We went to the Giggling Marlin after being very disappointed in Cabo Wabo. Great choice! Their prices were great, we had beers and shots and had their chips and guacamole, it was great! There were some younger people doing the shots hanging upside down, it was fun to watch, but me do that, no thank you! :) The bartender was... More

I got to hang up side down next to the Giggling Marlin....where else can you do this? It was fabulous. The Giggling Marlin is a great bar and restaurant in downtown Cabo. This should be your first stop! More

Shocked to see so many poor reviews. I liked this place. Was 21 when I went with my gf. Pretty roudy atmosphere with fun competitions for the guests to participate. Even danced in a line amd everyone there gets a free shot. I knew ahead of the time to avoid the shots they offer at your table, but did see... More

It was fun to watch the show but if you get picked to go to stage, be prepared to dance, be in a drinking game, or have your boobs get grabbed or butt slapped by the host. More

Went there with family and friends and we went to sit down and they came by with Jello shots and they make you think that you are getting them for free and then some big guy comes around and says that we owe him 20.00 for the shots. We say ok and give him the 20.00 and then we ask... More

Do not waste your money here. This place acts like they're all about the the "party," but what they don't tell you is that they will charge you for anything you participate in. We stopped in during the week of 3/9/09, and they were doing a train around the bar giving away free shots of Tequila (if you can call... More

My wife, 3 friends and I were in Cabo from 1/19-1/26. Hands down, the most fun we had was at the Giggling Marlin. As a place to eat, the restaurant is great. Reasonable prices, and big-boy portions. I had the tamales and never finished the plate. Drinks were the best tasting out of any of the bars/clubs we visited. Not... More
