    This place has been recommended to me several time both a couple different people - and I now know why. Nice place (under a large palapa) and the night we stopped in they had a singer starting at 7pm. Drinks we just OK, but I tried their dirty martini and it was a bad choice! I followed up with a cold hibiscus tea with vodka and loved it. Tacos were amazing and the chips and salsa was equally delicious. Definitely order the home made guacamole. My personal recommendation is the riblet taco - great flavor, but you can't go wrong on any of the taco choices.

    Edder our server was awesome!!

    Great food, great staff, and great setting. Meat quality was great, everything was fresh and on point, the beverages were good. The overall meal was delicious and the fresh watermelon juice was crazy. Will definitely be back.

    Tucked away on a side street in San Jose del Cabo, this is a jewel. From the moment you're welcomed in until you walk out it's the vibe you craze down here. Smiles everywhere and then the chip platter arrives and it's WOW to the end. Guac? Outrageous Stuffed baked potato with pastor, a great combo of flavors and Deb's stone bowl just is huge and fantastic. Then you see a basket and think "why not?" and its the best flour tortilla you've ever eaten. Jasmine took such great care of us i had to take a picture with her and the whole wonderful staff joined in. Best night you can have in San Jose!!! Yelp it, go eat, drink and laugh.

    Amazing selection!

    Hand down one of my old time favorite places in San Jose. This place has grown so much from the time we use to come here long time back. The locals now figured out this gem and you can never go wrong with this place. Food is always amazing and very flavorful. The people working provide great service and always on top of things. The ambiance at night is more enjoyable with the live music that starts later into the evening.

    Dranks!

    Not sure if I am reviewing the same location, but since it's likely owned by the same people, wanted to say this review is for the San Jose Del Cabo restaurant. Everything about this restaurant was great. We came close to closing time on a Sunday so it was pretty dead, but I can see how busy and lively this place can be on a Friday or Saturday night. Service was great, the food was really good, and drinks tasty. The only thing I'd say is check your bill. They didn't overcharge us but since I had an idea of what the bill would be in USD, I was shocked to see it was about $20 USD more. After talking to the waitress, she explained that paying in pesos is cheaper at the current 20 pesos per dollar rate. If you pay with a credit card, their exchange is 15 pesos per dollar. That said, we had enough to pay in pesos and took them up on that offer. You may not care but $20 USD is three drinks in Cabo. I had no problem with them determining the exchange rate as it is their restaurant, but I think it should be mentioned or there should be a sign, as most places do offer that info upon arrival. Would definitely return!

    Stuffed combination potatoe

    One of my favorites when in San Jose Del Cabo. Little off the beaten path but worth the walk or cab ride. Rolled cheese, stuffed potato and pastor tacos are a MUST! You won't be disappointed!

    Another 5* so yummy so good meal! Eddie did a great job!! Great live singer on a Thursday night after the art walk. On special request Eddie made it happen..... Ed Sheeran Perfect song in English and Spanish wow amazing!! Really fabulous! Food was incredible and spicy margaritas were so great.

    Seafood Molcajete
    Daniel L.

    This place was recommended by no less than a handful of locals while in Cabo. Stepping into the restaurant, you know you're in a good spot when the amount of tourists is almost nil. Seafood items is where they shine, anything with fish/shrimp/octopus!

    Live acoustic music
    Gordon Y.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 This festive open air restaurant certainly draw in a mix of locals and tourists. The live acoustic music was a nice touch too. On a warm night, with a little breeze, it's a pretty good place to grab some food and drinks. Sitting near the Al Pastor carving station, we enjoyed a nice show whenever someone ordered this item. The server would blast the flames and shave the pork for the tacos. Lastly, with a flick of the wrist, a piece of pineapple from the top of the spit would come flying down onto the plate, perfectly landing on the tacos. This was an absolute delight to watch. As for the food, the previously mentioned Al Pastor Tacos were quite delicious. Another interesting dish was the No Que No (Didn't You Say No), which was a cheesy concoction of poblano peppers, skirt steak, and pork shoulder (though I am pretty sure it was pork chop because of the bone that was included). Popped a little bit of everything into a chewy tortilla, add a little hot sauce and fresh salsa ... ... mmm so good. Chicharron de Queso (Thin Rolled Up Fried Cheese) was also an interesting appetizer, though quite filling. However, we did not enjoy the Pata de Res (Cow's Foot Tostada) because you can't really taste it like in a Menudo. Another fail was the Molcajete (combination of meats, cheese & vegetables), which was our least favorite item and most expensive. Luckily, our last bite of the meal was their Churros with four dipping sauces. Crunchy and airy, these were the best version we had on the trip. For that reason alone, we'll likely be back next time in Cabo.

    Great margaritas (get tajin salt instead of regular... you're welcome!)
    Cindy D.

    The guacamayas in San Jose is WAY better than the Cabo location. It's always filled with a mix of locals and tourists. The pastor tacos with extra pineapple are incredible and their stuffed potatoes are killer as well. Ask your server for meat recommendations but we love the flank steak on top. Service is generally pretty good, just depends on how busy they are. Ambiance is really fun here as well, most of the time they have live music of some sort. Great little find, put it on your list.

    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.

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.

He guided us through the wine selections with care and expertise and was hands-on throughout the reception--circulating among guests, refilling glasses, and making sure everyone felt taken care of (perhaps a little too well, in the best way). The execution of the wedding was flawless. Everything we envisioned and described was brought to life exactly as we had hoped--if not better. Dinner was a dream: a long, elegant table set beneath the passion fruit vines, surrounded by the sounds and scents of the farm and garden. The reception under the stars felt intimate and enchanting. Mariana recommended soft lighting along the path to the restrooms so guests could move safely and comfortably--a small detail that speaks volumes about the level of care. She even set them up for us as we brought some beautiful Luminary bags from the states - guests loved this touch. Our guests could not stop praising the venue's natural beauty. The smells of the garden, the warmth of the farm, and the effortless elegance of the setting made the evening unforgettable. Dancing all night in the banana grove is a memory we will carry with us forever. The vibe was natural and authentic, unlike some other venues that seem commercial - so this fit us perfectly.

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?
