Ordered margaritas and beer Had fish shrimp tacos and exquite corn Loved everything and a cool view of the marina!!

Dock D but with chicken
Brittany B.

Wow! What a surprising great place in the midst of a bunch of touristy places. The drinks were spectacular, and interesting! We ordered a mezcal Reyes (I had never had worm salt before!) and the old fashioned (although my fiancé said this was a little fruitier than he's used to). we got the Mac and cheese to begin with which was extremely good! I had the Dock D entree but got chicken instead of fish, everything was tasty. The chicken was very moist, the outside of the chicken was slightly tough but overall good. My fiancé got the Thai pork belly, he wanted the barbacoa but they were out. The waiter did share with us that they are completely changing everything about this place. They are planning to make it a legit Mexican food place (not the touristy "Mexican" food everyone else serves), changing the name etc.

Wow, authentic and tasty! You won't be disappointed in anything you order. We had the pork belly and asada tacos as well as a cheese chicharrone dish and everything was delicious.

Sliders, cooked medium well. Really good!
Jess R.

Absolutely loved everything! The service was great, and waiter and server were super friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. The ingredients in all the food were fresh, and love that they choose local and organic. We ordered the orchard salad, the sliders w/truffle fries, and the mac and cheese w/bacon. I know all this stuff sounds really safe, but you won't be disappointed! The salad came with a plum pate which was nicely complemented with the goat cheese. The jalapeño cheese bun gave the burgers a nice kick and the meat was cooked to perfection! The mac and cheese was my absolute favorite (even ordered another to take to-go). So rich and creamy, and the Parmesan crust was so good! Don't skip the bacon. I will def be back on my next trip, and we'll be a little more adventurous with the menu next time! Also! They go above and beyond for service. Instead of telling me they were out of bacon, they sent someone to the store to get some for my Mac and cheese. Now, that is awesome quality service!

Mac and cheese - DELICIOUS and comes with toasted bread. Truffle fries in the background.

Conveniently located in the Cabo San Lucas marina, right outside the mall, Common Table was a welcome break from all the very rich seafood and traditional Mexican fare we had been eating all week during our trip to Cabo. The bread that they brought was warm and delicious, and a very nice appetizer. I had the mac and cheese which was the favorite of the table, and other orders in my party included a burger, a flatbread pizza, and an order of crab cakes. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, but the crab cakes were quite small, and we got an order of truffle fries for the table that tasted more like regular fries. Those were pretty much the only minor issues we had - not a big enough deal to complain about, but be forewarned that's the case when ordering those two items. Minus one star for the extremely slow service - despite being one of two tables being served, it felt like it took forever to even get our drink orders in, and by the time they came our food was practically ready. Otherwise, Common Table is a unique spot in Cabo if you're looking for a more modern menu and lighter food in general.

On the patio and it is Christmas week.  Marina is all decorated for the holidays

Everything I read before we came here was enticing. At first we were not sure about it because over the years many of the Marina restaurants were barely decent, but we decided to try this one based on all the great Yelp reviews. I am very happy we did! Fresh local and organic ingredients for all menu selections. Huge cocktail menu and a pretty good wine and beer selection. I ordered the fresh sea bass, grilled and it was fantastic. I have to say that after eating fresh fish every day while in Cabo, this was by far the freshest and best prepared. Definitely a talented chef in the kitchen. Hubby had the burger with blue cheese on a fresh cheddar cheese bun. The burger was cooked perfectly, had great flavor and was organic and grass fed beef. The French fries are the best in Cabo, no doubt about it! Give Common Table a try, especially if you consider yourself a "foodie". You will be happy you did! Oh, and they have a nice patio overlooking the marina.

Cocktails / Spirits on point! Ordered a salad, it was excellent. They brought us bread (2 kinds) with butter & a side of lentils and we went nuts on it - sooooo fantastic! Burger was good, not the best I ever had and for some reason there was shaved carrots in it which I think was in the greens mix which threw me off, so minus 1 point but presentation excellent.

Steak and chicken tacos on homemade tortillas...so good!
Kristen L.

So glad we ate here! The staff were so friendly. The food was wonderful...and fresh. I never had guacamole served with pork rinds before and it was delicious! The tacos were tasty and loved the homemade tortillas....you can really taste the difference.

Jose G.

This place has the best Carne Asada and Fish Tacos in the Cabo San Lucas Marina. The chips and salsa are also very good. Along with you your order, you get a trio of salsa, mild (tasty), Medium (also tasty) and hot (very tasty, but oooh hot!). Loved the Mojito too!! Thank you Manuel for the great service!!!

Mari A.

This was one of my favorite taco places in Cabos. The guacamole was fresh and came with pork skins. The salsa was kind of spicy but very good. They have a pretty good selection of drinks.

grilled octopus. GET THIS IT'S AMAZING
Jennifer L.

Came here after a long day of fishing. My husband and I had the Mezcalinda and a pineapple margarita. Drinks are strong and fruity and well balanced. We shared the focaccia, ceviche, the grilled octopus, and the squid ink pasta. Everything was so good! Focaccia came with tomatoes, and was served warm. Ceviche was in an avocado sauce and had fish, shrimp, and octopus, and was served with tostadas drizzled with sesame oil. The grilled octopus was my favorite out of everything. It was cooked so well and the char flavor really came through. The pasta was rich and was served with poached prawns. Our server, Pepe, surprised us with a key lime pie cheesecake dessert on the house. It was light and refreshing. We sat outside and it made for good people watching. The rest of the menu looked amazing and I can't wait to go back and try something new!

