Cabo Wabo Cantina

We went in the afternoon to beat the crowd. My husband is a big Van Halen and Sammy Hagar fan so this was a must for him. He loved all the music memorabilia. He wanted to come back for the band at night but we didn’t have time. Prices are definitely a tourist price but it was a great experience.

Cabo Wabo was on my bucket list and it was worth the wait! Great vibe, friendly staff (Evelyn!), it's impossible to look anywhere in that place without seeing something cool and I really enjoyed the fish tacos for lunch with Red Rocker Lager on tap! Excellent merch, too! We went there twice during our week in Los Cabos.

Jeeze, this place is Rock and roll heaven. If you're a rocker and you're in Cabo you cannot miss this place. Incredible decor and one of the coolest stages of any club in the world. Sammy has done just an amazing job with his brand and making it so much fun for anyone who comes here. Sure the prices are not going to be cheap put the quality of everything makes it so worthwhile. The staff is incredibly well trained and super friendly every time we've come in over the years. I don't drink much alcohol anymore but there are so many cool rock and roll options if you do drink. And if you don't there is a selection of non-alcoholic choices. They have a house fan here that plays every night starting at 8:30 p.m. it's one of the few places that still runs a house band and the music happens seven nights a week. During the day they have smaller acts play in a different area outside and that goes from about 11 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. everyday except Sunday. We've never made it here for Sammy's birthday bash but it's on the bucket list.

We stumbled upon this place walking around Cabo last week Way cool place. We purchased a couple shirts and had lunch & drinks all was great. Only wierd thing is they go through your bsgs and take all drinks at the door so you must purchase from them seems strange but other then tgat we would definitely recommend going here.

Go for the experience, but you probably won’t stay very long. Fun to have a drink or two and listen to music but this is a pretty touristy spot. The drinks are not cheap. Neither is the food fun atmosphere and it’s cool to see all of the Van Halen memorabilia. The staff was nice.

The food was good, the staff were better, the atmosphere was ok. The place could do for a renovation and the menu options are unusual. Again, the food was really good but I'd guess a lot of people would have to try something new for dinner if eating here.

Service Presentation of food The different variety of food with all fresh caught fish. This place is definitely a place to try while in Cabo. Won’t be disappointed. Both the owner and wife are here every day Bonus he is always the Chef. Thanks again for great hospitality and food. We be back.

This was an interesting stop. Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo Cantina has an interesting story behind it, and the concept is cool. I had the ‘Can’t Drive 55’ cocktail which was great. It’s one of those places you visit to say you’ve been there.

I took a cruise a few weeks ago and stopped in at Cabo Wabo for a drink. I am so glad that I did! The service was on point, all the ladies and gents were really hustling, polite and professional. I loved all the music that was playing and the atmosphere was fantastic! I sat in an open air area so there was a light breeze going through and it felt really good! Drinks are a little expensive, but I didn't care, I was more there to say that I had been there, it was on my bucket list! I really enjoyed the short time that I was there, just taking it all in. I saw that they have a gift shop just outside and avoided that. Thankfully Cabo Wabo was only a short walk from the spot that my tour was meeting at. The next time I am in Cabo, I will stay long enough to grab a bite to eat as well, Mexican is my favorite food!

I will start the review by saying I knew what I was getting into before we went. But our group of 8 outvoted me, so here we ended up. A far overpriced tourist trap. We didn't get any food. We did 2 rounds of drinks. 2 of us just got water, but a bill of almost $300??? I hope i later discover that I had a drink from the fountain of youth. What really drew it over the top was after we paid the bill, and a tip of $50 was left for our two rounds of drinks, the waiter lectured and admonished one of the ladies with us and guilted her into leaving a larger tip. I wanted to pull money back and leave less after that stunt but my friend was scared to anger him and get in trouble so she put more money in the sleeve. It was nothing more than a strong arm tactic. Yes, I went but I won't go back and unless it is a bucket list item, there should be no reason for anyone to go there.

