Los Claros

This is my new go to spot when I'm in Cabo. The food was excellent and the prices are very reasonable. They have a great toppings bar with several choices to add to your tacos. I had 2 fish tacos, seafood soup and my wife had 2 carne asada tacos. They were all delicious.

Every time we come to Cabo we eat at Los Claros! They have the BEST fish tacos in the world, in our opinion. Our absolute favorites are the Marlin tostadas!!!! We prefer this location where the locals also eat the best fish tacos!

Food, service, & prices are amazing. Had 4 fish crunch tacos & 2 margaritas for $20. The fish pieces were big & the salad bar allows you to add all the toppings you want. The servers were all friendly and attentive. Everything was so good we went back the next day. It's definitely worth the 6-minute walk from the waterfront.

Well worth the five min walk from the main touristy area. Absolutely authentic. Flavorful. I appreciate the taco topping bar allows you to customize flavors and heat. Very kind and accommodating staff. The Marlin taco is spicy according to some. Nothing that a little sour cream couldn't squelch. Drinks were well made, too. In the end, we probably had some of everything. Definitely worth returning.

The Marlin spicy tacos are amazing. All the food and drinks are great. Visit soon.! Thank you all.

So glad we took the recommendation from our Whale watch tour guide, Josephine. The flavors were delightful and loved the “fixings” bar. DIY to taste. What you won’t find is typical tacos. It’s 90% seafood, and no cheese. So don’t look to order any queso.

Lovely place with delicious food and great staff. I had a fish burger and a taco with octopus. As my partner is alergic to seafood, they prepared a potato filled with meat (cooked separately from seafod). They were very accommodating and the chef came talking to us personally to give us options. Also, it is an authentic place, just 5 mins away from the crappy touristy places. Top!

The best spot for authentic fish tacos. Been a decade since I been here and been dreaming about my return and finally! My first meal in Cabo was here. Went crunchy fish and shrimp and two other recommendations. Dress them up any way you like at salad bar, and they have corn or flour choices. Was something like 45 pesos each. (something like $2.20USD). There is no WiFi and I think they are cash only. Can’t wait to eat here again.

Great local restaurant! So glad we discovered. Such delicious fried fish. And experienced Marlin. Will go back!! Good service!! Nice place. Go Cabo!

A delicious, unassuming, hole-in-the-wall establishment tucked away in an alley off one of the main streets in Cabo San Lucas. I ordered 3 tacos: one fried shrimp, an octopus, and a mixed seafood. For appetizers, my boyfriend and I ordered a small chips and guacamole and a fish ceviche. Everything was made to order, and the seafood quality itself was super fresh (given how close we were to the marina). I assumed the tacos would be on the smaller side, but they were larger than we thought, so we walked out of our meal absolutely stuffed. Sitting on the patio, we watched as the chef took out the seafood (from an Igloo cooler, mind you), battered our seafood, and fried it on the spot. The batter was light and crispy, which was surprising to me as it was some sort of flour coating and not a beer-batter like I was expecting. This meal was definitely our highlight of the trip and a nice reprieve from the all-inclusive resort food we'd been eating all week. A note: one of the hostesses speaks English, but our server spoke very little English. I was able to scrape by with the intermediate-level Spanish I know, but I did see a table next to us communicating with our server through Google Translate.

Amazing mixed ceviche! The best in Cabo. The crispy fish tacos, shrimp and marlins were good. The horchata was terrific and the prices just right!

I was excited to try this place after hearing from others how great it was, but I was truly disappointed. I ordered the crispy fish taco. It was pretty flavorless. You can tell from the picture that the breading came off the fish. I also ordered the mar y Tiera taco and it lacked flavor, meat was tough. Service was slow also.

