"The Crazy Lobster is ALWAYS on our list for places to dine while we're in Cabo. The steak and lobster tails for 2 with a bottle of wine are phenomenal!
The staff is always so kind and go out of their way to make their guests happy."
Heather Freeman
"Staff is friendly and helpful. We enjoyed lunch and then went back with our catch and they did a super fantastic job fixing it for us. Good variety of food to choose from and sides are the perfect size. Full bar is available. Outdoor dining. Definitely going back next time we are in Cabo!"
Virginia Torres
"We went on a port day and it was my birthday - been recommended to get a cab here and go as only 4$each per way in taxi-
Waiters lovely - we went first thing so it was paradise- bottle of Sol 2$ can’t grumble at that and Wi-Fi…
Food I wasn’t impressed at all - chicken tacos $14 and plain nachos $10 were overpriced for poor quality food- we left it-
All in all a great beach spot for drinks on the beach (:"

The Best Places to Eat in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico — Restaurants and More
Pretty much the opposite of the Nobu experience is The Crazy Lobster, a raucous place near the marina in the center of Cabo San Lucas that's been open since 1990. Here, you may not find the subtleties of fine cuisine, but for a lively, tequila-fueled party scene with a surf-and-turf plate full of steak and lobster going for about $20, this is the place. The menu is mostly made up of seafood, Jose Cuervo shots flow for about a dollar, and they'll even take your fishing catch and turn it into dinner for you — just bring it along and hand it over to the chef, and soon you'll be eating your very own fresh fish.

This is where Panchos is as well as Crazy Lobster, La Dolce, Mama's/Felix's (name changes after breakfast). If you followed Hidalgo down a couple of blocks, you would then come to the intersection of Lzaro Cardenas. If you turned left there and went about 2 blocks at that corner, you would see the restaurant "Mi Casa" off to your left.
