Went out to grab some quick food. Ordered at the bar with Will the bartender. Food was great and will service was excellent.

I just stopped in to have a beer and quick snack and had a great time! It's a sports bar with a lot of activity and fun. It's was clean, the beer was very cold and the snack (nachos) was good. read more

Such a horrible experience. Rude gentleman at the door, not a care for the patrons at the bar. We asked him to take a photo of our group and he said "I don't want to" and then proceeded to stare at wall. Such a joke. read more

By far the worst cantina I've been to. Went there for happy hour and had the pleasure of meeting Kathy L. She was horrible. Not only was she inattentive, she blatantly ignored my our party on numerous accounts. Definitely will not be back. read more

18 dollars to park on the beach. About a 3-5minute walk from the lot. The steak was beautifully grilled and taste delicious with the cotija cheese, guacamole and pico digallo. The service was attentive, kind and efficient. It's a chill ambiance and is a local tourist attraction. Highly recommend spending the extra 18 for parking. It beats looking for parking everywhere and takes the time out of it. Margaritas were delicious and huge. They can be shared if you're into that lol but funner if you can take it down on your own lol. Enjoy! read more

We got the chicken fajitas today. I had already taken a little bit of chicken out of this picture, but there is way more vegetables than chicken. It was good but very salty as was the beans. Service was crapy, not friendly at all, didn't ask my husband what he wanted to drink she started to walk away, I had to call her back. Even the gentleman behind me was asking for his margarita that she forgot to order so he moved inside to the bar for better service he said to me. . Don't think we'll be coming back here anytime soon. read more

Terrible service DRINKS TRASH SERVICE TRASH!!!!!The waiter and Manger talk more then service the customer. Chloe is a terrible server she made me immediately cash out for my drinks as I ordered my drink, but never returned to take my food order.i Had to let the Manager know the service we received and he definitely tried to make it a better experience. read more

Gawd I hate to do this, but it's even worse now. The drinks are weak. I don't think they know that quac has lime juice in it or a marg isn't just tequila and sugar water. Not clean, not friendly. Avoid. read more

Bad service! We arrived and we were told to take a seat about ten minutes after another group of people arrived and were served right away.Skin color played a factor for sure, we must have been to brown... I walk over to let them know we had been skipped the server said ok. I'll be over in a few. Some places just don't deserve customers read more

Margarita + me equals lucky you. Lol. Cabo Cantina is the perfect place to enjoy good drinks, good food and good prices in a fun, casual atmosphere filled with upbeat party hits and classic rock booming from our jukebox. They have SIX locations across Southern California. Interior decor and atmosphere were very lively with tv screens on each corner of their full bar. We came here on a late afternoon to grab food after spending all day at the beach playing vb. We checked-in and the host checked our IDs. We sat at their outdoor patio and it took us 13+ mins for a server; we almost wanted to leave and go home. Luckily, Santos, our server arrived. My friends ordered Baja bowls (chicken, shrimps and beef) and I had chicken tenders and elote (corn). A few minutes later our food arrived. Their hand breaded Chicken tenders were warm, tasty, soft and flavorful. Conversely, their Elite (corn on the cob) was subpar in taste and quality. Prices were reasonable. Servers/Host were amiable and professional. Overall, we had a good meal and decent dine-in experience. read more

The only good thing about this place is the margaritas & tequila and that it's right by the beach. Fun atmosphere for day drinking! Food is mediocre and overpriced (but you are at a tourist spot by the beach) it's what you expect. Not a great spot for vegans, they have some vegetarian options, but skip the taco salad! It's totally not worth it. PS you cannot go wrong with any of the frozen margarita options! read more

We stopped in for a few drinks and football after taking bikes on the boardwalk and I kid you not... I had 3 mega-sized margaritas and my wife 2 regular sized drinks and we left with zero buzz, which is crazyyyyyy. Let me also state that every time we come to MDR for the week we always pop in. Zero chance we ever go back. read more

Good drinks(loved the cucumber margarita) , nice staff, good decent food (could work on the cheese for the nachos, it got hard fast), and comfortable environment. Could be a bit more clean but overall I loved this place and had a nice view. This place felt more welcoming than the bars we tried in the same block which gave us rude energy that's why I gave this place 5 stars. read more

Just don't go. I didn't even think to check reviews because I've been to Cabo Cantina and multiple locations so many times. We were very intentional on going at Happy Hour (4-8 PM, daily). After ordering two margaritas with the worst pour I've ever seen, I didn't worry too much about it. It's 2 for 1, we'll take these and leave. It wasn't until we were charged full price for both that I spoke up. At that point, the bartender responded in a rude way that they don't do happy hour at this location. EVERY menu in this place has these Happy Hour times and it's painted all outside of the restaurant. If this is the case, you would think they would not only update all of this, but also offer a way to make up for this for a customer. Whether that's discounting this round, giving us an extra round, or a simple apology, something would have been nice. Then, we could make our own decisions about staying. Instead, we felt like idiots despite this being an issue on their end. It's pretty simple after seeing other recent reviews. This isn't a place you want to go to. read more