We actually tried this place while on a cruise a year ago, in which, subsequent to the time we spent in Cabo, we got pretty sick, so I never got around to writing a review of it, but I'd remembered the food was great. So when we were back in Cabo last month on another cruise (fixing our mistake the first time by *not* going anywhere the previous week to be exposed to anything), I figured I'd go back and review it properly (also because, again, the food was great, definitely better than any Mexican-style ceviche I've had in the US, certainly for the price). Anyway, I can't say this is the best seafood we had on our cruise last month, but it is certainly possible it's the best in Cabo (the best Mexican seafood I had that trip, and also *ever*, was in Puerto Vallarta). It was definitely great, though, both times. I was with my wife, so we got to try a good amount of the menu - spent about 30 bucks, for food for two people. (Well, ~30 bucks US if you have the pesos - they only take cash, and while they *do* take USD, their exchange rate is... not good. Would've been ~35 if we hadn't had enough Mexican bills.) I was especially excited to try the smoked marlin tacos, which they had been out of the previous visit - they are *excellent* (if I'm ever back in Cabo, I'd probably get a couple of them). The scallop tacos were also great, as was the mixto (one note: the only difference between the mixto as an order of ceviche, and as a "tostada", is whether they plate it for you vs plating it yourself, so the former is a much better value.) We also shared a "half order" of guacamole, which was pretty substantial for a "half order" (also great). The only food item I wasn't particularly impressed with was the crab tostada, which was... pretty bland. (Though enjoyable enough after dousing it with hot sauces, it was definitely the one I was by far the least impressed with by itself.) I can also confirm, from the previous visit, the fried fish tacos were great, too. One thing this place also definitely has going for it over the street food vendor I'm comparing it to in PV: a buffet-style setup of not just salsas, but also complimentary unlimited-with-purchase creamy corn salad, cabbage salad and spicy pickled onions. (Also great salsas - though their spicy ones do *not* mess around.) Another thing it has going for it: great drinks, both aguas frescas (their horchata and jamaica are both great, and a glass is enough to share with someone), and micheladas (they only have standard mainstream Mexican beers, nothing craft, but their michelada mixes are great - I tried the mango-flavored one, and it is highly recommended.) Definitely wish there was a place like this in Long Beach (mostly I wish there was a seafood place with *prices* like this in Long Beach.)

We were looking for a place to have tacos & good thing a local recommended this place to us. It's kinda off the beat and path but close enough. We had the special which comes with 3 tacos & a shot of tequila & beer for $18! What deal! Guac & chips for $3 This place was great! The tequila shot was anejo & it was very smooth! Tacos were delish & shrimp was my favorite. They played great music & owner was super nice!

Hole in the wall restaurant that is the hidden gem of Cabo. Tacos were delicious and highly recommend getting any seafood tacos. Carne Asada taco was average but the crispy shrimp was a 10/10! Service was fast. Would come back

Los Claros is definitely a local spot to grab a bite to eat. No tourists here...maybe an odd straggler like myself... (-‿) Nothing fancy about this place, just some good seafood local Cabo style. They do have a full bar, but I didn't get any drinks. We just stopped by for a quick bite to eat, and didn't dig deep into the menu. Their specialty is a Marlin Taco's. They do things a bit differently here. The protein is prepared separately and placed on a Soft Taco Shell. By itself it doesn't look like much. The magic happens when you go to the Taco bar. The toppings are unlimited and you get to customize your tacos to your personal liking. I forgot to take pics of the Tacos after all the added toppings. SMH #TacoTuesday: ~ MARLIN TACO - 4.5/5 Very different, yet so good. The Marlin look and tastes like Pulled Pork. I honestly thought it was Pulled Pork! An excellent introduction for someone who is not too fond of fish! ~ CAMARON A LA PLANCHA O CRUNCH - 4/5 Juicy local Shrimp fried to perfection. This is much heavier than it looks. I'd love to come back and try the rest of the menu.

Outstanding, the ambience even better. They bury small hole in the wall but out, standing amazing food. Will certainly put this on the checklist for a return visit. Also service very fast and efficient. Drinks were good as well.

