Oyster Rockefeller 10/10
Lauren R.

This place is amazing. I visited 3 years ago and have not stopped thinking of it since. The food is absolutely amazing. Tuna carpaccio is 11/10. Super fresh and flavorful. Shrimp pasta was a very flavorful Alfredo with shrimp cooked to perfection. The oyster Rockefeller were amazing and my mom and I don't care for oysters at all. We ordered 2 orders! The wait staff is so attentive and sweet. Additionally, the ambiance was very lovely. Music curation was perfect and the sound and temperature were perfect- a note my mom wanted to me mention since she's very particular about both!

Catch of the day Marea style
Tammy E.

This little diamond in the rough offered the best casual seafood meal in the entire Cabo/SJD region. It was the final meal we chose on our last day in town, and we all agreed it was the surprise standout restaurant conveniently located in a little shopping center just outside of the hotel zone. There was surfing on the TV in this very spacious and open dining room - it had a very casual dining vibe, but the dishes were on par with places that look much fancier in and around town. Dad wasn't feeling great, but we convinced him to come out for the last night -- he was so glad he decided to come with us, and the food here brought him life! My favorite beverage of the entire trip was the coconut/horchata here. I've had great horchata before, and I love coconut, so it is no wonder I loved their combination of the two! The smoked tuna appetizer was also something that surprised us all - generous in portion and completely unique to anything else we've ever had. The seafood soup was akin to the flavor in a seafood pan roast and was generously full of fresh pieces of fish, shrimp, and octopus. I was very pleased with the Chilean Seabass mom and I both ordered. It was so fresh, flaky, and came in a garlic chili oil sauce that I sopped every bit of rice up with. The service here was great, and we made a reservation just to be on the safe side. It wasn't busy on a weeknight, but they are open pretty late - I imagine once word gets out, this place is going to be very busy! It is certainly worth the short trek over from where the hotels are. We walked back after a very satisfying meal. I cannot recommend this place enough. Had we discovered it earlier I would probably have eaten here every day.

Farmed Totoaba Rosemary style
Renelle W.

I decided to venture outside the hotel I was staying at to enjoy some local cuisine. Located in a shopping plaza, La Marea is wonderful option. The prices are reasonable. The food, fantastic! The drinks, well-made! We only had seafood dishes and both the tuna and the Totoaba were fresh, well seasoned and cooked well! The portion sizes were appreciated too. You get chips and salsa on the house to start and it was delicious. Check-in on Yelp and the table gets ONE free glass of Santos cocktail, which is so refreshing! Unfortunately, only one person on the table can redeem the free cocktail. It is a casual dining spot so you don't have to overdress. It is worth trying if you are in the area.

I love the purse rack too! Amazing place!

Fabulous food, great atmosphere, music and attentive service! This is a gem of a restaurant!

Sea bass with chili
Krista P.

I really enjoyed this restaurant! It was so much cheaper than those in town and had excellent food. It was a short walk up the street from where we stayed and wasn't busy at all. The octopus ajillo tacos were insanely good! The best I've had. My friends also got a large fillet of sea bass. The price for that was really good for the size. Would definitely come back again. Very friendly and safe location.

AL MEUNIER PULPO.

Check in for a free beer or cocktail! This place was recommended by a foodie, Marilyn, thank you cousin! This place is cute upon arrival, a mural of a map along with a comfy tan leather couch and cute décor. I ordered the "Shipowner's Eggs" Scrambled eggs with green tomato cilantro sauce and tuna chorizo served with refried beans. It was delicious along with my free mezcal berry cocktail. My husband ordered the "Chilaquiles Del Diego" Crunchy baked tortilla strips, cooked in red sauce with cilantro, cream and panela cheese with pork beans made in house. He loved it so much he devoured every single bite. Thank you, Marilyn for a great recommendation!

Fried Tuna and San Jose Del Cabo's most popular tour guide, Rav.
Troy K.

