Guac
ALice A.

El Mexicano makes some AWESOME guac right in front of you! It was delicious!!! I would highly recommend ordering the Tamale Casserole and their catch of the day. The fish was amazing prepped and had enough seasoning that wasnt overbearing. You could still taste the sweetness of the fish. The shrimp tacos werent good at all so I will just avoid those all together. If you want to drink soda, make sure you ask for canned soda instead. Their fountain soda is crap.. this applies to all of the restaurants in the resort.

My creation @ the seafood buffet. Thanks Cesar!

This is one of the many restaurants at the All-inclusive resort Grande Fiesta American. On Friday night it was Seafood Night. That meant there was a very large seafood buffet with lots of hot and cold options to choose from. It was cool because I was really hungry but I was truly in the mood for Mexican food. I ended up having the chef fix me a made to order pasta dish w/shrimp, corn, onions, jalapenos, tomatoes and a few other things I can't remember. It was cooked right there on the spot and fresh. The desserts were yummy also. I'm not really sure if EVERY Friday night is seafood night but I recommend you give them a try. Oh yea, the service was good too!!!

Premium steak
Mike C.

Really good food and service. The steak on the premium menu is over 2" thick and was cooked perfectly. The deserts are really good.

Fresh guacamole

First night here at Fiesta Americana in Cabo. It's amazing! We had dinner here at this restaurant on our first night. Excellent service and food! Very impressed! Definitely order the guacamole made fresh table side.

Bone marrow was delicious. Fried octopus was really good too. Servers Victoria and bartender Angel are make the guests feel welcomed.

Los Tres Gallos - Strip steak was fire 5/5

I'll tell you right now if you're anywhere near Cabo and you skip Los Tres Gallos, you messed up…read more This place sits right in downtown but once you walk inside boom beautiful courtyard, lights hanging everywhere, and a mariachi band that doesn't just play music... they attack your table with joy. I'm talking the kind of band that makes you want to order another margarita just so you can clap along like you suddenly grew up in Guadalajara. And the food? Real-deal Mexican classics mole, enchiladas, chile rellenos big flavors coming out of a kitchen that knows what it's doing. Now let's talk about the chips and salsa, because I didn't come here to play games. Some restaurants give you chips like they're doing you a favor three chips and a little salsa like it's a museum sample. Not here. These chips show up ready to party. Crunchy, warm, and the salsa hits you like, "Hola amigo, welcome to flavor." Add the incredible service and that mariachi band floating through the courtyard and suddenly dinner turns into a whole event. Honestly, this place was one of the highlights of my Cabo trip and my socks? Yeah... they're still somewhere on the floor from those chips and salsa.

Environment was nice up until the flies swarm your food and staff does nothing about it!…read more Happened on 2026-04-12 at 6pm, lovely evening, the restaurant has a nice environment and food came out quick. But that was the end of the positive things as a swarm of flies quickly came to eat the food. Trying to swat them away helped a bit but there was way too many of them. I eventually flagged a waiter down, and he shrugged at the flies. A minute later some candle flame thing came out saying that it will help with the flies but already that was too late as flies were all over the food and I lost my appetite at that point. It was disgusting. I just got up and left. Went to cashier to pay my bill. The cashier also shrugged at my fly incident, and I asked how much it was going to be. Full price. No consideration about bad operating environment and since they knew about the fly issue they didnt setup before food was served to control it better. Even after bringing it up again in detail, she shrugged again. No sorry or anything, just a brush off. Then to make it even worse she asked if I wanted to tip the service. I was in there for a few minutes, staff didnt help quickly or even pre-empt the fly issue, and I'm being asked to pay full price. Sorry but no thanks. How did this place get on the Michelin list? Service poor. Environment poor. Zero or negative star rating for me.

We were craving a big Mexican style breakfast and after searching for a few hours on Yelp and…read moreTripadvisor this place came out on top. We took a taxi to this resort and while there asked how much this place was for a night in the hotel with all inclusive. They said it ranged from $350-500/night. Ouch! This place is a bit far from all of the action in Cabo San Lucas. Don't think I would want to stay so far away from all of the activities and fun, especially the arches. Anyway back to breakfast, we got to the counter and there were 4 hostesses running around in a confused manner with no organization whatsoever. There were people in front of us waiting to be put on the list, and after about 20 minutes we were finally seated. The server asked me what I wanted to drink? So I told him I wanted Mexican hot chocolate. He looked at me like I was speaking Chinese, so I pulled it up on Google and showed it to him. Strange that a Cabo native has never heard of Mexican hot chocolate, it is served in most places in the city restaurants of Cabo. Anyway we proceeded to the buffet and noticed a lot of the popular items weren't being replenished. I came back 4 different times to check and still the same empty plates remained. Food was decent, service was good, the price was only $20/per person. Do not think I would return as the places downtown were much better than this place just didn't have that large of a selection.

We wanted some authentic mexican food and tacos while we were in the Marina area of Cabo. This…read moreplace did NOT disappoint. They bring you out a tray full of different toppings and sauces (careful one of the green ones is quite spicey). The service was good and the food was better. This place is cash only so I'd encourage you to make sure you have some $$$ on hand (they did accept USD). The reason for the 4 star vs. 5 star is due to the restroom situation. I don't know how this restroom compares to the other restaraunts in the area, but its two small bathrooms and a sink outside. The sink you have to touch a little knob underneath which doesn't seem the most sanitary...but at least they have a bathroom and some soap. We would go again for sure.

Recently stopped by Tacos Guss during one of our cruise port days and ended up having some of the…read morebest tacos I've ever had. We found it recommended online and were so glad we did. The space is small, but we were seated right away. We ordered carne asada, al pastor, and pescado tacos, plus a Bohemia beer, all for just $20 USD. While we waited, our waiter brought out chips with multiple salsa options ranging from mild to absolutely eye-watering, along with a full platter of taco toppings, which we didn't use. The moment I took my first bite, I knew this would be a regular stop if we're ever back in the area. The meat was tender, incredibly flavorful, and tasted fresh off the grill. Everything paired perfectly with the salsas and an ice-cold beer. Super glad we found this gem within walking distance of the pier, and this is one of those spots that'll stick with us long after our trip ended.
