Sardina Cantina

Wonderful!, delicious food. small place, great atmosphere! A treasure!
The chef has a creativity I haven’t seen in a long time!

So me and my boyfriend came down to Cabo for my birthday. On our second day he remember a coupon from the front desk for this spot around the corner from our resort. This spot did not disappoint. Our waiter Manuel was the best. Friendly and attentive. His recommendations were on point. I had the shrimp tacos and my bae had the beef tacos. We both are feaning to come back again before we head back to DC. Now I’m a Cali girl born and raised in Los Angeles and these are some
tacos. This place is a must stop when in you’re Cabo. #inlove

Went here for breakfast today. It was a little pricey ($ 47 USD out the door for breakfast for two with fresh squeezed OJ). We had the crab Benedict and seafood omelet. Both were pretty good, except my crab Benedict had lots of bits of crab shells (almost every bite). They also charge a 16% tax (which added about $ 6 to our tab). The service was friendly. A little noisy with all the traffic and no ocean view. Overall mediocre dining experience.

One of the best food we eat in Cabo! Wonderful service! the only negative, No A/​C which is the main reason for not going back! Hopefully the owner will install an A/​C ! So we can enjoy this great restaurant during summer as well!

This is the best restaurant in town. The food and service are outstanding. If you want great food at great prices this is the place.

Went there for Breakfast and Dinner. Awesome food great service. We will defiantly be going back on our next trip to Cabo.

As a local I highly recommend this place for the food. Lousy location though but worth it

Came for breakfast and so glad we did! It was the best we’ve had so far in Cabo! Staff was great and even made us chilaquiles which were not on the menu! Will definitely go back for some more before we leave!

Great place to go after arriving and unpacking at the timeshare Worldmark coral baja, especially if you get the table by the window.

Best place to eat in San Jose Del Cabo. Consistently delicious. Best shrimp cocktail I’ve ever had anywhere. Do not leave without trying the tuna tostada. Great staff.

Good solid place. We sat at the bar and had a long talk with the owner Mike. A local spot for sure and the Unilocal reviews are right on the money.
If you can, sit outside its much cooler and had a lovely garden feel. Not on the water, it’s on the main highway close to the Mega Store. Google maps gets it all wrong, call the restaurant and ask directions
Good service and easy parking… now the food. We stated with the coconut shrimp app and it was so good. Very fresh and light. Then had the fresh fish of the day, tuna steak with wine wine and capers. My wife didn’t love it (might have too thick of a cut for her and she didn’t love the rareness of it), but the potatoes it came with it were life changing!!! Find those!!!
I had fish tacos and it’s enough to share, you get three and it’s a FULL meal! Comes with a great sauce and chips.
Wine list is good and I agree with Unilocalers that it’s not cheap. Be prepared to spend $ 100 on wine and dinner. That’s Cabo big money.
We would go back and have apps with wine. Best deal. And more good conversation with the locals.

This is my «go to» place because it’s not like a box of chocolates.
It’s close by.
It’s seems to always be open at least when I am awake.
The staff are always friendly.
The food is better than expected, sometimes by a lot.
Their fresh fish is really fresh.
Buffalo wings are the best around.
Sometimes they have the best margarita around. Other times it’s just pretty good.
They have several tv’s with the top games on.
That’s all I’ve got to say about that.

LOVE this little gem! Discovered it by chance because it was walking distance from our resort & am so happy we did. There isn’t much atmosphere, but don’t let the outward appearance fool you! Staff was warm, friendly & very accommodating. We tried a variety of menu items (from seafood to bar snacks) over the course of our trip, all of which were wonderful. «Catch of the day» specials were very fresh & deliciously prepared. The venue is small, so I’m not sure how easily it could accommodate large groups, but that wasn’t a problem for us. Prices were a bit higher than we expected, but we didn’t mind because portions were generous & both the food & service exceeded our expectations.

