Get the stuffed potato! Get the strawberry daiquiri! Ask for Omar. He is incredible and a true professional. Our group was rowdy and a lot to handle and he never lost his cool, gave great recommendations, hit every mark and made us feel so welcome. Omar, you're the man! God bless you! read more

Delicious and a great deal. We also ordered two sopes and a volcane which was essentially a taco covered cheese! Amazing service, everything came incredibly fast! Highly recommended read more

Las Guacamayas - La molcajetes combination. This came with steak, chicken, and chorizo - Mexican Near Me - Cabo San Lucas, BCS

LOVE Las Guacamayas. Every time we are in San Jose we go. BEST PASTOR tacos. Get the La Gringa! 10/10 every time. Salsas & services are always excellent. I dream about the pastor when back at home! read more

The molcajete is fabulous, and the variety set of salsas and such they bring make every dish perfect. We always go at least once while staying in Cabo. Jazmine was a wonderful waitress, with many others waiting and ready to serve. Very friendly atmosphere. We sat upstairs overlooking the street. read more

Las Guacamayas - Combination molcajete. Enough for two! - Mexican Near Me - Cabo San Lucas, BCS

This place has been recommended to me several time both a couple different people - and I now know why. Nice place (under a large palapa) and the night we stopped in they had a singer starting at 7pm. Drinks we just OK, but I tried their dirty martini and it was a bad choice! I followed up with a cold hibiscus tea with vodka and loved it. Tacos were amazing and the chips and salsa was equally delicious. Definitely order the home made guacamole. My personal recommendation is the riblet taco - great flavor, but you can't go wrong on any of the taco choices. read more

My boyfriend and I had such a good time at Las Guacamayas! The food was so good and came out hot and fresh. Everything tasted authentic, and the portions were more than enough. It's a fun, laid back spot with a great local vibe. The staff was really friendly and made us feel right at home. Definitely a place we'd go back to! Thank you! read more

Tucked away on a side street in San Jose del Cabo, this is a jewel. From the moment you're welcomed in until you walk out it's the vibe you craze down here. Smiles everywhere and then the chip platter arrives and it's WOW to the end. Guac? Outrageous Stuffed baked potato with pastor, a great combo of flavors and Deb's stone bowl just is huge and fantastic. Then you see a basket and think "why not?" and its the best flour tortilla you've ever eaten. Jasmine took such great care of us i had to take a picture with her and the whole wonderful staff joined in. Best night you can have in San Jose!!! Yelp it, go eat, drink and laugh. read more

Hand down one of my old time favorite places in San Jose. This place has grown so much from the time we use to come here long time back. The locals now figured out this gem and you can never go wrong with this place. Food is always amazing and very flavorful. The people working provide great service and always on top of things. The ambiance at night is more enjoyable with the live music that starts later into the evening. read more

Not sure if I am reviewing the same location, but since it's likely owned by the same people, wanted to say this review is for the San Jose Del Cabo restaurant. Everything about this restaurant was great. We came close to closing time on a Sunday so it was pretty dead, but I can see how busy and lively this place can be on a Friday or Saturday night. Service was great, the food was really good, and drinks tasty. The only thing I'd say is check your bill. They didn't overcharge us but since I had an idea of what the bill would be in USD, I was shocked to see it was about $20 USD more. After talking to the waitress, she explained that paying in pesos is cheaper at the current 20 pesos per dollar rate. If you pay with a credit card, their exchange is 15 pesos per dollar. That said, we had enough to pay in pesos and took them up on that offer. You may not care but $20 USD is three drinks in Cabo. I had no problem with them determining the exchange rate as it is their restaurant, but I think it should be mentioned or there should be a sign, as most places do offer that info upon arrival. Would definitely return! read more

