We asked our taxi driver to take us to the best fish tacos is Los Cabos San Lucas. Our driver took is to Los Claros and what a spectacular choice. Service was fast and friendly. The tacos, Oh the tacos. I had 2 pescado capeado tacos, 2 marlin tacos and a shrimp taco. By far, the marlin tacos were my favorite. I would travel back to Cabo San Lucas just to eat the marlin tacos again. The store is in a very walkable area of downtown town and has an enclosed eating area and an open area, which was excellent.
We actually tried this place while on a cruise a year ago, in which, subsequent to the time we spent in Cabo, we got pretty sick, so I never got around to writing a review of it, but I'd remembered the food was great. So when we were back in Cabo last month on another cruise (fixing our mistake the first time by *not* going anywhere the previous week to be exposed to anything), I figured I'd go back and review it properly (also because, again, the food was great, definitely better than any Mexican-style ceviche I've had in the US, certainly for the price). Anyway, I can't say this is the best seafood we had on our cruise last month, but it is certainly possible it's the best in Cabo (the best Mexican seafood I had that trip, and also *ever*, was in Puerto Vallarta). It was definitely great, though, both times. I was with my wife, so we got to try a good amount of the menu - spent about 30 bucks, for food for two people. (Well, ~30 bucks US if you have the pesos - they only take cash, and while they *do* take USD, their exchange rate is... not good. Would've been ~35 if we hadn't had enough Mexican bills.) I was especially excited to try the smoked marlin tacos, which they had been out of the previous visit - they are *excellent* (if I'm ever back in Cabo, I'd probably get a couple of them). The scallop tacos were also great, as was the mixto (one note: the only difference between the mixto as an order of ceviche, and as a "tostada", is whether they plate it for you vs plating it yourself, so the former is a much better value.) We also shared a "half order" of guacamole, which was pretty substantial for a "half order" (also great). The only food item I wasn't particularly impressed with was the crab tostada, which was... pretty bland. (Though enjoyable enough after dousing it with hot sauces, it was definitely the one I was by far the least impressed with by itself.) I can also confirm, from the previous visit, the fried fish tacos were great, too. One thing this place also definitely has going for it over the street food vendor I'm comparing it to in PV: a buffet-style setup of not just salsas, but also complimentary unlimited-with-purchase creamy corn salad, cabbage salad and spicy pickled onions. (Also great salsas - though their spicy ones do *not* mess around.) Another thing it has going for it: great drinks, both aguas frescas (their horchata and jamaica are both great, and a glass is enough to share with someone), and micheladas (they only have standard mainstream Mexican beers, nothing craft, but their michelada mixes are great - I tried the mango-flavored one, and it is highly recommended.) Definitely wish there was a place like this in Long Beach (mostly I wish there was a seafood place with *prices* like this in Long Beach.)
I was excited to try this place after hearing from others how great it was, but I was truly disappointed. I ordered the crispy fish taco. It was pretty flavorless. You can tell from the picture that the breading came off the fish. I also ordered the mar y Tiera taco and it lacked flavor, meat was tough. Service was slow also.
A delicious, unassuming, hole-in-the-wall establishment tucked away in an alley off one of the main streets in Cabo San Lucas. I ordered 3 tacos: one fried shrimp, an octopus, and a mixed seafood. For appetizers, my boyfriend and I ordered a small chips and guacamole and a fish ceviche. Everything was made to order, and the seafood quality itself was super fresh (given how close we were to the marina). I assumed the tacos would be on the smaller side, but they were larger than we thought, so we walked out of our meal absolutely stuffed. Sitting on the patio, we watched as the chef took out the seafood (from an Igloo cooler, mind you), battered our seafood, and fried it on the spot. The batter was light and crispy, which was surprising to me as it was some sort of flour coating and not a beer-batter like I was expecting. This meal was definitely our highlight of the trip and a nice reprieve from the all-inclusive resort food we'd been eating all week. A note: one of the hostesses speaks English, but our server spoke very little English. I was able to scrape by with the intermediate-level Spanish I know, but I did see a table next to us communicating with our server through Google Translate.
