Chamuyo

Chamuyo, located in the heart of Cabo San Lucas, is a popular and well-regarded Argentinian steakhouse that truly lives up to its reputation. Known for their juicy, slow-cooked meats—especially their beef ribs—Chamuyo offers a dining experience that’s both flavorful and memorable. One of the standout aspects of this restaurant is that most of their meats are smoked overnight, and you can absolutely taste the difference. We ordered the beef ribs, and they were nothing short of phenomenal. Incredibly juicy, full of smoky, savory flavor, and so tender they practically melted in our mouths—it was easily the best beef ribs I’ve ever eaten. Every bite was a perfect combination of bold flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The ambience at Chamuyo matches the quality of the food. The space has a modern yet rustic charm that feels cozy and authentic, complementing the traditional style of Argentinian cuisine. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a hearty meal in a comfortable and stylish setting. Their drink selection was also top-notch, featuring a great mix of wines and cocktails that pair perfectly with their grilled meats. The service throughout the night was excellent—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which only added to the overall experience. For anyone visiting Cabo San Lucas, Chamuyo is a top choice if you're craving high-quality grilled meats in a warm and inviting setting. It’s a place that delivers not only on taste but on atmosphere and hospitality as well. Whether you’re a steak lover or just looking for a special night out, Chamuyo is absolutely worth a visit.

They're is always going to be THAT restaurant that you dream of eating again because you remember how wonderful the food tasted, how excellent your waiter was, and how you can still smell the wood burning to cook the ribs. On my second time to Cabo February 2025, my husband really wanted to go to this Argentinian steakhouse. I've passed by so many times by this restaurant on my previous trip to Cabo and I can't believe I've never been before. We are coming back for the best ribs and steak we've ever had. Maybe this is the only reason why we are coming back to Cabo on July!

5 Stars – A Must-Visit in Cabo! We had an incredible dining experience at Chaymou in Cabo San Lucas. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, with lovely decor that creates a relaxed yet elegant vibe. The dinner music added the perfect touch without being overpowering. The food was outstanding! We ordered the flank steak with grilled veggies and the grilled shrimp with mashed potatoes—both were grilled to perfection and bursting with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Our server, Alejandro, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent, attentive service throughout the evening. We felt well taken care of from start to finish. We will definitely be coming back—highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable meal in Cabo!

Chamuyo in Los Cabos offers a great atmosphere with a serene, cool ambiance, especially if you dine under the tree. The service is excellent, and the food is flavorful. The steaks are a must-try, along with the delicious lobster tails. I also enjoyed the chimichurri sauce and focaccia. While I wasn’t a fan of the mashed potatoes, the grilled mushrooms are definitely worth trying. They also have an impressive selection of wines. Overall, for a mid range restaurant, it’s definitely worth having dinner here at least once.

Great food. Beef rib is awesome to share. Service could be a little more attentive, but we could easily wave someone down. Music was excellent and made for a fantastic evening.

Steak was amazing!! We had the rib eye & tenderloin - both were incredibly tender and delicious. Arugula salad was also great.

The best steak we had in Cabo. Follow our instagram page @gemislist for more

Atmosphere is cool but the service is horrible. We let the establishment know before hand we were splitting checks and they refused to do so at the end. They were extremely rude about it. I would recommend taking your money somewhere else as you will get better food and better service. Roasted around the corner is twice the quality and cheaper.

Chamuyo was a top shelve experience! Chamuyo is located on Ave Del Pescador, which is one of the main streets that connects the city to the beach. It is about a five minute walk to or from the busy beach area where all of the popular beach clubs are located. The restaurant ambiance is awesome at night; fantastic lighting in an open air dinning environment. They also have chill live entertainment. Regarding the food, it was delicious. We ordered the rib eye steak plate, which came with vegetables and thinly sliced potatoes. We also ordered a lobster tail. House bread was complimentary, and it was very good. Our order was enough for us to share. Both the steak and lobster were cooked perfectly. Chamuyo also has a full bar, Mexican beers, and a few IPA selections. Regarding the service, it was excellent. Our servers were on it the whole time. We look forward to returning to Cabo just to have another meal at Chamuyo. It was a top shelve experience!

