nicely decorated. Servers attentive for entire experience. We were brought courtesy empanadas that were amazing. We had many different dishes from tacos, to steak and lobster and we had the special if day Pork Chamorro braised for 12 hours and it was amazing. The food was impeccable. The appetizers were tasty with every bite. We were so happy we came here for our Fancy dinner experience. Highly recommend for casual or fine dining

    Just a silly American trying to find a cool Mexican spot who can understand me and give me authentic food! This place delivers! Amazing people and hospitality for our group of 5. Definitely would recommend!!!

    menu and food!

    Kauil is amazing!! The food, ambiance, and service from Victor, Gustavo, and Daniel were amazing. They were attentive, and made sure we had everything we need. We were here for the Monday night special: Molcatjete. It was AMAZING!! My Mom and I had coconut shrimp, which had an amazing homemade sauce. My sister got the Chile Rellanao, which came in a full bell pepper. We had margaritas, paloma's, wine, and mojitos, ending the night with the brownie sunday and churro!! Everything was great. Their new location has a great ambiance. I highly highly recommend bringing your family here for amazing food!!

    Table side cesar salad prep

    Their daily deals are the best! We went on Sunday for their 14 oz Vacio steak for $22 US. We also got their table side prepared cesar salad. Our waiter explained each step of making the dressing - so much better than the typical bottled Cesar salad dressing! The kitchen also gave us complimentary cheese and bean empanadas with three kinds of salsa. We were stuffed with all the amazing food. Great staff, very attentive and helpful! The restaurant has a front patio, an air conditioned room, and a back courtyard seating area. We got there early and had our pick of seating.

    This was one of the lasts restaurants we visited on our recent Cabo family vacation. A local recommended the restaurant, but the smells alone while passing the made us stop. All of the food was served hot and it was made to order. I tried the coconut shrimp. I have an obsession with coconut shrimp so I am probably harder to impress than the next guy, but these were pretty good. (FYI - My absolute favorite I've ever had was at Coconuts in Hawaii. If you visit, seek those out!) The table made guac was delicious and had just the right amount of lime juice, garlic, and ratio of onions. The chili relleno itself was very cheesey and had an abundance of shrimp. Really hit the spot. The service was top notch and we were able to order right away even though the place was pretty full. The bathrooms are neat and clean. Men's restroom has two urinals and two toilets.

    This restaurant made me re-think other restaurants that I've given 5 stars because it was even better than most of them. The babyback ribs were the Saturday special served with a cabbage salad, fries, and bread. Great value and very tasty! We also tried the pastor shrimp tacos. They were packed full and very filling. As a surprise they served us 2 tasty quesadillas with 3 different salsas. The restaurant has several different areas for seating and is laid out comfortably. The service was attentive and the waiters frequently checked our needs and satisfaction. This restaurant caters to tourists, but don't let that stop you. We will definitely take our friends here when they visit.

To top it all off, the cocktails were creative, beautifully presented, and just as delicious as the food.

We're not sure what caused it--possibly the salsa that had been sitting out during the rain--but it was hard to ignore. I'll leave it at that. It may have been a one-off situation, but I'm unsure if we'd return. If we do come back to Cabo and decide to try this place again and get sick a second time, that would be the final straw.

Extremely friendly and attentive staff with expert knowledge of the menu and fabulous suggestions. What we ordered: - Peruvian Ceviche (fresh catch of the day) - Shrimp Chipotle - El Takeshi - Al pastor in fried cheese shell - Bone Marrow taco was hands down thee best!

We kicked off our dinner with a complimentary cup of broth which was delicious and very umami. Then we got the crunchy volcano off of the appetizer menu plus a variety of tacos: santo pastor, cheese crust pastor, Nayarit style fish, duck with mole, and beef fillet & bone marrow. Out of everything we tried, the beef fillet & bone marrow was a definite highlight -- the addition of the bone marrow adds so much richness and flavor! Other than that, I did enjoy the crunchy volcano tostada and both of the pastor tacos, plus my husband absolutely LOVED the cheese crust pastor! The biggest miss in my opinion was the duck with mole, as I wasn't a huge fan of the hibiscus compote it comes with... After we had our fill of tacos, we ended our dinner with the flan. It was good but the texture was more akin to that of a cheesecake than a typical flan (more dense). Overall it was nice to try the food here, but I did prefer the tacos at Tacos Gardenias!
