Tailhunter has an awesome location on the boardwalk. However, so does Applebee's and Burger King. The drinks and the service was great, but the food was underwhelming and not very authentic. Honestly, I expected way more from a restaurant that boasts about how fresh the fish is. I hate to say it, bu this place is clearly a North American tourist trap. If you want authentic food in La Paz, you'll need to do some walking away from the boardwalk. read more

For what looks like a sort of lame American sports bar on La Paz's malecón, the food here was actually pretty good, and prices were reasonable. Sitting along the malecón, you get to have a decent ocean view from this 3 story bar restaurant. I had a shrimp plate with beans and rice, and while the presentation was really nothing to write home about, the shrimp were tasty, fresh, well seasoned, and grilled perfectly. Service was friendly and bilingual, they accepted cash and credit, and the atmosphere was really relaxed. If you're looking for an "authentic" dining experience among Mexican locals, you might find all the TV's, geriatric expats, and cheesy lighting a turn off, but we were wandering and hungry and looking to explore away from the center of town on foot, and while I had some reservations walking into this place, I have to say, our meal here hit the spot. This may very well be the weirdest review I've written to date-- it's one of those places I really didn't expect to enjoy, but was pleasantly surprised, so I'm feeling a bit conflicted as I write! read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN LA PAZ.... after spending a lovely day at the beach and enjoying the sun. Our family of 5 decided to try this well recommended restaurant. Once we arrived we noticed there was only one couple, therefore we were seated promptly. Our waiter "Pulido" took our order in the most unfriendliest manner. We then waited an hour for our food, it got to the point we just left because our waiter disappeared and our food never came out after we waited 1:30. Very dissatisfying experience. Due to the long wait and having to find another restaurant; we lost time to do any activities for the day . Do not recommend if you are looking for a quick bite unless you are willing to wait 2 hours . read more

NO DAMN STARS..Waited 1hr for our food. Turns out a chef just got here, they said to wait another 10min. Stale chips, my ice has something in it, no flavor. We are better off asking for our bill and buying tacos on the street... pathetic don't waste your time. read more

We had the guacamole and tres tacos and they were very good. We sat and looked out over the bay. We are very good service and we were able to communicate very well read more

This is quite possibly our favorite place in all of Los Cabos. Everything we ordered here was fantastic. The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable. Try the Campechana!!! (drools) One thing of note. Before we came to this restaurant my wife disliked ceviche. Now she cant get enough. Well the whole region in her opinion just has great ceviche but this place was her gateway into the love of the dish. The view over the bay was gorgeous. read more

Tailhunters Restaurant is Awesome. Just a few days ago, we did a five day fishing and golf trip to La Paz. Since 2009, we've been to La Paz every other year to do some fishing with Tailhunters International. All of the trips have included dinners at the Tailhunters where we've enjoyed eating our own catch. So, far we've done well enough where we could eat some of the freshly caught fish (from early that day) and still have plenty to take home. The meals always include plenty of fish and much more. Our favorites are ceviche, sashimi, grilled collars and belly, salsa verde fish and fish tacos. Drinks are great too. For me, the ice cold Coronas, Pacificos and Modelos are the best pairing with the fish but having a Margarita is a great kick start while waiting for the dinner. This year, all of the rest of the guys hit on the Mango Margarita's and liked them so much they were asking if they could have it by the pitcher. Haha, the House Margarita was plenty good for me. On top of the great food and drink, the service and hospitality are over the top. When you go there, ask to meet Jonathan and Jilly. They are the owners and they'll take care of you. . read more

You've got to try this restaurant! Casual dining in a fun atmosphere with a great view of the bay and wonderful food. We visited twice during our 5-day stay in La Paz. The guacamole is sooo good, the poblanos in cream sauce, and all the different fish choices were great! Jonathan, Jill and their staff all make sure that everyone is taken care of. Enjoy! read more

they took along time to order even for something to drink I liked the fish and chips my girlfriend liked her food too just took a long time to even receive our drinks and food and wasn't even that busy awesome view though I would go back for the food and view but service IS ....why I give 3 stars read more

