Great upstairs place in the heart of San Jose - they make fresh salsa right at the table and have great drink specials - NICE

Had lunch at Don Sanchez Cantina and the food was great! Great chips and salsa and excellent burgers. Drinks were made well and not weak in the alcohol department. We ate out on the upper patio which gave us great views for people watching. Our waiter was quite attentive and the price was very reasonable. We came back on Friday... More

Our first visit was the result of the positive reviews we read. We had a fun time and enjoyed good food and an attentive serving staff. An entertaining live Cuban band entertained us and got us moving. We combined our visit here with the Thursday evening gallery walk thru the art district in San Jose del Cabo. Our margharitas were...

Good atmosphere, great Cuban live band in evenings with free salsa lessons an hour before the band (wed-Sat). Service is unattentive and the creme brulee was bad.

Just returned from Cabo and first priority is to warn all travelers about this place - RUN AWAY! We decided to go to Don Sanchez after a recommendation from both our driver from the airport and our hotel. As a group of girls, they recommended the place as a great atmosphere for drinks and live music on a Friday. We... More

Dear ST Chicago, At first glance I was quite disturbed by your trip advisor post, however after discussing the situation with both Managers and bartenders I realized my concerns weren’t warranted. After piecing the evening together with those 4 accounts of the situation as well our closed circuit camera system this is what happened. A group of 5 ladies arrived... More

We visited this upstairs restuarant for dinner one evening and were pleasantly surprized. The specials included sea bass with yam and a surf and turf menu. The food was exceptional! Beautiful presentation and the desserts are to die for!

Interesting flair on Mexican food and prepared excellent. Seating is upstairs; inside or out. Dessert was Mud Pie with fresh mint in it. Delicious! Very friendly staff. Probably my favorite meal we had on this trip. We travel to Cabo regularly.

My wife and I had a very nice lunch here. It was noisy and hot on the street, but a short flight of stairs brought us to the restaurante with a shady outdoor seating area-much quieter and a nice view. Julio made a very tasty, fresh salsa right next to our table-the memory of that still lingers. We had some... More

Very good food and service. The spring roll stuffed with a Yucatan-style pulled pork along with the Chocolate Clams as appetizers were superb. For entrees we had the Chile Rellano prepared in a pastry crust, Sea Bass Veracreuziana and the Lamb Shanks Achiote. All well prepared. Definitely a place to keep on a short list. They do live entertainment at... More
