Double piña colada !!!
Darcy T.

This place we went to TWICE while in Cabo! Lively , plenty TVs to watch the current game events, drinks cold , food was freshly made and service was really good and welcoming too, music playing was a cherry on top!!!!! Hagar did a great thing here!!!

Fish tacos
Breanne B.

Sangria tasted very sour. Lemon drop shot was very good. Ambiance was chill, it was 10:30 am so there were many tourists and the game was on but no music or other entertainment at that time. Chips were thick and salsas were not spicy at all which was a bit disappointing. The avocado salad was flavorless. We added salt to all items. Asada tacos and fish tacos were meh. Service was fast and seemed eager to get us in and out. They counted the tip in front of us and complained. Many seats were stools and they didn't allow split checks for our group. Still a Fun experience in Cabo.

Was on a Carnival 6 Day cruise to Cabo and Ensenada. This was Day 3 of the cruise. We took a bike taxi from the beach by the Port. He actually became our unofficial tour guide lol. He brought us here because it is a very famous spot. After going to it, it is a definitely a tourist trap. I sat this because it was very very too much. Too fancy, too showey, too out there. You could tell that no locals must likely frequent it. Definitely did not want to spend any real money in there. The music playing was not even Spanish. It was American. My wife and I did not have any food here, we each just had a drink. The drink I ordered was not great at all. It was a mojito type of drink and it had way too much mojito to it lol. When we got picked , I told him to not take us to any more tourist spots and to take us only to where locals go. We wanted to go where he would go. Of course we stayed in the area near the port, but we wanted local food only. He understood the assignment after that point.

While massive and festive, you won't find any local cuisine here. If you're looking for basic taco, burgers, or cheese fries, this might be for you. Drinks are also very expensive as compared to other local places. Our servers were super friendly and took great care of us, but after looking at the menu and realizing our mistake, we ordered tacos and chips and guac. The guac wasn't fresh, needed salt and spices. Ugh. Lesson learned. Venture out and take a chance on anywhere else, especially when in Cabo. Don't make our mistake!

The tourist trap in Cabo. A few blocks from the marina. Service is basic. The food was better than I expected. I had the fajitas and my wife had the chilies rellenos. The beers were cold. Outside seating, your chasing flies away. Typical, a photographer makes his rounds trying to get tourists to buy a picture in a frame. Pass. Lastly, payment was odd. I had to tell the waiter the percentage I wanted to give when paying the bill. In Cabo.... Go see it once. Live the experience . After that, go elsewhere.Better food can be found in local places

It was my first time in Cabo and I knew I needed to stop by to visit Cabo Wabo. The ambiance is funky, hip and very cool to be at.. The waitress was attentive, helpful and very quick. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is due to the food.. it was lacking spice or any flavor ( reminded me of a Mexican Applebees) and one of the friends had a shrimp taco that she couldn't eat and it actually has flies following the plate from the kitchen.. if you go to Cabo Wabo- grab some drink- they are amazing ( I had "I can't drive 55" Yum) , buy a Tshirt- amazing gift shop, but don't have any food- it's not worth it.. LOTs of other great food options in Cabo..

When in Cabo, you need to stop at the Cabo Wabo. Good bands. Good food. Good service. The lines can get long if they have some kind of special entertainment, or if Sammy is expected to be there. It's worth checking out. It's only about a 5 minute walk from the end of the marina.

My boyfriend has always wanted to go there so that was our first stop and I'm glad it was. They had these lobster tostadas that were killer and their drinks were delicious fun atmosphere very friendly people can't wait to go back.

