    Best Margaritas on the Beach!
    Adrienne O.

    Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The margaritas are perfection, their service is excellent - Gina was just wonderful- their food is mouthwatering!! The Ambience is the show stopper with turquoise ocean views at all angles! And then after all that, we one of the most amazing massages of my life in their upstairs oceanfront massage Spa. Treat yourself!!

    I really wanted to like this spot for a great massage but it was lacking. First of all it is in a building upstairs from the beach. It is not in the beach as advertised. The price is epic, $51 for a 90 minute massage, but the massage is more similar to my wife rubbing my shoulders. You must change in the bathroom, remove all of your clothes and wrap a towel around yourself then walk through a crowd to get to your table. If together with someone else there is no guarantee that you will be near one another. You are massaged in the open among the other customers and the crowd. Finally you go to a small dressing room, Put your clothes on and are sent in your way. I personally recommend looking elsewhere for a more personalized, private and better massage.

    Citrus mocktail.  Grapefruit and orange juices with grenadine...

    Fun place for drinks and light dinner around sunset time. Service was great... friendly, attentive, with a fun atmosphere. Right on the beach! Seats downstairs are in the sand... we sat on the deck (2nd floor) and next time we will come for massages on the third floor! View was amazing... and food was very tasty! We had calamari appetizer. So yummy... tempura style served with tartar sauce (mostly mayo), and lime. Ordered fish tacos and shrimp tacos. They were giant sized for street tacos. Couldn't eat it alll and took the second tacos home for the next day. Yum! Definitely plan to come back so we can enjoy massages before a meal!

    Only 5?

    I was yelping a good burger place in Cabo and this place popped up which is right next to our hotel! Great! They also have a massage which was more inexpensive compared to the massage place that we frequent. I could see from my balcony that this place has more customers. The other place said Sand Bar only changes their sheets and towels after serving 5 customers while they change their sheets every visit. I bought it but I don't think that's true. Anyway, back to my food review. The burgers were massive. We also ordered oysters, calamari and fish and chips. Ate on the balcony on the beach with a beautiful full red moon. Service was polite and hospitable. Excellent dinner! Next time we're here, I'm gonna try their massage.

    Love the view

    Stopped in Cabo while on a cruise and researched this place beforehand. Wife and I booked 90 minute massages ($51 each) with a reservation for brunch to follow. Everything was amazing. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent views right on the beach. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I booked a 90-minute four-hands massage ($105) for our anniversary. Talk about relaxing and simply heavenly! The ocean breeze and the sound of the waves made it an unforgettable experience. Whenever we visit Cabo, a massage at The Sandbar is always on our itinerary. This was our first time trying a four-hands massage, and wow -- once you try it, you'll never want to go back to just two hands. The massage itself definitely deserves 5 stars. However, I'm giving 3 stars overall because we didn't get the full 90 minutes we paid for. Our appointment was scheduled for 11:00 a.m., and we arrived early at 10:40 a.m. Unbeknownst to us, they started the clock when we checked in at 10:40 a.m. After the massage, I got dressed and checked my watch -- it was 12:09 p.m. That's when I realized we had been shorted on time. When I brought this up, they explained that the session started when we checked in. I really dislike this policy. Even if they counted from 10:40 a.m., it still doesn't add up to a full 90 minutes, especially since 12:09 was after I had already gotten dressed. It was disappointing to feel like we were cheated out of part of the experience. For the quality of the massage, I'd happily give 5 stars, but the time issue is a big letdown -- especially on a special occasion like our anniversary.

    Exactly what I come to Cabo for! The authentic seafood, the mezcal drinks, and the by-the-beach table. They also had a beef hamburger for the wifey since she's not too keen on the raw stuff LOL

    We went to the sandbar to grab some drinks and appetizers before dinner. We were seated right on the beach with a lovely view of the cove. The atmosphere is a fun party vibe, but still good for a date night or family. All of the food was exceptional, and the drinks were good too. I would go back here on my next visit.

    Delicious drinks with an amazing view. Friendly service.

    Drinks and appetizers with an amazing view. Good food, friendly service, and fun atmosphere. We are staying in San Jose, and wanted a lively atmosphere. We had a great time!

    The only reason for 4 stars is bc the masseuse could have used a lot more pressure. My husband said his was great. If we ever return to Cabo we will return here for sure.

    We came here for just a quick drink after a whale watch, but having already had enough tequila, we settled for a refreshing hibiscus water instead. Just what the doctor ordered. Tatt, tangy, and sweet. The bartender was fast and efficient, the beverage was tasty, scenery is over the top beautiful, and we left happy.

    Beautiful place to have a drink and snack. The French fries are excellent and the ceviche was so refreshing. We also had a 90 min massage upstairs and it was sooooo worth it. Plan to feel like a wet noodle afterwards and just chill out for the rest of the day. The music was definitely loud but I actually really enjoyed it. There's no talking so I didn't mind being in the same room as the other people getting the massage. Super friendly staff too. Took off one star because I went back to take food to go and the bar tender was pressuring me to buy a drink while I waited for my food

I'm…read morepretty critical when it comes to restaurants and don't hand out 5-star reviews easily, especially in tourist-heavy areas where food is often overhyped and underwhelming. 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.

While the food and service makes Tobasco's one of our favorite places, Teamo, a manager, was very rude and discourteous. Several other patrons said that they typically leave when he comes in the afternoon. There was an issue that was resolved by our waiter, Luis, for whom we are grateful. But we are left with a proverbial bad taste in our mouths by the hostile way in which Teamo treated us. It's very unfortunate for such a wonderful place, with delicious food and drinks and a perfect location on the beautiful beach. Hopefully, the owner will recognize the negative effect that Teamo presents to loyal customers like my friends and me, who return yearly almost every day of our trip, and appreciate the rest of the staff and all that Tobasco's offers otherwise.