Visited last weekend with a group of friends from the San Francisco area, looking for a quick escape from work. The ceviche was excellent--fresh and flavorful--and I'd definitely recommend the food. However, the tequila was priced about the same as back home, so if you're looking to save, I'd suggest bringing your own and sticking to water or soft drinks. One downside: after we paid, our waiter became noticeably rude, insisting on a 20% tip, even though I had already left a $20 bill and that most of our bill came from the overpriced drinks and we only ordered appetizers. It felt out of place for a casual cantina--this isn't a fine dining experience. I've traveled extensively and have never encountered this kind of pressure over tipping, which was disappointing and left a sour note on an otherwise enjoyable meal. Other than that, Cabo was great!

It's a cool place to visit but really really overpriced. Two meals and two waters were like $60 and we didn't even select expensive meals.

Drinks! Food! Vibes! Staff! All were on point and we will be back soon! Unfortunately we didn't stay for the House Band.

Didn't get any food but the drinks were good. Similar pricing to the USA so don't expect any bargains. The live music was great, the place has a cool vibe. Service was very good.

There are always a few things you know or hear about a place before you visit them, for whatever reason or not but one of the things we knew was a thing in Cabo was Cabo Wabo owned by Sammy Hagar. Known to us to be a great bar with music, etc. that is one of the many things on the must do list while in Cabo and yet we found ourselves asking ourselves why? Walking up, the place was larger than most other establishments around the area but wasn't fancy. Ben had actually walked ahead of me so already had a table so I walked in just taking in everything while looking for him at a table and was surprised to be underwhelmed by what I saw. The area we were sitting at would be best described as a semi-covered outside area that needed mist fans to make it even somewhat remotely comfortable, which I understand being that our visit was in July is hot but I didn't think any part would be required to be outside. We didn't have an option when Ben was sat. Service was friendly but not overly attentive to us to see if we wanted another drinks or food until about the time we were ready to leave. We had reviewed the menu but nothing screamed out as something that we should try, especially for the pricing. Sadly this was a big let down for us during our visit.

This is a major tourist trap and the margaritas are not great plus the music is so LOUD and they have karaoke singers at 2 pm. I need more tequila to block out the noise!! Don't come here hung over! Complete waste of time but the store is cute so check that out but don't eat here!!

Went with my dad while on vacation for Father's Day, but we ended up not staying because there is no seating for disabilities. All the chairs and tables are raised and will be challenging for anyone who needs a scooter or wheelchair to use. They told my dad he could eat in his wheel chair with a cardboard tray, which would be a solid 2 feet lower than the rest of us. This was very disappointing for him, as he has made a point of going here every time he's been to Cabo over the last few decades, but now that he has mobility issues I guess he's not actually welcome ‍

One of many Cabo staples When in Cabo you have to come here at least once We came We saw We drank We left lol There was a band singing rock music (English) Drinks were ok Inside is nicely decorated Customer service is nice Decor is well thought out

No trip to Cabo is complete without a trip to Cabo Wabo! Definitely helps if the band is great, and you're with a group of fun friends, or a bunch of fun people are dancing. Drinks used to seem overpriced, but now that all the prices in Cabo have gone up, they seem pretty standard. No cover charge, even Christmas/New Year's week, which is nice. And this time, I left my jacket, and one of the servers went running after me to give it to me, so, definitely bonus points for that. Til next time!

This is an amazing bar that plays live music at night. It is not cheap but worth the stop. Food is really good and worth a happy hour stop.

Dalia and Jesus were great! First stop on our journey and a great choice! Drinks great, food delicious and outdoor patio feel nailed! Great choice!

Enjoying a mai tai and mudslide in Sammy Hagars place. Gotta visit Cabo Wabo when in lis Cabo's!

Attentive staff in a popular American establishment in Mexico. Nothing extraordinary on the menu. Clean restaurant with lively and colorful decor. It's so nice to hear live music. Had some chips, salsa and guacamole with a couple of beers and a mocktail. One of those spots you go to to say "we've been there!"

