    This resto is at the Villa del arco in Cabo. During the day for lunch service it is called taco bar however for dinner, the name changes the South American grill I think. Ate here for the first time upon arrival to the resort, and it did not disappoint. Service although, not the quickest to bring out the food I will say was definitely cooked right in front of you in the open kitchen fresh made to order. The service here, like the rest of the resort is absolutely impeccable and super kind and friendly. Census is at a resort expect to pay more for the tacos as opposed to walk in 20 minutes into town and paying about half the price. Ambience is that it is right on the pool deck with great views of the property. They also have happy hour promotions for their drinks. The drinks they do not spare the alcohol so you can definitely taste it.

    It was delicious and the meat was juicy and well seasoned!! The wait staff was A+ even with some the customers who have been drinking all day long lol I was drinking so I don't have pictures but the views are beautiful.

    Located near the pool area in the Villa Del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa, Taco Bar or Taco Bar Original as the sign hanging over the entrance says is a no frills casual taco joint that's perfect for a big meal at lunchtime or a quick snack after swimming by the pool. If you're staying at a resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico at least one meal needs to include some sort of authentic soft taco, whether it be lunch or dinner, as you know you're going to get real quality food from where it was created. Selecting Taco Bar to eat lunch is a no-brainer as is it was located a mere steps away from the pool area the hotel in which we were staying at, but most importantly since Villa Del Palmar as an all-inclusive resort we decided to purchase the all-inclusive meal plan which gives you all you can eat for no additional cost because you already purchased that in your meal plan. So basically this is an order whatever you want and you've already paid for your meal the situation here. But the star at Taco Bar is the spinning adobada, or al pastor -- moist and juicy and sliced in generous chunks from a trompo, the vertical rotisserie crowned by a hunk of pineapple. The menu is pretty straight-forward here as they have seven traditional tacos you can order with one protein ranging from pork to fish to four different specialty soft tacos that already had prearranged ingredients on it. The only issue I have with their menu is that you cannot mix and match the specialty soft tacos, and since that al pastor was practically screaming my name, I had to order three tacos from their individual taco menu, so I opted with spicy grilled pork, grilled chicken and chorizo sausage. What makes Taco Bar is that they have not one but four different sections of their condiment bar where diner can add on add or all toppings of their choice to their soft taco. From cojito cheese to salsa verde to pickled onions and radishes everything a taco lover could want was here. So this was the main reason I was sold on ordering the original single ingredient tacos of my choice rather than the specialty tacos. Every one of our tacos tasted fine, now we're they out of this ballpark good? That's debatable as nothing too much stood out in terms of taste and uniqueness and the fact that you cannot mix and match their higher-end specialty tacos loomed large over our order. The fact that they have an optional lunchtime buffet, in addition to a pizza and sushi restaurant also near the pool could speak to why they were not super slammed with customers despite the pool being packed with hotel guests. Taco Bar is a decent if not must-visit option at the Villa Del Palmar Beach Resort when looking for a quick and rather affordable place for a quick meal.

    Tacos!

    Not the best! Loved the outdoor seating of course and the service was great. Presentation was also a plus! Taco meats were just alright though, slightly dry overall. Guac is amazing!

    The convenience of being able to get tacos delivered poolside earns an extra star here. The tacos are by far not the best you can get in Cabo but when you're hungry in the middle of the day and don't really want to leave your pool chair these are a great option. We also got a table one lunch hour and had their fresh fruit sangrias. Those are delicious! The Taco Bar switches into another restaurant in the evenings at dinner time. Generally you'll need reservations to dine there for dinner.

    The tacos here are goooood. So you know if you order tacos from the poolside servers it comes from a different kitchen and you don't get the tacos from this place. The server told us these tacos are better. Only available to order in the restaurant. The pork al pastor & grilled fish tacos were the best ones. They bring the tacos out and then there is an area where you add the toppings you would like. We liked this place so much we came twice!!

