    Al pastor taco
    Steven L.

    Came upon this place by a recommendation. Very nice waiters. Food was excellent. Will we come back?? Definitely the next time we are on a cruise here.

    My fiance and I have been visiting Cabo for a couple years and we thought we had found our favorite hole-in-the-wall taco spot, that is until we stumbled across Las Guacamayas this last trip. The restaurant is relatively large in comparison to many other taco spots in the downtown core and has a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The entire staff was friendly both (yes, we went back again!) times and was frequently checking on us to make sure we didn't need anything. We didn't order any drinks here, but they do have a full bar and a pretty decent list of margaritas. Both times we ordered the same tacos, carne asada, chorizo and chicken for my fiance and shrimp for me. While the food is ready in a matter of minutes, it is anything but fast food. With the kitchen being next to the dining area, you can watch the cooks craft by hand the tortillas, which makes a world of difference. While some other taco spots have a more robust offering of accompaniments for the tacos, this spot hits a home run with the flavor. The meat is cooked perfectly and can stand on its own, but the salsas and pico give the perfect lift. Like many places in Cabo, this is a blink and miss it kind of restaurant, but don't make that mistake! Definitely give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

    Huitlecoche Quesadilla
    Roland H.

    Loved it. Around the corner from our hotel so we popped in several times; for lunch, for appetizers or just for drinks. Excellent margaritas, good prices on tequila and solid mexican comfort food. The mushroom queso and Huitlecoche quesadilla were outstanding. Service was great. Fun vibe.

    Visiting the area and this place came highly recommended by locals. It did not disappoint! The location is a mood! Beautiful decor and you can see the cooking in action just steps away from the tables. The smell is amazing. The food was really authentic! I went with a big group so we got a little bit of everything. The mixed drinks and agua frescas were also tasty. Employees were all so attentive, food and drinks came out quickly. They made sure to check in with us too. A must try!

    Steak and chicken tacos

    Pretty awesome place to get some Mexican food. The decor of this place is pretty cool and colorful. There was a lot of flies and bugs flying around but they had little fly repellent fans. Food was yummy and decent priced. We had steak and chicken tacos. Also ordered a shrimp ceviche, which was pretty good in size. They had two sauce trays with everything you need for your meal. For our drinks we went for a horchata, yummy, and a mocha frappe. Service was great and accommodating, we were also offered table side music if we wanted. Definitely would come here again, great place to get decent Mexican food.

    Really good authentic Mexican spot near the marina/downtown Cabo San Lucas! The decor is really colorful and exciting. Amazing frozen margaritas, and you know we had to order a round of ice cold Mexican cokes in a bottle for the table (iykyk!!!) We ordered the melted cheese with chorizo and flour tortillas to start, and it was bubbling hot and really delicious! For entrees, our table ordered surf and turf fajitas, a chicken burrito, chile relleno, and a selection of tacos. All were super tasty and authentic. Service was a bit slow, but that seemed to be the norm for many places we visited on our trip to Cabo. Would definitely recommend for live music and authentic Mexican food!

    BIG margarita!!!
    Peter I.

    Always a fun stop and the good is different than just tacos and burritos. Victor was very good but got very busy at the end with a rush of tables. Stuffed potatoes were good as usual and the stone bowls are huge and packed with whatever you choose. Skinny margarita was on point and wine list ok for Cabo. We prefer the San Jose location and the reason for the 4 stars is the amount of pirates (sales guys) milling throughout the restaurant. Very very annoying but nothing to do but close the gates. Never going to happen. All in all, a fun stop downtown.

    Sauces and toppings and Newman

    It was lunchtime so I looked on Yelp for recommendations. We were just around the corner from a five star establishment so that's where we went. Unfortunately, it was just a bar, no food available. We asked one of the servers where to get good tacos. He said Las Guacamayas. Wow was he right!! Guacamayas has plenty of tables on two levels and we were seated immediately in an open courtyard. We were handed a very extensive drink menu and then a food menu. Two large sectioned trays were placed in front of us. They contained various salsas and toppings. We wanted to ask for chips but the severs were running around so much that we couldn't get anyone's attention. The hubs and our friends opted for tacos and I ordered the combo stone bowl. I chose three meats (I chose chicken, pork shoulder and flank steak). Long, thin strips of meat, chunks of cheese and slices of cactus and avocado came layered in a stone pot. It was literally boiling and continued boiling for quite awhile. It also came with a basket of warm tortillas. To say this was a wonderful dish is an understatement. It was unique. It was delicious. It was large enough for all four of us to share. I'd get this again in a heartbeat. Everyone else's tacos were really good too. Everyone did agree, though, that they'd get the bowl next time. The guys had a beer and I had a house margarita. It was just right - not too sweet, just a little tart. Our service did get better and the manager came by several times to check on us. Our check was right around $50 USD - very reasonable especially for the quantity and quality of our food. I definitely recommend Las Guacamayas. We're only in Cabo a couple more days but I think we may be back!

    Ceviches with mixed seafood - octopus, shrimp, fish, etc. Should've taken a photo of the menu.
    Christina S.

    Went here a couple times while in Cabo! The ceviches were fresh! The stuffed potatoes with steak was !!! Took a pic but wasn't the best shot! Live music playing both nights we went! The sauces are all delicious!!! I didn't give it a five because the waiter seamed preoccupied when taking our orders one of the nights. The ambience is a nice outdoor patio area.

    Service great Ambience was jumping Entertainment was lively. The food was great and at such great prices. The marinated pork tacos are a must. So much better than volcanoes. Highly recommend will not be disappointed

    Cute place friendly staff but the food was blahhhh. The seafood Stone bowl was very disappointing. The octopus and shrimp was good but the fish no bueno and mixture of seafood in the middle was bland, no amount of hot sauced made it better.

    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.

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.

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!

It was just me and my husband, but there were quite a few larger groups dining while we were here. The service is wonderful. We had two main waiters, both of whom were kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The cocktails and the wine we ordered were wonderful. I really loved the cocktail we ordered! Our dining experience was nice, but the food we ordered was just okay. I wouldn't call it some of the best of Cabo. Of our six dinners in Cabo, I would say it was probably our second to least favorite. But, that's not saying it was bad! It just wasn't on par with the other restaurants we dined at. First, I told the restaurant both when I made the reservation and when two different people at the restaurant inquired about food restrictions that I could not have cheese. The first thing served to us - an amuse bouche - was heavy on the cheese. It was a rather large ravioli, which was much larger than a normal amuse bouche -- and it had cheese inside the ravioli, a cheesy sauce, and cheese grated on top. So I could not eat a bite of it. My husband said it was just okay. The best thing we ordered here was the aguachile. It was beautiful, colorful, artfully presented, and absolutely delicious. So fresh, and well prepared. Loved it! Our main courses, however, were a little disappointing. They tasted fine, but ate more like the kind of main course you would order at a chain Italian restaurant in the US: heavy, chewy, and generic. But my personal saddest moment was when the churros arrived. I love churros, so very much. These looked beautiful, but when my husband and I cut into ours, they were all raw on the inside. So the flavor outside was delicious but we couldn't eat more than the ends of the churros. Overall, I enjoyed the experience of dining at Casa Martin... I just wish the food was better. I am hoping it was just an off night, and I look forward to revisiting this restaurant on a future visit to Cabo and hopefully having a better meal (but the aguachile was seriously so good - order that!).