We happened to stumble to Common Table by happenstance after leaving medrano beach. The place had excellent service and the food was to die for. I do not normally give a place 5 stars but this place has earn it. The staff and the owner were so attentive and took the time to craft our meal and desserts. The Mofongo is not your traditional dish, the twist in green and sweet plantain combination made my taste buds scream with delight. The Gorgonzola cheesecake was amazing!!! Kudos to Miguel!!!

Tuna sashimi with pineapple and jalapeño. Amazingly delicious
Arthur K.

Hands down one of the best restaurant experiences ever. If you're in Cabo and would like to experience amazing food or just an amazing restaurant experience overall I highly recommend this place. Impeccable service, food and views. Not enough stars to rate how incredible everything is.

The seafood was incredibly fresh--easily some of the best we've had. Every bite tasted like it came straight from the ocean that day. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly made and refreshing, pairing so well with the food. What really stood out, though, was the service. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. You can tell they take pride in what they do. If you're on the fence like we were, take the recommendation and go--you won't regret it!

Beautiful atmosphere with lights, plenty of tables, and clean bathrooms. The seafood is so fresh! We ordered the crab meat tostada, aguichiles, ceviche, grilled octopus dinner, garlic shrimp dinner, and fresh grilled fish (Acapulco style) for 2. The dinner plates cakes with a side of rice and steamed mixed vegetables. Everything was so fresh, delicious, tender, and so flavorful. As a group, we couldn't come to a consensus on what each of our favorite dish was. We each had our own favorite. Crab meat was sweet, garlic shrimp was buttery, grilled octopus was so tender, aguichiles was so citrusy... I can go on and on. Ask for fresh tortillas. Also don't skip their margarita. Strong, citrusy, and generous serving. They accept USD or pesos. Also strolling musicians will come by your table asking to play a song. Some will tell you the price up front others will expect a tip at the end.

Mariscos La Palmita -- Incredible Seafood, Local Favorite & Amazing Value…read more This place came highly recommended, and after visiting, I totally understand why. The restaurant was packed with locals when we went -- always a great sign. Cash only, so come prepared. What We Ordered Chocolate Clams (Cooked) You can choose raw or cooked -- I went with cooked and it was delicious. Very fresh, no fishy smell at all. One thing to note: every seafood dish comes topped with garlic. I'm not a fan of garlic and didn't know ahead of time, so I rinsed it off with hot water -- still amazing. Calamari Fresh, tender, and very well cooked. Seafood Special Combination Fish and squid were excellent. Lobster and shrimp were okay, nothing too special compared to the others. Price & Value The prices here are unbelievably cheap. * 6 chocolate clams = 285 pesos * Waldorf restaurant: 2 clams for $48 USD * Another place we tried: 2 clams for 340 pesos After eating around Cabo, this place clearly stood out for both quality and price. We couldn't even finish everything and packed leftovers back to the hotel. Total bill for all dishes: around $100 USD -- incredible. Overall Huge portions, super fresh seafood, local vibes, and unbeatable value. If you're anywhere near Cabo San Lucas, this spot is a must-visit.

Cash only establishment…read more Really liked the fish ceviche - very fresh and it is quite a large portion. Complimentary chips and salsa. I should have written down what kind of chips they buy, because they were tasty. Very crunchy and really nice corn and toasty flavor. Frozen margarita had really good flavor too. For the mango one, it had mango puree for a base, which I think was much nicer than just flavored water. Garlic grilled shrimp plate was tasty. Shrimp enchilada was ok, but not really what I was expecting. Guess we've been eating Americanized enchiladas this whole time. This dish was a warmed tortilla topped with small shrimp, tomato, and bell peppers.

The evening we dined here it was raining, and while that is normally not significant, Roasted is partially open-air with the middle of the restaurant having no cover, so the rain was pouring in and effectively closed 60% of the place. When we arrived, the hostess and owner were apologetic and offered to rebook us, but we aren't quitters and a little rain does hurt us...but they also had a table near the entrance that was covered, so we decided to take it and enjoy our evening. Best decision ever! We started our evening off with a few cocktails paired with shrimp ceviche, queso fundido with chorizo, guacamole and an assortment of salsas. Once we ate through all this goodness, we tossed in our main courses of short rib, octopus, imperial shrimp and tampequena's. Finally we rounded out our meal with a few desserts consisting of cheesecake, chocolate flan and key lime pie! Everything was cooked to perfection, plated beautifully and absolutely delectable from first to last bite! The tampequena was my order and consisted of flank steak sided with a chile relleno and quesadilla...all of my favorite things as one meal? Sign me up! The desserts were delightful with all of us non-flan people being converted after trying the chocolate flan! Ownership put the desserts and a round of tequila shots on the house due to rain, which is more than they had to do. We were beyond thankful and appreciative. Service was phenomenal as well. Our server, the hostess, owner and food runners were all engaged, friendly and helpful. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous! The lit tree in the middle of the restaurant is a centerpiece and a perfect anchor to the decor and vibe. Overall, Roasted was one of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time, and definitely the best one we had while in Cabo. Do yourself a favor and come here! We definitely know we will be back!

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!
