Angel was our server and he brought the energy! Muy amable! He was super funny and had great stories to share with us. The breakfast was filling and cheap. Angel made us salsa right in front of us which was delicious. We overall love the level of service and quality of food. Great prices. 🤗

Early evening on Saturday. Bar was lively, music trivia was going, several challenges as well to keep the energy up, dancing feats of skill. Clientele was 40s 50s. Staff were great everyone in great mood. All around fun and affordable.

In my older age, I have come to love the trite mythos of an adult Chuck E. Cheese like establishment. This is exactly what the Giggling Marlin is. Allow me to set the scene so you can fully understand. I was in town for a wedding and at this point was on an absolute BENDER. It was day 3 of heavy drinking, and my social battery was near 0. However, I had spoken maybe 2 words to the only girl at this wedding that really inspired me so I had to dig deep and show face. Real ones will feel me. After a long day of drinking, we enter the Garlic Marlin. Right when we sit down, someone orders tequila shots for everyone. I politely decline, I'll stick to babysitting this Pacifico. As we are ordering food I find myself spiraling, beginning to fight for my life. A storm is here. The hangover I had been pushing for the past 72 hours is coming in. Gulp. Then, something Magical happened. This little Mexican dude begins to set up 5 chairs and pulling people out of the crowd. Keep in mind we are rolling DEEP, about 40 of us. Maybe a little less. Or maybe a little more. Idk 40 feels right, though. Anyways, he is essentially the MC for one of the most interesting, unexpected nights of my life. For Act 1, he sets up a game of musical chairs with 5 female contestants, pouring shots in their mouths after every round. Rowdy. The bride is obviously a competitor and man does she have that dawg in her. Shoutout to Sassy. The first few rounds were predictable, but the final was absolutely electric. It was the bride vs a girl who was not there for the wedding, just an innocent bystander. A lamb walking to the slaughter. I can't put into words how great a job the MC did hyping this up. You would have thought this was the Rumble in the Jungle the way he was selling this. All 40ish of us were on the edge of our seat. When the music stopped, the bride, in her heels, ran like a hungry lion to the empty seat clearly earning the chair and the win. We ERUPTED like mount Vesuvius. Like Ali had just beaten Foreman after being a 4-1 underdog. Fair play to her competitor though. I respect any man woman or child that steps foot in the arena and leaves it all on the line. For Act 2, the MC picks 4 gentleman out of the crowd to compete in drinking games vs the Giggling Marlins best. After dropping 2 of 3 beer chugs to the Marlins, we had our ace in the hole. Our Mariano Rivera. Everyone in the building was counting this as a win for us before it started, as our Michael Jordan, who we shall refer to as Jake, has never lost a beer chug in his life. We had supreme confidence in Jake and were already wondering what the sudden death would be after the 2-2 split. However, I became DEATHLY concerned after their guys entrance. The lights cut out, and music began to play that sent chills down my spine. Think grim reaper entrance music. Then, I begin to see some movement across the restaurant. One, slow step at time...left...right...left.... I can make out a slightly overweight figure draped in an all black robe. Petrifying. He slowly makes his way to the table and emphatically pulls his hood off. The grim reaper with a beer belly. Sh*t. But like honestly what a production. You have to respect that. Jake does his best to remain confident and unshaken, but that walkout would intimidate even Conor McGregor. As you may have guessed, Jake proceeds to get absolutely thrashed and it completely takes the wind out of our sails collectively. You could hear a pin drop in there after the Reaper buried Jake 6 feet under the Giggling Marlin. My hangover was completely cured and I couldn't have imagined a better way to wrap up the trip. May the Giggling Marlin live forever. Food was alright but you don't come here for the food. You come here for pure inspiration. Apologies for the long-winded review, but I needed to get this off my chest.

Stopped here with my friends on our cruise and had the time of our lives! The food was delicious, fresh and nicely displayed. The server was incredible and provided excellent service to our table. We tried a large selection of drinks (I recommend the Miami vice) the prices were beyond good and all drinks had a nice amount of alcohol. The entire place is clean and the employees are constantly taking away dirty plates and trash. So if you’re coming from a cruise definitely stop here and don’t forget a nice tip for the wonderful staff. If you’re local check it out!

Server was very nice and food was good. However, it was pretty touristy and not the most authentic Mexican restaurant in town. If you are a tourist and want the tourist experience then I would totally go there. But if you want something authentic I would go somewhere else.

Excellent. The best salsa we've ever had! Prepared tableside, as well as the guacamole. Our server was so kind and friendly. Drinks were great and the food was fantastic. We will be back!

It's a cool atmosphere. Nice souvenirs to commemorate visiting, but honestly it's not made for people who like flavor in their food. You know what I mean. The food was flavorless I mean everything. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and I tell you there was no seasoning on it I mean zero. I also had the tortilla soup which was they worst soup I ever tasted. It had seasoning but only one it tasted like a bowl hot bowl of like crushed chilli seasoning with some shredded mozzarella and diced avocado. I mean maybe go at night just to dance or something, but if you are one of us don't eat here. Even the Guc was blahhhh and they make that in front of you and we still had to ask for a little more salt some extra limes and some more cilantro. But on the other hand if you like bland food with no seasoning go for it ☺️

For years been having Breakfast here at the Giggling Marlin , so I had to bring my son for breakfast and for him to check out the crazy white people getting hanged upsidedown after they just eat . I wonder why ? Well that's something in there culture I guess or I wonder if Cabo is what makes them do all kinds of crazy stuff ... Oh , well guess will never know ... Hahahaha.......lol .....only in Cabo baby , only in Cabo .....

