    You need a delicious drinks??!!! If so this is your place. I ordered four and man they were all delicious!! As soon as you walk in they greet you and then bring popcorn to your table. I am not a huge fan of popcorn but it's a very cool gesture. The food wasn't really my favorite. We did order a dessert and it was so very lack luster. I believe they were the fried bananas with ice cream. The price point for the food is decent and they have plenty of options. Cool thing is you can also ask to write on the wall as a memory signature. I sure did write my little note but forgot to take a picture (facepalm). All in all the experience here was great and it's a cool vibe to just kick back and have a lovely drink.

    We stumbled upon this place while walking around the downtown area of Cabo San Lucas. It's a surprisingly fun bar that we came back to 4 times during our trip. They usually have a really good live band playing, who are really great. Only one night didn't have a live band, so they were playing upbeat country music. The bartenders are very fun and friendly. They make great drinks and the prices are reasonable too for the area. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by for a drink.

    This is one of our favorite spots in Cabo - for SO many reasons. #1 - Best margaritas in town!!! I will take their $12 Cadillac over any Cadillac in Cabo. #2 - Live music - usually the same 1 or 2 cover bands, but both are GREAT. #3- They did not have a band the night of my 50th, but I found a couple guitar players on the street we always see to agree to play for us. Owner negotiated a better price for the guitarists and brought them in for us. Great celebration. #4 - AMAZING stuffed avocados. I have had their popcorn and avocados. And both are excellent. I cannot speak to the other food, but the avocado is a MUST try. If they have live music, this is a cool place to have some great drinks and hang out.

    Truly the best margaritas we've ever had and we've traveled all throughout Mexico. They're extremely large so worth every peso.

    Delicious margaritas and fun atmosphere. They have bands on their rooftop on Thursdays.

    Yummy Margaritas! $5 promotion. They have different promotions each day. The second time we went it was two beers and two shots for $5

    Great spot! We went there twice in our week long vacation. The food and margaritas were fantastic! Never many people there when we went which was surprising (both times around lunch time). Above all, the service was amazing! Karen was so helpful and so sweet. Very attentive to my Dad's allergies, explained how everything was cleaned in purified water and even let us use her cell phone when we needed to call back to our hotel! She went above and beyond. Very attentive. I wish she was my waitress in every restaurant I ever went to!

    Love me some Sand Bar!!! Right over the beach, great staff, good food (see below), and they rescue…read moredogs!! 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.
