    AVOID! Horrible Management! I am a Certified Top 1% TripAdvisor Pro and also leaving a bad review there too. We were a Party of 13 and they made us climb tiny stairs to the second floor whilst the entire restaurant was empty on a Friday night. That should have been the first sign to avoid this place. The assigned 2 waiters to 1 table and both didn't speak English. We ordered a blended Pina Colada and they wouldn't understand. Are you kidding me? Next, we placed orders and they got 4 of the 13 orders wrong. For example, our son eats his burger plain. They brought it with cheese after about 30 minutes on a night with no other customers. We complained. Then, the manager comes and raises his voice with us saying we said "with cheese." Okay buddy, we have been ordering our food the same way for many years. Just accept your mistake and re-make; but he raises his voice and gets aggressive. BEWARE! Avoid! We ordered Tecate Regular and they brought Tecate Light. Then they get upset and raised their voices to us. Not acceptable. They would not accept fault in messing up the orders yet the manager had the tenacity to raise his voice and yell at our party. We advised our AirBNB host to advise all guests to avoid this place as well.

    Really good mango margaritas!! The food was so so. It wasn't mind blowing but it was quick and all the waiters are very nice. I'm not sure if we would come back to eat but at night it looked pretty packed so maybe we'll stop by to check out the bar scene. The view is nice as you're directly across the street from the ocean but on a hot summer's day, even in the shade it's still pretty miserable bc the whole place is outdoors. We were sweating and wish there had been more fans on us but it was a very fast meal. Super sweet staff, it's always helpful to know a few words of Spanish (of course you really should since you're in Mexico & you better know at least a few simple sentences!!) but even so the waiter knew some English as well.

    Tailhunter-- Delicioso!

    This place was recommended to us and boy did we appreciate it! Jill and Jonathan are sweethearts. They make you feel welcome right away. The food is phenomenal! The fish tacos were so good be went back the next night for more! Great live music on the second night. If you're in La Paz you don't want to miss this gem!

    Keep in mind, the restaurant is closed on Wednesdays (like most restaurants in the area). Our first experience at La Paz was enhanced by Tailhunter's owner, Jonathan. Free tequila shots on our first night in La Paz - what a grand welcome! It felt like we were welcomed in a family environment at Tailhunter's! We enjoyed the live country music. Food was tasty! We had yellowtail sashimi and our server recommended tacos with fish Al mojo de ajo. The seafood was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Our margaritas and micheladas were inundated with plenty of alcohol. We had such a great time with Jonathan as our host. My husband and nephew also had fishing trips reserved with Jonathan's company and they caught 12+ species of fish! Jonathan's crew was so hard working packing the gear and their lunches/breakfasts. His crew made sure my family had a great time. I'm looking forward to the next time we're here. We are going to have his crew cook the fish they caught for us. Will save money to book next year's trip. Jonathan will set up our hotel accommodations, fishing trips, etc. thanks for an amazing time!

    It would get a 5 but the food service is sloooooowwwwwww. Fun spot, but get here at least 1.5 hours before you really want to start eating.

    This was a good restaurant. The food was good. Large portions and tasty. A variety of Mexican, seafood and hamburgers. Service was good. The drinks were good but not strong. The really great thing about this place is the view. Come at sunset and drink it in. Unfortunately it has to compete with the many televisions in the place. I would have preferred there abscene.

    More reliable than my local meteorologist.

    OSKAR!!! Best server EVER!!! Tailhunter is a good place to go to get just regular Mexican food and watch American football. We came here for dinner on my first night in La Paz. There are a lot of stairs to get up to the bar, but the decor is fun. My carne asada tacos were delightful. I did wish they came with more beans and rice, though. On a second visit, I got a burger that had teriyaki sauce on it. I gobbled up half of it with fries. (I was super hungry). The view from the top deck is great. Very chill place to have food and drinks. Thank you for your hospitality, Oskar.

    Jonathan's amazing Poke Bowl! And when it's your fresh catch, it's so gratifying!

    With the unbelievable vista over looking the Malecon in La Paz, Tailhunter never disappoints! If you're a family who is ready to enjoy your fresh caught fish, or simply a passer by you NEED to treat yourself to a fun and casual experience here! What they can do with fish that was swimming that very morning is unbelievable! Mexican meets a bit of Hawaii here! Even if you don't like fish, there's plenty of options, from burgers to tacos, and beyond! DO NOT FORGET THE FLAN!! Friendly staff, and information on La Paz is available always! Plenty of sports on TV's spread around for the sports addicts like myself too! (If you're interested!) Don't like sports, watch the AMAZING sunsets from the balcony! Can't wait to get back next year!!

    I have no idea what these guys are doing and I don't think they do either. Big meh on the food and a big WTF on the service.

    I went to LaPaz last week for a fishing trip. The charter service included four nights at local…read morerestaurants as part of our package. They did not skimp on which ones they picked and always put their best foot forward. The highlight of these dinners was the El Mequite. I have not normally associated Mexican dining with great beef, but this place rivals any place I've been (e.g. Manny's in MN, etc.). And, by USA standards, it is very very reasonably priced. We had drinks and the shrimp appetizer to start off with. One platter was good for our party of five. We are all "retirement age" but peppy enough to go after game fish in the Sea of Cortez, so we carry an appetite. The shrimp were plump and not overcooked at all. They were served in a rich sauce as shown in the photo. Yum! We then went on to the main course, which was two platters of Chateaubriand. Each platter is meant for two people, but locals told us that the dual platters would easily serve the five of us. They were right! The pounds of center cut tenderloin and the accompanying vegetables and baked potatoes were more than enough for us after the appetizer and a couple drinks. It was delicious and we ate to discomfort. The dessert was flan and this was tasty and cooked fresh on premises that day. Great stuff! Service was perfectly attentive and, although there is not a lot of English spoken here, there is enough that us gringos were able to easily communicate what we wanted. When you are in LaPaz, this is the place if you are a meat eater!

    wow! great food and wonderful people. service was outstanding and a cute place! Tucked away from…read morethe tourist crowd, if you get a burger bring your appetite or a friend to share! The for two was amazing were fantastic!
