    Coffee coated Picaña
    Holley Janae P.

    While in Cabo for a girls trip in May, we stayed at Villa la Estancia and ate at the Tomatillos restaurant one evening. I tried the Picaña - beef crusted with coffee and rosemary. It was served with mashed potatoes, an arugula side salad, and fresh bread. While we waited for our food, we sat underneath the gazebo and watched the chefs prepare customer's meals at the patio grill. The string lights and open air patio created a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

    Amazing food and service! Best restaurant in Villa Del palmar, highly recommend it and also getting the premium lobster! Delicious!

    Service: Good (forgot our sever's name) Food: Ok - was tasty but they overcooked our steak and portion was decent. I could've used a few more sides, even if it was just for decoration. Ambiance: Interesting....it's farm to table but we were in the middle of a plaza in a hotel Overall: I've been to a few farm to table restaurants and this place just wasn't what I expected. Paired with decent food, I would probably not return.

    Chocolate mousse

    Food was flavorful but menu has very limited options. Like most restaurants in the area they offer many seafood option's. We had the catch of the day sea bass and a burger. For desert we had the chocolate mousse and ice cream sandwich. Everything was very fresh. Service was very attentive and ambience is nice . Restaurant is located in front of resorts.

    Filet was perfectly cooked.  Potato was smoky and the perfect texture.

    Wow! We really enjoyed all of their perfectly prepared dishes! This is the second night in a row we have been here. Tonight they are preparing two dishes with one of the fish i caught today. Sierra ceviche and blackened Sierra, with farm to table fresh vegetables! the service and cuisine are top notch. You can feel the warmth and joy of the Mexican people in the entire preparation. Don't miss dining here while in Cabo. Viva Mexico!

    Great place to eat local organic food if you're in Cabo area. Great service and excellent food. Make sure to make reservations before coming!

    Babaganoush... Sub par.  Try a different app here.

    Farm to table... You order... Then they go to the farm... Then they make your food. Haha. You cannot get a somewhat speedy meal. Expect this to be an hour and a half order... Even after making reservations. My recommendation is to try some of the other great places in the area... But if you make reservations, come only slightly hungry. I am giving a 2 star review by averaging the meal (3 star taste to price ratio) and 1 star service (staff will blank you- walk by without saying a word).

    Excellent farm to table in Cabo. It is not in a rustic place, but the food is delicious and fresh. Loved the fish.

    Great little outdoor restaurant, we were seated in the gazebo but still enjoyed the stars, moon and fresh outdoor sea breezes!

    A good traveler learns one thing fast: the best meals usually come from places that look like they…read moremight fail a beauty contest. That's exactly how you find Maro's Shrimp House. From the street it looks like a little hole-in-the-wall, the kind of spot you might almost miss if you're busy chasing fancy marina restaurants. But step inside and suddenly you're in on the secret. Open air, flags hanging everywhere, signatures on the walls from travelers who clearly had a very good night, and the kind of energy that says dinner might get a little rowdy. Now let's talk shrimp. Big, juicy, swimming in garlic, lime, butter, and Baja attitude. The kind of seafood that makes you stop mid-bite and look at your table like, "Yep... we picked the right place." If you love seafood with a Mexican twist, this place doesn't mess around. And then there's the legendary Bulldog drink. It's tequila, beer, citrus, and just enough mischief to make the table louder after the first round. Order one and you'll understand why people start signing their names on the walls like they just joined a Cabo fraternity. Bottom line: this isn't just dinner. It's a little Cabo adventure wrapped in garlic shrimp and cold drinks. If you want quiet elegance, go somewhere else. But if you want flavor, personality, and a story to tell later... pull up a chair. Killer line: Some restaurants serve food Maro's serves memories with a side of shrimp.

