I ordered the Enchiladas De Mole (chicken) They were perfect, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the Mole was the best I have ever had. The margarita was the best I have ever had in Mexico, and I have had a few (my only regret was that I couldn't buy the ceramic cup it came in, They should sell them, they would make a ton of money on doing that). The Lo mejor de lo mejor (piece de resistance) was recommended by the waiter, FLAN for desert, it was PHENOMINAL. I would go back to Cabo strictly to eat dinner at Los Tres Gallos!!!!

Extremely friendly and attentive staff with expert knowledge of the menu and fabulous suggestions. What we ordered: - Peruvian Ceviche (fresh catch of the day) - Shrimp Chipotle - El Takeshi - Al pastor in fried cheese shell - Bone Marrow taco was hands down thee best! My mouth is watering just recalling the melt in your mouth, buttery deliciousness of the marrow sitting on top. Loved the salsa sampler they brought to the table. The depths of flavor and heat were a fabulous compliment to the food. I've seen mixed reviews about La Lupita. I happen to agree with the most positive recounts. Every single staff member from the host to the waiters to the other servers walking around were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall A+ experience. Drinks and food were delicious. And we truly enjoyed ourselves. Will be back on a return trip!

Our hotel booked a reservation for us and we were seated immediately upon arriving at the restaurant. At nighttime, the surrounding greenery plus the hanging lanterns gives the place a unique vibe that's perfect for a date night. We tried the two mocktails on their drink menu (Baja Roots and Tropical Berries) and both were very tasty; I especially loved the Baja Roots drink because it was the perfect level of sweetness for me! My husband enjoyed the Tropical Berries drink as someone who loves berries. For the food, we got the shrimp pastor tacos to start, and then we shared the grilled octopus and short rib pappardelle. Out of these items, the shrimp pastor tacos were my #1 favorite! These tacos were packed with flavor and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Both of the main entrees were also great, and the portions here are very generous. I was definitely stuffed when we left Casa Martin :D On top of everything we ordered, the staff brought out a complimentary small bite for us (tuna tartare on wonton crisp tostada) which was so kind!

The dining area is partially outdoors, and it was sprinkling that evening. We ordered a fajita plate and a molcajete, and the food tasted good--we practically finished everything. The service was great, and the staff checked in on us regularly. Unfortunately, later that night we experienced food poisoning. We're not sure what caused it--possibly the salsa that had been sitting out during the rain--but it was hard to ignore. I'll leave it at that. It may have been a one-off situation, but I'm unsure if we'd return. If we do come back to Cabo and decide to try this place again and get sick a second time, that would be the final straw.

Immediately, you are in the indigenous space, injected with culture, music, ambiance, the staff, even the air takes you to where you really should be. From the get go, the service was spectacular. The salsas arrived immediately after I was seated. Yes, one of them was the habanero. Tostadas instead of chips, were in a sealed plastic commercial bag. They were crisp, flavorful and tasty. I wanted to try three different tacos, seafood of course, so I took a mix of fried fish, a grilled fish and then a shrimp. It came with rice and I asked for beans which interestingly, came in a glass bowl that you would use for a mini ice cream sundae. Fresh, flavorful, soupy, just the way I like it. The rice was kind of sweet. Everything from start to finish was perfect. What a wonderful and unforgettable, lunch experience.

It's hard to pay attention when every vendor is inviting you in to sample their wares, but we felt this one was worth stopping to read the menu. A friendly gentleman showed us the menu and gave us a coupon for free drinks ( with a minimum order). As we were not hungry at the moment, and more window shopping was required to build up out appetite, we took the coupon and continued on our quest to find a necklace for a pendant my wife has. An hour or so later, after finding the necklace she was wanting, it was time to reward our grumbling stomach with some much needed nourishment. We had looked at other establishments along the way, but the promise of fresh caught fish was what reeled us in. After re-reading the menu, we decided to go light instead of overeating and split the ceviche and to tacos. A generous portion of ceviche was cooked perfectly in citrus and then drained and shaped into a thick round stack. Served with house made chips and saltine crackers, it was more than enough for us, but I wanted to try a couple of tacos as well. One Sea Bass and one octopus, on a flour tortilla, again, to wears cooked and seasoned well and we enjoyed them both as well. I jacked that I could eat a half dozen of each!