This place is surprising an Argetinian style jewel in Los Cabos. Centered on different cuts of beef cooked over mezquite wood the sights and aromas are intoxicating. The place is small and cozy with a nice ambiance and a very knowledgeable staff that makes you experience very enjoyable. If you are not familiar with the different beef cut you will be at the end of your dinner. They provide live music and that makes the experience intimate and romantic without overdoing it. We ordered the Mezcalita with 400 Conejos Mezcal, my favorite. I do believe that Tequila is too overrated. They offer also fish dishes, that's nex on my list. Like I indicated the place is casual chicken but I rather call it casual chill. Overall, a nice place for an evening with great company and exceptional beef dishes. Worth a visit.

Amazing food for the area, but it's overpriced now in our opinion. It's a fine balance when eating in Mexico. Worth going for a good steak dinner, great drinks, but know you'll pay a premium

Had a very lovely dinner here to celebrate a birthday with my boyfriend's family! They are Argentine and all really enjoyed this Argentine dinner. Service was great and food was all really good. There were about 15 of us and the food was served at the perfect pace!

I couldn't get into Roasted, so I ended up at Chamuyo and not only were they slow to seat me (they weren't busy either), I got seated and to wait about 10 minutes to get a menu. I had to flag a serve down for a menu. I ordered a spinach and cheese empanada, and the thick part of the center was still cold. They brought me out another one, and that one was better, but still slightly cold in the center. I wanted the grilled shrimp entree but they also had a shrimp entree that came with mashed potatoes, so I asked if I can get the entree with the mashed potatoes, but with the grilled shrimp and the server said "no problem". After the cold empanada, I wasn't feeling very confident, so I asked the server again, "my shrimp is going to be grilled right?" And he said, "yes, of course. I'm gonna take care of you." The shrimp entree did not come out grilled, and the mashed potatoes were lumpy, and the sauce smelled like rotten cheese or something, so I couldn't even eat it. The kind server took the fish back and brought me out the frilled shrimp with the salad, and this one didn't have much flavor and the shrimp was so overcooked it was rubbery. At this point, I was starving, and I didn't want to keep sending everything back, so I just ate it, and used as much chimichurri and other sauces that was on my table, just to make it decent. I also got a side order of grilled veggies, and the carrot was still hard, the potato slices were somehow too stale, and the zucchini and eggplant was mushy...only the onion and the bell peppers were grilled just right. This was my first night in Cabo and I was so disappointed that I didn't have great food my first night. Especially with all the other restaurant options nearby. That's what I get for going for the closest restaurant to the one I couldn't get into. Save yourself the trouble and skip this place. My server was really awesome though!

Great food and service. We ordered espresso martinis from the bartender with a cart! Fun way to start the meal! The beef ribs were so good! Just a great dinner!

To start DO NOT make a reservation online with Open Table!! We made a reservation and they were closed that day! Got ready walked over and the place was under construction!! They closed for the hurricane season. We did make it back later on when they were open. Food was just ok. Seemed really overpriced. Not what I was expecting at all. The Beef tips was underwhelming. Empanadas were just ok.. The margarita was great. Service was good. With so many other places to eat around the area, I wont be returning... Total waste of two days !! Total waste of $ too!

Service - excellent. Everyone that came to our table was exceptional. Atmosphere- open air feeling; very welcoming; music a little loud; nice distance between tables too which is nice as it is a fairly modest sized restaurant. Food - very, very good. I can see how it might be considered high priced but we were able to split the "Grill for Two" which was plenty of food, salad AND a full bottle of wine. Coffee and dessert followed and after almost two hours of dining, our bill was reasonable for what we ate/drank.

Cabo has been nothing short of amazing food, but we were looking for an option outside of Mexican or Italian options. We read the reviews and thought this would be a great option, but our experience was only fair. The location is convenient to multiple hotels, and the ambience was cozy and offered a romantic bohemian vibe. We started with the ham and cheese empanada, which was yum, so I wish I would've tried some other options. We also ordered the burrata, which was seriously lacking in flavor and quite disappointing given this is an option at many other local restaurants. Since this was our first time, we notified our waiter it lacked in flavor and was not to our expectations and he stated "we cannot return that item", which is somewhat understood but didn't offer to provide something else as an alternative. For our entrees, we ordered the filet ribeye, the grilled lobster, mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. Every item lacked in flavor, but was brought back to life by the delicious chimichurri sauce. Overall, I did not find the food worth the expense nor to the caliber of many options within the same vicinity. I would not recommend in Cabo.