We stopped by this place for lunch. It is in a little shopping center with some other restaurants. Immediately greeted upon entry. Staff was incredibly nice, and attentive. We ordered a couple drinks and browsed through the menu. My Cadillac margarita was just OK. We Decided to split the deep fried tuna and "Mexico's best nachos", which we added steak to. Food was a little slow, but not too bad. The view and ambiance made the wait worth it. They also serve super salty chips and a small scoop of pico while you wait. (More pico please). Food arrived. Nachos looked "saucy" and the fried tuna looked like bits of Spam. I was dying to try the tuna and found myself very underwhelmed. Dry. Chewy. Think it was just bits of fish that couldn't be used elsewhere, so they toss it in a fryer and call it an appetizer. The nachos? Well, they claim to have Mexico's best nachos. It's a good thing they didn't say worlds best, cuz every country would sue them. I guess you can say anything in mexico. The steak was delicious. No doubt. The guac was good too. But the whole plate was a glop of cheese underneath. They were good nachos, but I have had better in Mexico. Overall, this was 3.5 stars. But it just isn't 4 stars. I'd come back, but I'm not in a rush to.

I went here for breakfast, and the beef machaca was excellent. The portions of tortillas beans cheese meat and roasted peppers were perfect.

My wife and I found this spot many years ago while visiting San Jose Del Cabo and it is still there! Brought the family for breakfast this last trip and it was delicious. They also have a good selection of some local Tequila's which is a plus.

Seafood Pasta with Tomato Sauce
Peter L.

We come to La Marea every time we visit Los Cabos and this is our forth time enjoying a great meal at this restaurant. The restaurant is modern, clean and air conditioned!! I always enjoy their excellent signature cocktail, Santos. My wife had the Seafood Pasta with Tomato sauce which had excellent flavor with very fresh and meaty shrimps and octopus. I had the Grilled Octopus which was slightly on the rubbery side for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I will sure to visit La Marea again when I return to Los Cabos next time.

Octopus!
Bob M.

It's all about choices. Garlic octopus wow. Fried octopus fair. Big salads. Soup could have more zest. Great chips. The other pastas looked super. I thing they could've gone spicier but cater to tourists. They were clean. Also watched bartender inspect wine glasses before use! Don't see that much. Kudos.

Shrimp with Pasta
Andrea D.

Whenever we go to Cabo we have to go to La Marea! It is an amazing local spot that is beautifully decorated and feels kind of fancy but the prices are write on par. The food never misses! My favorite has to be the tuna tartare. This is definitely a must! Nothing is ever bad here and we have almost tried the entire menu. The seafood is incredibly fresh and the seasoning is extremely flavorful without being salty. I recommend getting the pepino juice as well! The flan was okay but not amazing. It wasn't to sweet which is always a plus. If you are ever traveling to Cabo make the trip to La Marea!! You will not be disappointed!

Wow! What a great experience we had at La Lupita Taco and Mezcal…read more This is a taco place. Don't expect any else on the menu except soup & salad and a couple of apps & sides. There is an indoor area or outside courtyard you can choose from. We had the pleasure of working with several Staff members including our main waiter, Marco as well as Ivan and Miriam. They were all so fun and attentive. They brought us a small serving of soup as an appetizer. My husband had a taste of the tortilla broth which had a little kick to it and I had the bean soup. Both were a nice sampling of the soup they offered. We ordered the chips & huac to start. The chips were thick and crispy. The guacamole tasted super fresh and bright. Now, the tacos are some of the best tacos we've ever eaten in MX or the US. The creativity and variety of toppings were outstanding. I really enjoyed the EL TAKESHI 190MX Rib Eye, Sesame, Hoisin, Ginger, Chives, Crispy Shallots, Flour tortilla. The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavor they developed was delicious. I also ordered the MEXICAN FLANK STEAK $150MX. Fresh Chiapas Cheese , Arugula, Crispy Leek & Potato, Macha Sauce, Yellow Corn tortillas. All these flavors worked so well together. One of the tastiest tacos they have on the menu is a cheese based tortilla taco called CHEESE CRUST PASTOR $100MX. Talk about a flavor bomb. Marinated Pork, Asadero Cheese Crust, Cilantro, Onion, Pineapple. My husband also ordered the CHIPOTLE SHRIMP $165MX. Shrimp, Chipotle Cream, fried parsley, flour tortilla. He loved it. For my Arizona friends, they will be opening a Scottsdale location in 2027. I can wait. Add this to your must try restaurants. Also, they just opened a location in Dallas Texas.