I took a cruise a few weeks ago and stopped in at Cabo Wabo for a drink. I am so glad that I did! The service was on point, all the ladies and gents were really hustling, polite and professional. I loved all the music that was playing and the atmosphere was fantastic! I sat in an open air area so there was a light breeze going through and it felt really good! Drinks are a little expensive, but I didn't care, I was more there to say that I had been there, it was on my bucket list! I really enjoyed the short time that I was there, just taking it all in. I saw that they have a gift shop just outside and avoided that. Thankfully Cabo Wabo was only a short walk from the spot that my tour was meeting at. The next time I am in Cabo, I will stay long enough to grab a bite to eat as well, Mexican is my favorite food!

This is an adorable restaurant, just what we wanted from Cabo. We have ordered the coconut shrimp which was delicious. The garlic and soy sauce dip was a good complement to it. They have an appetizer coconut shrimp that only comes with the shrimp. The meal portion comes with yellow rice and grilled veggies. The service was faster than we expected given that all the tables around us had no food or drinks when we sat down. All around, a great place to stop when in Cabo San Lucas.

Had chips and salsa at the place and had a couple drinks all good. fun vibe and cool things to look at. Glad we went in. Service was good and friendly

We walked to multiple other restaurants and the stars seemed to align and told us to go back to Free souls. So glad that happened. David is spectacular- he flawlessly runs the show at Freesouls. The attention to detail, the anticipation of the guests needs and the quality of food were all top notch. This service is better than most in the USA! Absolutely Ritz Carlton quality (I used to work at a RItz so I'm not joking). We ordered the Shrimp stack, the ceaser salad, a margarita pizza, the yellowfin tuna entrée and the best brownie ever made! Way to much food but we wanted to try everything! Worth every penny! This place was absolutely amazing. 5 stars with lots of exclamations. Do yourself a favor and eat here. You can make a reservation as well.

You can't beat the setting and you can head there right after you go to Cerritos beach.

The owner has over 100 dogs at his farm he rescues .. at any time there are free roaming dogs special to the owner that he's rescued around the restaurant. You can buy bacon for them at the bar to feed them so they can enjoy and continue to live their best life. At the entrance, there's a place to donate to their dog rescue campaign. can't tell you how much that means to me and how cute these little little dogs are! you have to stop by even if just to feed the dogs bacon, although the octopus appetizer is the best I've ever had!!

I was in Cabo for an event with my travel group called the Take Over. The majority of our group…read moredid excursions on Saturday. I didn't want to do excursions so I found some alternative things to do and one of the things that was highly recommended was a massage at the Sandbar. I was able to go online to book and pre-pay. I posted the information in our Facebook group and ironically there were more people that were interested in going. We had a van of 10 people and then I think there was an Uber with two more people, so 12 people total from my group went to the Sandbar at around 11 AM on Saturday. When I got there, I asked the lady that was checking us in if it was possible to get a discount or a referral bonus or something because of the number of people that I bought in and she said "no" and I guess I had no choice but to accept that. I probably should've asked in advance, but I know a lot of businesses will offer discounts when you have a group. When I tell you the massage was amazing, I loved every single minute of my 90 minute full body massage. I loved being able to listen to the ocean and just the serenity was so good. Afterwards I changed into my clothes, tipped my masseuse then went downstairs to ask for water because every time I've gotten a massage it's followed by water so that you can hydrate. When I asked the hostess about getting water I was told you have to go to the bar and pay for it. I asked her why would we pay for water when we just spent money on a massage? She told me that only the foot massage comes with a drink. Well the foot massage is significantly cheaper so I don't understand that, but OK. She then said to just go talk to the people at the bar and as I was talking to the young lady at the bar, this guy came over, I'm guessing he was the manager, Pepe, and he was giving her the signal to not give me a complementary water. I thought that not only was that rude, it was extremely poor customer service. Some of the group that I was with decided to buy some tequila shots, so it's not like we were not spending money in their establishment because we were, and to not include a one dollar bottle of water is showing me that they don't value my money and I should not spend my money at that establishment ever again. I loved the massage, but it's very important to me to have good customer service and if you can't extend me a basic courtesy, you don't deserve to have my USD or my pesos.

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.
