    Menus - cute just like the decor
    Mary W.

    We had a great time here. Arrived on a Friday evening around dinner time, we were greeted friendly, seated and Nancy took care of us from the get go. She answered questions about drinks, and brought them out promptly. Also helped us pick tacos and recommended the cooked octopus, delicious. We also had carne asada and carnitas. All yummy and would order them again. I also had the mango smoothie and he had a Cadillac margarita and Modelo beer. Cute atmosphere, great, bright decor definitely add to the vibe. Kid friendly and adult friendly! If you're thinking about coming you definitely should!

    Its not bad... but traffic is LOUD. Its like a taco truck but u get to Sit down. El pastor taco is delish .

    Great little tourist spot perfect for taking bright colored pictures. Prices are a little expensive for it being Mexico and I expected the Tacos to be better considering all the reviews. My ceviche was a little bland but nothing a little lemon and salt couldn't help. they do prepare the guacamole at your table, which is kind of cool, but I recommend Gus's Nextdoor

    Laura, she was our waitress and she was amazing. We had a big party and she listened, didn't mess up anything, gave us options when we had questions and was attentive. The sauces were delish, tacos were soo good full of flavor, guacamole and cheese flat tortillas, amazing! Such a great find from our friends!

    This spot is amazing!!!! Reasonable price, great food great service. They give you multiple salsas to try with your dish. The margarita is charged and fresh. The aguachiles were mouth watering!!! Plus they give you large portions and are not stingy with their food! Everyone enjoyed their meal and it actually tasted like authentic Mexican food! The place is also super cute and nicely decorated has a bunch of lights and different sayings around the restaurant. I'll definitely be back! 10/10

    Out of all the places we ate at on vacation in Cabo, La TAQUIZA was my hubby's favorite. From the food, to the service and atmosphere. All were awesome! Huge portions too. I got the torta and ate half there and the other later. Still delicious the 2nd time. My hubby got tacos and really enjoyed them. We had a few tequila shots as well. A must visit!

    My husband and I took a cruise to Cabo San Lucas and wanted to try out a few taco places. I had read about this place on yelp and it was a few doors down from another place we just tried. We absolutely loved the atmosphere! He ordered an asada taco, and I ordered a grilled fish taco. They were served on a homemade flour tortilla. They brought out six different salsas. I was afraid to try a few since we were told they were really hot. Both of our tacos were delicious, and I'd definitely come back here again.

    Guacamole, chips and salsa.

    My husband and I each had three tacos, guacamole, chips and salsa. Everything was so delicious. The service was great, our server Lara was very friendly. Ambience is open air seating, centrally, located downtown.

    Looking for a hip and trendy place to eat when on port or vacationing in Cabo?? Just a short walk from the cruise terminal this place stands out amongst other tacos stands in all its pink, neon vintage aesthetic! Not only is the vibe super chill, the food is delicious! My favorite part was their salsa party. So many salsas to choose from. Beware of habernero. When they say hot, it is HOT. Taco must haves Asada Fish Cheese tortillas

    Birria tacos.

    12/16/2024 My first ever meal here in Mexico! I have always wanted to visit Mexico, and boarding a 7 day cruise on the Mexican Riviera made that a reality sooner than later. Where: in the central part of Cabo San Lucas. Our friendly tour guide that we paid for at the cruise port pointed out this colorful restaurant since we wanted tacos and margaritas. The restaurant: definitely a spot for the tourists, meaning us and everyone else. Light wood interior, colorful neon signage, and a tropical vibe highlights the restaurant. We sat at the front of the restaurant boarding the sidewalk because the only other available seating at the time was near the restroom. The wait staff: service was quite attentive and our meal came within minutes. What we ate: the obvious things to eat aside from concha's in Mexico are tacos and margaritas. The tacos and margaritas did not disappoint here. Tacos: birria, carnitas, chicken, fish, and steak - these really hit the spot. Drinks: lemon & mango margaritas, and hibiscus metzcalita. Big and delicious. The so-so: I think we were caught off guard by how much our meal came out to be, roughly USD $50 per person, with the inclusion of an 18% tip. I suppose we should have known better that our tour guide directed us to a touristy restaurant. We were expecting a much lesser meal in cost. Final thought: don't get me wrong, the food was fantastic, but that we could not justify the overall cost. Great experience above all.

    Randomly stopped at this restaurant and we weren't disappointed! Salsa variety was so good. A nice range from mild to spicy. My shrimp fajitas were delicious!! They had a mix of peppers, onions and bacon. Margaritas were tasty too! Laura provided really good service.