We enjoyed dinner at this wonderful restaurant while in Cabo San Lucas. Here are my thoughts: LOCATION: This restaurant is conveniently located right next to several prominent hotels in the Medano Beach area of Cabo San Lucas. It is a short 3 - 5 minute drive away from downtown Cabo and the Marina. ATMOSPHERE: We absolutely loved the vibe of the this restaurant. There is a large, gorgeous tree right in the center of it, and it seems as though the rest of the restaurant was built around this massive tree. It has a very warm, inviting, and comfortable ambiance. When we were there, there was a very talented girl who sang, played the flute, and various other instruments along with well-known songs. Everyone was dancing in their seats and clapping to the music. It made the whole evening that much better. SERVICE: The service at Chamuyo was truly 5-star. From the moment you walk in and are greeted by the manager, Louis, you are treated like royalty. Every single staff member is full of smiles and is exceedingly friendly, courteous, polite, and attentive. Our primary servers were Louis (not the manager) and Felix, both of whom made the experience so much more pleasurable. FOOD: I cannot say enough about the mouthwatering food at Chamuyo. Everything was cooked to perfection, well-seasoned, and exceptionally tasty. We ordered various cuts of beef, which came on a sizzling skillet so that every bite is piping hot. Here are some food recommendations: Empanadas - we tried the beef, chicken, and spinach, which were all amazing. I recommend baked, not fried. Puntana Salad Beef Tenderloin Center Cut Rib Eye For dessert, try the Panqueque **Tip: Ask the waiter to bring you a side of the empanada sauce to have with your beef. It really compliments it.

Mmmmazing!! I went here during the end of my summer vacation to San Jose Del Cabo and I wasn't disappointed.

We stayed at Me Cabo and this lovely restaurant is right in front of their entrance. We ordered the beef rib (to die for), lobster tail and shrimp platter. They give you complimentary read with house made chimicchurri Live guitarist and vocals add a great touch.

Food was amazing and atmosphere was just as good. Grill for two was tasty. Mollejas was creamy with citrus from the lemon. Chimichurri was good but I like my families recipe better as it has a little more acid to it. Ambiance was amazing like I was at my families house in Buenos Aires!!

EXCELLENT food with the best service! If I could give over 5 stars, I would. Our waiter, Victoria, was beyond attentive and made our experience so overwhelmingly good! Not to mention, the live music had me convinced we were listening to the radio, her voice was so angelic! We ordered the lobster with two center cut rib eyes, both to die for and the portions were exceptional! Both steaks came with salad so we also ordered two orders of mashed potatoes - also delicious! This was split between 4 of us and each one agreed it may have been the best meal we've ever had. The drinks were extremely good as well! Victoria made this trip extra special for us, as well as her other staff who never failed to keep our table clean and tummy's full! If you're in Cabo, do not miss this restaurant! You need to eat here!!! Cannot wait to come back one day!

Daughter and I had a lovely meal. Shared the beef rib and chamuyo salad. I had a glass of red wine. Great ambience. Service excellence. Expensive but worth it!

What is a Mexican vacation without a good Parilla ..... well, this place certainly hits the carnivore inside you with a giant rib! The appetizers: burrata salad, empanadas and sweet breads were delish. The Rib - was divine! The location is close to Medano beach and worth a visit. Bring on the meat sweats and your wallet, it's pricey.

This place was delicious and had such a cute atmosphere! Amazing service and really tasty food :) we will remember this restaurant as part of our amazing trip to Cabo!

Very happy that I followed the yelp reviews and came here. The food is really fantastic and the service is exceptional. The atmosphere is very nice as well. The zucchini and prosciutto appetizer was especially fantastic. Alejandro my waiter great.