    I have been coming to Maro's Shrimp House since I found it, probably on Tripadvisor at the time,…read more way back in June 2016 and we make it a must on every trip to Cabo. Even when I was in Cabo on a cruise ship last Friday (11/28), had to hole up in my cabin on my laptop and work a half day (until 11am), missing out on my family's morning excursion all with a 1pm last tender call to get back to the ship... After my wife, mother-in-law, daughter & son's excursion with well reviewed Real Baja Tours (which I arranged separately instead of through the ship), all but my son were dropped off back at the ship as they wanted to skip out on the amazingness of Maro's. Yeah, I KNOW!! CRAZY!! The driver was nice enough to drop my son off at Maro's afterwards and the timing couldn't have been more perfect, just a few minutes before their 12pm opening time. Even though, we were a few minutes early, they gladly seated us right away. And very surprisingly, we were the only ones there for a good 20 minutes. From our very first visit in 2016, it is quite clear that the only things you need order is the shrimp and lobster which are fantastic...and THE BULLDOG (basically a giant schooner of margarita with an upended Coronita standing on its drowning head)...well, no Bulldogs for the boy. Service is very efficient and the friendly staff (despite not knowing too much English, except Maro himself, of course) is very attentive to any calls we had for refills of GARLIC WITH BUTTER (soooo much garlic, it was fantastic) & my dear, dear Bulldogs. Speaking of Bulldogs, they keep track of the most Bulldogs drunken in a sitting. I believe the current leader had 22...which is a superhuman feet because I was feeling quite FINE (read: tipsy) after my two. Also speaking of Bulldogs, on a visit in 2024, my kids, one friend of theirs and I witnessed a server giving 3 ladies a lapdance when they ordered one to share. Now that's service! Lol. Having told the staff we had to get outta there at 12:30pm, they delivered our wonderful meals very promptly and after first giving us totopos (tortilla chips) with two kinds of delicious salsa (well, a salsa and a pico de gallo). We each ordered the 1/4 kilo of lobster and 1/4 medium shrimp for $24.95 USD. (Note prices on the menu are conveniently in USD.) This was more than ample for one person but we prodded on and thoroughly enjoyed it, as always. With each plate, they serve the seafood with a very tasty rice pilaf and some pieces of squash or something I still can't figure out and after 2 Bulldogs, I completely forgot to ask about. They also give you a piping hot cup of that GARLIC WITH BUTTER served over a candle to keep hot which is brilliant. There is nothing worse than eating your giant platter of lobster and shrimp and the butter starts getting cold and becomes gluey and gloppy. That stuff is so good, we asked for another cup (and unlike American restaurants, it was free). On our visit in 2024, we actually got to meet Maro himself, took a picture with him, printed and framed it at home, brought it with us on the cruise and mounted it on the wall to the right of the L.A. Dodger flag, naturally. Since there wasn't any room left to write something with a provided marker, I added my DK to the bottom of the UCLA Bruin flag hidden near the back to the left. Oh, while you might think this place is a dingey dive by the look of the joint with its millions of marked up mostly collegiate flags lining the walls and rafters, the food makes it absolutely worth a visit...or two while you're in town. So save Edith's or Hacienda Y Cucina for the evenings (unless you want what I suspect would be a super fun & roudier crowd in the evenings). HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Wow, that's a David K 4x HIGHLY RECOMMEND so ya better go!

We first heard about this restaurant in June & went for my friend's bday. We had wonderful service & the chef is 5 stars!!

The chef sent out a special appetizer on the house and after our fantastic dinner, the bar tender put on a special presentation with fire and a tower of glasses and served us a hot shot! Over the top!!! If you are looking for a place to have a great dinner for a special occasion or just because you want to experience the perfection of Desierto Azul, I highly recommend it.

We ordered the guacamole with fried rib eye (chicharrones) and it was amazingggg. So tender and delicious. For entrees two of us split the tomahawk. We highly recommend!

Their margaritas (Cadillac) were fantastic as well. Overall we were really happy with the food and service. We were too full for dessert but will definitely be coming back next year!
