Had a local bring my wife and I here and this is LEGIT authentic Mexican food. We tasted a little bit of everything including the Marlin Tacos, whole Red Snapper deep fried in butter sauce, and the shrimp soup. Everything was great. Definitely our must return to spot anytime in Cabo.

If you’re ever in the beautiful Cabo San Lucas area, a visit to Pezcabo should definitely be on your list. Nestled in the heart of Ejidal, at Adolfo Ruiz Cortines S/N, this vibrant spot has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

The menu at Pezcabo is a celebration of fresh, locally sourced seafood. Whether you’re in the mood for a light starter or a full meal, there's something that will suit your taste. One of the standout dishes is their ceviche, a refreshing mix of marinated fish, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro that’s perfect for starting your meal. If you're more in the mood for something heartier, their fish tacos are a must-try. Crispy, yet tender, they are filled with the freshest catch of the day, drizzled with a zesty sauce, and served with a side of seasoned rice and vegetables. It’s the kind of dish that perfectly captures the essence of Cabo’s coastal cuisine.

One of my new favourite restaurants is Pezcab, a 25-minute walk from the Marina. If you aren't familiar with Cabos, consider taking an Uber. The menu is only in Spanish, and even with Google Translate, it took some guessing to decipher. I downloaded some photos from Google to show what I wanted, not that I needed to, as there was one server whose English was so fluent that I could tell she studied abroad. We ordered ceviche, raw clams, octopus, tuna and fish tacos, and spicy tuna tostada. We tried two types of ceviche - a raw prawn and octopus ceviche and a mixed ceviche of fish, octopus, raw and cooked prawns. I've never tasted fresher seafood, so good that I didn't bother adding any of the dozen or so sauces on our table. I would get the ceviche again. The raw clams came chopped up and only needed a squirt of fresh lime. The clams were sweet and clean tasting with a pleasant chew. Lately, I've been more on a clam kick than oysters because I find the flavour and texture more appetizing. The spicy tuna tostada was a winner, taking on Asian flavours from the heavy mayonnaise and sesame seeds. The portion was so much that I asked Chew Steel to help me finish it. The diced tuna was cool in temperature and firm, and you could still taste the quality of the fish. My octopus taco was delicious. The octopus was tender to the tooth, stewed with onions and cooked in a soy-based sauce. On our second visit, one of the servers brought us complimentary shots of mescal with slices of orange. I found this liquor so smooth that I wanted to order a second one but restrained myself as it was a long walk back to our hotel. Next time we visit, I would like to try fried pork, tuna ceviche, baked clams, and oysters.
Great seafood spot hidden in the back streets of Cabo San Lucas, comfortably tucked away from the craziness of the Medano Beach area. I got the feeling that locals like to eat here, so I figured it would be a good spot, and it certainly didn't disappoint. I had an absolute feast for lunch here. Get a seafood tower for the table ("torre de mariscos") and a couple of tostadas (i preferred these over the fried seafood taco) That will get you pretty full along with a health serving of totopos and some complimentary seafood consomme. The prices are great for the amount and quality of food.
Best tuna tacos I've ever eaten in my life! We just paid for an uber from San Jose del Cabo to come eat here because the food is that good!! If you love really good seafood at great prices you have to try Pezcabo!!!
I got the seafood Tower it was delicious and my wife got The seafood Taco that fell apart as soon as she picked it up. We went during the hottest time of year and there's no AC so it was super hot and it made eating my food uncomfortable.
This place was recommended by a local and OMG the food is delish! You get so much food! I loved all the food, but my fav were the octopus tacos!
Best place in Cabo San Lucas, great sea food. Is a small place, no air conditioning but a lot of ceiling fans. You can eat in place or call to pick up. Not too far from the San Lucas’ Marina.
