Fruit and muffin for breakfast
Nuran S.

We stayed at hotel tesoro for five days four nights and got the all inclusive package... This was one of the restaurants that was included. we ate here a few times that week and overall liked it a lot. This also seems to be a tourist favorite, especially with the cruise people! We regularly got la cart breakfast at the lighthouse restaurant since the hotel buffet wasn't the best. Breakfast was yummy and I really liked the atmosphere here. They had the birria tacos for breakfast and those were so delicious. I almost ordered them everyday but had to try the omelet and chilaquiles as well. I would stay stick to order the Mexican dishes, they were made well and had a lot more flavor and freshness than the regular American dishes. Everything comes well done. Specify if you want something cooked rare. They like it crispy here! Service is slow here. they usually only have two female waitresses. Not all the employees speak English so touch up on your Spanish! Covid protocols were enforced and all of the staff wore masks.

We went there for a Drinks and Snacks while we touring downtown Cabo Wobo! It was delicious and the ambiance is Great

Fruit platter

Since breakfast is included with our hotel stay at Tesoro, we decided to check out the LightHouse while we were here. The first time we dined here, we shared the Sarten Tesoro, chilaquiles, and some fruit. We were afraid that the food would take too long since we needed to go on a tour, but it was ready just in time to have a few bites. Both dishes were delightful and filling! The fruit was refreshing as well. Service was very friendly! I'm not sure what it is about Cabo, but we always got treated like VIP's and the staff always wanted a photo with us. Needless to say, we kept coming back to try more breakfast items during the rest of our stay.

Caprice salad with shrimp. Yum

Okay, we are on an all exclusive but Samantha aim to please. The jumbo shrimp wastn't included but she did a great job making my meal memeranle and delicious Unfortunately be careful we did get charged for stuff we didn't order, such a shame..

Baja Shrimp tacos!

This restaurant service is 5/5. The waiter was so funny and made sure we received the best service. When my mom was in the sun they moved a whole entire umbrella for her to not get sun burnt. This to mean meant a lot because it shows they care about their guest comfort. The food was yummy! I went to this restaurant twice while in Cabo's! I got the pasta and shrimp tacos! So yummy! Their drinks are also super good!

Stumbled on this spot walking the Marina! All I can say is wow....great dining experience on vacation. The dynamite shrimp are amazing! The Baja fish tacos were a great entree for a light lunch.

Our first night at Cabo San Lucas we wanted to try this restaurant. It was next to our hotel. Service was super slow. It took about 20 minutes to order and took another 40 minutes to get fajitas and burger. They forgot to bring water, spices and stuff. Each time we had to wait for 20 minutes to get the stuff we asked for. Taste of the food was not really good either. I was between 2 and 3 stars. Giving 3 because stuff was nice and atmosphere of the restaurant was good. I don't think I will go and eat there again.

Great anbiance during the day, perfect spot on the Cabo Marina
Guillermo F.

Just loved the new menu! There isn"t t a single dish that is not near perfect. Very original too, the gourmet tacos, the eggplant lasagna, the tamarind bbq ribs, and ohhh the hibiscus crusted fish fillet over creamy rice is amazing, the desserts, and even the Caesar sakad we ordered is unique, the prices by far are the lowest in all of the Cabo marina . Live music on the weekends, great singer on friday and rock band on Saturday.

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.

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.

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.

The food was honestly mid. I will say the esquites were really good, but let's be real, that's a…read morehard dish to mess up. We were recommended this place by our hotel (ME Hotel), so we came in with high expectations. What we ordered: *Two esquites *Two tacos *Beans *Two micheladas *One spicy margarita Our total came out to $150, which completely shocked me. 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 food came out cold and they overcharged us and we had to wait for an English speaking manager to come and fix the problem. I know that we're visitors but this is a well known establishment that has tourists visiting all the time, which was part of the reason why we visited the restaurant. But, we were seated pretty quick, but it still took approximately 20 minutes to take our drink order. Which were just a couple of buckets of beer. It took another 20 minutes for the server to take our food order. It then took another 30 minutes for the cold tacos to arrive. Like I said, plenty of staff holding up the wall and walking around and also plenty of empty tables. But then they over charged us and we had to wait another 30 minutes for an English speaking manager to show up to fix the issue, even though we had fluent Spanish speakers in our group. You know that I don't particularly like leaving a bad review but I don't care if it's in a different country or not. Bad service and bad food are universal issues. The place is located in the heart of the walking area in the marina and they were always busy whenever we walked by in the past. Maybe we picked a bad day.