I love this place!!! But.... The server that brings the food to the tables outside has red scabs in his head and he keeps scratching them, not cool.. when he's the one touching your food!! Management please fix this!!! Other than that I love the food drinks and prices read more

Great Happy Hour 3pm-8pm! Our waiter Issac was amazing, gave great suggestions from the menu and was very attentive. They also had a photographer taking photos of customers and giving out free postcards. Beautiful pics (will add). Food and drinks was amazing per usual. 10/10 recommend! Customer service is top tier!!! read more

I don't know why this place is rated so low it was AMAZING food. I ordered the steak tacos and wings and it was so good The place wasn't packed so maybe that's why it was good. The waiter was so sweet and the atmosphere was amazing! I ate outside which probably was the best part. The drinks were so good. I went here because we were looking for a place to eat while at venice beach and stumbled here and I'm so glad I did. Me and my family loved this. read more

Enjoyed a Cali Margarita, fueled with Red Bull, along with Sunset rolls, and mega fish tacos. Food was all cooked crispy, fish was light, fresh, and flaky. Margarita was a bit sweet for my liking but what I expected for a fish bowl size drink by the beach. read more

My family and I had an absolute BLAST here. I went to celebrate my cousins 21st and the experience was great! The vibes were very chill and our waitress Alie was amazing! She made sure we were very well taken care of & since it was basically our first time there she recommended the best things for us. If it wasn't for her there's no doubt we would have regretted a few orders. The nachos were good but the fries were by far the best! My mouth is salivating just thinking about it again And also shout out to the bartender briana (I think that was her name) because I requested a little extra mango for my mango margarita and she made it super delicious!! Along with the rest of our drinks which were also delicious! read more

I used to go to this Cantina all the time while working nearby in Mar Vista (15 years ago). We'd get a few coworkers together and go for happy hour every week or so, and I always had a good time. When I came by a few months ago while visiting the area, the experience was just okay. There weren't too many people inside or outside but the waiters took FOREVER to come get an order or bring the drinks. I legit waited 20-30 minutes each time I needed a new drink. The drinks were very sweet and watered down, so at some point, I had to ask for an extra shot to be added to my smoothies. It's still a decent 3/5 star spot, mainly, because their outdoor patio is so good for people watching. read more

Ah good ol cabo cantina. You can't go wrong with 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. Every time I come here service is always great and food and drinks are always on point. The nachos are a good size portion that you can share with friends. Not a fan of the wings. The cheese dip is ok, nothing special. read more

cabo cantina is a great spot if you're looking for fun vibes and huge portions. their food is pretty cheap, and you get a TON of it, which is a bonus. the chips and salsa were good (both salsas were quite flavorful, but the salsa verde was a standout), and the steak tacos were decent. it's located super close to the beach and we got lucky with the corner booth upstairs, which had gorgeous views. our server was super friendly but it was hard to track him down throughout our meal, especially as it got much louder/more crowded. read more

This is what you get for a classic tourist spot location. I try to be kind because I know places are understaffed in this climate, but these folks weren't even trying. We were there for 3 or so hours to watch March Madness games and I think were waited on twice, both we had to get their attention. The food was very mid and I don't think the staff wanted to be there. Price is a little high for the low quality. read more

Havent been here since I used to live in LA over 5 years ago. The first thing I noticed is a 'beachy' sand filled area out front where you can have dinner in what looks like an actual beach (minus the ocean) which is super cool. There are tiki torches, candles and quite the ambiance however, since I had my lap dog I couldn't sit there. Strict rules of 'No Dogs Allowed on the sand' was enforced so I sat in the back on the open patio. The waiter came over quickly and told me the restaurant was under new management and the menu was completely different than it had ever been... hmmm, that could be good or bad. I ordered gauc along with the chips (cant go wrong with that) and the chicken enchilada dinner along with a margarita. There weren't many people on the back patio and lucky for me, everything I ordered came out pretty quickly. One of the 'new things' they do is put the beans and rice in little taco bowls next to the item ordered instead of directly on the plate. Cool! More food :) The enchiladas were really good so were the beans and the side salad. The rice was ok but if I'm being honest, I'm a stickler for Spanish rice because nobodies rice compares to my grandma's recipe. No lie. Kudos to the new management, I like the vibe, the food, the fact that the back patio is pet friendly and the new-ish beach chill area out front is really dope too. Thumbs up! read more