Okay you know it's a tourist trap, but the Sri is and good are awesome. Live entertainment at night. I love the fajitas. You have to try the Cadillac margarita.

Super touristy and expensive. Good atmosphere. I would say one drink and head elsewhere. Much cheaper options all around.

Cabo Wabo Cantina is a wonderful spot for a drink or a quick bite. The vibrant atmosphere, attentive staff, and the occasional acoustic set by the House Band.

Stopped by Cabo Wabo for a drink before dinner. We missed the live music and crowds because of the time but the drinks were flowing and great. My mojito was amazing and the group loved their spicy blended mango margaritas. Stopped by the gift shop and bought a t-shirt!

Come on, it's Cabo Wabo. You've gotta do it while in Cabo. Went for lunch and the food was good for what it was. Prices compare to the other tourist trap restaurants along the beach. The live band was good. Gift shop merch was kinda pricey, in my opinion.

OK place to stop in if you haven't been before. The last time I was in Cabo, the boat came really early in the morning so it wasn't open, and we didn't want to wait around for it to open. This time, our boat from LA got in in the early afternoon, so was able to stop in for a late lunch around 2. It wasn't too crowded and we were seated right away. Seating is outside, with mist fans fully on to provide some respite from teh heat. There were multiple servers helping us and everyone was super friendly, throughout. The menu is pretty focused for lunch. Happy hour is 7 days a week before 5 pm, and the one drink special is 2 margaritas for $240 MXN. One has choice of classic margarita (no flavors), either on the rocks or frozen. It's a decent deal. We also asked for water, so of course, they gave us two bottled water for $140. - beef fajitas ($420) - it was good. came with 3 flour tortillas, and good toppings. The meat was not the typical flank steak, but was something like round (no fat at all). - shrimp ceviche ($420) - disappointing. it was basically raw white shrimp, decent quality, but it hadn't marinated enough so it was basically still raw. I asked for more limes, and then used it to cover the shrimp...ate it a bit later. The flavor was good, but the quantity was small. It came with good chips and crackers. There were plenty of servers , and we did not feel neglected. One can pay by credit card, and the server is pretty direct in asking what the tip will be, before it is sent through. 20% seemed to satisfy her. The total came out to $92 USD (asked for it to be charged in MXN). I was hoping that because a lot of ex-pats are in Cabo, it would be more than a tourist spot, but it wasn't. Assuming the vibe at night makes up for it.

Huge tourist trap with overpriced food, prices here are comparable to Las Vegas Strip, only saving grace is I do like their coconut shrimp.

My early afternoon visit was disappointing, with very poor service, high prices and loud background music. I'm a Sammy Hagar fan, so I understand the appeal, and I wanted to like this place, but they were severely understaffed, with very long wait times for simple drink orders. The building was separated into several seating areas with a main seating area, bar and stage at the rear. The gift shop was okay, but overall, I'm going with just two stars.

This bar owned by Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony is a hot tourist spot. Being a huge fan of both Hagar and Van Hager, I've been waiting to see this place since OU812 was released!! (Yes, I'm a boomer) So for those that don't know, this is considered a cantina nightclub. You have a small area where you can eat...... Put the big draw is the nightclub which is hopping at night!! Hubby and I walked in at 9:30 am & happy hour was in effect. Obviously I'm going to have a shot of Cabo Wabo tequila, and it was two for one!! It was wonderful fun walking around looking at all the photos of Sammy, Michael and their musician friends. They got a few platinum album awards hanging around there too. It's bright and colorful and fun!! Be sure to stop by when you're in Cabo San Lucas & toast to the Amazing and Welcoming staff..... Even if it's 9:30 a.m!

The drinks had zero tasteable alcohol such a rip off, cool to peak in and see it but not worth spending money at.

