A family-run palapa where Cabo locals go for ceviche, chocolate clams and garlic octopus at fair prices.
El Toro Güero: Where Locals Eat Seafood
Mariscos El Toro Güero was opened in 2008 by Juan Carlos Garate Zatarain and Adriana Sánchez Rodríguez as a small seafood restaurant, and it has grown into one of the local favorites in Cabo San Lucas. It is a relaxed, open palapa on Calle Adolfo López Mateos in the Mariano Matamoros neighborhood, away from the tourist center, with its own parking.
This is a seafood-only, lunch-focused kitchen. Reviewers recommend the ceviches (served in oversized glasses), shrimp dishes, chocolate clams from the Baja coast and garlic octopus. Portions are large and prices are reasonable compared with the marina. The restaurant closes at 7:30 PM, so plan it as a long lunch or early dinner rather than a night out.
El Toro Güero is about 2 km from Hacienda Beach Club, northwest of downtown, so take a taxi or drive (around 10 minutes depending on traffic). Cash and most credit cards are accepted, but not American Express. Note that there is a separate El Toro Güero in San José del Cabo; this page covers the Cabo San Lucas restaurant.