This place was recommended by no less than a handful of locals while in Cabo. Stepping into the restaurant, you know you're in a good spot when the amount of tourists is almost nil. Seafood items is where they shine, anything with fish/shrimp/octopus! read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 This festive open air restaurant certainly draw in a mix of locals and tourists. The live acoustic music was a nice touch too. On a warm night, with a little breeze, it's a pretty good place to grab some food and drinks. Sitting near the Al Pastor carving station, we enjoyed a nice show whenever someone ordered this item. The server would blast the flames and shave the pork for the tacos. Lastly, with a flick of the wrist, a piece of pineapple from the top of the spit would come flying down onto the plate, perfectly landing on the tacos. This was an absolute delight to watch. As for the food, the previously mentioned Al Pastor Tacos were quite delicious. Another interesting dish was the No Que No (Didn't You Say No), which was a cheesy concoction of poblano peppers, skirt steak, and pork shoulder (though I am pretty sure it was pork chop because of the bone that was included). Popped a little bit of everything into a chewy tortilla, add a little hot sauce and fresh salsa ... ... mmm so good. Chicharron de Queso (Thin Rolled Up Fried Cheese) was also an interesting appetizer, though quite filling. However, we did not enjoy the Pata de Res (Cow's Foot Tostada) because you can't really taste it like in a Menudo. Another fail was the Molcajete (combination of meats, cheese & vegetables), which was our least favorite item and most expensive. Luckily, our last bite of the meal was their Churros with four dipping sauces. Crunchy and airy, these were the best version we had on the trip. For that reason alone, we'll likely be back next time in Cabo. read more

The guacamayas in San Jose is WAY better than the Cabo location. It's always filled with a mix of locals and tourists. The pastor tacos with extra pineapple are incredible and their stuffed potatoes are killer as well. Ask your server for meat recommendations but we love the flank steak on top. Service is generally pretty good, just depends on how busy they are. Ambiance is really fun here as well, most of the time they have live music of some sort. Great little find, put it on your list. read more

Really enjoyed this place as our first authentic restaurant experience! Located in an area near residential and other small shops. Lots of tourists come here which made me feel like i was in the right place. They put all these salsas on our table right away, i looveee salsas so was very happy. Asked if we wanted to order a drink so i drank a strawberry margarita which was tasty and very sweet (could not finish). The guac was a little hard but still good, nice thick chips. Highlight was the carne asada tacos for me. We ordered 4 (2 each) and they gave 2x the amount taco places in US give. I was full after one. The asada was so juicy and flavorful as well. Not like in America. Was very happy with the meal. I sprinkled all the salsas on the tacos and ate all the pico de gallo and onions as well. Our whole meal was $40 US dollars and we tipped 100pesos. Would def recommend to check out!! read more

Great authentic Mexican food with friendly service. Be specific about your alcohol, they charged us for top-shelf, even after specifying house. Yes, I agree with many reviews, review your bill! read more

For those from the US, once you eat this food there will be little that you can compare it to in the states. Get off the strip and come here for the best food. My only regret is that we are leaving tomorrow and won't be able to come back. We had an octopus quesadilla, the steak/ chorizo/bell pepper/cheese plate, queso fundido with chorizo. Hand made tortillas made from real corn (no masa powder) and six different salsas with cebollitas-all complimentary with the meal. The best!!! read more

We enjoyed eating here twice on our vacation in Cabo over Christmas. The food was fantastic. We especially enjoyed the pork and steak tacos. The Miami Vice piña colada was also delicious. The servers are very kind and the atmosphere is great. I highly recommend it. read more

This is a must when in San Jose del Cabo. The service and ambiance is amazing. Our waitress was super attentive even with our small language barrier. The restaurant was all together wonderful.

Muchos Gracias Las Guacamayas you made our trip to Mexico! read more

Tried this place on recommendation of our hotel shuttle driver. Easy to find and on one the main streets but away from the crowds of the marina. Restaurant has an open air concept which was very nice in the warm weather and food for people watching. Definitely ask for a fan as that helps keep it cool and helps with keeping flies somewhat at bay. Compared to many of the other places in the area, prices here more reasonable and food was solid. Definitely saw more local ppl than some other places closer to Marina. For a total of 5 tacos (shrimp, fish x2, grilled octopus, and a "volcano" cheese and barbacoa), one whisky cocktail, one pina colada, chips, and bottle water, total was ~$40, which is not bad considering prices in cabo nowadays can be quite expensive. read more

