    There's tons of options for Mexican food in this area but I have to say this place does it better than the rest. We got the carnitas plate and a surf and turf, they were absolutely delicious! The prices were very reasonable and you can order beers here as well. We'll be back soon

    Last Saturday my wife and I decided to make a Manicotti recipe that she had not made in years. I went to Stater's to get Ricotta and overheard one of the cashiers telling another customer about "Los Cabos" Mexican Restaurant... near us... but we had never tried or even heard about. So Sunday we went there to give it a shot. I think we have a new "Go-To". The menu is incredible... service excellent and prices unbelievable. I had the best "Carnitas" I have had in years. Sides of Refried Beans, Rice, Pico de gallo and Guacamole were outstanding. We can't wait to go back!

    My coworkers and I visited a lot of the surrounding restaurant around Los Cabos so one day we decided that we needed to try it. I ordered the street tacos because I believe the restaurant had a deal with these. I got a carne asada, adobada and carnitas. Really nice sauces too, red, green and a chipotle sort of sauce too.