This review is strictly for the food (although who can beat a 2-for-1 happy hour) Steak nachos: 10/10 - this is one of the few places that layer the cheese on the chips & doesn't just melt it on the top (KEY)! Also they use actual melted shredded cheese nacho cheese Surf & turf tacos: 10/10- these are soooo good Cabo surprisingly uses really good quality steak for these dishes. We stan Queso dip: 7.5/10- the thing about their queso is it's inconsistent. Sometimes it's really good & sometimes its weird tasting. Thus, a 7.5 read more

I've gone to this location multiple times and have had no issues. Though the food came out well and the drinks were delicious, this experience was ruined once I realized my debit card had gone missing. Being in a bar, we all know you have to put a debit card down to open the tab- which we did with no worries. At the end of our meal, a card was returned however I paid in cash so had no reason to check it. (Please keep in mind the restaurant had all of 5 people there) It wasn't until I drove home (1 hour away) and stopped at the bank that I realized I was given the wrong debit card. When I called the restaurant manager to complain and bring the error to their attention, I was put on hold while he "searched for Fatima"- my waitress- however no one ever picked up the phone. This is unacceptable and completely ruined my night. I now have to wait a week to receive a new debit card which has inconvenienced me and my livelihood. I understand mistakes happen however management should've handled the situation way better than this. read more

It was absolutely horrible customer service! The guy at the bar is useless! Never came to check on the table once while seating.

Came into town to see my cousin she recommended this place . Service is slow . They have one server ? Took 45 mins to get drinks . Don't recommend this place ! read more

We came here for a birthday and had the best time with our server, Santos. He always made sure to check up on us and did a great job handling such a large table. Cozumel marg: key lime pie marg, sweet but not too sweet, on the juicy side Watermelon marg: on the sour side, delicious Had the chicken nachos and the queso dip with steak. The chicken nachos needed more cheese, the queso dip was the table favorite. read more

Dependable! If ever by the beach, wanna watch the fight, game or just an easy eats! Cabo never fails. Most of the time the drinks are yummy! Service always great, cause the staff is GREAT new and old! For the ladies, occasionally you get the determined stalker, drunk lingerer or loud unwanted guest HA! But still a cool chill spot! Pluses: Dependable good food for a dive bar! Great location and cool staff! Minuses: drinks are unpredictable, sometimes they hit and sometimes... Suggestion: Add beans and rice to the taco salads! Get fries with the Muchos Nachos (So good!... better than chips that can occasionally be burned) read more

So I come to this Cabo Cantina all the time and this is the first time I've ever had a problem. The bouncer checked my guy friend's (Caucasian) I.D. before he checked mine. While he holds a Texas I.D., he is now a resident of California. I too hold a valid TX I.D. After he showed GE I.D. he was waved on in. Standing behind him, I moved forward and presented my I.D., a valid TX I.D. The man who looked at my I.D., presented as the new GM of the Venice location. After he looked at my I.D., he said I needed a second form if I.D. before I could enter. Note, my I.D. is the same as my friend's - a valid TX I.D. Remember, my friend was able to enter the bar with his single form of I.D. What was wrong with mine? Rhetorical question, we already know. I requested the GM identify himself. He stated his name was Amador Sagrero. Continuing, I asked him to please inform me why my friend, who has a TX I.D. was able to enter with no additional identification and I was not able to. He continued to cite it's "corporate policy". Remember, my friend had already been waved in. He turned around and highlighted that he was not asked to present additional I.D. The GM continued to state it is corporate policy, pointing to a sign near the entrance. When I looked over at the sign, it read upon entry a patron needed a valid CA I.D., a valid out-of-state I.D. (which I presented). Additional forms if I.D. - two forms of I.D. were needed if a non-valid DL form of I.D. was presented. The GM continued with, show another form of I.D. or you're not getting in. The bouncer (at 6:15p Feb. 1st) said, I could always just go somewhere else. I looked at my friend, and that is what we did. We went a few blocks down the street, to the Whaler, where we were received very well! In the end, I'd like to think in 2020, in Venice CA one would not experience racism, but that wasn't the case. My friend and I, both from Texas, met in California. Cabo Cantina has been our reunion spot. Both in Venice and West Hollywood. Sadly, after tonight's experience, we will not be returning to either. The experience reminded me, as far as we've come, racism still exists. I was discriminated against. What started as a great evening, a reunion after two months, ended with a sour taste in our mouths and a gut punch in my stomach. Witnesses were present. Based on eye witness accounts, footage captured, etc., I will educate myself on their policies, and educate my friends on what to expect from CC and the family of restaurants going forward. read more