We asked our driver to take us somewhere authentic and we ended up here. He said it had fresh fruits and boasted them having the best sopes. Lucky we which was me, my father and my two teens. I didn't eat many places in Mexico but out of them all this one had the MOST authentic Mexican food. They had their own brand of tequila in this huge open airy restaurant with leaves for a roof. Fresh salsas topped our table as I ordered a very refreshing Mojito. Don't be like me and think Mexican food in America is what you are going to get because if I tell you I was slightly embarrassed to ask the waitress to explain everything on the menu. And the way she looked at me like if this girl don't hurry up and eat and go away. Probably the most confused and touristy I have ever looked in my life. I managed to get a tostada which I thought was simple enough. My teens got some BANGING beef tacos and I think my dad got the sopes. They had a huge pork roasting in a spit with pineapples in top and bottom. And across from us a group of young locals came in to drink beers and chill. They had the Michaeloda I was so freaking jealous as if I didn't have the opportunity to order. I just didn't know what that was. Anyway we left full and I was super happy to get to eat authentic Mexican food even if it wasn't my idea and I was like super scared when we pulled up. Nothing to be afraid of but some fresh salsas and tequila. I hope one day I get to return. I would love to try more things. read more

Our friends had taken us to this location this past week because it is their favorite restaurant in San Jose Del Cabo. Their flank steak molcajte is something that I will dream about forever. This was literally the BEST meal of my life and I want to go back! It is big enough to split between 2-3 people. We ordered 2 for four people and had enough leftovers (adding homemade tortillas and beans from the house around the corner) for a delicious breakfast. There is also a cooked cheese appetizer that was delicious. I also had a jalapeño margarita which was phenomenal. 10/10 recommend this place. Hands down the best food of 2024, but probably of my life! *Did not take picture of food because we just dove in when it arrived and never stopped. read more

So good! Las Guacamayas was recommended to us at our condo. Since our first visit, we always go twice during our stay in the area. Service is good (sometimes great) and the food flavorful and filing. We usually come for Al pastor tacos and have tried a few other items. They serve you all the delicious salads and condiments with each meal. The salsa so good that we order chips for more salsa. The nopales side is always a treat along with their churros. This is an open air restaurant and they have an upper level that is used during their busy nights. Nights usually entail live music that can get so loud it's difficult to have table conversations. Look forward to next years visit. read more

Last night was my 5th time at Guacamayas and it never disappoints! My first visit was in 2019. The wait staff and host are so friendly and they are genuinely happy to help you. Lots of locals eat here. I have eaten so many items off the menu over the past few years and everything it wonderful. The menu is in Spanish on one side and English on the other, so ordering is easy. I think my favorite menu item is "No Qué No", which is flank steak with poblano chilis and cheese. They put in just the right amount of cheese (I hate having to pick melted cheese off my food). We even ordered Chicken Fajitas to-go so we could have them for lunch today. The restaurant itself is open air with a thatched roof. It gets hot in there and sometimes smokey from the kitchen. If you sit upstairs above the kitchen, be prepared for smoke! Last night's musician was very talented and we enjoyed listening to him. read more

Love this place! Love how many locals come here and some tourists that know about this place. I love the colors and ambiance coming from this place. We came on a Friday night and there was a man singing. We were immediately greeted and seated right away. There were a few people seated but by the time we left there were more groups coming in. Service here was very fast but friendly. We were given chips and a variety of salsa, cucumber and grilled onions. We ordered tacos Al pastor and there were plenty of Al pastor. It was also nice to be seated by their open kitchen and watch the guy slicing the Al pastor right away. We also ordered their arrachera sope but it was something we were not used to, so that was ok. But the star of the night was the papas rellenas! A huge size baked potato stuffed with arrachera meat, butter and cheese! The potato was nice a soft and creamy with butter and cheese. Then there was plenty of meat on top of the potato. It came with a choice of corn or flour tortillas. It was soo good ! We dream about that potato every night during our trip ! read more

Gonna dream about this meal. Ordered the stuffed baked potato with pastor (pork). It was AMAZING. I took leftovers home and it was enough for two other meals. It was like a twice baked potato with yummy pork mixed in. Delicious. Another win was their pina colada. It had pieces of fresh coconut in it. So yummy. I wish I could go weekly! read more

Family and I have been coming to Cabo every single year for the last 13 years. Guacamayas has always been on our must when we are here. Sadly, this time around we were disappointed. The food was not as authentic as before. The aguas had no flavor, very watered down. The salsas tasted off, and the arracherra on my volcán was barely making an appearance. I was like okay, let me just order another one, and this time, the steak was there but the cheese was no where to be found. I told them I asked for a volcán but it had no cheese and he got extremely close to my volcán and said, there is some cheese there lol Ambiance also has changed very much since we last came. They used to have live music and this time, there was nothing, not even music. Common, you're in Mexico, a restaurant without music?... I guess it's time to find other taco spots. read more
