The place is incredible and offers a wonderful culinary experience with the dishes they offer. We paid $226 per person, but it was absolutely worth it. The sound of the waves and watching the sunset were magical, and if you get cold, they even provide a sarape to keep you warm. The only downside was that one of my cousins found a fly in her drink.

The reviews here are mostly accurate. Good but not great food that feels worse when considering the price. That said, the atmosphere is maybe once in a lifetime? Truly stunning and makes up for whatever the food is lacking. Also, great service and attention by the staff.

A Perfect Birthday Celebration with Stunning Views! I recently celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with breathtaking views that made the evening even more special. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful time. They even surprised me with a birthday dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch! If you’re looking for a place with great food, a fantastic atmosphere, and stunning views, I highly recommend this restaurant ! It was the perfect spot for a special celebration!

Visited Mid-April 2025. Ambience and location of this restaurant is well renown, and for good reason. Incredible view with the ever-present sound of waves crashing underfoot. A few unfortunate diners near the ledge got splashed, but took it in good spirits. Food is quite good, very fresh fish and well prepared with great presentation. Shared the seared blue fin tuna and the amberjack mains. The amberjack crudo starter was honestly the favorite part of the meal. Service was also excellent. You're really paying just for the view and atmosphere at this restaurant, but it is total worth it. This place really is a must visit at least once. I found it amusing that there was live violinist paying smooth jazz covers of American songs. Felt out of place to me, but to each their own. Lowlights: Quality wine is horrifically overpriced. Either bring your own and pay the corkage fee, or stick to the (still fairly spendy) cocktails.

Nestled in the Mountain against the Ocean. The tables are up against the railing next to the Ocean and Giant Rocks. Just know if you sit there you could get wet! Sometimes it’s a little chilly so bring a jacket. They do take care of you with Mexican blankets. The service with Carlos and his partner was excellent. Every course was delicious! Including dessert at the end. The meal includes soup, appetizer, dinner and dessert! Everything is fresh and delightful. Try the Mac and cheese if you like truffle! The best I’ve ever had!!

El Farallón in Cabo offers a truly unforgettable dining experience. Nestled against the cliffs with breathtaking ocean views, the ambiance is second to none. The sound of waves crashing below, combined with soft lighting and live music, creates a magical and intimate atmosphere. The service was exceptional—attentive, professional, and warm. From the moment we arrived, the staff made sure everything was perfect, enhancing the overall experience. It was my second time dining here and my girlfriend’s first, and she was just as impressed as I was. The food was outstanding. The seafood was incredibly fresh, expertly prepared, and full of flavor. The menu is prix fixe, allowing you to select from an array of high-quality options. Every course was beautifully presented, and the flavors were well-balanced, making for a memorable meal. Of course, El Farallón is a high-end restaurant, so expect to pay a premium. Our dinner for two came out to around $400, but given the quality of food, service, and atmosphere, it was absolutely worth it. If you’re looking for a romantic and luxurious dining experience in Cabo, this spot is a must-visit.