The dude and I come to Cabo Wabo in Cabo San Lucas - during our 7 day cruise on 11/16/22. We decided to walk which we felt pretty safe for the most part. GPS led us to this place easily. However proceed with caution as always. Anywho, when we arrived we were greeted immediately by staff and seated outside. It was a very hot day but it was cool since it was morning time. The dudes dream was to come here and it was nice. Nothing on the food menu really appealed to me so I asked for custom nachos and surprised they weren't on the menu and we added chicken. The drink menu is where it's at!! The dude and I both got drinks tribute to Sammy H! The drinks were delicious especially rocking out the band. It was so pleasant. The food came out quick. The nachos were absolutely delicious. They were so good! They put the dressing and toppings on the side. We rocked out to music . Staff was very. Menu is in English and Spanish and pesos along with USA currency. We stayed for about two hours and decided to check out the gift shop. The dude went crazy and both A LOT of stuff for him and his dad. I did see a cute short set but they didn't have my size so I didn't get anything:( they also have little items like cups, coasters and stickers. Overall, we do want to come back! Mostly for the drinks . I enjoyed my time here!

Such a fun night with live music, making new friends and beautiful drinks! I truly believe this is a must see! It had been on my husband's bucket list for a long time and I am super glad he got to check it off.

We were visiting Cabo and haven't been to Cabo Wabo since before the pandemic so thought we would check it out for lunch. The weather was in the 70's so a nice walk there. It was pretty busy when we got there and we were seated in the downstairs outside patio area. We usually eat upstairs. I ordered a beer and their chicken taquitos. The beer and food were good. Decent prices. A duo set up in the corner and played some good rock and pop songs. The singer was very good.

A bit of a disappointment after visiting the Vegas location a few times. The service was great and all staff friendly and accommodating, but it smelled like there has been a sewage leak near the area we were seated. We just had drinks, which were ok, no food.

Stopped in while in the area , it was against my better judgment as this is a tourist location although we gave it a try for drinks and appetizers and it was a big disappointment . The mango Margarita was like a smoothie on the rocks , it was supposed to be happy hour but our bill did not reflect that , the chicken flautas tasted and smelled like spoiled chicken, after the flautas we were worried about the coconut shrimp we ordered and left everything on the table . When server asked how was everything as she noticed we quickly asked for the bill , we mentioned the concern of the spoiled chicken but she didn't share concern. We politely settled the bill and would not visit in the future.

We arrived at around 12:3p right before it got really busy. Bathrooms are clean. The menu was so so. Food was decent. Nothing to write home about. Use your phone light to see the menu. Not sure how exciting the nighttime is but it's good to see for yourself.

Cabo Wabo is a classic. The food is simple but delicious, the staff are very accommodating (& most speak English so if you're a tourist, communication here is easy,) & there's always something fun going on. Last night ZZ Top was preforming! The mojitos were really tangy and the steak tacos were to die for. Our food came out quickly. Someone in my group ordered a drink that didn't taste quite right & we sent it back full but it was still on the bill. That was the only disappointing part, but no big deal. It does get a bit noisy if you're visiting at night, but the outdoor seating is situated away from the noise if that's not your jam. Daytime is peaceful and quiet here.

Dear Sammy Hagar, It is time to show some love to what was once a beacon for live music seeking, tequila drinking party people. This bar is tired and dated and in need of an overhaul. Those "of a certain age" may be tempted to spend an evening here while in Cabo. I can't recommend that. It had its glory days, but those have faded. The TVs are old, as is projection equipment. The live sound is mud. The day-glo neon paint decor is passé. This bar was a let down. We reserved the elevated VIP area to the side of the stage. But there was no need. There was plenty of unused seating throughout the bar. I will say the service was friendly. But I don't believe we will be back. I am conflicted posting this, as I don't like to disparage, but I am just being honest....

