My brother and his girlfriend are fequent visitors to San Jose, so for my first trip down they made sure they took me to Guacamaya's. It was fantastic! The food was fabulous, the staff were fantastic, the margaritas were perfect, and there was great live music. I will definitely return to Guacamaya's everytime I am in San Jose.

Thanks to the advice of one of the ladies at our hotel, we tried this place. We had read about it on Trip Advisor as well. It was great. I recommend the Tacos al pastor, a marinated pork taco with cilantro, onions and pineapple. We also tried the stuffed potatoes, also very good but huge! The sopes were good as... More

I have eaten at Guacamaya's 3 times in the past 2 trips to San Jose Del Cabo. The food is that good! Start with the cheese appitizer, you will kick yourself if you don't. The stone bowls have enough food for two people to share, but they make great left overs if you each order your own! You can't lose!... More

After many trips to SJDC, we finally made it to Guacamaya's. Loved the courtyard seating. I wish I had taken more time looking at the menu and asking more questions. I would have made different choices. But, all-in-all, I would definitely go back again.

We were part of a large group lunch at Guacamaya's on a recent trip to Cabo. The food and drinks were delicious, the servers were friendly and upbeat, and the live music was a nice touch. The open air/thatch ceiling, wall murals, and colorful chairs make for a fun, relaxing atmosphere. We'll be back!

Guacamaya's was recommended to us by one of the taxi drivers and it didn't disappoint. When we pulled up, I felt like we were in the barrio, but stepped inside and it was nice and quaint. I loved the outdoor patio. Our tab was very reasonable for a group of four including drinks and the service was the beyond good.... More

I was looking forward to going here as I had heard there were lineups to get it. And yes there are lineups, but why? The food is overpriced for what you get, and quite honestly way to greasy, just take the leftovers home and look at them in the morning. I really wanted to like this place, but with so... More

Found this restaurant a few years ago through TripAdvisor and absolutely loved it. My family makes sure to go there every year. Its got a great local feel and a wonderful atmosphere. Since its not on the main drag its a little less pricey, which is always nice! There was live music, twinkly lights in their tree, and a wonderful... More