Seafood was fresh. Tacos were great. Service was prompt and nice. Great meal at a very reasonable price. We try to make the trip here with every visit to Cabo. Yelp has the business hours wrong for this place. They open at 8am and close at 10pm.

Los Claros was a real gem, it was hard to find and harder to park, it is a patio setting very basic but clean and bright. Staff was friendly, attentive and tolerant of my lack of Spanish. Now the food, I had a shrimp taco on delicious corn tortillas. (You have a choice) . You also have your choice of grilled or "crunch style" (deep fried) I got crunch and highly recommend if your diet allows. I also ordered carne asada taco which was good but average. When served I was shown to a condiment bar where you choose your fillings. Now for my only complaint, I wish that it was a little bit better lit, my old eyes found it hard to see. Thank you for a delicious meal

OMG this place has the best ceviche in Cabos as well as the best crunchy fish tacos I have ever had. They also have a great fixings bar which is loaded with tasty add ons for tacos. The prices are incredibly cheap and lots of locals eat here. We highly recommend Los Claros

Yummy, authentic tacos in Cabo! Only knocking off a star because it was a bit difficult to wave down staff. There's an indoor and outdoor area, and the indoor area is split into two rooms (literally, with a doorway in between) so a bit difficult to get staff's attention. We sat outside, where the grill is and most of the food is made! Was very cool. It wasn't super busy but it still took a longer amount of time to get each of the items we ordered (they're not extremely hard or time consuming to make dishes) but that's just me being impatient. There's also a serve-yourself toppings bar which is cool, but wish they had even more sauce variety. Finally onto the food itself: overall great! Tostada was my favorite, so fresh and who doesn't love ceviche?? Today was also the day I learned I don't like marlin. It was my first time trying it. There's no better time than right by the pier! For those of whom who have not had the pleasure of trying marlin, I highly recommend never doing it, or trying 1 order of it first. We got ahead of ourselves and ordered a doradito AND taco and it was just.... a lot. However, from an unbiased opinion, the quality and taste of the tacos and everything overall was top tier.

FANTASTIC fish tacos (45mx) FANTASTIC shrimp tacos (50-55mx) Came here for lunch (takeout) and was charged 45mx (fish tacos) and 55mx (shrimp tacos). It was sooooo good that we came back a cpl days later for dinner (dine-in) and were charged 45mx (fish tacos) and 50mx (shrimp tacos). Obviously not a big deal but just something I noticed -- perhaps diff pricing for takeout vs dine-in? Regardless, we HIGHLY recommend this spot for fish and shrimp tacos (HUGE + DELICIOUS portions!) My SO also ordered some type of mixed seafood ceviche that was just ok. I recommend sticking to fish & shrimp tacos. Def give this place a try, and you might even find yourself coming back for more... Salud!

We visited after our boat trip to the arch with my family. We walked here and it wasn't too bad. The sun itself was really hot. But when we got there, we sat inside and got some cold drinks! We ordered the fish tacos, micheladas, and seafood ceviche and the kids had quesadillas. (Family of 6) spent around $60 US dollars. It was all so good! Hospitality and service were excellent! We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our meal!

Look no further for the BEST shrimp and fish tacos on this side of Cabo. Stopped by for dinner and this no frills restaurant served some delicious freshly fried shrimp and dish tacos. We also ordered some meat tacos. They have a huge table for condiments which elevate the flavors of all their tacos. Such a locals fav spot. Service was very quick. They also had some good local beers and we enjoyed our dinner in this quaint non-touristy spot during our trip to Cabo last summer. Highly recommend if in the area.

This was indeed the best Taco place in Cabo! It might come off as hole in the wall-ish, but the tacos were the best! We recommend trying their sopa too and their Flan! The service was okay, make sure you have a bit of Spanish since some of the staff speaks zero English.

Been coming here for years. Was surprised to see hours listed incorrectly here! They open at 8am and close at 10pm. Best fried fish tacos hands down!

