Truth be told, we went to mass to pray for our sins on this Sunday morning...however, the heat was unbearable! Thus, after 5 minutes at mass, we made our way to Happy Ending Cantina to get our Sunday funday going! As some of the first patrons of the day, the bar keep let us take our first shot of tequila behind the bar - we knew we were in good hands! Prices cannot be beat - we had 6 beers, 5 shots of tequila, a quesadilla, burrito and 2 tacos for $27 USD!!! We did not make it back a second time, but if we are back in Cabo we will return!!! I LOVE THIS BAR!!!

We read prior reviews and were attracted by the competitive drink prices compared to other places fronting the Marina. It was definitely a great choice and we have a fantastic time. Set back only one street from the Marina and easy to find , it’s a pretty cool, laid back place with friendly bar staff and comfy bar stools. We settled in for a few hours to enjoy some refreshments and decided to order some food whilst there. Food was definitely a surprise to the upside and it’s the first menu I have ever seen where they actually advise that some meal will feed more than one person. For example, Nachos – noted to easily serve 2-4 people, and from memory, the price was USD $10.00. We also ordered Tacos at USD $2.00 each. Other meals were mostly in the USD $11.00 - $16.00 price range. The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful. We will for certain come back to visit when next in Cabo.

Actually, the title of the review is not totally honest as I made it back to Happy Endings last year, but did not write a review. Sorry about that Happy Endings! I love this place. We have been coming to Happy Endings for many years, but it seems as though their prices stay the same. You can pay in dollars or pesos and they actually give you a fair exchange rate. Sorry, but I care about those things. The deals are great. Where else can you get 2 beers and 2 large shots of tequila for $5? The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE. This time in I ordered the ribs. They were incredible. The meat just about fell off of the bones on its own. That is how tender they were. The flavor was also great. My wife had the El Jefe burrito and enjoyed it immensely. I helped her finish it because it was so big. We also enjoy the ambience of Happy Endings. We are getting a bit older so we only venture in during the day. During the day, you can expect a very laid back environment with good tunes playing and people enjoying lunch. The staff if friendly and well-trained. Even if the owners don't happen to be there, which they weren't today, you would never know it because the staff provided great service and kept the place clean. The only down side to my visit was that I promptly managed to knock over one of my shots of tequila (no, I was not drunk just clumsy). I was hoping maybe I could get it replaced on the house since I did it in the presence of the server, but that was not to be. No worries though, as I am the responsible party. Besides, it was only worth about $1. We ended up getting a second round of the beer tequila combo regardless. All-in-all, Happy Endings may just be my "must go to" place in Cabo. Great food, great staff, great environment, and great prices. Happy Endings proves that inexpensive does not always mean cheap. There is a big difference!

K6953DTmikec, I really enjoyed reading your review and sincerely appreciate you have visited Happy Ending so many times over the years. Yes, just as you wrote, our "Promo" of 2 ice cold beers AND 2 huge double-shots of our super-smooth tequila is always only $5....for all 4 drinks! This is the same price we've charged since the first hour we opened in October 2008....almost 14 years ago! Our huge order of Baby Back Ribs, with all the sides, for only $12 is the best deal in the history of mankind! So is our El Jefe Super Burrito. It's 8 inches long by 8 inches around and is the most delicious super-burrito in the world! I'm so happy that "Happy Ending may just be my 'must go to' place in Cabo." I owe you a free replacement of the double shot of tequila you accidentally knocked over. Next time you visit, please ask for me. If I'm not there, and you have your phone handy, show this response to the Manager. He will promptly serve you a FREE double-shot of Vertigo. Best wishes, Gene, "El Jefe."

Casual friendly downtown Cabo restaurant with decent food/drinks at affordable prices. Burger & fries $9, $2 tacos. They aren’t going to win a culinary award but unlike so many Cabo restaurants they are a fair price for a decent lunch. I like this place.