Only reason why cabo wabo gets 3 stars is because of Sammy Hagar!!! Angel the table cleaner did more for us than my waitress... She was to busy talking to the Bartender probably dating eachother... The Mixed Drinks were a bit over priced and not listed on the menu so buyer beware and the Chips and Guac around $13.00 not much Guac or Salsa left half the boat full because who likes to eat dry chips... Live music was cool but not what you would expect from a Rock Star establishment.... Overall I can say that this place is more about saying you were here rather than a place you would come back to :( Posted a picture of us when we first arrived that was before the server disappeared probably for the best or our bill could have gotten out of hand...

Great place for music and drinks. The atmosphere is electric and the place is just a lot of fun. Snack food was alright, served hot and pretty quick. Place is clean especially the restrooms that are staffed consistently. Lots of security throughout and the neighborhood seemed safe.

Shrimp ceviche was outstanding. The staff were very attentive. Some prices are ridiculous. Lobster taco is about $70. More than twice the price of Mangos Deck. Ambiance is outstanding. Sammy ROCKS! No Corona, Pacifico, or DosXX ???

I was at Cabo Wabo everyday during my visit mainly because it had the best vibe of anyplace that I've visited. Good rocking music is always playing whether it be live or streamed and there's always a good crowd of people, but during the days you should be able to get in without much of a wait. The menu is large, but not overwhelming and the food was tasty and well-prepared. They do have drink specials, so take advantage of those as long as you can. The staff was amazing; if I had an empty plate or glass or bucket on my table more than 1 minute, I would've been surprised. They were ON IT. They were also pleasant and professional. This original location just destroys the branch locations as they're mainly making money off the brand, without any of the charm/spirit of this Cabo location. If the location in Hollywood were even close to the original, it'd give me some reason to trek into Hollywood, but I'll need to come back to Cabo for my true CW fix and just maybe one day I'll get to see Sammy play there.

I've always heard about Cabo Wabo in Cabo San Lucas and always wanted to come here; especially after I saw an episode on DDDs. I've been to their other location in Lake Tahoe. I was coming off a long walk exploring Cabo San Lucas when I decided to stop somewhere for a beer and eats. I knew Cabo Wabo was close by, so I stopped there. I was greeted by a hostess and immediately seated. I noticed every patron were tourists. I figured they must all be from cruise ships. Personally, I try to search for places where the locals eat to experience an authentic Mexican experience. But as i previously mentioned, I always wanted to try this place. Maybe just to say I've dined there. I didn't want a large meal as I still had a long walk back to my villa. So I ordered shrimp ceviche and Tecate Light. I was brought a bucket of ice with two Tecate Lights. I guess that was one order. Surprisingly, the shrimp ceviche was one of the best I ever had. It was fresh, flavorful, and I could actually taste the shrimp. The helping was plentiful and I could have easily shared with someone and still would've been satisfied. It was served with freshly fried tortilla chips. I decided to order another bucket of Tecate and just relax and listen to the live music that was playing. The band was pleasant and played mellow songs like Margaritaville, Shallow, and Blue Bayou. Overall, I was very pleased with Cabo Wabo. The only reason I didn't give them five stars was my server wasn't very attentive. But I would definitely dine here again!

Went on a Friday at 2pm as a group of 5 and were seated within 5 minutes. Nice ambiance outside and it was pretty hot but we were seated in shade/next to fans. No inside seating other than the aesthetic bathroom. Live band was fantastic and added to the great vibes DRINKS: there was a 2 for 1 special on margaritas and my friend loved that. The sangria and piña coladas were a hit also FOOD: got the coconut shrimp, shrimp tiradito, surf & turf burger, and chicken quesadillas. They were so kind and already divided the burger and fries on different plates for my 2 friends that were sharing. Everything was great all around Glad we stumbled upon this place when we were shopping around downtown!!

I was not sure why my counterpart wanted to come here. While staff were nice and fast, the prices is what you would expect from a tourist spot. We did not eat here. He had a shot and a beer and I had a diet soda.. about $90. I don't think I will be going to Cabo anytime soon, but for you first timer, skip!