Large variety of seafood options from tacos, tostadas, Marisco soup, fresh fish dishes from cocktails, fried or grilled fish tacos (whatever is fresh caught that day:Dorado, sea bass, snapper), mixed seafood combos, we had the Callito tacos which was fresh scallops grilled mixed with fresh pico. They have a salsa bar filled with fresh limes, cabbage, green tomatillo salsa, habanero salsa, fresh onions, pico, grilled onions, delicious. Beverages are water, soda and beer. Their specialties consist of a potato stuffed with fresh mixed seafood (fish, scallops, octopus) or a mixed seafood molcajete, marlin or shrimp with cheese, or maris Large variety of seafood options from tacos, tostadas, Marisco soup, fresh fish dishes from cocktails, fried or grilled fish tacos (whatever is fresh caught that day:Dorado, sea bass, snapper), mixed seafood combos, we had the Callito tacos which was fresh scallops grilled mixed with fresh pico.

One of my favorite places in Cabo. We spend 3-4 weeks a year here and I will make it for lunch at least 3 times a week. My favorite is the shrimp crunch tacos. With the condiments bar fix them up any way you like. 2 tacos will fill you up and ad a beer and it's about $8.00 us. It's only about 3 blocks off the harbor well worth the walk.

This place is really good! Delicious seafood. Super cheap prices. Off the beaten path a little bit but not bad. Enjoyed the table side presentation for mixed drinks. Brought out the liquor bottle and poured the shot. Tried a few different things. Seafood quesadilla, guacamole, and 1 clam. They had a pretty decent fixins bar.

I came in just for the aguachile, only because my tour guide and the captain of my boat told us it was a good spot away from the main street for ceviches and beers. Well he was right. We hd shrimp ceviche with fish and callos, aguachile, shrimp tacos are killer, the fish and mix seafood tacos were ok. Over a the food was delicious, quick service and the gucamole was awesome and plentiful. Great music, reggeton was on the Flatscreen and we had a great time for lunch right after a tour of the arch. This pkace is 40 minutes from where i am staying but I trvel for food, believe me, i will pay the uber to get here and eat again!

Great crunchy fish tacos and michelada! Attentive staff!! Be sure to check it out for the crunchy fish taco.

This place is known for their fish tacos, but my favorite item was the pina colada! The tacos are great too and there is a great smell coming for the cooking area which was just in front of our table. We tried four different tacos, my favorite was the asada and the crispy fish taco. We also had the large ceviche which was great too, but not really large for American standards, and a coco loco which was fine, but nothing close to the pina colada.

They say they have the best seafood in Cabo and I believe them. I normally dont like seafood tacos but decided to try them. The grilled shrimp, battered scallops and chicken tacos were all EXCELLENT!! The margaritas were great too - get there for happy hour and they are 3 for 2. I also had the stuffed clam and it was soooo good! Definitely recommend this place...walking distance from Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Place.

Honestly I used to love this place and went all the time until today when I ordered grilled shrimp and received fried shrimp and then was told that it was the cooks first day and didn't know the difference between grilled and fried.What a joke.. Figured maybe they would remake the plate but they never did and no one came to apologize. There was no discount or anything you'd expect after getting a completely different dish. I just don't understand how you could hire a cook that doesn't know the difference between fried and grilled. When you go to a restaurant you expect to receive the food you ordered and are paying for. If you decide to go Goodluck

The food was amazing. We tried this on our food tour and David was fantastic. The restaurant is very casual and the customer service was impeccable.

Shrimp and fish tacos were fresh and good. I wish our waiter could have explained more on the menu and the best sides at the taco bar, but English was not his first language. This place is truly a local spot that welcomes tourists. I would go again, but earlier in the day to get a better experience.

This place is the place to go if you are looking for authentic Mexican mariscos (seafood). We came here on a food tour and tried the crunchy shrimp tacos and the mixed shrimp/fish ceviche tostada. The tostada was amazing, the shrimp taco was also really good. We tried the marlin taco and that one wasn't my favorite, little fishy. They have a stand full of all of the toppings. Very very fresh seafood for much cheaper than if you are dining right on the marina.

