    The best guacamole I've ever had, and we ordered guac with every single meal we ate in Cabo, so this statement should not be taken lightly. It is freshly made in huge stone mortar pestles and is beyond phenomenal. Seriously GO GET THIS GUAC!! We also had the shrimp quesadillas that were so fresh and not greasy. Very different from the typical Americanized quesadillas we were use to, but still very cheesy and creamy with a nice fresh tortilla. They were hot but not grilled. It is a small simple place with small tables and diner stools, not necessarily a nice dinner destination, but you absolutely have to come here at least once on your trip. They also have topo Chico and Coronas, which are super refreshing to add to the mix. My favorite restaurant I went to in Cabo, don't miss it.

    First time here, I didn't like it, I had a huarache the Maza was stale the meat had lots of fatty pieces mixed in. I wanted some aguas frescas they did not have any which is weird how do you have a restaurant and not fulfill all the departments.

    Stopped by for lunch. Parking at this location is not good. Tortillas were freshly made. Guacamole was delish. I recommend the carnitas tacos. They definitely differ from the American tacos which usually include lettuce, cheese, sour cream. These tacos are just meat but very tasty. The inside of the restaurant is small.

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!

It was authentic, unique, and incredibly delicious. The al pastor taco was packed with flavor, and the cheese-crusted tortilla topped with al pastor was next-level amazing. The fresh fish miso taco was a standout as well, perfectly fresh with an incredible balance of flavors. Don't skip the sides either--the beans and esquite were every bit as memorable as the tacos. Every bite was outstanding, the quality was exceptional, and it's clear this place takes pride in what they serve. If you appreciate authentic flavors with a few creative twists, do yourself a favor and eat here. You won't regret it!

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.

It's a bit of a walk from the pier, but still within a comfortable tourist-friendly distance. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, and not long after, a line started forming, so timing worked in our favor. The restaurant is fully outdoors under a covered roof, so be prepared for the heat. The menu is limited and posted on the wall without prices, which made me a little nervous about potential tourist upcharges. Still, we decided to go for it and ordered al pastor and birria tacos with cheese, plus a Pacifico beer. While we waited, our waitress brought out a platter of taco toppings along with consommé. When the food arrived, it instantly became a highlight of our trip. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the consommé and toppings. The chili oil paste on the table was no joke and seriously eye-watering. A couple things to note: there are no restrooms or sinks, so we relied on our wet wipes and hand sanitizer. Our total for six tacos and a beer came out to $30 USD, which was a bit higher than expected, and I do wish there had been clearer pricing. That said, it was an authentic, memorable experience and one I'm really glad we checked out.

There was some real competition for top meal, but this one ran away with it. It is a little up the hill and slightly off the main tourist path from downtown Cabo, but still totally walkable and well worth the effort. And if you can plan ahead, go on a Monday. That is when they offer the Molcajete special, which is reason enough on its own to visit. I also heard their steak night is fantastic, so you really cannot go wrong. The space itself is beautiful. The dining room feels polished and inviting, and there is also a charming outdoor area if you prefer fresh air over AC. We kicked things off with the tableside guac, which was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want to start a meal. Even better, they brought out a complimentary little starter first, which is one of my absolute favorite restaurant traditions. In this case it was two mini empanadas, one mushroom and one cheese. Truly a Sophie's choice situation because both were excellent - hubby and I split them in half. For the main event, we split the Molcajete Monday special. You can choose your protein, and we went with steak, though chicken and (I think) shrimp were also options. It came with both corn and flour tortillas if you ask nicely, all housemade. The portion was easily enough for two. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly, sitting in a smoky, slightly spicy sauce in a traditional volcanic stone bowl. Absolutely delicious and one of those dishes you keep talking about long after the meal ends- and much to my travel companions dismay, I talked about it for many days after... Even though we were completely stuffed, I had already seen photos of the flan and could not skip it. We ordered that along with churros to share among four people. Do yourself a favor and skip the churros-- The towering flan is the star. Everyone at the table agreed it was the best we have ever had. A nearby table ordered the crème brûlée and looked genuinely jealous once they saw ours arrive. For what felt like a splurge night, the final bill was surprisingly reasonable, especially compared to US city prices. When you split dishes like we did, it feels like an incredible value for the quality. Treat yourself to this place. And if at all possible, go on a Monday. We almost went back a second time, which says everything. Bathrooms are also lovely, and there is an open kitchen. Service was great too. Treat yo-self!!!
