This place is amazing. I’m a vegetarian and they made me a vegetarian quesadilla exactly how I want it out. It was so delicious. The rest of my family all had chicken dishes. It’s such a beautiful atmosphere.. highly recommend going here.

GREAT food & service! Get the hot stone with shrimp and margaritas! Fresh hot tortillas off the grill - made with love! Family owned and it shows! Enjoy!!

Great restaurant nearby the art area in San Jose. We had the mixto ceviche, whole fried snapper, and steak and shrimp molcajete. All were fantastic. To finish the evening, we had flan and real Mexican flaming coffee. Definitely recommend.

Great service, great food, and great food. In my entire time here in Cabo, this has had the best food. It’s different than anything else. With its speciality molcajetes taking the show, this place won’t disappoint. We tried everything that everyone recommended and we happened to stumble upon here, and it was amazing. Don’t let the look take you away, it’s amazing!

Excellent experience here. Had a few margaritas and the ranchero molcajete. That meal was one of the highlights of my trip. Seasoned to perfection, everything was very fresh. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend a visit!

Amazing food and spicy salsa. Ate chicken Salsa Molcajete Hecha En la Mesa amazing flavors. Too much food for 1 person but worth it.

Oh my word- sooooo delish!!!! The Molcajete is AMAZING!!!!! The service was great, the food fantastic, the drinks HUGE & strong!!! The entertainment was excellent (loved the singing at the table!)

Every time we’re in Cabo, San Lucas or San Jose Del Cabo, we come here, and the owner Polo is always so welcoming. It is absolutely the best molcajete and margaritas anywhere in Baja Sur! It’s on a side street a few steps off the main shopping street, but worlds apart in traditional food and drink.