Food is excellent but service leaves something to be desired. I ordered a rib eye medium-rare, which was delivered barely cooked. The waitress kindly offered to take it back for more grilling, but after about 10 minutes the manager came over to inform me that the steak had been "lost." Lost? Yep, that's what he said, although he may have meant that it became over-cooked. So he comped me on another drink and another steak was delivered (medium -rare) in due course. This incident followed a somewhat similar incident a year ago when we were part of a party of eight. Of the eight orders, they delivered only seven plates -- the eighth was "lost." By the way, when the band is playing (Wednesdays through Saturdays) the ambience is terrible and very uncomfortable for these ears. That's why we went on Monday this year; but the thumping from the band next door at Roasted still was annoying.

This was a nice find a lot of places were closed because it was Wednesday in the middle of the week in October. We stumbled upon this place and could not be happier. The chorizo appetizer was surprisingly delicious the potatoes and tomahawk and shrimp were fabulous. The service was unbelievably perfect I dropped my napkin and they brought me a new one immediately . They have a great wine selection cool vibe and live music also. We ordered the empanadas for appetizer they were OK we may skip those next time but everything else was excellent. Ordered the tomahawk and grill vegetables and the shrimp with mashed potatoes and both of those dishes were wonderful. They have a very cool table that sits over a deep well that you can see below because it has a plexiglass viewing area. I will return to this place and my friends who didn't go with us the first night went back to try it and loved it. I took a few pictures and loaded them here enjoy the food was just unreal.

This place is AMAZING! Every time we are Cabo we come here and bring friends so they can try it and they end up loving it as much as we do! Best steakhouse in Cabo hands down.

Fresh greens, fun BBQ with fantastic meats. I throughly enjoyed a flavorful beef rib and my mates shared slices of awesome steak. Even seafood shrimp and lobster was delicious . Ambiance at night is elegant with a cool vibe. Singer and band was spot on without being overbearing, although a bit loud.

Way too expensive. Two people and we spent $350 on a meal? Nothing crazy, I bottle of Malbec and one margarita.

They have updates since last there. They absolutely nailed every detail. Excellent service

The restaurant was great, me and my friend had a great time, they have live music, the food was good, the atmosphere was great, the restaurant interior design was cool and we have a lot of shot especially the bartender was fun to talk with

We have been waiting years to go back to this place. Chamuyo never disappoints! Atmosphere, service, drinks and food were all amazing as usual! Make sure to try the beef rib and empanadas. I had the Alfredo and it was amazing as well!

Our second visit to Chamuyo was almost as magical as the first. This time we brought guests from Seattle, needless to say, they loved it as much as we did. This packed restaurant keeps its grill fired up all night dazzling diners well after the sunset has faded into the Pacific. Don't overlook the appetizers or the desserts, these hidden gems on the simple menu are perfect sharables that enhance every meal. Chamuyo's intimate setting is kinda romatic; however, its also perfect for families or large groups. Both visits to Chamuyo were during spring break; don't worry, you won't too many kids here, its a bit pricy for them.

Wonderful food, service and ambiance. It is pricey but well worth it! The fish is awesome too for those who don't eat red meat!

The food is 100% 5 star but the way our dinner started is what lead to a 3 stars review. We had made a reservation days in advance for New Years Eve. When we arrived the manager told us before he would seat us that each person needs to spend $85 or more if we want to eat there. Quite frankly it was so tacky that it would really discourage me from returning again. Nice restaurants don't have a need to say something like that. We spent well over $85 a person but the fact they allowed us to make a reservation and then upon seeing my party had purchase minimums. We didn't hear or see other people go through this so we assumed it's because we had a few children in our party. Now the food. I ordered the tenderloin which was huge and exceptional. It might have been the best beef I've ever had in Mexico. The service was great, drinks were awesome and the atmosphere is exactly what you want. They were even able to accommodate my gluten allergy. If this restaurant replaced their lead staff member it would be the best spot in Cabo!

Great atmosphere and good. The empanadas were a great start. I had the beef ribs which were delicioso and tried my friend's chicken fettuccini alfredo which had the perfect amount of sauce and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Can't wait to go there again when I'm back in Cabo.