Came here for a cruise. One of the stops is Cabo, San Lucas, and of course in Cabo Wabo, the crowd was a little crazy this trip and we had to rush to get back to the boat after whale watching. Food is good, decent menu. Drinks are usually pretty strong.

Looking for live music and fast margarita service look no further Cabo Wabo is the place to go. Not too crowded for a Thursday night at 10 pm but when we left at 11 there was a line. There's a band that played classics but my 90s body was rocking to blink 182 lyrics. Drinks were decently filled with wonderful amounts of alcohol but a little pricey. Great vibes. Psychedelic glow in the dark paintings throughout the venue.

Truly enjoyed the music and the food and this one amazing drink.. Enter... The Cocorita. That coconut deliciousness will not be forgotten anytime soon. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I hope you can taste the coco-nutty yumminess through this one. I will forever be chasing that taste.... Combined with the ocean air and the vacay vibes, this taste cannot be recreated if you are away from the water... The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because it was so packed we could barely move, no tables available so most of the time we had to stand up with our drinks. Besides that... I'll be back!

So we get off the ship-map in hand-and are heading toward CaboWabo.... Two locals give us bad directions and we hike & hike in the heat & humidity.. Luckily we see a couple guys from our ship who are heading that way (thank you guys & God). Once there, atmosphere is great, drinks are cold, everything we ordered was delicious! Special thanks to our awesome server Evelyn, she and all the staff made us feel welcome! Sammy: update your website! '22 & '23 info !?!? Your RedRocker cocktails & beer rock!

Was really excited to come and try after hearing all the hype. made our way from the ship. Food was ok, nothing special, maybe better if you were at the end of a night of drinkin. ordered bloody Mary's, tasted like plain tomato juice. So let down.

Went to the restaurant on Father's Day. We were staying in town for a week. When we arrived at the restaurant we were informed there were no disability seating. All the tables were tall with tall chairs. There was nobody in the restaurant despite being father's day. I asked if they had any regular chairs that I could sit in since I'm disabled and need Ada assistance. I was told that I could not be served because I could not sit in the tall chairs that were available. I was very disappointed as I was looking forward to spending Father's Day at the restaurant. I know it's not the USA, but I think that Sammy Hagar would consider providing some disability seating for some of his fans. It cost me $22 to get a fan ride to the restaurant from my Resort and another $22 to return and I was unable to eat there because no disability seating was provided. The staff didn't seem to care one way or another.

We came here because it was the touristy thing to do. After a day tour, we headed over for drinks and maybe a bite of something to eat, just so we could say we experienced it. The place wasn't packed when we arrived around 6:30 so we were able to get a table in the restaurant really quickly. Seating was outdoor, and it was a nice cloudless evening to enjoy it. The margarita was nice. It went well with the shrimp tiradito (ceviche). The ceviche itself was very zesty, although the citrus did not quite finish the job, and some of the shrimp was still raw. For people who can't handle spices, there is a very mild heat. The flautas were nice and crispy and the tomatillo sauce was mild. The radish and red onion didn't really do much for the flavors. In all, it wasn't bad. It just wasn't the greatest.

Expensive and meh food and drinks. Why would you go to an American restaurant for Mexican food when you're in Mexico??? It might be a fun place to hang out when there's a band. (There was no band, and it was empty when we visited.) It's basically a tourist trap for Americans. The service is decent, but if you're looking for good Mexican food, ask a local where they would eat. It's not here. (It will definitely be less expensive and better, authentic food!)

Totally cool vibe-tucked away off the beaten path! Very very overpriced! It was early afternoon so we didn't get the full Cabo wabo experience at the club. We definitely enjoyed the food! Their coconut shrimp was bombalicious! Everyone else loved their food too. We just drank Bohemia beers and enjoyed the atmosphere... they also have a gift shop with all kinds of souvenirs (also very expensive) Definitely a must see especially if you're a Sammy Hagar fan!
