Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Six dollars for a beer and creepy server. Total scam tourist place, we wanted to check it out just for fun but it is obvious right when you get in that it has a weird vibe. Keep walking when you see it.

Went here with our group and had amazing time. Got pretty busy but lots of room to find seats if you have patience. The DJ play good selection of music and keep everyone on floor. The bartenders were pretty fast and drinks were good.

We stopped in for drinks and stayed around because of our bartender Breesa. She was so much fun. We were so glad we did stay because the table side salsa was out of this world!! Thank you Breesa you made our day.

We have been coming here for at least 15 years. When we were there a couple of weeks ago the staff seemed like they could care less if you were there or not. Isabel in the gift shop, has to be the rudest person we...encountered on our entire trip. I was there to spend money, she seemed put out that I was even talking to her. Very rude, and in the wrong line of work. You probably lost $400 dollars that night because of the way we were treated in your establishment. We come there every year and support your town financially, it will not be spent here again. Wait staff was the same, very disinterested in us being there!!More

To be clear, I only ate breakfast here, at the walkup window, 3 times. I got the bagel egg sandwich 2x & croissant egg sandwich 1x. GREAT deal, this sandwich was bigger than a 3 patty big mac, 2 eggs, 2 slices of ham &...bagel had cream cheese as well. Very fast, great service. They took credit, US cash & peso; exchange rate was very good.More

The disclaimer on the sign should have given it away. “If the food, drinks or service is below your standards, lower your standards.” The vibe of the place is great. We were excited to see some American food on the menu so that my son...would eat. Really excited about the tacos, guacamole and fiestas. Everything was bland. No flavor, definitely not Mexican food. Chicken fingers a big thumbs down. We dropped $100 US, left hungry and disappointed that the reviews were so misleading. If you are interested in authentic Mexican food, this place isn’t for you. Get out of the tourist areas and into the streets that locals eat and shop on.More

The Giggling Marlin is a must for anyone travelling to Cabo and looking for a fun way to spend a few hours. The staff and service are always great and the entertainment is always amazing. This was our fourth visit and we look forward to...it every time. Easy walk from the marina. We arrived late afternoon and stayed until 11PM. Great time playing name that tune, and the rest of the games that evening. The entertainment host was spectacular and kept everyone laughing and having fun. Special shout out to the bartender Brisa who was so warm and inviting - and kept the cold beers coming.More

The waiters are fun, friendly, attentive and are sure to have you order appetizers after some drinks. The chips and guacamole were so fresh and yummy! Their tequila is smooth and very good according to a tequila connoisseur who was with us. Outside seating and...sports bar atmosphere. For something fun- someone with us hung upside down and took a shot! It's really "a thing" there! Our adult kids enjoyed it!More