We were looking for a place to have tacos & good thing a local recommended this place to us. It's kinda off the beat and path but close enough. We had the special which comes with 3 tacos & a shot of tequila & beer for $18! What deal! Guac & chips for $3 This place was great! The tequila shot was anejo & it was very smooth! Tacos were delish & shrimp was my favorite. They played great music & owner was super nice!
Los Claros is definitely a local spot to grab a bite to eat. No tourists here...maybe an odd straggler like myself... (-‿) Nothing fancy about this place, just some good seafood local Cabo style. They do have a full bar, but I didn't get any drinks. We just stopped by for a quick bite to eat, and didn't dig deep into the menu. Their specialty is a Marlin Taco's. They do things a bit differently here. The protein is prepared separately and placed on a Soft Taco Shell. By itself it doesn't look like much. The magic happens when you go to the Taco bar. The toppings are unlimited and you get to customize your tacos to your personal liking. I forgot to take pics of the Tacos after all the added toppings. SMH #TacoTuesday: ~ MARLIN TACO - 4.5/5 Very different, yet so good. The Marlin look and tastes like Pulled Pork. I honestly thought it was Pulled Pork! An excellent introduction for someone who is not too fond of fish! ~ CAMARON A LA PLANCHA O CRUNCH - 4/5 Juicy local Shrimp fried to perfection. This is much heavier than it looks. I'd love to come back and try the rest of the menu.
Yummy, authentic tacos in Cabo! Only knocking off a star because it was a bit difficult to wave down staff. There's an indoor and outdoor area, and the indoor area is split into two rooms (literally, with a doorway in between) so a bit difficult to get staff's attention. We sat outside, where the grill is and most of the food is made! Was very cool. It wasn't super busy but it still took a longer amount of time to get each of the items we ordered (they're not extremely hard or time consuming to make dishes) but that's just me being impatient. There's also a serve-yourself toppings bar which is cool, but wish they had even more sauce variety. Finally onto the food itself: overall great! Tostada was my favorite, so fresh and who doesn't love ceviche?? Today was also the day I learned I don't like marlin. It was my first time trying it. There's no better time than right by the pier! For those of whom who have not had the pleasure of trying marlin, I highly recommend never doing it, or trying 1 order of it first. We got ahead of ourselves and ordered a doradito AND taco and it was just.... a lot. However, from an unbiased opinion, the quality and taste of the tacos and everything overall was top tier.
FANTASTIC fish tacos (45mx) FANTASTIC shrimp tacos (50-55mx) Came here for lunch (takeout) and was charged 45mx (fish tacos) and 55mx (shrimp tacos). It was sooooo good that we came back a cpl days later for dinner (dine-in) and were charged 45mx (fish tacos) and 50mx (shrimp tacos). Obviously not a big deal but just something I noticed -- perhaps diff pricing for takeout vs dine-in? Regardless, we HIGHLY recommend this spot for fish and shrimp tacos (HUGE + DELICIOUS portions!) My SO also ordered some type of mixed seafood ceviche that was just ok. I recommend sticking to fish & shrimp tacos. Def give this place a try, and you might even find yourself coming back for more... Salud!
Large variety of seafood options from tacos, tostadas, Marisco soup, fresh fish dishes from cocktails, fried or grilled fish tacos (whatever is fresh caught that day:Dorado, sea bass, snapper), mixed seafood combos, we had the Callito tacos which was fresh scallops grilled mixed with fresh pico. They have a salsa bar filled with fresh limes, cabbage, green tomatillo salsa, habanero salsa, fresh onions, pico, grilled onions, delicious. Beverages are water, soda and beer. Their specialties consist of a potato stuffed with fresh mixed seafood (fish, scallops, octopus) or a mixed seafood molcajete, marlin or shrimp with cheese, or maris Large variety of seafood options from tacos, tostadas, Marisco soup, fresh fish dishes from cocktails, fried or grilled fish tacos (whatever is fresh caught that day:Dorado, sea bass, snapper), mixed seafood combos, we had the Callito tacos which was fresh scallops grilled mixed with fresh pico.

