About

Los Nava Barbacoa de Barrio sits in the El Tezal neighborhood of Cabo San Lucas, off the Transpeninsular highway. It's a cheap-eats spot with a single perfect review, which tells you more about who finds it than how many people have tried it. The focus is barbacoa — slow-cooked meat done neighborhood-style, the kind of place where locals stop for weekend breakfast or a weekday taco run. The location next to El Ameyal keeps it off the marina circuit, which works in its favor if you're after something that doesn't adjust the seasoning for tourists. Expect straightforward prep, small portions priced accordingly, and a setup that prioritizes the food over the atmosphere. One review isn't a statistically meaningful sample, but a 5/5 at this price point usually means someone's doing one thing well and sticking to it.

Tours & things to do nearby

Arch of Cabo San Lucas

The Arch sits at the southern tip of the Baja peninsula, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. You reach it by water taxi from the marina or Médano Beach — most people do a quick loop, snap photos, and head back. The 4.8 rating across nearly 9,000 reviews reflects what it is: a reliable postcard moment, no tricks. The rock formation marks Land's End, and depending on the tide, you'll see sea lion colonies on the rocks and sometimes pelicans stacked on the outcroppings. Water taxis run constantly during daylight hours, and some will drop you at Lover's Beach on the Cortez side if you want to wade. The Pacific side (Divorce Beach) has a serious undertow — people look, they don't swim. It's the thing everyone does once. Go early or late to dodge the midday boat clusters. The ride out takes ten minutes, you get your shot, and you're done. If you skip it, you'll end up seeing it from every other boat trip anyway.

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.

All Ways Cabo Transportation

All Ways Cabo Transportation runs airport pickups and private transfers around the Los Cabos corridor. The 5-star rating across more than 4,300 reviews suggests consistent execution on something simple: drivers show up on time, vehicles are clean, and you don't haggle at baggage claim. They're based in El Tezal, just inland from Cabo San Lucas, which keeps them close to the airport run. The volume of feedback points to reliable logistics — useful when you're coordinating flights, resort check-ins, or day trips between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Private transport here cuts out the shuttle wait and the shared-van detours. You book in advance, someone meets you with a sign, and you're moving. If your group has gear, golf clubs, or you're just not interested in figuring out taxi rates after a flight, this is the straightforward option.

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.

Grand Solmar Land's End Resort & Spa

Grand Solmar Land's End sits at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula in Cabo San Lucas, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. The location rating of 4.9 reflects the reality — you're at the edge of everything, with direct views of the Arch and genuinely private beach access that most Cabo resorts can't offer. The rooms also pull 4.9, and the cleanliness score matches it, which is rare at scale. With over 6,400 reviews holding at 4.8 overall, the service consistency is real. The value score of 4.6 suggests it's priced above mid-tier but doesn't lean into the ultra-luxury premium some neighbors charge. Worth noting: you're on the Pacific side, so the swimming conditions depend on the day. The resort shuttle into downtown Cabo runs regularly if you want the marina scene, but most guests stay put.

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.

Cabo San Lucas

Sandos Finisterra

Sandos Finisterra sits on the cliffs where the marina meets Land's End in Cabo San Lucas, and the location rating backs it up — you're looking straight at the arch and the Pacific convergence. The 8,700-plus reviews and 4.6 overall put it in solid territory for mid-tier travelers who want proximity over polish. Service and cleanliness both land at 4.5, which means things run consistently; rooms and sleep quality come in a notch lower at 4.1 and 4.3, so adjust expectations accordingly. The value score at 4.3 suggests you're paying for the spot and the setup, not luxury finishes. It's family-friendly, the pools sprawl, and you can walk to the marina boardwalk in five minutes. If you want the postcard view without the price tag of the ultra-tier resorts down the coast, this delivers. Just know the bones are older and the rooms show it.

Bar Esquina Los Cabos

Bar Esquina sits on El Médano beach in Cabo San Lucas, right where the sand meets the foot traffic. It's a corner spot that pulls double duty as a daytime beach bar and a proper dinner destination after sunset. The 4.8 atmosphere rating makes sense once you're there — you're basically on the sand with unobstructed water views and string lights overhead. The kitchen turns out solid Mexican and seafood plates that hold up against the 4.6 food score, and service moves at the same clip. It's priced mid-range, which for beachfront in Cabo means you're paying for location but not getting gouged. The value rating of 4.3 suggests people feel it's fair for what you get. Come for lunch with wet hair or stay through dinner — it works either way. The place fills up during high season, so timing matters if you want a table with a view.

Cabo San Lucas

Cabo Wabo Cantina

Cabo Wabo Cantina sits on Guerrero in the middle of downtown Cabo San Lucas, and you're here because everyone comes through at least once. Sammy Hagar opened it in the '90s and the rock-and-tequila brand stuck—it's loud, crowded, and there's usually a live band. The 4/5 rating across 6,000+ reviews is remarkably consistent: atmosphere wins (4.1), service holds steady (4.0), food trails a bit (3.9), and value lags (3.4), which tracks with mid-range pricing in a tourist zone. The menu is standard Tex-Mex—tacos, fajitas, nachos—but no one pretends this is a destination meal. You come for the scene, maybe the house tequila, and the fact that it's open late when most of the marina shuts down. If you want quiet or authenticity, keep walking. If you want predictable fun and don't mind paying for the name, it does what it says.