Many local restaurants claim to have the best seafood in Cabo - but prices are lower here than at places closer to the water and where tourists tend to congregate. Tacos come with 2' tortillas. I suggest taking half of what comes on them and splitting it to make 2 tacos before visiting the salsa bar to add whatever else you might like. Beverages cost more than tacos, so when here, consider ordering more to eat and less to drink. Indoor and outdoor dining areas.

Best FISH TACOS in town. Period...I'll be back. I have drinking to do. And more tacos to consume.

Best seafood in town, very homie, excellent customer service by "Manuel" will definitely come back soon!!!

We asked our shuttle driver to recommend his favorite seafood place where locals go to eat. He recommended Claros so we headed that way for lunch on our 2nd day in town. It was a quick walk from our hotel but I did struggle to walk back after lunch because I was so full. Started with shrimp ceviche and an ice cold michelada. Both were great and really enough to fill me up. But, I had also ordered a scallop taco and shrimp taco, and it's not like I was going to NOT eat them. When I ordered, I forgot to mention that I wanted the shrimp to be grilled rather than fried but whatever - the fried shrimp taco was fantastic. Scallops were cooked perfectly and the corn tortillas were delightfully fresh and tasty. Admittedly, I was a bit hesitant to visit this place seeing all the photos posted showed a self serve salsa bar to dress the tacos....I wasn't keen on the idea of a buffet style during Covid-19. But, Claros is doing it right...they take your temp and pump hand Sanitizer into your palm before allowing you to enter...AND a server puts the condiments on your tacos when you walk up to the salsa bar. Excellent! We will be going back to Claros on each visit to Cabo. Excellent seafood at reasonable prices. 4 tacos, 2 Micheladas and 1 shrimp ceviche = $27.

Server was very nice. The guacoamle and salsa is Da Bomb yo! Recommend coming here again. Chendo was very accommodating and very friendly. The tacos were nice! Just nake sure you order more than 1 cuz the price is per piece. Would come here again for next time!

The glass door to the restaurant was locked, but thankfully that isn't the way to enter Los Carlos or we would have missed out on some great Mexican seafood! Service, food, atmosphere and price were all muy bien! We asked to be seated in the air conditioned area.

Tried the battered fish and marlin tacos. Battered fish wasn't seasoned enough in my opinion, the fish was a little bland to me. Marlin was okay but really nothing outstanding. Awesome selections for toppings though, they even had something like a corn and veggie salad. I made it 20 minutes before they closed that day, but sure if it was the reason so the food was a little disappointing. They take credit cards!

We went here on a recommendation from a local vendor. The place said it was closed until 7pm (I noticed this after I checked in) but we came for lunch. We order the ceviche on a tostado and it was very fresh with shrimp and fish. I also ordered a fish and shrimp taco. When it arrived I was kinda disappointed since it was just protein and tortillas. The waiter was quick to show me the toppings bar, which was super impressive. They had the normal pico, avocado, salsa. They also had a bunch of additional toppings which made it amazing. After adding those toppings and eating the tacos, I was very pleased. The next day, we noticed another location in the touristy area. I can't speak for that one but this location was very good.

Simple, GOOD and FRESH seafood but plain. Needs seasoning to make it pop. Tortillas, corn and flour NEED to be grilled and not warmed. The base elements are fantastic but they need a lot of elevation. This is a local favorite and rightfully so. You cannot attenuate the value of FRESH, hence four-stars. A clean bathroom and fresh drinks (Tamarindo and Mango) help raise the bar, too.

Best fish and shrimp tacos in Cabo!!!! This place is a few blocks north of the main strip in downtown but the walk is worth it. Recommended by many locals. I ordered the shrimp taco and a fish taco along with a ceviche tostada and they were tasty. They also have a "salad" bar that you can get unlimited salsas, veggies, slaw, jalapeños etc. the "hot bar" also have onion rings and fried stuffed peppers. They usually have music playing on a tv and it gives the restaurant a little Latin spunk.

