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

This is the place you go before heading into Cabo Wabo, the problem is you may not leave. The entertainment staff is awesome, and word to the wise, if you offend easily, maybe this place is not for you. The games were all interactive, embarrassing, and hillarious. We had so much fun the first night we were in here we... more

This place is great. The nightly dance routine is hilarious, and the staff really knows how to work the crowd. Leave your inhibitions (and sobriety) at the door, because chances are you'll be plucked from the crowd to participate. Probably a bit rowdy and risque for some, but if you're that uptight you should probably have gone to Palm Springs,... more

Not exactly sure about the food (we only drank), and I didn't pay for my drinks (so not sure about the price), but whatever it was, it was well worth every penny (or peso!)!! Hands down, one of the funnest bars I have ever been to. Lots of additional side shows, audience involvement and other entertainment for all ages as... more

Just like a few places in Mexico, if they shove a shot down your mouth...expect to pay for it. They will grab you, open up your mouth and poor a shot down your throat before you can tell them no...Then they expect you to pay $4 for it. Other than that, we had a lot of fun here. more

The Giggling Marlin is a Cabo disappointment. All other aspects of Cabo are wonderful. The GM failed to accurately represent thier menu and prices to tourists who are looking for a value-resturant. The signs outside represented low prices, while the menus on the table represented higher prices. It was bait and switch. In addition, the wait staff failed to tally... more

Greatness!

You can't miss The Giggling Marlin, right on the main drag in Cabo, just across the road from the plaza behind Cabo Wabo. You'll want to go one evening for the show put on by the staff and other patrons (and maybe even you). Depending on who's involved, there will be varying levels of raunchiness and humour, and you'll certainly... more

So, okay, my old man and I are a little older than the average patron of the Giggling Marlin, or at least that was my perception of the place. We had a fantastic time watching the mayhem going on around us while being treated with courtesy and respect. The drinks were excellent and the food was some of the best... more
