    I love tamales - love them, but am admittedly often frustrated even by the highly acclaimed spots…read morein my home of Los Angeles that claim to have a wide variety of tamales that will rival what your friend's Mexican mother or grandmother will spend hours making during the holidays. They often don't, but the Tamales here on the street in Cabo San Lucas absolutely do. These were some of the best tamales I've ever had. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? You've got a guy right? And he's sitting there next to two trash cans (literal trash cans). His English isn't very good but he can make do, and in one trash can he's got standard husk tamales and in the other he's got those wrapped in banana leaves with a variety of fillings. That's it. That's the tweet, and if you walk by this man with his trash cans you're doing yourself a disservice. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? These tamales are big, and pretty much regardless of which ones you get they're $1.00 each, which is absolutely insane. The deal of a lifetime. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? It's hard to even describe how much I loved these, but I'll try to do so in pointing out that I went two nights in a row and also had some warmed up the following day before I headed to the airport. Whether you go husk or banana leaf these are perfectly moist either fresh or warmed up, and the filling ratio delivers with flavorful meats. Amazing. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Some of the best tamales I've ever had. Star.

    I had been talking about this spot like a crazy person all week while in Cabo, and on our last day…read moreI finally decided to go looking for these tamales. I did some research and had the spot narrowed down where I thought it would be, but was sad to see I was mistaken when I searched it out in the early afternoon. To my surprise, these glorious tamales don't make their appearance until later in the day and then are served until 11pm (or probably when demand dies down or they're out of stuff). I happened upon it (exactly where I thought it'd be) as we walked over for a cup of coffee and excitedly got in line to order a couple of tamales. They have several different options, but I chose to go with the cheese and pepper and the pork. Words cannot describe how amazing these tamales were. These things are MASSIVE (you could use the corn husks they wrap them in as a car cover) and by far the most delicious tamale I've had in my life. The masa is outstanding and the meat to masa ratio is great. The cheese and pepper tamale was a little spicy but still fantastic. The pork was out of this world. My mouth is salivating right now just writing about it. They were so good that I went back before the end of the night and got 2 more tamales as a nightcap. I tried the chicken and the beef and those were both amazing as well. Even though it looks shady (they pretty much serve them out of a giant bin that looks like a trash can), these are by far the best tamales you'll have in Cabo. I have such good memories that I get faintly turned on anytime I see a metal trash can now. It brings back my memory of those great tamales and I re-live the joy that I experienced that night. Do yourself a favor and try this. I had a wide range of meals while I was there and I can honestly say this was my favorite meal of the whole trip. For 20 pesos per tamale it'll likely also be the cheapest meal you have as well. I'd give this 100 stars if I could.

    Went there for a late lunch. It was not very busy. Service was very prompt and friendly…read more Food was excellent, including some great vegetarian options. They even offered us some complimentary chips and a variety of fresh and tasty salsas. The cactus tacos and guacamole was also nice. They had nice decor and wall artwork that added to the charm. Would recommend stopping by for a taco or two if you're in the area.

    Wow! What a great experience we had at La Lupita Taco and Mezcal…read more This is a taco place. Don't expect any else on the menu except soup & salad and a couple of apps & sides. There is an indoor area or outside courtyard you can choose from. We had the pleasure of working with several Staff members including our main waiter, Marco as well as Ivan and Miriam. They were all so fun and attentive. They brought us a small serving of soup as an appetizer. My husband had a taste of the tortilla broth which had a little kick to it and I had the bean soup. Both were a nice sampling of the soup they offered. We ordered the chips & huac to start. The chips were thick and crispy. The guacamole tasted super fresh and bright. Now, the tacos are some of the best tacos we've ever eaten in MX or the US. The creativity and variety of toppings were outstanding. I really enjoyed the EL TAKESHI 190MX Rib Eye, Sesame, Hoisin, Ginger, Chives, Crispy Shallots, Flour tortilla. The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavor they developed was delicious. I also ordered the MEXICAN FLANK STEAK $150MX. Fresh Chiapas Cheese , Arugula, Crispy Leek & Potato, Macha Sauce, Yellow Corn tortillas. All these flavors worked so well together. One of the tastiest tacos they have on the menu is a cheese based tortilla taco called CHEESE CRUST PASTOR $100MX. Talk about a flavor bomb. Marinated Pork, Asadero Cheese Crust, Cilantro, Onion, Pineapple. My husband also ordered the CHIPOTLE SHRIMP $165MX. Shrimp, Chipotle Cream, fried parsley, flour tortilla. He loved it. For my Arizona friends, they will be opening a Scottsdale location in 2027. I can wait. Add this to your must try restaurants. Also, they just opened a location in Dallas Texas.

    I've been coming to Cabo for many years and I tried it about 20 years ago and felt like it was just…read moreanother tourist trap ( I guess I ordered the wrong thing). This last trip I took a bunch of the family because the place we were going to go to didn't have imperial shrimp and my wife was set on having that as it was our last night for this trip. Anyway, I was very wrong, the food was great. Steak, lobster, shrimp and molcajete were great. The only bump in the road was the imperial shrimp which was overcooked. We'll be back for sure.

    A good traveler learns one thing fast: the best meals usually come from places that look like they…read moremight fail a beauty contest. That's exactly how you find Maro's Shrimp House. 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.

The setting is absolutely stunning, elegant, upscale, and beautifully designed, making it perfect for a special dinner. If you're visiting on a Friday or Saturday, the live singers and entertainment create an incredible atmosphere that makes the evening even more memorable. The food is consistently delicious, with a great variety of dishes and beautiful presentation. Every meal we've had has been flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. If you're a tequila or, especially, a mezcal lover, you're in for a treat. Their selection is outstanding, and they offer fantastic tasting experiences with an impressive variety to explore. Between the gorgeous ambiance, amazing food, excellent entertainment, and one of the best tequila and mezcal selections I've seen, Mezcal is a restaurant we look forward to returning to every single year. Highly recommended!

    We ended up coming here twice for dinner. The first time was for our anniversary and they made it…read moreso special. Service was very attentive. We had several small plates, all were very good. We were very full so skipped the main course and had the chocolate tamal for dessert and they brought us an entremet type dessert as well. Both were soooo good. The second time we ordered it for room service and they were able to accommodate, as we previously left another dinner hungry. We had the kampachi and carne asada with mashed potatoes. Although the carne asada was slightly over cooked, the flavor was so incredibly good- I didn't care. The potatoes were perfect and they left a little nice touch of bite sized desserts. I feel like in the restaurant and room service both, they went above and beyond. This was our favorite meal in Cabo.