Luckily we found this place while walking around by our Airbnb. It smelled amazing so we decided to walk in, so glad we did. The food was great and inexpensive. For two people we spent $40 including tacos, drinks, and chips and guac. You can't beat that! In our 6 day stay we ate here at least 4 times. Order the quesadillas over the tacos, they add cheese and it makes it that much better. Their jalapeños from the salsa bar are a must! Also order the chips and guac. I will come here every-time I am in Cabo.

Beat taco ever Right next door to the tesero hotel, as you walk out towards downtown Was here a week with My cousin fishing and ate here probably 4x. Margaritas where excellent and the service and food quality was outstanding Chris and Pepe' made the experience even better with there stories and helpful know how around town. See you guys soon!!!!

We went to Los Claros on a recommendation from a staff member at the hotel we were staying at. Los Claros is located close to the bustle of the main tourist area in Cabo, but far enough away that the trinkets and noise are drowned out. When we first arrived, we were the only Americans. We got a table outside, but they also had tables inside. There was a bathroom inside that was clean. We ordered the guacamole and the the fried fish tacos. These were some of the best fish tacos that I have ever had. The flour tortillas were warm, and we had watched the chef cook the fish, so everything was fresh as could be. They had a stand with all sorts of accoutrements to add to the tacos include red and green sauce. With each taco you could also go up and get fried onions and fried jalapeños. I would definitely recommend this place to all fish taco lovers.

This restaurant was recommended by a local. We were on vacation and had a bad experience the day before at gus's tacos. Totally worth it, customer service, food, drinks, and price were great! Loved their salsa bar, grilled chili peppers/onions!

Really delicious tacos! I liked the extra crispy fish tacos so much, I ordered a second one. If you like fried food, you must try the extra crispy fish tacos! The surf and turf quesadilla and tacos were so-so. If I could order again, I would forego the surf and turf and get more extra crispy tacos - shrimp or fish! My husband really enjoyed the marlin. Their horchata was not bad too. There is a toppings / salsa bar where you can customize what you want on your taco. Great value, good service, clean restaurant, pretty easy to find and not far off the main road. The Yelp map location is a little off, the restaurant is a block more north, past the street 16 de Septiembre across from Alcaravea Gourmet.

Smoked Marlin tacos = heaven. And that is the highlight of my review. My family enjoyed this place so much we came back twice. Affordable too compared to some of the other tourist spots in the area. There are some other taco spots called Los Claros but they are not the same as this one!

Awful fish tacos, avoid them here because they're overly oily and greasy with cheap fish parts used. The shrimp tacos are good, so is the guac. Prices are on the upper end for this dilapidated establishment. There were a lot of flies everywhere which grossed me out. I'm rating one star because they charged my bf's credit card twice, then when he called to resolve their error they rudely said, "we never charge credit cards more than once," then hung up the phone. This wasn't a language barrier or misunderstanding either as my bf's a native Spanish speaker. If you must go, pay in cash and avoid using a credit card.

So much fresh seafood for very reasonable prices. I had the special tostdas that we're loaded with fresh scallops, shrimp and octopus. You'll find yummy flavors, great prices, and fresh ingredients here, and AC is a plus when it's scorching hot outside! If you're following walking directions on Yelp, the restaurant is a half a block further north from where Yelp drops the pin.

Fabulous place! Open 10 am-8 pm per server - YELP says 7-10 pm (INCORRECT) -use Google maps as Yelp "Get Directions" is off by 1 block. Tacos here are amazing!!! Had a fish taco - then you choose from several amazing toppings and quantity as you like! Only 40 pesos total! Severs were very friendly!

Referred to us by our snorkeling guide. Great prices. Delicious tacos. The must try's are the shrimp taco doradito with cheese, Ceviche Especial and shrimp quesadilla with corn tortilla (they are taco size).
