One thing that I liked about this place is that its right by the marina so you get that nice breeze from the ocean and you get to see the boats. The inside of the restaurant is nice its a little small but they make it work which is good. The food here looks really nice. The presentation is really good. When you see the food it makes your mouth water. I decided to order some aguachiles and they were spicy but they were good. I also got ceviche and I liked the way it tasted. If your a fan of those things you gotta order them. The only thing I didnt like was that I gave the waiter a tip and the asked for even more money. Made the whole experience feel really uncomfortable. Pros -By the marina -Good views -Food looks good Cons -Asked for a bigger tip
This restaurant's location is at the marina so you can sit and just watch all the comings and goings of the boats. You can also people watch all the tourists walking along, and the locals who try to sell you any and everything. We had just returned to the pier from a few hours out on a boat. We were hot and famished. The seating was good except when the sun moves, you're right in it when on the patio side. I had to move and sit on the upper level. It's really very small, so I was still able to have conversation with the friends still seated on the lower side. I ordered a bottled water and a shrimp quesadilla. The food was AMAZING. So much shrimp and they were cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The only negative was that the service took FOREVER. I even joked that they had to go catch the shrimp for my meal.
The food was pretty good. They had a 2x1 on drinks when we went. The mai tai was great, the tamarindo daiquiri was okay. But the seafood was really good, seasoned and fresh! The servers are funny and have a great time with the guests. The restaurant is right on the marina waterfront so you can see all the yachts and boats.
This is my new favorite spot to eat in Cabo. I will eat here every time I visit Los Cabo. The price is fair for the area and the fish is very fresh. The restaurant sits on the Marina. It is small and fits about 3-4 parties of 4. Be wary of sitting in seats closest to the entrance, the peddlers will disturb your dining. Have the little ones with you? Don't worry, they have a kid friendly menu too. Lastly, I appreciate a clean bathroom and this establishment didn't disappoint.
Amazing!! Looking for fresh seafood, stop here. Small and cozy restaurant. The service was great, kept us coming back for more. The chef was so accommodating and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. We ordered snapper (fresh catch), coconut shrimp, lobster and oysters. Heaven. Just perfect. Definitely recommend.
I really wanted to like this place more based on the great reviews. The man and I vacation yearly on the marina in Cabo and our first night in I was craving seafood and found Pochos via Yelp. We were seated right on the marina walk which was cool, until it turned into a front row seat to their boardwalk hustle. I mean, egregious to the point of having scantily clad local girls roping in groups of male tourists to buy them dinner. No joke. That aside, we had their heavily touted tableside prepped Caesar salad first. I was thinking before the boyfriend even said it..."omg, their ROI on this must be astronomical". Four pieces each of romaine leaf and a dressing mixed while we watched. It was good, but for what we paid please homemake your croutons. They were kind of stale and bland. We also joked about the Kirkland pepper shaker. Grind peppercorns legit, c'mon. I ordered the Lobster Thermidor (MP) again served tableside and prepped by the server which I found puzzling. Not a Chef. It was decent, not what I expected but we're in Mexico. Boyfriend's Shrimp Imperial was really yummy once they corrected the erroneously delivered garlic shrimp. Order that! Cool presentation and all. Of note, the bread rolls they served were warm and savory sweet perfection. After being apologized to by one of the gentleman with the party who brought in the "ladies" multiple times, I advised him to keep an eye on their wallets and to have a good night. There ya go! $100 later and it was okay food with some entertainment brought to you by "Bad B*tch" according to her hat and her husky friend. Hope none of those dudes come out on the short end of their sticks, if ya catch my drift. Viva Cabo!

This is the best place to eat on the pier. Their portions are huge, they cook table side and their service is fast. Our second time in Cabo on the resorts and used to just walk past this place. Now it will be our go/to spot. They have boats docked on the pier that bring in the fresh seafood straight to the restaurant. Can't remember the brothers names that flambé but some of the most generous people in Cabo. We had Chipotle Shrimp and Lobster Thermadore. Portions were big and to die for. read more

Last night we decided to have dinner here with a group of six skeptical friends. The only reason we went to that very tourist-trap Marina restaurant area was because we were passing by the place and notice a waiter dramatically making Banana Forters table side. It is a very small establishment with zero frills. We ordered baked clam, table side prepared Caesars salad, lobsters Thermidor prepared also table side. Blacked tuna and of course, Banana Forters for desert. It was an extraordinary experience which we did not expect. The grand master of all this was Jimbo and his excellent team. We brought our own wine and paid a corkage fee which we prefer to do because we enjoy finer wines although the restaurant seems to have a decent selection. read more

This was our very first trip to Cabo had went for our close friends 25th wedding anniversary with 30 other people. We went to Pochos because one of the couples in our group visit Cabo often and never leaves without eating there. I have to say, the food excellent! Our servers Marco and Chuey were very welcoming, hospitable and explained our meals in detail. They even put on a table side show for certain items ordered. My husband and I ordered the octopus appetizer, and also their queso fundido(excellent). We also and shared one of their dinner for two plates. This included lobster tails, two filet mignon steaks, jumbo bacon wrapped shrimp, mashed potatoes and vegetables. For dessert we ordered the bananas foster. Even with the amount of people in our group I felt we got quick and superb service. The prices were very reasonable and I'm so glad we were introduced to this restaurant. We will be making another visit to Pochos on our next visit to Cabo. read more

