La Porteña is a $$ argentine & steakhouse casual restaurant in Cabo San Lucas rated 5.0/5 by 2 TripAdvisor reviewers; walk-ins welcome.

About

La Porteña sits near the intersection of Avenida Los Cabos and San Borja in Cabo San Lucas, and it's running a perfect 5-out-of-5 across the board — food, value, service — though the two-review count means it's still early days. That kind of clean sweep is rare enough to note, especially when value scores as high as the food itself. The name points to Argentine roots, which usually means beef done right and a wine list that leans South American. Perfect scores on service suggest someone's paying attention to the details, and the value rating means you're not paying resort prices for the privilege. Two reviews isn't a large sample, but when they both land at perfect marks, it's worth a look if you're in the area. Just know you're catching it before the word spreads.

Tours & things to do nearby

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours operates from F Dock in the Cabo San Lucas marina, and the 5 out of 5 rating across nearly 6,000 reviews puts them in rare territory. Most charter operations in Cabo cluster around 4.5 stars — this one doesn't. The volume matters as much as the score. Five thousand reviews means hundreds of boats went out, came back, and enough people felt compelled to say something that the average held. That's consistency at scale, which is harder to fake than a handful of perfect scores. Whether it's the crew, the boat condition, or how they handle rough days, something's working. They run fishing charters and tours from the marina, which is the standard launching point for anything heading into the Sea of Cortez or around the arch. If you're comparing operators, this is one where the data actually separates from the pack.

Solmar Spa Collection

Solmar Spa Collection operates out of Marina Centro in Cabo San Lucas, right where the tourist corridor meets downtown. The 5-out-of-5 rating across 3,215 reviews is unusually consistent for a spa at this volume — most places crack under that much feedback, but the score holds. That suggests process, not just a couple of good therapists. The collection format means you're booking treatments across multiple Solmar properties, which gives you options if you're staying elsewhere or want a specific modality. The review count also tells you they move a lot of people through without the rating collapsing, so appointment availability tends to be better than boutique spots that book out weeks ahead. If you want a spa day in Cabo and don't need it to feel undiscovered, this is the reliable pick. Just know you're in a high-capacity operation — it's polished, not intimate.

Eliker Transfer Cabo Transportation

Eliker Transfer Cabo Transportation runs airport shuttles and private transfers in Cabo San Lucas, operating out of El Caribe neighborhood. The 5-star rating across nearly 3,000 reviews is unusually consistent for ground transport — most services in this category hover closer to 4 stars once volume picks up. That suggests the basics get handled: drivers show up, vehicles are clean, routes are direct. The review count puts this among the most-used transport options in Cabo, which means you're not betting on a one-truck operation. Private transfers typically beat shared shuttles on convenience, especially if your hotel is outside the main hotel zone, but expect to pay the difference. Airport pickup coordination matters more here than in cities with rail or rideshare saturation — confirm your flight details and have a backup contact number saved offline.

Salvatore G's Italian Restaurant

Salvatore G's is an Italian spot in downtown Cabo San Lucas, a few blocks off the main strip. The food rating sits at 4.8 out of 5, which is unusually high for a tourist-heavy area — the kitchen clearly isn't coasting. Pasta comes out right, the portions are honest, and the pricing lands in the mid-range without feeling like a gouge. Service also clocks in at 4.8, meaning the staff moves and the pacing works. The atmosphere rating matches the rest at 4.7, so it's not trying to be a scene — just a solid Italian dinner without the resort markup. Over 4,400 reviews and the scores hold steady, which suggests consistency more than novelty. If you want red sauce and a booth in Cabo without overthinking it, this does the job.

Maro's Shrimp House

Maro's Shrimp House is on Calle Miguel Hidalgo in Cabo San Lucas, across from La Dolce. The menu does what the name says — shrimp, prepared about a dozen ways, from garlic and butter to breaded and spicy. The operation is efficient and the portions are generous, which explains the 4.6 on both food and value across more than five thousand reviews. Service runs at 4.7, so the staff keeps pace even when it's full. The atmosphere sits at 4.4, which is fair — this is a working shrimp house, not a scene. You come for the food. The kitchen moves fast, the plates are consistent, and the price point makes it easy to return. If you want shrimp in Cabo without the beachfront markup, this is the answer.

