This is hands down the best restaurant in San Jose. The seafood was so fresh, vibrant and delicious. The service was spot on! I ordered the pulpo (octopus) cerviche, and the grilled pulpo. Absolutely mouthwatering. My wife had the shrimp toastada. So tasty. Didn’t take a picture of our drinks, the mixologist was a genius. I cannot find anything to critique about this place, other than keep doing what they are doing. Been here 3 times already and I plan to come back a few more times before we leave.

The food, ambience and the service were great. They serve bottled water and do sell some local items. Quick walk from cruise drop off. We were part of a shore excursion and the guide recommended this place. Restrooms very clean too. For 5 of us the bill came up to 80 which was higher than what we expected.

The best oysters I've had in Baja! They were so incredibly fresh, and I love the variety you can get them in. The chili pecquin with Limon salsita that they have in the bottle is the perfect combination, my wife and I sat here for hours just devouring the food. The oysters are the best thing I recommend though their tacos are incredible too. For dessert try the "family cake". This place is so affordable for everything else around Baja and for the quality of the seafood- it really shocked me. Would definitely definitely recommend, and it won't burn as much a hole in your purse as any place else. Staff was really good and attentive, location beautiful and outdoorsy and the price is affordable. There's also a beautiful story to the origin of the name- the pirate Aguamala, someone took the time to explain that to us and that was amazing.

This was my first stop when arriving in Cabo and it was great!! The staff are super welcoming and friendly! We weren’t too hungry when we stopped and only planned on having a drink but after smelling the food I had to order a taco (pulpo and chicharron) and my boyfriend devoured the shrimp! 10/10

I was the only customer when I arrived, that always concerns me, but by the time I left the place was half full. They have a nice narrow patio overlooking the street. My meal was a simple plate of ceviche with chips and crackers, and it was just right. Happy hour gave me two for one Mezcalitas, Which were the most beautiful and simple cocktail I’ve had in a long time. Three of them was just about right :-). This is a nice choice in Del Cabo.

I had a great lunch here. My choices were simple but delicious. Those with more sophisticated tastes will find plenty of great menu items from which to choose. It's nice to see locals here, as well as tourists. The food is fresh and the service is great, as is the location. Dine outside if a table is available, and enjoy the cool breezes while you enjoy your meal.