The ambience and experience are great. We were there when they were having live music and the duet was really top notch. It wasn't too loud and she had a great voice. The lighting, the bar, and the outdoor seating was pleasant and comfortable. We had the empanadas which were good and the cheese platter was also good but there was no bread or crackers served with it. We ordered the grill for two which had sausage, flat steak and ribs but they were out of ribs so they substituted. Ordered it medium rare and all meat was very rare which is surprising for a high end steak place. Everything was also extremely salty which made it difficult to even eat. For the prices, I would not return.

Probably one of the best meals I've had in my entire life. Absolutely outstanding food and wonderful service. The bread they give you at first is so fluffy it almost melts in your mouth, you might have to ask for more! We started off with empanadas- amazing choice. Onion soup was delish, very creamy and flavorful. Highly recommend getting the meal for 2, perfect amount for 2 people. The meat is full of flavor and is perfectly cooked. If you need a sign to try this place out, here it is! Thanks Chamuyo, we will be back! Must try this place!

The Chamuyo Rib is INCREDIBLE & DELICIOUS!! Service was fantastic! The Ambiance was sexy, but calm - beautiful tree, lights, & live music make you feel relaxed. We were able to have conversations without it being too loud!

The food was excellent, the service was attentive without being intrusive, and the whole vibe was quite chill. One of those great local places that gets far less attention than it should. We had some empanadas and a pizza. The food was fresh, hot and incredibly tasty. Their bartender made me a great whiskey sour ( Makers Mark). Wine list was extensive and South Americ a focused as you should expect of and Argentine restaurant. Already planning a return to try the steak. Is not that the best endorsement a diner can give??? That they plan on returning ASAP??

We went during the week to avoid crowds and ordered some wine, apps, and steaks. The service was friendly/ok, and the apps were good. The tenderloin was delicious (served medium-rare) but the (medium-rare) rib eye was very chewy, tough and not good. The fat from the steak hadn't rendered down which made the steak very hard to cut and eat, so most likely the heat wasn't high enough on the grill. We should have sent it back but didn't. For the price- I would stay away from the ribeye.

This place is as authentic as it gets. The food is amazing and is true Argentine food. We had empanadas and they were all good! We also ordered the choripan and it was amazing. They give complimentary bread with chimichurri. This has been our favorite restaurant in Cabo, they also play love music. Our waiter Silvana was amazing and really made us feel like we're at home being from Argentina.

Tremendous. Just friggin' amazing. Sure, it's not cheap but it's not breaking the bank either. Probably the best service I've ever had in Mexico. Food is to notch. Highly recommend.

I would never consider going to Cabo and not eating here at least once. While the beef rib is certainly big enough for my husband and me to share- I would never consider that, because the leftovers are even better. Accompanied with the grilled veggies and maybe a potato to share- the creamed spinach is also a winner. The wine list is excellent and not crazy expensive. I almost hate giving it such a rave review- because I don't want to have a hard time getting in. Service is great and food even better. The outdoor patio is charming and their is almost always lively live music.

OHHH MY GOOOOD!!! This place hit every spot imaginable! I am pretty much a steak snob. I can eat it sashimi or cooked (medium rare is the farthest I go for cooked) style. So when I say this place is one of the most delicious bbq/steak you will ever have is not over exaggerating. Also, the reasonable price a a plus as well. Tomahawk: are you kidding me! This was so smokey and tender. I didn't need any dipping sauce, spice or extra salt and pepper. The flavor was nice and bold. I really don't know what else to say beside you must try it. Beef Ribs: this was just as delicious. I have had beef ribs in many diff places and style and this was THE BEST. It was tender but still has that nice bite. Again, no extra sauce needed. Onion soup: it was a tad too sweet for me but then again I don't really have a sweet tooth so maybe this would be wonderful for those that are. It was still tasty, so anen you dip their bread with it. Our other friends ordered other items and they enjoyed it as well. It was our last night in Cabo aka last meal. So it was a nice closure for us. If you're having second thought on this place, DONT. You make the RSVP and go! I also wanted to compliment the waiter and chef/cook as well. We had all kind of question like how big was the meat to see how many we just order so that we can share each one to try. So what does he do, he took is to the front of "the kitchen" and they showed us the items and gave us some info. Now that's awesome customer service! The place is also outdoor seating with cute decor. I really really enjoyed the place, food and customer service. I want to go back to Cabo only so I can eat this place again!!!