Tailhunter - Mexican Near Me - La Paz, BCS

Amazing hospitality, scheduling, fishing...all around service and hospitality! Highly recommend. I have fished all over the world and in Mexico for a number of years. Fishing with Tailhunter was one of the best trips ever! Jonathan and Jilly are amazing hosts. Their attention to detail from getting perfect accommodations, captains, and venues right down to preparing the catch after a day on the water at Tailhunter Restaurant and packaging the rest for the flight home...simply fabulous. They care about their business, their clients and their crew. Coming back soon. This is an annual destination. Thanks Jonathan and Jilly for an amazing week. read more

Meh. Been here for 5 days and so far this is our least favorite place. Ordered the teriyaki ribs (195 pesos and way way way too salty and not very tasty) and the coconut shrimp (165 pesos which is basically tiny shrimp clumped together to form a patty, battered with coconut and deep fried) served with a very liquid orange juice sauce. The view is fantastic though, so were the pina coladas (65 pesos) and the chipotle salsa served with the chips were delicious. Maybe this place is best for a light snack, drinks and a view. read more

I've been here ten times at least and it is near the top of my list. I like the place for its atmosphere and service, but the food has been variable. I have ordered the salsa verde three times and each time it was different. The first time, fantastic. The second, okay. Last time, it was salty. A friend ordered fish and chips the same night and was not impressed. Maybe it was just my luck because I know restaurants have good and bad days in the kitchen. Just the same, I'll go back. I like the place. read more

Awesome time fishing w/ Tailhunter, and we came back and had our freshly caught Dorado prepared perfectly that evening. Delicious food, and an awesome view from the 3rd floor open air seating. A great way to finish a long fun day out on the water we'll be back again for sure! read more

Atomphere, View, Food, and Cost would give this place a 5/5. However, service was very slow. Ended up being here almost 2 hours due to that. Otherwise food is extremely reasonable in pricing. Food is tasty. Best of all it is a funky place that has a great view of the marina. read more

Great bar, good food. You can't beat the view on this multi-level bar/grill. Beer is $2.00-2.50, average food plate cost is $7.00-9.00. Great place to chill and relax. read more

Nice location and views. Descent food and good drinks. Its a waterfront bar that tourists flock to

Went there on a few occasions the week before Odile hit and I'm glad to hear it survived the storm. One of best restaurants I've ever been to. Food was phenomenal, I absolutely loved the steak fajitas and coconut shrimp. As my go-to restaurant while in La Paz and with such delicious food, I also ended up buying a souvenir t-shirt from the place. If ever in La Paz again, I'll have to go out for one of their deep sea fishing excursions. Great view, great atmosphere with sports on in the background, nice owners, amazing chef, GREAT place all around. read more

Bucket o' beer, fish tacos, and a view of the bay. Paradiso.

We came to La Paz to celebrate a bachelor party! And what better way to do that then fish with Tailhunter's! We had heard alot about Johnathon, Jill and his crew and how incredible they are.They did not disappoint. After a great day of fishing they prepared our catch for us and blew our minds with the flavor! During our 4 night stint here we ate at Tailhunter's twice and each time the atmosphere was incredible with a great view of the ocean, Great staff that kept us laughing and of course the food was amazing! We all enjoyed picking different entrees and appetizers and sharing them among the 4 of us. Every item was to die for! If I could recommend a few things it would be the Ceviche, Johnathon's Ribs, The burgers, Coconut and battered fish. And that's just to name a few. Whether you are out on a date, hanging with friends, or spending time with the Family, Tailhunter is the place to be! read more

Tasty food, great bar and nice open air restaurant. The best chips and salsa. Get a margarita. We come here every year when we're down fishing. Games on TVs. Saw a great local band play this year. read more

Despite its non-Mexican name, Tailhunters offers fresh, homemade Mexican and other types of food that incorporates seafood, meats and veggies. Love the shrimp empanadas! If you are out fishing with their fleet, which I highly recommend, ask them to bring some of your catch to the restaurant and they will prepare it to your preference (I recommend the beer battered preparation). A must go when in La Paz! read more

