Quite simply, Mango Cantina is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Los Cabos. Pinpointing exactly what I love about this Cabo San Lucas Marina sports bar and restaurant is a little more difficult. There’s just so much. Here you will find a family environment with servers who are friendly, funny, and exceptionally helpful. The views of the marina are mesmerizing, and the menu is on point. Come breakfast, noon, or night to enjoy the Mango Cantina experience. While I love the restaurant’s chilaquiles, we most recently we went for lunch. The limonadas—here made with squeezed limes and mineral water or flat water, if you prefer—provide a perfect pucker to go along with appetizers like the fish or shrimp ceviche and freshly made guacamole. You can nosh on this while watching any of your favorite sports teams on Mango Cantina’s 17 HD flat-screen TVs or its supersized 180-inch TV. And, when I say any, I mean any. The restaurant regularly broadcasts the NHL, NFL, MLB, UFC, NASCAR, NBA, and boxing throughout the week. Ready for the main course? We’re partial to the fish tacos; you can practically taste their freshness and authenticity with every bite. Other highlights include the Touchdown and Super Bowl burgers, Yankees Chicken, and a collection of combo platters that allow you to mix and match comfort food favorites like Angus flank steak, barbecue baby back ribs, chicken breast, shrimp, and fish fillets. Also noteworthy: The restaurant was recently awarded the prestigious Distintivo M, a sought-after government certification identifying model, modern businesses with consistently superior quality control.