I find it one of the best ways to satiate my need for variety. When looking around for taco shops in Cabo, I found 1 & Only thru TripAdvisor. I wasn't aware, but this is a very small mom and pop type taco shop. We actually ordered one of each taco, so we were able to sample them all. They only have a few tables outside. We were the only ones here, so no problem grabbing a seat. All the tacos were fresh and delish. The fish and shrimp were crispy, the pork and beef smokey. They also have us chips and three different salsas. I actually ordered the passionfruit margarita, but got the tamarind one instead. It was waaay too sweet for me, so I didn't bother asking for a new one as I figured it would probably be too sweet as well. Very cute small taco shop. Definitely worth checking out for a snack.

Mexican locals say this is the spot. Just a short walk from most of the fancy resorts.

It's a bit of a walk from the pier, but still within a comfortable tourist-friendly distance. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, and not long after, a line started forming, so timing worked in our favor. The restaurant is fully outdoors under a covered roof, so be prepared for the heat. The menu is limited and posted on the wall without prices, which made me a little nervous about potential tourist upcharges. Still, we decided to go for it and ordered al pastor and birria tacos with cheese, plus a Pacifico beer. While we waited, our waitress brought out a platter of taco toppings along with consommé. When the food arrived, it instantly became a highlight of our trip. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the consommé and toppings. The chili oil paste on the table was no joke and seriously eye-watering. A couple things to note: there are no restrooms or sinks, so we relied on our wet wipes and hand sanitizer. Our total for six tacos and a beer came out to $30 USD, which was a bit higher than expected, and I do wish there had been clearer pricing. That said, it was an authentic, memorable experience and one I'm really glad we checked out.

There was some real competition for top meal, but this one ran away with it. It is a little up the hill and slightly off the main tourist path from downtown Cabo, but still totally walkable and well worth the effort. And if you can plan ahead, go on a Monday. That is when they offer the Molcajete special, which is reason enough on its own to visit. I also heard their steak night is fantastic, so you really cannot go wrong. The space itself is beautiful. The dining room feels polished and inviting, and there is also a charming outdoor area if you prefer fresh air over AC. We kicked things off with the tableside guac, which was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want to start a meal. Even better, they brought out a complimentary little starter first, which is one of my absolute favorite restaurant traditions. In this case it was two mini empanadas, one mushroom and one cheese. Truly a Sophie's choice situation because both were excellent - hubby and I split them in half. For the main event, we split the Molcajete Monday special. You can choose your protein, and we went with steak, though chicken and (I think) shrimp were also options. It came with both corn and flour tortillas if you ask nicely, all housemade. The portion was easily enough for two. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly, sitting in a smoky, slightly spicy sauce in a traditional volcanic stone bowl. Absolutely delicious and one of those dishes you keep talking about long after the meal ends- and much to my travel companions dismay, I talked about it for many days after... Even though we were completely stuffed, I had already seen photos of the flan and could not skip it. We ordered that along with churros to share among four people. Do yourself a favor and skip the churros-- The towering flan is the star. Everyone at the table agreed it was the best we have ever had. A nearby table ordered the crème brûlée and looked genuinely jealous once they saw ours arrive. For what felt like a splurge night, the final bill was surprisingly reasonable, especially compared to US city prices. When you split dishes like we did, it feels like an incredible value for the quality. Treat yourself to this place. And if at all possible, go on a Monday. We almost went back a second time, which says everything. Bathrooms are also lovely, and there is an open kitchen. Service was great too. Treat yo-self!!!
