Best Margaritas on the Beach!
Adrienne O.

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The margaritas are perfection, their service is excellent - Gina was just wonderful- their food is mouthwatering!! The Ambience is the show stopper with turquoise ocean views at all angles! And then after all that, we one of the most amazing massages of my life in their upstairs oceanfront massage Spa. Treat yourself!!

Came here for massages. My group and I found this place online and booked while on our cruise ship in port via the WhatsApp app. We all booked one hour massage. We all agree this was by far one of the best massages we have ever had! Best price too. Bring cash for a tip. You will leave feeling amazing! Elizabeth was my masseuse and she literally worked out so many knots and even cracked my back. Felt so good! Much needed and so appreciated. Would highly recommend when in Cabo.

I really wanted to like this spot for a great massage but it was lacking. First of all it is in a building upstairs from the beach. It is not in the beach as advertised. The price is epic, $51 for a 90 minute massage, but the massage is more similar to my wife rubbing my shoulders. You must change in the bathroom, remove all of your clothes and wrap a towel around yourself then walk through a crowd to get to your table. If together with someone else there is no guarantee that you will be near one another. You are massaged in the open among the other customers and the crowd. Finally you go to a small dressing room, Put your clothes on and are sent in your way. I personally recommend looking elsewhere for a more personalized, private and better massage.

Only 5?

I was yelping a good burger place in Cabo and this place popped up which is right next to our hotel! Great! They also have a massage which was more inexpensive compared to the massage place that we frequent. I could see from my balcony that this place has more customers. The other place said Sand Bar only changes their sheets and towels after serving 5 customers while they change their sheets every visit. I bought it but I don't think that's true. Anyway, back to my food review. The burgers were massive. We also ordered oysters, calamari and fish and chips. Ate on the balcony on the beach with a beautiful full red moon. Service was polite and hospitable. Excellent dinner! Next time we're here, I'm gonna try their massage.

My husband and I booked a 90-minute four-hands massage ($105) for our anniversary. Talk about relaxing and simply heavenly! The ocean breeze and the sound of the waves made it an unforgettable experience. Whenever we visit Cabo, a massage at The Sandbar is always on our itinerary. This was our first time trying a four-hands massage, and wow -- once you try it, you'll never want to go back to just two hands. The massage itself definitely deserves 5 stars. However, I'm giving 3 stars overall because we didn't get the full 90 minutes we paid for. Our appointment was scheduled for 11:00 a.m., and we arrived early at 10:40 a.m. Unbeknownst to us, they started the clock when we checked in at 10:40 a.m. After the massage, I got dressed and checked my watch -- it was 12:09 p.m. That's when I realized we had been shorted on time. When I brought this up, they explained that the session started when we checked in. I really dislike this policy. Even if they counted from 10:40 a.m., it still doesn't add up to a full 90 minutes, especially since 12:09 was after I had already gotten dressed. It was disappointing to feel like we were cheated out of part of the experience. For the quality of the massage, I'd happily give 5 stars, but the time issue is a big letdown -- especially on a special occasion like our anniversary.

Love the view

Stopped in Cabo while on a cruise and researched this place beforehand. Wife and I booked 90 minute massages ($51 each) with a reservation for brunch to follow. Everything was amazing. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent views right on the beach. Highly recommend!

Evening Sand Bar vibes

Love me some Sand Bar!!! Right over the beach, great staff, good food (see below), and they rescue dogs!! The owner has over 100 dogs at his farm he rescues .. at any time there are free roaming dogs special to the owner that he's rescued around the restaurant. You can buy bacon for them at the bar to feed them so they can enjoy and continue to live their best life. At the entrance, there's a place to donate to their dog rescue campaign. can't tell you how much that means to me and how cute these little little dogs are! you have to stop by even if just to feed the dogs bacon, although the octopus appetizer is the best I've ever had!!

