Cabo Cantina: Where to Watch the Game in Cabo
In Cabo during football season? Many visitors end up here. Cabo Cantina is a sports bar in Plaza Náutica on the marina boardwalk, about a nine-minute walk west of Villa 1, with 11 big-screen TVs covering the NFL, college football, baseball, hockey, basketball and international soccer, Sit outside under the palapa or inside in the air conditioning.
The kitchen opens at 8 AM, so it doubles as a breakfast stop; reviewers like the breakfast burritos. The official site calls the pork shank its signature dish, and also highlights fish tacos, lobster, Baja shrimp, pork carnitas and something it calls billionaire bacon. Recent reviewers add shrimp cocktail, queso fundido with chorizo, sea bass Veracruz-style and fajitas, with homemade tortillas. Mexican craft beers and Valle de Guadalupe wines are on the list.
Hours are 8 AM to 10 PM daily. Reservations work as requests confirmed by email, and the restaurant warns that game-day requests are unlikely to be confirmed in time; for big games, walk in early and grab a table before kickoff. Reviews from May to September 2026 are good, with servers named for their service, and prices are called reasonable for the marina.
It's dog-friendly and family-friendly, with valet parking. It won't win any awards for atmosphere outside game time, but it's reliable and relaxed. From the villa, follow the boardwalk west past Puerto Paraíso and the fishing docks; Plaza Náutica is on the water side. It's also our fallback for a group lunch when the wind is up on the beach. For burgers with a view instead, WTF Burger Bar is on the way.