    Two great tacos become four great tacos

    Homemade salsas: habanero crema, pineapple, roasted tomatillo. Made right there! Each small order of tacos comes with two tacos and salad bar. I split my tacos up to make two extra veggie tacos from the taco bar, along with the shrimp and pineapple pork that I ordered. It was a very, very good lunch. And the staff was very nice. Great view of the beach! Highly recommend.

No roof, string lighting and decor, a tree in the middle of the courtyard. Bar on one side. Covered dining tables on the other. Showed up at the perfect time. In between the lunch and dinner rush. Extremely friendly and attentive staff with expert knowledge of the menu and fabulous suggestions. What we ordered: - Peruvian Ceviche (fresh catch of the day) - Shrimp Chipotle - El Takeshi - Al pastor in fried cheese shell - Bone Marrow taco was hands down thee best! My mouth is watering just recalling the melt in your mouth, buttery deliciousness of the marrow sitting on top. Loved the salsa sampler they brought to the table. The depths of flavor and heat were a fabulous compliment to the food. I've seen mixed reviews about La Lupita. I happen to agree with the most positive recounts. Every single staff member from the host to the waiters to the other servers walking around were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall A+ experience. Drinks and food were delicious. And we truly enjoyed ourselves. Will be back on a return trip!

We kicked off our dinner with a complimentary cup of broth which was delicious and very umami. Then we got the crunchy volcano off of the appetizer menu plus a variety of tacos: santo pastor, cheese crust pastor, Nayarit style fish, duck with mole, and beef fillet & bone marrow. Out of everything we tried, the beef fillet & bone marrow was a definite highlight -- the addition of the bone marrow adds so much richness and flavor! Other than that, I did enjoy the crunchy volcano tostada and both of the pastor tacos, plus my husband absolutely LOVED the cheese crust pastor! The biggest miss in my opinion was the duck with mole, as I wasn't a huge fan of the hibiscus compote it comes with... After we had our fill of tacos, we ended our dinner with the flan. It was good but the texture was more akin to that of a cheesecake than a typical flan (more dense). Overall it was nice to try the food here, but I did prefer the tacos at Tacos Gardenias!

My husband and I ordered a variety of tacos for dinner including the fried battered fish, fried battered shrimp, grilled octopus, al pastor, and skirt steak. The tacos come out looking very simple, but that's because they bring lots of different toppings to the table so you can create your own perfect tacos! My favorites were the fried battered fish (pescado) and al pastor -- truly outstanding! In addition to the tacos, we also tried the quesabirria quesadilla which was a solid pick, and then we ended our meal with the flan which was incredible :) I wouldn't hesitate to come back again when I'm in Cabo next time!

Just throw the whole thing onto your taco for that extra fresh bite. Had to take a star off for slow service. I noticed they served other tables after us, which never makes you feel good.

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.

They have a well diverse menu - seafood, steak, pastas, & more and everything we tried was well executed. The surf and turf platter was the hit of the night. Waiter told us it was good for 4 and it was definitely that, with leftovers. We also tried a pasta pomodero and it was yummy with a little kick. The imperial shrimp are a must get if you like shrimp. These are bacon wrapped, jalapeno stuffed. Yum! I would also highly recommend the tampiquena steak - Mexican style steak with a chile relleno. Best starters were queso fundido (MUST GET!) and the caprese was also very fresh! My one draw back was the temperature, but I know that's hard to fix. We came in August and it was very very hot and muggy. But didn't change our thoughts on the restaurant overall. Just something to note.

While there were fans and a covered dining area, this was no match for the uncomfortable August weather and ubiquitous flies. In the center of the dining area is a beautiful tree, but beware of the birds pooping on your table or worse, your food. To make the best of our situation, Marco and his servers set out table fans and I asked for extra cloth napkins to be placed over our food.

However, service was great and Marco did his best to make the most of our less than stellar experience. Because we had an early 5:30p reservation, we were able to park in front of the restaurant.