Hamburger

Exactly what I come to Cabo for! The authentic seafood, the mezcal drinks, and the by-the-beach table. They also had a beef hamburger for the wifey since she's not too keen on the raw stuff LOL

Be aware! This place is racist!! Our family is Asian and went on 3/25. The service and drink was great, so we decided to come back the next day. However, the second visit was completely different. As soon as we sat on the front row loungers, the server looked unhappy and told us there was a $40 minimum per person. I was like I didn't hear anything about that the day before, but I said okay since we were planning to have lunch anyway. Later, I noticed some white customers sitting in the same area, so I asked if they were told about the minimum. They all said no. When I asked the server why only my family was told, he looked nervous and said he needed to check with the manager. That didn't make sense--if it's a policy, why check? When he came back, he then told the other (white) customers about the $40 minimum, and several of them left right away. It felt like the manager realized they had no choice but to enforce the rule after I questioned it. The whole experience felt very unfair and uncomfortable.

We went to the sandbar to grab some drinks and appetizers before dinner. We were seated right on the beach with a lovely view of the cove. The atmosphere is a fun party vibe, but still good for a date night or family. All of the food was exceptional, and the drinks were good too. I would go back here on my next visit.

Edith's is a magical place. We enjoyed our meal, which started with a vegetarian ceviche because…read moreI'm allergic to shrimp. We only mentioned that I was allergic, and the staff adjusted the appetizer (which was delicious) to my needs. Dinner was fabulous. I got the fish of the day while my non-allergic husband indulged his shrimp obsession. Finally dessert -- a corn tamale which may not sound decadent, but it was. One of the best I've had in quite some time! Worth a splurge! Look, this isn't the Cabo of 20 years ago; prices have gone up because it's a quick flight from uber-expensive California. But the value lies in the ambiance, the service, and the delicious menu. While we were there, a vacationer who has been coming for decades sat down with a party of his friends. The staff was so happy to serve them. They made us feel just as special, particularly when the mariachi serenaded us.

Everyone seems to know about Edith's which is a common tourist spot. The ambiance is beautiful and…read morecolorful inside. A great spot for date night, family gathering, or a celebration. For the best pictures, I recommend going before it gets dark. The service was great. Plenty of servers and wait staff around. The food was overall good but a bit overpriced (about $50-100 per person). I do appreciate how they cook the protein fresh on the grill in front of the restaurant. The food was fresh. They include a complimentary bread plate and vegetarian tostada. I recommend ordering the Caesar salad which comes with a live preparation of the dressing and making of the salad table side. Because it's a tourist trap, be prepared with some cash to tip the performers who go around table to table singing your song of choice. Tip is expected.

Heard about this restaurant from a local and we were very impressed! One of our favorite nicer…read morerestaurants in Cabo. They have a well diverse menu - seafood, steak, pastas, & more and everything we tried was well executed. The surf and turf platter was the hit of the night. Waiter told us it was good for 4 and it was definitely that, with leftovers. We also tried a pasta pomodero and it was yummy with a little kick. The imperial shrimp are a must get if you like shrimp. These are bacon wrapped, jalapeno stuffed. Yum! I would also highly recommend the tampiquena steak - Mexican style steak with a chile relleno. Best starters were queso fundido (MUST GET!) and the caprese was also very fresh! My one draw back was the temperature, but I know that's hard to fix. We came in August and it was very very hot and muggy. But didn't change our thoughts on the restaurant overall. Just something to note.

Because a cousin highly recommended this restaurant, I dined here with my party of 5. Let me set…read morethe atmosphere: low 90s, mid 60% humidity, and flies too numerous to count. While there were fans and a covered dining area, this was no match for the uncomfortable August weather and ubiquitous flies. In the center of the dining area is a beautiful tree, but beware of the birds pooping on your table or worse, your food. To make the best of our situation, Marco and his servers set out table fans and I asked for extra cloth napkins to be placed over our food. Complimentary Bread Rolls with herbed butter Sea & Earth BBQ Ribs Octopus Sea Bass - was not "to die for" as cousin advertised Asparagus Beer Margarita 2 complimentary desserts - cheesecake + gelatin flan over chocolate cake complimentary 5 Perros Tequila shots for everyone While we all enjoyed our food, I wouldn't consider it outstanding and the flies, heat, and humidity made for a miserable experience despite complimentary desserts and Tequila shots. However, service was great and Marco did his best to make the most of our less than stellar experience. Because we had an early 5:30p reservation, we were able to park in front of the restaurant.
