Cabo San Lucas was one of our Cruise Ship stops. Having been to Cabo before, we just wanted to enjoy some good Seafood. Mariscos Las Tres Islas was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. In fact, it was excellent! It has a super relaxed beach-style vibe, but far enough from the more touristy areas to give you a more locals experience. The servers were also really friendly and the service was top notch. We also enjoyed a song from local musicians. My husband and I shared a Shrimp Ceviche appetizer that was to die for. It was a huge serving, with Tostadas and house-made Sauces. For dinner, I had Camarones Empanizados, served with rice and vegetables. All of the seafood was tasty and fresh. We finished with a Flan for dessert. Probably one of the best I've had. It wasn't overly sweet, just creamy and so yummy!! If you're visiting Cabo, I highly recommend you give this place a try!
Cannot recommend this spot highly enough. The food was phenomenal, tender and delicious. We had the baja style fish tacos, the shrimp and fish ceviche, and the lobster/octopus platter. Everything was fantastic. I also had a michelada that was very tasty! The service was also great! I will definitely be back the next time im in Cabo and would recommend to all.
Decided to come here after reading all the positive reviews and we were not disappointed. Excellent service and the mariscos were fresh and delicious. This is exactly what I was looking for when searching for authentic mariscos without having to spend a ton of money. Strongly recommended!
If you're craving fresh, flavorful seafood in Los Cabos, Mariscos Las Tres Islas is a hidden gem that truly delivers. The fried red snapper was the star of the show--crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Their fish tacos were just as impressive--packed with flavor, fresh toppings, and that satisfying crunch with every bite. This spot is no-frills but full of heart and authentic Baja seafood flavor. Whether you're a local or just visiting, it's worth a stop! They understand English, the snapper varies from 400 pesos-500 pesos. They take cash and visa as well. They have music people inside and you can tip them to play you a song. Service was super friendly and kind :)
Came here during vacation. Looked up a bunch of seafood spots and this one stood out with their reviews. The restaurant was nice and had an outdoorsy feel to it. Though it was hot, they had fans blowing which was nice. The service was good and we had about 2 servers checking in on us through out the duration. The seafood cocktail was nice and refreshing especially after a bit of a hangover. The chipotle sauce over the fish was ok, the sauce was a bit over powering imo. The fried red snapper was top tier. The fish was fresh and you got the option to choose the size you wanted as well. Everything was served with a variety of salsas as well as fresh handmade tortillas. Over all, it was a nice experience and will go back when I'm back in Cabo.
I asked a local for a good ceviche place and they recommended tres Islas. Wow, ordered the ceviche mezclado con pulpo y pescado and it was super fresh and really delicious. We also ordered the red snapper frito and it was truly fantastic. Prepared to perfection. Buttery, covered in sultry, savory guajillo chile and garlic, served with homemade tortillas and salsas, wow. Super rico. The spicy jalapeño margarita and acoustic guitar serenade were the perfect complements to a special dinner. I normally don't care bout these things, but the bathroom was also immaculate, I feel it is worth mentioning. 10/10, ideal dinner in Cabo. I am so happy to have had the pleasure.
Mariscos Tres Islas is absolutely amazing! The food is fresh and full of flavor especially the ceviche and aguachiles, which are some of the best I've ever had. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. On top of that, both the food and drinks are not only delicious but also very reasonably priced.
My husband and I were in Cabo San Lucas for our anniversary and a general need to relax. This place was recio y seco friends who frequent Cabo and we were not disappointed! It's not a place that looks like any yaps ail but the food and the service was outstanding. The margaritas are large and balanced. I got a seafood mix in a delicious sauce and would get this again. We look forward to our next trip so we can visit Tres Islas again.
I have no clue why anybody would rate this restaurant 4.5 stars, I was so mad at myself for listening to the Ueber driver who insisted I come here instead of Mazatlan mariscos that I dined in 2 years ago n knew it was the greatest seafood at the most reasonable price. I was shocked when we arrived that this looked like a converted garage n I just had bad vibes, against my better judgment I got in. I only wanted grilled red snapper, the dude said sure he'd grill it, he showed me the price 1 kilo $34, the other rest charged $22!! I should have left as Mazatlan mariscos is just the next street. My husband got bent out of shape I argued w the server, I told him only garlic butter, he kept on telling me some other ridiculous sauce that I can't understand in English ir Spanish so I told him whatever. Whatever was a disaster bc apparently that was the premixed butter w the nasty charcoal black sauce I almost spit it out . Here's the verdict, don't even think about it! The fish was definitely not 1 kilo, it was not grilled but most likely steamed it was dripping n then cooked in oven or fried, the middle was not quite cooked, look at the picture, it looked nasty n tasted nasty bc of the black sauce, needless to say I only ate a few bites. I felt I was ripped off bc of overpriced on top of overcharged (it looked like 800 to 900 gm not a kilo). I don't want this to happen to anyone else but I only had huachinango not shrimp or anything else so the 2 stars only refer to the red snapper. Actually it should be 1 star but I add a star bc the margarita was good, the piña colada was too sweet but it was ok too.
We had high hopes for this place! Unfortunately, did not deliver in terms of taste & expectations. We got the 1. Pulpo ajillo, had great flavor, but a tad too buttery for our taste. The rice was also a bit too buttery. It came with two cauliflower & a broccoli;) well balanced I suppose. 2. Tostada mixto- it had a thick layer of mayo on top of the tostada, which we didn't love. The seafood was great on top tho. Had a mix of flaky crab, shrimp, some octopus and red onion. 3. Seafood cocktail mixto- dang. This dish made us a bit sick. And thinking about it now.. makes me a littttle queasy. The avocado and tomato on top were great. However, the seafood below was just.. slimey. The octopus had a bit of a filmy taste, there was a weird white & black seafood something in there that looked.. wrong. The shrimp was fine. Overall, servers were great, bathrooms were clean. Appreciate the crackers and tostadas on the table. Probably won't be back, but was an experience!