Within walking distance from the Bel Air resort. Not much to look at from the outside. DO NOT JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER! The food was absolutely incredible. Starting with the fresh tuna ceviche to the flank steak you could cut with a fork. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting great food for the money. Thank you Sardina, we’ll be back!

This is my absolute favorite place in San Jose Del Cabo. I heard of it on Trip Advisor so I had to check it out. My husband and I were not disappointed at all. In fact, I can’t wait to go back soon. First of all, it is right next to Coral Baja Hotel on Transpensular Hwy. If you are not careful, you will miss it. We did. When I said, next to Coral Baja, I mean next door (also Trader Dicks). Not across the street as we thought. We went there for breakfast. It was not busy at all. We sat outside, they had fans blowing. Hubby ordered the seafood omelet, which he could not stop raving about. Till this day he still talks about that omelet. I ordered the simple French toast but man was it delicious. I told the waiter, I wish it was lunch so I can order some sashimi and he said, why not now. He prepared the freshest tuna sashimi for me ever. It melted in our mouths. AGAIN, DID I SAY FAVORITE PLACE? YEAH. I would have been back for dinner if it was not for Hurricane Odile that struck that night!

Our first night at Coral Baja, and our first in Baja, we decided to go to Sardina Cantina as it right outside the gate of the resort. We figured it’s a mexican restaurant in Mexico and not flashy by any means, so we grabbed about 900 pesos (thinking food would be reasonable) and headed up to get some dinner. We were greeted at the door and shown to a table immediately. After seeing the menu, I noticed that the average price per item was 170 – 200 pesos so I knew I would be cutting it close. I had 2 corona’s (No A/​C and it was hot) and my wife and oldest ordered margarita’s. There was no price on the menu for drinks, but didn’t think much of it. The waiter asked if they would like the Cadillac margaritas… of course they did… and he yells to the bartender «DOS CADILLAC MARGARITAS» to which the bartender yells back «DOS CADILLAC»
My wife and oldest daughter split a chicken quesadilla, little one had chicken tenders and I had the ahi tuna tacos. The quesadilla and the chicken tenders were average at best, but the ahi tacos were masterfully prepared and I loved them!
The bill came in a just over 1200 pesos… the Cadillac margaritas were 15USD each as I found out… Holy hell, I was glad I had some american dollars stashed in my wallet as they don’t take credit cards. I felt bad only being able to tip the guy 5 bucks (that left us with zero dollars), but really felt like they gouged us on the price. After talking to some of the local’s we found some truly amazing and MUCH more affordable choices out there.

The food was great. Our server was awesome and super friendly. We had the ceviche for an app, filet mignon, and blackened ahi cooked to perfection. 6 margaritas and wonderful food cost $ 100 US. We will definitely return. Be aware it is right off the road.

I love this place. We’ve been coming for over ten years, as we have a little condo nearby in La Jolla. They do whatever they can to make you feel at home, they remember our names, and they have very good food. They really do. Eva Marie, one of the mom and pop owners, is likely to stop by your table and visit with you, sharing her infectious smile and good mood. And, the portions are not small. Everything is right about Sardina’s.

My favorite most favoritist restaurant in all of Cabo or maybe in all the world!!! It’s on Highway 1 right in front of Coral Baja, World Mark Resort.
It doesn’t matter what you order it’s all fantastic. Their butter is even exceptional. It’s a garlic herb butter and it is so divine if a turd was covered in it I would eat it.
I always start off with the steamed mussels here. They give you plenty. So much so that it could be a meal. Their filet mignon is so tendor you do not need a knife. I have had halibut and yellowtail here with their cilantro sauce. The fish is as fresh as you can get and if you like cilantro you will LOVE their sauce.
Service is excellent and they make the best margarita around. Prices are pretty reasonable considering the quality. They also make a great breakfast here. It is situated off a highway so location is not ideal but who cares about location when everything is so incredible.