This place is OUT OF CONTROL good. When you want LOCAL, hole in the wall, holy shit that was good, at a reasonable price go to Los Claros. I spent days eating the same gringo food. Until. One day. With the help of a man named Miguel, I stumbled upon the hole in the wall beauty which is Los Claros. My one recommendation is to get the crunchy Pescado tacos. Get a bunch. They're insane. Coated in a cornflake like crust and deep fried. A Cabo speciality. The service.... Is exactly what you want. No frills. Nothing extra. A warm smile, an hola, and the check at the end. They're quick. They know what they're doing, and they're great at it. My trips to Cabo now revolve around this gem. go here and go often. Plz don't waste money at the loser, tourist placating, slop fests. Just go here. read more

We were in Cabo for six days and we ate tacos every single day for lunch, this was my third favorite. I give it a solid four stars, the beef was a little fatty for me... But the salsa bar and the drinks were amazing. Guacamole was delicious as well. read more

Tacos los claros is a short walk from the marina, but offers an extensive seafood focused menu and friendly service. They have a huge seating area both downstairs and on the rooftop and I was lucky enough to get a rooftop table at sunset. The service was great and while they were unfortunately out of raw seafood dishes while I was here (aguachile, ceviche), the fish and shrimp tacos I had were delicious. Served with a creamy sauce, the seafood was perfectly fried and came smothered in delicious melted Oaxacan cheese. I would definitely recommend if you want a traditional baja-style eatery. read more

Came here twice and loved both times. Get the pescado crunch. Fried fish with a crunchy exterior. Their salad/salsa bar is well stocked. Prices are reasonable, tacos run about 60 pesos. Service is friendly. Restroom is clean. read more

OMG this place has the best ceviche in Cabos as well as the best crunchy fish tacos I have ever had. They also have a great fixings bar which is loaded with tasty add ons for tacos. The prices are incredibly cheap and lots of locals eat here. We highly recommend Los Claros read more

This place is really good! Delicious seafood. Super cheap prices. Off the beaten path a little bit but not bad. Enjoyed the table side presentation for mixed drinks. Brought out the liquor bottle and poured the shot. Tried a few different things. Seafood quesadilla, guacamole, and 1 clam. They had a pretty decent fixins bar. read more

We visited after our boat trip to the arch with my family. We walked here and it wasn't too bad. The sun itself was really hot. But when we got there, we sat inside and got some cold drinks! We ordered the fish tacos, micheladas, and seafood ceviche and the kids had quesadillas. (Family of 6) spent around $60 US dollars. It was all so good! Hospitality and service were excellent! We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our meal! read more
This place is known for their fish tacos, but my favorite item was the pina colada! The tacos are great too and there is a great smell coming for the cooking area which was just in front of our table. We tried four different tacos, my favorite was the asada and the crispy fish taco. We also had the large ceviche which was great too, but not really large for American standards, and a coco loco which was fine, but nothing close to the pina colada. read more
I came in just for the aguachile, only because my tour guide and the captain of my boat told us it was a good spot away from the main street for ceviches and beers. Well he was right. We hd shrimp ceviche with fish and callos, aguachile, shrimp tacos are killer, the fish and mix seafood tacos were ok. Over a the food was delicious, quick service and the gucamole was awesome and plentiful. Great music, reggeton was on the Flatscreen and we had a great time for lunch right after a tour of the arch. This pkace is 40 minutes from where i am staying but I trvel for food, believe me, i will pay the uber to get here and eat again! read more

This was indeed the best Taco place in Cabo! It might come off as hole in the wall-ish, but the tacos were the best! We recommend trying their sopa too and their Flan! The service was okay, make sure you have a bit of Spanish since some of the staff speaks zero English. read more
They say they have the best seafood in Cabo and I believe them. I normally dont like seafood tacos but decided to try them. The grilled shrimp, battered scallops and chicken tacos were all EXCELLENT!! The margaritas were great too - get there for happy hour and they are 3 for 2. I also had the stuffed clam and it was soooo good! Definitely recommend this place...walking distance from Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Place. read more

This place is the place to go if you are looking for authentic Mexican mariscos (seafood). We came here on a food tour and tried the crunchy shrimp tacos and the mixed shrimp/fish ceviche tostada. The tostada was amazing, the shrimp taco was also really good. We tried the marlin taco and that one wasn't my favorite, little fishy. They have a stand full of all of the toppings. Very very fresh seafood for much cheaper than if you are dining right on the marina. read more

Many local restaurants claim to have the best seafood in Cabo - but prices are lower here than at places closer to the water and where tourists tend to congregate. Tacos come with 2' tortillas. I suggest taking half of what comes on them and splitting it to make 2 tacos before visiting the salsa bar to add whatever else you might like. Beverages cost more than tacos, so when here, consider ordering more to eat and less to drink. Indoor and outdoor dining areas. read more

Tried the battered fish and marlin tacos. Battered fish wasn't seasoned enough in my opinion, the fish was a little bland to me. Marlin was okay but really nothing outstanding. Awesome selections for toppings though, they even had something like a corn and veggie salad. I made it 20 minutes before they closed that day, but sure if it was the reason so the food was a little disappointing. They take credit cards! read more
We went here on a recommendation from a local vendor. The place said it was closed until 7pm (I noticed this after I checked in) but we came for lunch. We order the ceviche on a tostado and it was very fresh with shrimp and fish. I also ordered a fish and shrimp taco. When it arrived I was kinda disappointed since it was just protein and tortillas. The waiter was quick to show me the toppings bar, which was super impressive. They had the normal pico, avocado, salsa. They also had a bunch of additional toppings which made it amazing. After adding those toppings and eating the tacos, I was very pleased. The next day, we noticed another location in the touristy area. I can't speak for that one but this location was very good. read more