We enjoyed everything about tailhunter restaurant. When we arrived for our fishing trip, we stopped in for lunch. The fish tacos were great! They have good salsa. Later in the trip I had ceviche. Delicious! The staff is very friendly and it is child friendly. Our last night, they cooked our fish we provided to perfection and made us poke and ceviche. The you Jonathan for everything! read more

Tailhunter - Dinner time - Mexican Near Me - La Paz, BCS

We stopped in and had high expectations after reading some reviews. We had and order of fish (pescado) tacos and pollo enchaladas. The enchaladas were good but the tacos were dry and tasted like boxed fish sticks. The service was very good and the view was great. read more

There is no way this restaurant could be rated #1 in La Paz !! Ever other place I ate was way better. You have to be a Billy Goat to negotiate the stairs and once you reach the top it's really nothing special. I admit I can't comment on what a sunset would have added to the experience but even so I wasn't impressed. Shrimp in La Paz is always good but they were no better than any place else. I'll pass on this place next visit and explore some other restaurants. read more

Tailhunter never disappoints. Jonathan and Jill are amassing folks and do an awesome job.

Jonathan and his sweet wife, Jill, and all the guys that work for them were fantastic! The attention to detail to make sure every day out on the water ran smoothly and efficiently was outstanding. And of course, Jonathan & Jill just become family. An excellent fishing trip, and evenings spent at their restaurant were delicious, and very enjoyable. read more

We had 8 of us on the top floor. Great service. Excellent food. Super friendly. Excellent Margaritas. I recommend.

Johnathon and Jill are workaholics and it shows in the quality of service and food!! Place has a great ocean view with live music. I highly recomend. read more

I can't say enough about the service, environment and food at Tailhunter. It's like coming home for dinner! The food was amazing. The wait staff were friendly and very attentive. The open air was refreshing and the view of the ocean was a nice perk. Being from Texas, we love our football and they had the Thursday night NFL games on. If you are in La Paz, Mexico, you must eat at Tailhunter! Jonathan & Jilly created a wonderful experience for us in our first of many visits to La Paz. I didn't know what to expect as I took my first deep sea fishing trip but they exceeded what I thought I'd experience. I couldn't imagine anything better than what Tailhunter provides. They were fantastic hosts, taking care of every detail, timely in all communications, and so helpful in helping us book other excursions. They go above and beyond to serve. read more

Wow! What a place to eat, drink and fish! Jonathan and Jilly are the best host and hostess you could ever work with. From arrival to departure they took care of everything for us. We had a great condo they arranged and three excellent days of fishing with top notch captains in great pangas. Jonathan had all our fish packaged and frozen for our flights back to San Diego very professionally. We had missed this trip last year due to an approaching hurricane - We will not miss this trip again! read more

We've been coming to the Tailhunter Restaurant and Bar for years and have fished with the Tailhunter International fleet long before that. Jonathan and Jill Roldan's attention to quality and service is unmatched in La Paz. The minute that you walk in you are among friends. And, the food is well prepared and abundant. Combining reasonable prices, an accommodating staff and a well-stocked bar, the Tailhunter should be at the top of everyone's list when visiting La Paz. read more

I went there a couple days after Odile ran thru Cabo and we were forced to go to La Paz. Even with minor damage it was a great place with great atmosphere. We will return for sure. read more

Brought our 2 yr old along for the trip and she had a blast at the restaurant. Great location, right across the road from the beach. Ate there three nights - bummed because we wanted to try more food and drinks. The owners, Jill and Jonathan, were so accommodating and friendly. Can't wait to go back! read more

A great place I regularly visit. Great staff, the owner Jonathan a very nice guy. Sorry to hear Julio their manager has left.. he really worked hard to make this place special. You will be missed! read more

We were welcomed by an English speaking host. After being sat, a Paloma was offered to my wife, which she fell in love with. We went a bit lighter, taking the suggestion of the waiter, FRESH yellowfin ceviche, and it was just that. Phenomenal with an accompanying side of guacamole as well. read more