    Woohoo!!!! Que chistosos

    Delicious food with an extensive menu including really fresh and delicious seafood! The kitchen allows you to see your food being prepared by the chef and the assistants. The fully stocked bar offers such creative beverages; this place has really beautiful and yummy drinks. We loved the interactive atmosphere including great servers, wandering talented and entertaining performer the decor- tiles, dishes, glasses, photo backdrops that are beautifully decorated with so much color . Even inside, you feel like you're dining alfresco.

    Wowzers. If there is a restaurant that is an absolute must for some daytime drinks and bites then La Taquiza is going to have to be a must for your travels to Cabo San Lucas. We were walking the town and after checking out the leather shop right next door, everyone's stomachs began talking to us and we agreed it was time for a late lunch. The music was bumping at La Taquiza and we were ready for a fun time. This photo-centric spot is perfect for group photos and is so beautiful in person. The glass shaped hearts attached to the ceiling to the mosaic tiles at the bar giving it that posh touch. You'll even discover a photo-op moment with a splash of pink behind a wall of Casa Azul tequila bottles. We were promptly seated and had the chance to take a look at the menu and damn did they cover all the grounds for a delicious Mexican meal. Our table grabbed an order of house margaritas and I made the hard decision to enjoy a frozen mango margarita. Now for the sake of research, I have to say that this was probably one of the best frozen margaritas I've had in my life. I'm not taking that statement lightly when I say that either. The mango was not some pre-batch mixer nor was it overtly sweet, instead think of freshly pure mango to give the natural flavors of mango. After being served a tray of totopos and salsas, we started our meal with an order of their queso fundido with chorizo. The amount of cheese oozing from the molcajete was literally steaming and bubbling. Every bite was pure bliss and super savory with the right amount of chorizo. It was hard not to eat the whole dish alone. The bonus moment was the fried cheese served alongside it for the extra crunch. Everyone had a few different items to enjoy but I had to go with their tacos including their tripitas. Now for anyone who has had tripas, y'all know that you have to make sure they'pre properly cooked. Their tripas tacos were crispy and so delicious. So much so I had to order a second one lol. Make sure to splurge and make one (or two) of your tacos costra style and enjoy the extra layer of crispy cheese. Their pastor and asada tacos were well seasoned and very nice portions. What makes this a standout is the level of customer service and attentiveness. I can't stress enough how much everyone needs to go out and dine at La Taquiza!

No roof, string lighting and decor, a tree in the middle of the courtyard. Bar on one side. Covered dining tables on the other. Showed up at the perfect time. In between the lunch and dinner rush. 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! My mouth is watering just recalling the melt in your mouth, buttery deliciousness of the marrow sitting on top. Loved the salsa sampler they brought to the table. The depths of flavor and heat were a fabulous compliment to the food. I've seen mixed reviews about La Lupita. I happen to agree with the most positive recounts. Every single staff member from the host to the waiters to the other servers walking around were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall A+ experience. Drinks and food were delicious. And we truly enjoyed ourselves. Will be back on a return trip!

Every bite was outstanding, the quality was exceptional, and it's clear this place takes pride in what they serve. If you appreciate authentic flavors with a few creative twists, do yourself a favor and eat here. You won't regret it!

My husband and I ordered a variety of tacos for dinner including the fried battered fish, fried battered shrimp, grilled octopus, al pastor, and skirt steak. The tacos come out looking very simple, but that's because they bring lots of different toppings to the table so you can create your own perfect tacos! My favorites were the fried battered fish (pescado) and al pastor -- truly outstanding! In addition to the tacos, we also tried the quesabirria quesadilla which was a solid pick, and then we ended our meal with the flan which was incredible :) I wouldn't hesitate to come back again when I'm in Cabo next time!

It's a bit of a walk from the pier, but still within a comfortable tourist-friendly distance. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, and not long after, a line started forming, so timing worked in our favor. The restaurant is fully outdoors under a covered roof, so be prepared for the heat. The menu is limited and posted on the wall without prices, which made me a little nervous about potential tourist upcharges. Still, we decided to go for it and ordered al pastor and birria tacos with cheese, plus a Pacifico beer. While we waited, our waitress brought out a platter of taco toppings along with consommé. When the food arrived, it instantly became a highlight of our trip. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the consommé and toppings. The chili oil paste on the table was no joke and seriously eye-watering. A couple things to note: there are no restrooms or sinks, so we relied on our wet wipes and hand sanitizer. Our total for six tacos and a beer came out to $30 USD, which was a bit higher than expected, and I do wish there had been clearer pricing. That said, it was an authentic, memorable experience and one I'm really glad we checked out.

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!!!
