    Our friends told us to make sure that we stopped by the Monkey Bar when we traveled here on our cruise ship. They were absolutely correct: huge and delicious margaritas. I only had one but followed with a Pacifico. The bar tenders are great and they have great music [country of course] and lots of great people to talk to. We really enjoyed sitting here talking to people from all over the US and the bar tenders were great to talk to as well. They have bathrooms and are close to everything you need from tours, to shopping to great food.

    My fiance and I have been coming to Cabo for a couple years now. During our first trip, we stumbled across a tiny bar tucked away in a flea market near the marina. Normally we wouldn't probably have stopped, but the drinks looked amazing. That's where we had the pleasure of meeting Fernando, the best bartender in Cabo. So, as you can imagine we were super surprised to walk by Monkey Bar and find Fernando on this trip. We had to stop in and have one of his epic margaritas, which still lived up to the memory. This is a blink and miss it kind of bar, but don't pass it up!

    Best margaritas in Cabo! No monkeying around!

    Love, love, love this place!!!!! My husband and I came here five years ago and fell in love. In Cabo again and we walked around for two days looking for it. Couldn't remember the name or the location. Eureka, we found it! Best margaritas and as a bonus you can buy the hand made margarita glasses! Best margaritas! Very fresh :) LOVE the rock n roll they play!!

    First off, if you're a curmudgeon and allergic to people being chatty then this isn't your place. It's a local joint that's clean but isn't going to be Alexanders. They make great margaritas and have several beer options. If you can sit at the bar, that's the best spot because you can interact with everyone pretty easily. The music is a good mix where you'll hear Bon Jovi then Nelly. The bartenders are on point and attentive and the people in general are all here to just chat and have fun. If you want a good margarita or a cold Dos XX then I would recommend this place. My husband and I were going to grab a quick drink and then bolt to our next place but ended up staying for like and hour and a half which for us isn't easy because we tend to get bored.

    I loved this bar. I believe they have the best Marguerita Ihave ever had (and I've had a few :) It's nothing fancy but so enjoyable. We even got joined at the bar by a Monkey! If you love Margueritas - go!

    I enjoyed my vacation visit to this small, laid back, open air, reasonably priced bar. The $9 mango margarita was huge, with great presentation and a wonderful taste, while the service was friendly and accommodating. I noticed a small bar and several tables. It had a great location in the marina district near several other bars. Be alert, because it's easy to miss as you are walking down the street.

    10/10 margaritas were HUGE and yummy! Service was AMAZING! Country music was great! I recommend this place 100%

The owner has over 100 dogs at his farm he rescues .. at any time there are free roaming dogs special to the owner that he's rescued around the restaurant. You can buy bacon for them at the bar to feed them so they can enjoy and continue to live their best life. At the entrance, there's a place to donate to their dog rescue campaign. can't tell you how much that means to me and how cute these little little dogs are! you have to stop by even if just to feed the dogs bacon, although the octopus appetizer is the best I've ever had!!

    I was in Cabo for an event with my travel group called the Take Over. The majority of our group…read moredid excursions on Saturday. I didn't want to do excursions so I found some alternative things to do and one of the things that was highly recommended was a massage at the Sandbar. I was able to go online to book and pre-pay. I posted the information in our Facebook group and ironically there were more people that were interested in going. We had a van of 10 people and then I think there was an Uber with two more people, so 12 people total from my group went to the Sandbar at around 11 AM on Saturday. When I got there, I asked the lady that was checking us in if it was possible to get a discount or a referral bonus or something because of the number of people that I bought in and she said "no" and I guess I had no choice but to accept that. I probably should've asked in advance, but I know a lot of businesses will offer discounts when you have a group. When I tell you the massage was amazing, I loved every single minute of my 90 minute full body massage. I loved being able to listen to the ocean and just the serenity was so good. Afterwards I changed into my clothes, tipped my masseuse then went downstairs to ask for water because every time I've gotten a massage it's followed by water so that you can hydrate. When I asked the hostess about getting water I was told you have to go to the bar and pay for it. I asked her why would we pay for water when we just spent money on a massage? She told me that only the foot massage comes with a drink. Well the foot massage is significantly cheaper so I don't understand that, but OK. She then said to just go talk to the people at the bar and as I was talking to the young lady at the bar, this guy came over, I'm guessing he was the manager, Pepe, and he was giving her the signal to not give me a complementary water. I thought that not only was that rude, it was extremely poor customer service. Some of the group that I was with decided to buy some tequila shots, so it's not like we were not spending money in their establishment because we were, and to not include a one dollar bottle of water is showing me that they don't value my money and I should not spend my money at that establishment ever again. I loved the massage, but it's very important to me to have good customer service and if you can't extend me a basic courtesy, you don't deserve to have my USD or my pesos.

This place pleasantly surprised me. I ordered the bacon-wrapped shrimp in sauce, and it was excellent. What really caught me off guard, though, were the vegetables on the side. They were so flavorful and perfectly prepared that I was genuinely impressed, which is saying a lot because vegetables are rarely memorable. The shrimp themselves were delicious and cooked perfectly. We also had the coconut-crusted lobster, which was very good as well. The only minor drawback was that the mashed potatoes were a little cold when they arrived. Overall, I'd rate the experience a 4.5 out of 5, which is high praise coming from me. Despite being in a tourist area, The Office delivered flavorful, well-prepared food and exceeded my expectations. I would definitely return.

Funny origin story: we were just looking for coffee on our first morning, and somewhere in that search decided -- hey, we're on vacation, why not find the best espresso martini spot instead? Best decision of the trip. Outpost delivered in a huge way. Bonus on a humid August day: They have AC inside. The space itself has real personality: exposed brick, framed portraits of aristocrats with dog heads on the walls, and a couple of TVs built into ornate frames just looping a crackling fireplace all day. Great 70s/80s soundtrack running the whole time too. Farm-to-table breakfast with genuinely clean ingredients -- huevos rancheros and avocado toast with a poached egg were both excellent. And the shrimp omelette had a red sauce that send the flavors over the top. The drinks are the real headliner though. I had them make my espresso martinis with reposado tequila instead of vodka, and it completely elevated the drink. My friend Kandy would usually start with an espresso martini too before moving on to their lavender martini, which became her go-to for the rest of the weekend. We also had a Carajillo done tableside, flambé style -- a full 3-minute production of lighting it on fire and pouring it back and forth before serving over ice. Genuinely one of the coolest drink presentations I've seen. Eneas took care of us all three days and was fantastic: warm, attentive, clearly loves his job. Alberto was great too. Bartender Rigo made every drink perfectly, tequila swaps and all. You can tell Chef Anna runs a tight kitchen and Jefe Calixto keeps the whole place running smoothly. If you're anywhere near the Marina, this is a must. We'll be back next time we're in Cabo.

We were able to get last-minute reservations and was warmly greeted when walking into the location by staff members and quickly seated. We chose to sit upstairs where they had a view of the street so it was a great place to people watch. The overall ambience is super cute and aesthetic and a great place to just kind of chill and have some food and drink drinks. I got one of the smash burgers and it was really good. The fries were really good. Also, the burger had a good taste and the food came out pretty quickly. My wife got the shrimp which were OK, but I would have to say that they were overcooked so they were a little on the chewy side. I would probably not get the shrimp again, but I would get the burger again. We also got some drinks, but we forgot to take pictures because we are so thirsty by the time we got to the restaurant so we drank them really quick, but they were delicious with a great flavor. This is a touristy place, so the cost of the dinner was definitely on the higher end for what we got, but overall the location was really good for a little pregame before stepping out into nightlife