From the moment we walked in, the…read moreatmosphere was lively and inviting -- colorful décor, upbeat music, and that perfect blend of locals and visitors that tells you you're in the right place. It has that energetic taco-bar vibe people rave about, but still feels relaxed enough to really enjoy your meal. We started with the guacamole and it was excellent -- fresh, bright, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made to order. A great way to kick things off. For tacos, everything we tried was outstanding. The cheese shell al pastor was next level -- crispy, savory, and indulgent in the best way. The pastor had that smoky-sweet flavor people always mention in reviews, with just the right char. The miso fish taco was a surprise standout -- super flavorful, slightly sweet and umami-forward, and perfectly cooked. The milanesa taco had great crunch and seasoning, and the chipotle shrimp packed just the right amount of smoky heat without overpowering the shrimp. You can tell why so many reviews mention the creativity here -- these aren't just standard street tacos. The flavor combinations are bold and unique while still feeling authentically Baja. Service was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. Drinks were great, the energy was fun without being overwhelming, and the whole experience felt memorable. If you're in San José del Cabo and want elevated tacos in a vibrant setting, La Lupita is a must.

Acre absolutely blew us away. My biggest recommendation: arrive at least an hour before your…read morereservation to wander the property and meet the animals. The grounds are stunning -- peaceful, lush, and effortlessly cool -- with the perfect balance of elevated resort vibes and warmth. What makes it even more special is that Acre also operates an animal rescue, helping save dogs from the streets and even arranging adoptions around the world. We legitimately almost adopted one while we were there. The entire culinary concept is organic farm-to-table, and you can truly taste the difference in every dish. Everything felt intentional, fresh, and incredibly well executed. Food highlights: - The mixed beet salad was hands down the best beet salad I've ever had in my life. - The crispy rice bites are a must order. - The catch-of-the-day ceviche with soaked jicama and green apple was phenomenal and one of the most unique, well-balanced ceviche preparations I've ever had. - Steak tacos were fantastic. - The tomato tartare with fresh and sun-dried tomatoes, light aioli, and crackers completely surprised us -- insanely flavorful and memorable. Cocktails were equally impressive: - Sips & Beets (my fav. I love beets & I love mezcal. Didn't think they would go, but had to try. It's outstanding!) - Margarita independente was my other fav - Guayabita - Espresso martini made with tequila And beyond the food, the hospitality was next level. Executive Chef David personally stopped by our table, chatted with us, and after noticing me taking photos, gifted me one of the dried decorative corns from the property. Such a thoughtful, genuine touch that perfectly reflects the spirit of Acre. This was one of those rare dining experiences that feels magical from beginning to end. We'll absolutely be back (this will become a spot we visit every trip to cabo!)

There's also a cute boutique infront of the restaurant. The service was exceptional. Big shoutout to David and Asia! Dinner and drinks were both phenomenal. We loved it so much we want to plan a trip to come back and stay in one of the treehouses. The entire place was just magical. I would highly recommend coming an hour before your reservation to walk around and visit the animals! There's horses, chickens, bunnies, dogs, cats, goats, etc! Seriously the best part of the trip. PS. Order an espresso martini! They make it table-side. Pairs nicely with the frozen key lime pie. Don't know how they do it but the crust is nice and chilly and the lime custard inside is soft. 10/10.