We almost passed on Mariscos Las Tres Islas, but I'm so glad we didn't! Our Uber driver actually recommended it over another spot we had in mind, and that alone made us curious enough to give it a try--and wow, it did not disappoint. The seafood was incredibly fresh--easily some of the best we've had. Every bite tasted like it came straight from the ocean that day. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly made and refreshing, pairing so well with the food. What really stood out, though, was the service. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. You can tell they take pride in what they do. If you're on the fence like we were, take the recommendation and go--you won't regret it! read more

Tucked back away from the marina is this gem of a place. Highly rated on all the sites for good reason. Service is excellent and the food is outstanding. Beautiful atmosphere with lights, plenty of tables, and clean bathrooms. The seafood is so fresh! We ordered the crab meat tostada, aguichiles, ceviche, grilled octopus dinner, garlic shrimp dinner, and fresh grilled fish (Acapulco style) for 2. The dinner plates cakes with a side of rice and steamed mixed vegetables. Everything was so fresh, delicious, tender, and so flavorful. As a group, we couldn't come to a consensus on what each of our favorite dish was. We each had our own favorite. Crab meat was sweet, garlic shrimp was buttery, grilled octopus was so tender, aguichiles was so citrusy... I can go on and on. Ask for fresh tortillas. Also don't skip their margarita. Strong, citrusy, and generous serving. They accept USD or pesos. Also strolling musicians will come by your table asking to play a song. Some will tell you the price up front others will expect a tip at the end. read more

Great food overall. The negatives weee that we ordered a whole butterflied seabass to be "grilled" and it came skin down on aluminum foil without any grill marks, therefore the skin was not eatable. The only good salsa was the pico de gallo, all others lacked everything. read more

Mariscos las Tres Islas is a brilliant local seafood restaurant in downtown Cabo San Lucas. It's mostly locals that go here, the occasional tourists do stumble in...probably found this place through social media or local recommendations. Be prepared for a local culinary Seafood adventure as the menu doesn't actually provide you a description of any dishes...just a name. Our server spoke English well enough but didn't understand everything we asked him. Some brilliant Seafood: ~ Almejas en su Concha (Fresh clam on the shell) - 5/5 These are Cabo's local clams. To the rest of the world they are also known as Almejas Chocolate or Chocolate Clams. They chop it up for you, put it back in the shell and serve it with a spoon. It's served plain allowing one to add all kinds of sauces or other condiments. They have a very unique sweet flavor, squeeze some lime over it and the flavor pops out even more. I don't recommend using any hot sauce, it will mask the unique flavor of the Clams. "Nicknamed "Baja's seafood candy", chocolate clams (almejas chocolatas) are the delightfully named shellfish specialty of this beautiful peninsula. Their scientific name is Megapitaria squalida, with their common name resulting from their brown color (rather than having a chocolate flavor). They have a meaty and tender flesh that makes them particularly delicious and are the largest of the west coast bivalves, growing up to six inches in diameter. Chocolate clams can be found in the coastal lagoons that stretch south from Magdalena Bay along the Pacific side of Baja California Sur, as well as in the Sea of Cortez all the way south to Guatemala. It's here that they bury themselves in the sandy bottoms in dense populations before migrating to deeper waters as they grow." - Stolen from: https://www.seakayakadventures.com/blog/2019/04/10/chocolate-clams-baja-california-sur ~ Cebada - 4/5 Never heard of a Cebada. It tasted like a Horchata but more chocolatey. The Cebada was darker as well. I'm still not to sure how it's made or what it is. ~ Pulpo al Ajillo (Ajillo Octopus) - 4.5/5 Octopus served with rice and veggies. I believe it was chopped up and grilled with some spices. Simple but tasty. ~ Cameron Cucaracha (Cockroach shrimp) - 5/5 This was amazing! Lots of flavor. The name can throw you off, but don't be scared...no cockroaches here. Just an amazing dish loaded with a generous amount of Shrimp bursting with lots of flavor. I think this is Asian inspired...from what I remember it has Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil. ~ Tacos de Callito (Clam scallops taco) - 5/5 Packed with battered Clams & Scallops...fried I believe. Delicious stuffed tacos! I'd easily make this my go to spot when I head back to Cabo! read more
This place came was highly recommended by hotel staff in Cabo, which I was a bit skeptical of. Took a walk after arriving at the sister resort and found the restaurant after stopping to ask a local if we were headed in the right direction. He actually lived near the restaurant and said it was his favorite seafood restaurant. Once arriving to this unassuming local place (I love local spots), we quickly realized the place was full. Had a 15-20 min wait, but man was it worth it. Everything on the menu was amazing that we tried, shrimp ceviche, the scallops, the octopus. Horchata, shrimp fajitas and the coconut shrimp was also ridiculously good! This place is a MUST if you enjoy seafood read more
Another good experience here. We've been coming here for five years in a row now. Every time we visit Cabo, we have to come here. Good news, they expanded the dining room and can see more people. And they've even upgraded their bathroom facilities. Looks amazing. The real reason that we keep coming back is because the food is excellent affordable and consistent. Edgar, we've seen him now for each of our dining experiences and it's always the light. When you're in Cabo, you gotta check this place off the beaten path it's worthwhile. read more

