Just a Comment
I really find posts like this a waste of space and I don't like anonymous posters throwing trash.
The restaurant unfairly put bogus charges on your bill? Take it up with your credit card company.
Provide details about the experience, otherwise you have no credibility.

Sorry Jan, but I think your wrong...not anonymous...he has been a nomad for years.... Ever been to Cabo?? very overpriced and rude...I have been
going there since before the road was paved....seen all the "improvements", True, It has been 3 years since our last visit...but I know tourist
gouging is an occupation there...a practiced art!! Kinda hard to "take it up with your credit card company" if you pay cash......I believe him and
think others should as well.
Mexico!! Where two can live as cheaply as one.....but it costs twice as much.....

anonymous posters?
details about the experience? time, date, names, weather temperature?
waste of space??? how about your "a review of rosarito restaurants by virtual tourist" last week, half the reviewed spots have been closed for years!
I think tecateray's review is more of what we need here.

Resorts like cabo tend to have a lot of drunk vacationers, I feel sorry for staff that have to put up with vacationing drunks on holiday. Who is
ruder, Brits on holiday or gringos on holiday?

Not just Cabo
We have a local restraurant that offers 1/2 off on dinners once a week to draw in more business. However they jack up the prices on drinks, which are
not posted anywhere, to exactly double what the are on other days. Also, the bartender told me that happy hour price do not apply on 1/2 off night and
that is not posted anywhere either

Funny thing about those gin-mills, isn't it? People tend to get drunk. These places should be automated....machines that pour drinks in patron's
mouths. Then they could get rid of those poor employees that have to put up with the drunks.
Who knows? Dump that bartender and the profits will probably soar.

They also raise the drink prices when the music starts, but don't pay the musicians who work only for tips. It's a business full of
idiots.....including the customers.

At Panchos, at least in the past, the mariachi band was paid by the restaurant. And the employees made good money as well. I was friends with a
number of them...many who attended my wedding. Not too sure about all the arm chair quarterbacking on this thread.....

maybe they were able to attend the big bajaboy bash by fleecing their customers? got any other "friends" we should watch out for?
from trip advisor ( probably arm chair quarterbacks too)
I had fish tacos and they were very fishy (and I am someone who eats mostly fish). My husband had a combination plate that was decent. The chips were
grease-laden and the maragitas were literally the worst we have ever had! Also, the mariachi band comes around and even if you ask them not to play,
they do, and then expect a tip right in the middle of the meal. Also, the prices are quite expensive. I had lobster across the street the night before
for half the price.

come on now Williard Guy...you drink "rot gut: gin and :any excuse to get drunk" beer...of course I don't expect you to understand....this place
actually has cloth napkins and bathrooms with flushing toilets. I'd expect to find you down at El Toro Bravo instead checking out the Adams Apple

Maybe two months out of the year is really hot. But my other house is in Houston.
I will take cabo 100 times over. There is always a breeze here. And the people are nicer. And there are vunables.