Great seafood restaurant right by the marina. You can grab a table and people watch while you eat. They have their own boats and catch their own fresh fish. We had the shrimp ceviche which was delicious and quite a large portion. My husband had the grilled yellowfin tuna on pineapple which was fresh and very tasty. I had the tableside shrimp cooked with butter, garlic and peppers. Both were very good and fresh. The service is really why I'm giving five stars. The wait staff was friendly and very attentive to your needs. Excellent find at the marina!! read more
GOT PARASITE FROM LOBSTER OR SHRIMP. Pochos is right in the Marina where cruise ships drop off. It seems to attract a lot of "cruisers", as the day my friend and I went there for lunch there was a Carnival Cruise-ship in harbor. Pochos, as most places on the Marina, have men out front trying to get your attention and get you in their doors. They shouted out "Cruise Special... $30.00 lobster & shrimp and 2 for 1 cocktails". It wasn't crowded so we decided it sounded like a good deal. I got the "cruise special" my friend got shrimp fajitas. We ate outside and the food tasted good. As our day continued my stomach started to not feel very good and by the next day I couldn't leave our house due to diarrhea. It lasted 2 days and then a very bad rash appeared on my legs. 2 more days went by and on the 4th day was told I had parasites and needed to take medication to kill them. The view was pretty and drinks good, but you could not pay me to go there again!! Makes me wonder if anyone else that day got sick. We were there on Monday, September 17, 2018 for lunch. read more

Best seafood!! My oldest daughter was begging all week for oysters & all my husband wanted was good fish tacos & a beer. We walked all the marina looking at the menus listening to the restaurant pushers to eat at their place, but none met both their needs. We finally came to Pochos & saw everyone's wishes met. It's a smaller restaurant between a large sushi restaurant & bigger touristy rock restaurant. We had 3 fish tacos, half a dozen of oysters, ceviche, club sandwich, & 6 beers (beers are 2x1) and we spent close to $800 peso (about $50us). Bonus was seeing their boat on the dock knowing what they catch is what they serve. read more

Fantastic meal! Stuffed fish was fresh, light and tasty. Chipotle shrimp flambé was great mix of spicy and creamy. The tortilla soup was tasty as well. The home baked rolls were warm and delicious - we had seconds on the bread! Service was friendly and responsive. We will be back. read more

We had another awesome experience! This is OFFICIALLY our favorite restaurant in Cabo. Located on the Marina, Pocho's provides limited seating so reservations are recommended. Table side Caesars salad is perfection. Although no longer on the menu, tonight the chef made us the Camerones a la Diabla which is AMAZING!! So much heat with so much flavor. For those who can't handle the heat, try the Camerones Chipotle.....still has some heat but won't leave you asking for more water! Margaritas were excellent! Most of the food is prepared and cooked table side. Wait staff is very attentive and service is faster than a Mexican "minute"! Only downside is the number of mariachi bands who walk thru! People watching from your seat is a great source of entertainment! read more

Good place. Small and intimate which bodes well for great service. Not able to give 5 stars for 2 reasons: poorly made cocktails and a dessert offering that doesn't match their menu (nothing original or standout compared to other meals we had in Cabo). We had one of the worst margaritas and dirty martini ever at Pochos so stay with wine or beer. However, they do receive 4 stars for a solid meal, at a great price and very good service. And the view does not suck! Try out Pochos, you'll be happy you did. read more

My bother-in-law and sister-in-law have been going to Cabo for years and this is one of their go-to places. My husband and I had their special which was 2 filet mignon, a tuna steak, a sea bass filet, and 8 huge coconut shrimp served with grilled vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. The food is delicious, the atmosphere (sitting right on the marina boardwalk) is great and the staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Looking for a great restaurant to eat some delicious seafood, this is the spot. We came here at the recommendation from another couple we met at our resort and we were not disappointed. This was one of the best meals we had in Cabo. We order the red snapper and stuff fish both were incredible. Not only is the food worth 5 stars the service is as well. Big shout out to Marcos and the rest of the staff. I guarantee you stop here your taste buds will definitely be very appreciative, the food is absolutely amazing. read more

What a great little place! It is tucked in between two larger establishments so it's hard to spot but the seafood and steak are quite fresh and amazing! They have plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the marina. Give this charming place a chance you won't regret it We split the lobster, filet mignon, shrimp and sea bass dish between two people for $65 US Dollars...every item is cooked to order whether you like it plain or spiced, what a treat! read more

Conveniently located in the marina. Small quaint restaurant. We came here twice during our week vacation. Food was not only good but beautiful. The staff is very welcoming and on it. Nothing I hate more than waiting... ceviche was ordered to share amongst four .... so good. The ceasar salad was made at the table and they start by mashing anchovies into a paste (heads up if you don't like). Honestly, it was delicious. We ordered a salad for two but shared with four - it was enough. Everything we ordered was good .. fish soup, skewers, personally I had a stuffed fish the first visit (oh my goodness delicious). The 2nd visit I ordered shrimps grilled ranchero style (onions and tomatoes). I enjoyed everything. My family and I will be back! Price for 4 was about 130, prior to eating the 2nd we asked if there was a discount if we are a 2nd time and they said 15% - we'll take it! We got 15% off our Hagen Daaz the corner too read more