5/26/23 - Craving lobsters and happen to be in Cabo San Lucas Mexico? OMG look no more Mariscos Las Tres Islas can remedy your seafood craving. This place can easily accommodate large groups. Definitely love this casual hole in the wall with live guitar singers on Friday. The service is great and the bilingual staff is fast and genuinely friendly. Totally recommend: Lobster with garlic butter sauce Super fresh oysters OMG perfectly seasoned shrimp ceviche Lightly breaded crunchy coconut shrimp Creamy smooth Pina Colada Horchata Horchata with hint of chocolate. Why four stars? My favorite fried calamari missing from the menu. Did not care for the rice pilaf and steamed veggies included with the seafood platters. Mexican sides would be better. read more

Chocolate Clams - amazing! Cockroach shrimp - amazing! Ajillo octopus - so good! Shrimp and scallop tacos - so good, chunky, crispy , great with their salsa and habanero sauce Highlights for me were the cockroach shrimp and clams. Yum! Service was good. He made sure we were enjoying our meal. Great family friendly, casual dining. Must come back! read more
While in Cabo, we had eaten here twice! But I think the first meal was better than the 2nd. It's a restaurant that's airy and open so it keeps you cool while eating. Also it has a family-friendly atmosphere with live entertainment. The host and servers are nice and thoughtful providing a stand to hang your purse. A few restaurants have this which I've never seen before until now. We had ordered ceviche, 2 orders of smoked marlin tacos, skirt steak quesadilla, margarita midory, and a horchata. It was my first time trying marlin and it was tasty and meaty for fish! The rest of my party gobbled up the rest of the food. My bf said the skirt steak was just ok. I think it was a bit overcooked. My daughter had the smoked marlin tacos as well and enjoyed it. Great flavors at reasonable prices considering this is a tourist area. Our second time visiting, we ordered scallop tacos and two pasta dishes. Definitely come here for Mexican food and not Italian. They're generous with portions but don't expect authentic Italian. Otherwise, we enjoyed the tacos and ceviche from our first visit! read more

What a nice meal! A friend of ours comes here a LOT! So on our port day he gathered a group of people to go here. There were 14 of us that piled into a van. They quickly assembled a long table to fit us all. Husband and I got the fishermen's platter which had a variety of different sea food displayed in a wooden boat There was an option to have lobster in it but it eat significantly more and I was not that hungry. I tasted the ceviche from a friend and it was fabulous! Each and every thing I ate was amazing and fresh and tender I would absolutely come back to eat So happy to have gone here PS... stick to one margarita... they are quite strong!! read more

Ask for Simone (waiter), All we had was a whole Red Snapper, but Holy Moley. Best fish so moist. We were the only tourists in there for late lunch, but plenty of locals. That's part of my criteria for an ethnic restaurant. A few blocks off the main drag. Some parking in an adjacent lot. Be sure to ask for more fixin's Pice de gaillo, limes, roasted tomato salsa. (The house salsa is really spicy but this wasn't). Combo tortillas if you can't decide corn or flour. BTW. Best Mango Margarita, creamy, smooth & not too sweet. Big drink too. We are going back! Max stars, a hidden gem. read more