OMG This Place Was Amazing My waiter Marco was so friendly The wait for our food and drinks was so fast and everything is hand made even the salsa which is made at your table I had shrimp and beef quesadillas with an amazing freshly squeezed lemonade made with mineral water So Refreshing If I'm Ever In Cabo Again I Will Definitely Come Back Here

Fun place for a few drinks and a snack. Recommend the salsa made at the table. Was perfect with the cold beer and margaritas

Worst food in Cabo thus far... Avoid their poppers like the plague...foul and disgusting. Claimed to be Jalapeno or Banana Peppers, was neither, just a water down pepper and no discernible cheese, had one bit and was done.

The Giggling Marlin is iconic and a landmark for downtown Cabo! The food is very good and the staff is very nice, but there is a bit of a language barrier if you don't speak or understand Spanish/Spanglish, but you are in Mexico so this is not abnormal. The walls are painted with fish×celebrity puns which are fun and the AC nice. Oh yes, almost forgot they make your salsa for you to your liking fresh at your table. Aside from the AC, this place has been consistently great for me and my circle from the mid 90s thru as recent as July 2023.

While in Cabo San Lucas, we stopped in here for lunch one day. This is definitely a fun bar, if that's what you're looking for. However, the day we were there, it was slow. Food wise, we were less than impressed, but the drinks were solid. Consider getting one of their famous hanging upside down shots while there.

Great stop at a long standing establishment in Cabo. Service good though can be a little in your face at times. Drinks good and food as well. If you catch a billfish you can come and hear and get strung up, so fun. Worth a visit while here.

I didn't eat there but my friends did. Their wings were breaded, and I have a wheat allergy. The food smelled amazing! I was told by my friends that to wings and the drinks were really good. The staff wS really nice.

Good food, great service. And lots of fun. We went in the afternoon before the go go girls and loud music.

Great energy..delicious food and amazing service! Best salsa I have ever had!! Check out if nearby

Fresh to your liking salas made at your table.. mango margarita was ok , certainly need more tequila! Poppers were huge!! Our server Arturo. Was fast & friendly.

Fun bar with great music and fun atmosphere. They do a lot of entertaining things and will have you upside down like a caught marlin for a shot. Prices not crazy either.

We've been coming to the Giggling Marlin for 20 years. First it was for the fun nightlife, now we visit for lunch during the day because we are old! 😂 It's always fun to get hoisted up by the ankles for a shot of tequila & a great photo! Our party of 6 shared 2 buckets of beer. Hubby & I had the fish tacos & shrimp tacos, very good! Staff was attentive, interactive & friendly.

We had the best time here. The drinks and service were always amazing! It was our go to bar when we went out downtown!

Party atmosphere they hang chicks by their feet and give them shots of tequila 🎉💪🏿, fish sticks and fries was great also.

Iconic bar that has been in Cabo for several decades. A must to experience.

Came here for a little nostalgia, 18 years since our last trip to Cabo. Walked inside dripping sweat from a long walk in very hot temperatures. Our waitress greeted us instantly with cold bottles of water and towels to mop up our sweaty faces. She then took our drink order, made our drinks herself, and made us guacamole and fresh salsa tableside. Our drinks were perfect and the food was outstanding. The service was over the top good, we were treated like family. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Everytime I go to Cabo I have to stop by one of Cabos classics. The Giggling Marlin is great and fun place. We hung my little cousin upside down and gave him shots, fun times.

We were looking for a place to have breakfast at around 11 on a Sunday. Everything was PACKED and had long wait lists. We stumbled upon this place and loved it. Great breakfast, good prices, abundant meal, good table made salsa and great smoothies. Our only comment, a group asked for a table and they did not allow them in because they had a pup, I would think the place would be pet friendly being that we are in Cabo. Other than that, it's a great option for Sunday breakfast. The coffee is really good! They have temperature checks and socially distanced tables.

Skip Cabo Wabo and head here instead, this place is a must. Friendly staff and excellent food. Fresh salsa made in front of you and some fun art and attractions like get hung upside down. Highly recommend.

I went to this place bc it had great reviews. But if there was less then 1 star review thats what this place deserves. There was only 2 waiters, had to hunt one down for the menu. Got flat cokes and a margarita and paid $20. Decided to leave since the food was going to take over 30 min. Glad I didn't eat here bc I found a local taco place 1 block away.

Came down in September. Had the best time. Back in November. At 5:45, the new MC said Kareoke started at 8. Begged and pleaded for 7 and offered a tip. He said "I don't care about money". We agreed to stay til 7. Nobody was in the entire place. We had 14 ppl. Spent $300. Basically the "new MC" is a liar. In cabo several times a year. Won't come back. The old Mc was amazing. The new guy sucks. Tons of places in cabo. Don't go here.

This is crazy and yes that is my son he simply asked the gentleman what is that and he told him to lay down hooked him up and strung them up we had so much fun in the beer drinking contest got to visit if you're in Cabo

Absolutely the greatest. Fun place to relax and enjoy a great time with friends. PARTY!!!

Great place for breakfast , lunch and dinner with shows , games and bar the best fresh molcajete salsa made at your table by Cesar Santillan always greeting you Angel from Guerrero Mexico

So this happened 🤣 you can get a shot and take it upside down. Very unique and fun experience! They also have this fun music trivia game you can play and earn free shots. Super chill and fun atmosphere, highly recommend.

Great prices and staff ! Food was good made salsa at your table we didnt realze but was 2 for 1 on margaritas a nice surprise ..took your temp at the door when you entered and food was covered intil it reached your table...

Great food and great staff. Free shot of tequila if you get hoisted up like a marlin. Fun atmosphere! Fresh guacamole made at your table.