$40 corking fee while most restaurants charge no more than $20. Don't know if food worth it but the $40 corking fee sounded a bit high!

This place was recommended by our driver from the airport and we didn't go once, but twice. Our server Victoria was attentive and pleasant. We got the chamuyo combo (rib, lobster, and shrimp) one night and the mix grill (rib, flat steak, sausage) the other. Both nights we left fully satisfied. Definitely going back next time.

Nice little Argentinian steak house. Its an open patio with an open grill, a nice tree, live music. Food is very good and authentic. We had the chorizo, queso provoleta and the Ribs.... very nicely cooked and comes with salad. Some nice potatoes were also served.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. The food was excellent, my husband got the beef rib and I got the shrimp along with the burrata salad. The beef rib was tender perfectly seasoned. The salad was on of the best I've eaten. The bread and sauces it came with was addicting. We saw Chamuyo walking to another restaurant the night before. You can see the meat cooking through a window on the street. We came in on a Friday night at 7 pm and it was empty. There was live music playing and they were awesome. I didn't get the group name but, we could have stayed there all night listening to them. This restaurant is a must try in Cabo.

The service here was incredible. The waiters were so nice, they even took the time to speak English to me even though my boyfriend speaks Spanish as a first language and most people usually switch to Spanish right away when they hear this. One of the fans in the dining room was making a strange noise and when I pointed it out, one of the waiters quickly found a solution by climbing on a chair to try to fix it, eventually turning it off and bringing out another one to compensate. They really went out of their way to fix the problem and I really appreciated that. Speaking of which, their system of fans was there to ward off mosquitoes and flies, and it worked like a charm! We were bug-free, and the fans weren't too harsh either. All in all, we loved the setting. The food itself was very good. The empanadas were delicious. We took the corn one, and one that wasn't on the menu (blue cheese and mushrooms). Yum!! We also LOVED the sauces everything was brought out with. Chimichurri, and two other really delicious sauces. One was tomato-based and the other had onions and some kind of balsamic vinaigrette. And finally, the Beef Ribs, the restaurant's specialty. They were very good, though we suspect they weren't entirely BBQ-ed, maybe oven-baked a little. But still delicious, and a HUGE portion. If you're going to order starters and sides, consider sharing this dish, you'll have more than enough. All in all, we really enjoyed this place. My boyfriend is Argentinian and he says he wants to come back, so that says a lot. Argentinian-approved! ;)

This spot has a very nice ambiance; with outdoor heaters, candles, and lights strung about in the trees. We started with Empanada and Argentinian chorizo sausage; friggin delicious. The beef rib fell off the bone and had great flavor, accompanied by a salad that had a balsamic lemon dressing. The vegetables and mashed potatoes we ordered alongside were yummy. The hot apple dessert topped with vanilla ice cream went so well with our espressos. Friendly and prompt service. This place is on the pricey side but so worth it. Recommended.

We go here a lot, the food and atmosphere are amazing and 5 stars! They have live music nightly. The service is top notch as well! I highly recommend visiting as long as you don't mind the high prices which is the reason for a 4 star. Get the filet!...Love this place though!

We came here for a friends Birthday Celebration. We were staying at the Bonito Rose and after having subpar resort food for a few days this was a welcomed break. The food was amazing, I have no idea what the cocktail was that I had but it was the best drink I have ever had. Service was wonderful. The restaurant atmosphere was welcoming and a bit dark and moody. We all had ribeyes that were cooked to perfection! The grilled veggies and creamed spinach were also very good. They brought out a complementary birthday treat which was a strawberry crepe with chocolate. I would highly recommend and will return if I ever make my way back to Cabo.

Nice place and excellent service. Unfortunately the steaks were mediocre at best and incredibly expensive. They were cooked appropriately per order but our steaks were really chewy (center cut ribeye) and disappointing.

Be aware of portion size,ordered the flank sreak,delicious,they said it will feed 2 persons,so we ordered 2 of them,holy cow 1will feed 6 people easily,so don't expect the waiter to be honest,ask to look at the meat before ordering,this place is great definitely not cheap,
