    This is worth the trek to get to! We walked from the cruise ship terminal to Isabel and we were not disappointed!! Sure an uber would have been easier, but we thought it would be closer than it was. Everything about Isabel made us happy! The service, the drinks and all of the food...amazing!! Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I did a little happy dance at the first sip of my paloma, first dip of my chip and guacamole and definitely with my first bites of the tacos!!! Super cute little spot on a corner, only a handful of tables. Possible for large groups but might take up majority of the space, unless their upstairs patio is useable - which we did not explore. I bet the views are great! We have been dreaming and talking about Isabel since we left! Highly recommend!!

    I felt like steak and ordered the flank steak, veggies and beans and chips for $27. Steak was good but the carrots were still hard. They had a saxophone player that night. Service was friendly, a quaint little restaurant walking distance to our hotel. Nothing to write home about.

    Great service! It was very welcoming to have live music and the owners actively engaged. My mother in law loved the mahi mahi. Next time, I'll have a drink on the rooftop.

    Super cute and quint restaurant! The owner was there and made sure everything was perfect. There was live music playing and it was the best guacamole we had in Cabo! Definitely will stop here next time we are in town!

    We came here 7 years ago and loved it! We came back today and we're not disappointed! I had the shrimp enchiladas with red sauce and my husband had the flank steak. Both dishes were amazing! We will be back again for sure. David, who I think might be the owner, was super nice and we had great service.

    Cutest little restaurant. Live music, excellent staff and really inexpensive. We had a lovely Easter brunch here and will definitely be going back! Everything was delicious

    My $40 shrimp entree with 6 proves of shrimp. Felt more like an appetizer than an entree.

    Ok, I feel bad giving this place 3 stars because the service was SO good, and I want to support small local businesses, but I have to leave an honest review. This place was 5 stars on Yelp, and after reading the reviews, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, other than their reviews exceptional customer service, the food fell a little flat, due to lack of flavor, and mainly because for that you get, I felt like the food was way overpriced. For context, I had just stayed, and dined at, the restaurants at a luxury resort (Garza Blanca), for 4 days, before I came here, and I thought because this place was away from the marina (therefore, less touristy), the prices would be lower and the food would be more authentic. I ordered a crab soup that was on the menu (and it's my fault for not looking at prices when I ordered everything), and for $14, which is crazy for a small bowl of soup, with hardly any crab in it, and just heavy on the cream, it's way too much. I ordered a chicken and vegetable, clear broth soup, for my son, that was recommended and off the menu (so I didn't know how much it was), and that also was $14! Luckily, my son really liked the soup, but it was still overpriced. Even at the resort I stayed at, soups weren't that expensive. For my main, I ordered the shrimp scampi, and the server was nice enough to make it a half and half, so I can try the scampi version and the Mexican style, with chili and mushrooms (which I liked better, flavor wise), but for like $40 something dollars, you get only 6 pieces of shrimp, a small side of steamed veggies (like 6 pieces) and a tiny scoop of rice and like a sprinkle of fry coleslaw mix. That's outrageous. I would I've rather ordered the whole snapper for that price. Again, my fault for not checking prices, but that's ridiculous. Even in the states, they don't charge that much for 6 pieces of shrimp, slathered in a pool of butter and so bland in flavor that I needed to salt it and use hot sauce to give it some flavor. The people that left all these reviews saying that the scampi was really good must have really bland taste buds. Or, maybe the chef just under seasoned my dish that day. Either way, I was going to go back for breakfast, because I was initially so excited about this place and because the servers were so nice, but after my dinner experience, and how much my meal came out to, I didn't end up going back again.

    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.

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.

Proper Mexican mole the kind built from dried chiles, nuts, seeds, and even a whisper of chocolate thick, dark, mysterious stuff that tastes like it took a committee of grandmothers three days to invent. I took one bite and nearly wrote home about it. Rich, smoky, a little sweet... the sort of sauce that makes a man pause mid-chew and reconsider every sauce he has ever trusted before. Then the tacos arrived, and that's when things got serious. These weren't tidy little tacos meant for polite company. No sir. These were the kind where the juice runs down your hands and you stop worrying about manners because flavor has taken command of the ship. La Lupita is known around Cabo for its creative tacos and massive mezcal selection, and judging by the crowd and the music humming through the place, folks already know the secret. The staff goes the extra mile with every little detail, and before long you realize you didn't just stop for tacos you discovered a whole new method of happiness, served on a tortilla.

We were recommended this place by our hotel (ME Hotel), so we came in with high expectations.

The place itself does not have a high-end vibe or atmosphere, so the pricing just didn't match the experience at all. The service was nice, I'll give them that, but the food did not justify the cost. I've had way better tacos for way less. And trust me, I've had a lot of tacos in my lifetime. It honestly feels like this place is taking advantage of tourists with these prices.

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!