Solomon's Landing Restaurant

Solomon's Landing sits inside the El Tesoro Hotel lobby along the marina in Cabo San Lucas, which means you're a short walk from the water and the boat-charter action. The 4.4 rating across more than 3,000 reviews is backed by strong marks in all the right places — food, service, and atmosphere all hit 4.5, and the value score at 4.2 keeps the mid-range pricing honest. People come back, and the numbers show it. The menu leans into seafood, which makes sense given the location, and the kitchen handles volume without dropping quality. Service moves efficiently even when the dining room fills up. The space itself strikes a balance between casual and finished — you can come in from the marina without changing, but it doesn't feel like a poolside grill. If you want marina views and reliable execution without resort-level pricing, this is the straightforward pick. Reservations help during high season, but walk-ins usually work outside peak hours.

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Golf & Spa Resort

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach sits on the Pacific side just north of Cabo San Lucas, perched above a cliff where the ocean runs too rough for swimming but the views make up for it. The resort shuttles guests to a calmer beach club down the coast, and most people seem fine with the trade-off — the 4.5 overall rating across 26,000+ reviews holds steady, with cleanliness scoring highest at 4.6 and service matching the overall mark. It's a large property with a full spa, golf access, and multiple pools that cascade down the hillside. Rooms and sleep quality both land at 4.4, which is solid for a resort at this scale. Value comes in at 4.2, suggesting it's priced where you'd expect for the amenities and location. The Pacific-side setting means sunsets are the main event, and the resort leans into that with terraces and dining spaces angled west. If you want calm water steps from your room, this isn't it. If you want space, service, and a dramatic coastline, it delivers.

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica sits on the Pacific side just north of Cabo San Lucas, and it's adults-only — which is the whole point. The resort pulled an uncommon 4.7 for cleanliness and holds a 4.6 overall across nearly 9,000 reviews, so the operational consistency is real. Rooms and service both land at 4.5, which is solid for a property at this scale; sleep quality tracks the same, meaning the soundproofing and bedding are holding up. The Pacific side means actual surf and bigger waves — not a swimming beach, but the drama is why you're here. The spa setup is central to the property, and most guests either lean into that or spend the day at the pools. Service moves quickly, and the staff-to-guest ratio shows. It's a quieter alternative to the marina-side chaos, and the value rating at 4.3 suggests you're paying a premium but not an absurd one. If you want adults-only with ocean views that aren't sanitized, this works.

Cabo San Lucas

PLAYA GRANDE RESORT

Playa Grande Resort is on Médano Beach in central Cabo San Lucas, steps from the marina and the main strip. The 4.7 location score makes sense — you can walk to most of what people come to Cabo San Lucas for, and the beach here is swimmable, which isn't true everywhere on the Pacific side. The 4.6 overall rating across nearly 9,000 reviews suggests it delivers consistently. Cleanliness matches at 4.7, and service holds at 4.6. Rooms and sleep quality both hit 4.5 or better, which is solid for a beachfront property where noise can be an issue. Value sits at 4.4, fair for the location. This is a resort that works if you want to be in the middle of the action without paying top-tier rates. You're trading some polish for proximity. Médano Beach means jet skis, beach vendors, and restaurant access — it's lively, not secluded.

Rosa Negra Cabo Restaurant

Rosa Negra sits on the Transpeninsular just north of Cabo San Lucas, and the 4.9 rating across 3,000+ reviews tells you it's executing at a level most fine-dining spots never hit. The food scores nearly as high as the atmosphere, which is unusual — usually one eclipses the other. Here the kitchen and the room are both doing the work, and the 4.6 value score suggests you're not just paying for the lighting. The atmosphere rating is perfect, and that tracks with the Latin American theatrical dining Rosa Negra does across its locations — live music, tableside fire, servers who move. It's loud, it's a show, and if you want a quiet anniversary dinner this isn't it. If you want energy and food that holds up under the performance, it works. Fine dining here means you're spending, but the value subrating says people left feeling like the tab made sense.

Cabo San Lucas

La Casa Country

La Casa Country sits in the Marina area near El Médano, which means you're close to the beach action but not fighting the strip traffic. It's a mid-range spot that pulls 945 reviews and holds a 4.6 across the board—food, value, service, and atmosphere all land at 4.5 or better, which suggests they're doing the basics right without leaning on any one trick. The kitchen turns out solid plates without charging resort prices, and the service rating matches the food score, so you're not waiting forever or dealing with indifference. The atmosphere holds its own at 4.5, meaning it's a comfortable place to sit for more than twenty minutes. Nothing fancy, just consistent execution in a category where that actually matters. If you want something dependable near the marina without the markup or the scene, this works. The value score says people feel like they got what they paid for, which is rarer than it should be.