Having a place like The Happy Ending Cantina has made Wintering in CSL the last few years even more enjoyable than could be expected. The owner Gene "El Hefe" has welcomed me and has treated me like family. He surrounds himself with a top notch staff of bartenders, waiters and waitresses. Also lets not forget the shot girls and his kitchen staff who are equally amazing. You can't beat the daily special of $5 for two beers and two double shots of tequila. The food is fantastic and very affordable as well. The location is perfect and it is the most fun bar in Cabo. The bar has a great group of regulars which also makes it feel like home. Happy Endings will always be my go to and Gene will always be "El Hefe". See you in October!!

chisas13, although it sounds like "El Hefe" it's actually spelled "El Jefe," Hahahaha, or as they say in Old Mexico, "jajajaja." Your review is one of the nicest ever written. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a long review and for rating it with all 5-Stars. I agree that our staff is the best in Cabo. Many have been with us for years and remember remember their repeat customers. Our "Promo" consisting of two ice cold beers and two double shots of our super-smooth tequila is still only $5....for all 4 drinks. As you know, our super-low prices never change depending on the time you visit, whether your are male or female, or if you only want one drink at a time. We never have gimmicky pricing schemes like Happy Hour, Ladies Nights or 2X1. The Promo, as well as all our other drink prices are in effect today, tomorrow, next week, next month, New Year's Eve, next year, 24/7 and 365! I hope to see you in October for Happy Ending's 14th Anniversary Party! Gene, "El Jefe," Happy Ending Cantina & Boutique.

Happy Ending is an awesome full bar with a small kitchen offering tacos, burritos, nachos, hamburgers; we split the super burrito ($8) & had 4 Pacifico beers ($8) for $22USD including tip! Can’t beat it & friendly staff too! They also sell cool t-shirts for $20. 2nd time we went was Easter AM & enjoyed Tequila Sunrise & Bloody Mary!

This is hands down the best bar/restaurant in Cabo and arguably the best bar in Mexico. Litterly 50 yards off the Marina but with prices from 1987. $2 beers with a huge selection and a great food menu. I ordered a full rack of ribs with fries and beans, 2 tacos, 2 beers, 2 waters and 2 shots of tequila- $28. If I would’ve paid $5 more I would’ve gotten 2 full racks of ribs! It’s insane. Owner Gene came by and introduced himself, told us he bought the building back in 1987, owns it outright so has no rent. Purposely keeps prices the same as 1987. He said keeping prices fair keeps people coming back. He’s right. My 2nd time back in 4 days and I’ll probably be back in a few days.I walked 2 blocks away and got 2 cups of ice cream and paid $21!!!! Had a full dinner here with tip for $33!!!!

I really loved this place, it was my favorite place to go out drinking with friends until yesterday when I arrived with my friends they treated us super pedantically, they didn't want to give us chairs "because they were waiting for more people" when everything was almost unoccupied, we tried to take a chair on two occasions and they took it away from us. When we ordered the waiters treated us as if they were doing us a favor, for obvious reasons we decided to leave since they made us feel too uncomfortable. Even when paying, for obvious reasons we were NOT going to leave a tip and the waiter got upset and said that we would be banned from the place. What a shame really, it was one of the places that I loved the most. TERRIBLE SERVICE.

Great food and drinks for very reasonable prices unlike some places that have been price gauging. Love that this place honors and shows appreciation to our first responders, including but not limited to law enforcement and fire fighters. Highly recommend

Ambassador332779, I really enjoyed reading the title of your review, "Love this place." It speaks volumes! Thank you for rating your review with all 5-Stars and for all your wonderful comments and recommendations. I love that you "love" Happy Ending being a "place that honors and shows appreciation to our First Responders."

The Bougie folks can just walk on by and go somewhere else! You can describe this as a dive bar, or a no frills bar- but it is a must stop for cold $2 beers, and good food. You’ll spend more on T-shirts than on beers. Don’t stop at Señor Frogs- keep walking down the street to Happy Ending Cantina.

Everything from our airport departure, flight and transfer to Cabo went smoothly under the covid rules, including the required negative testing to return to the USA. Felt very safe at Happy Endings and everywhere we went in Cabo. We love coming here for the atmosphere, music and 2 beers and 2 shots of tequila for $5. Enjoyed the chicken tostadas as well. Gene, the owner, and the rest of the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Masks upon entering and going to your table, temperature checks and distancing were practiced.

The owner Gene (El Jefe) has a great place to hang out, watch sports, have drinks and enjoy a selection of great food! He has kept the prices at a very reasonable rate (the way they used to be!) when costs at most Cabo establishments have soared. We found ourselves going back several times and we also met some great new friends. I highly recommend Happy Ending!

We stopped by for the $2 beers and got a carne asada quesadilla to share. The quesadilla was big enough for four of us to share as a snack and was quite tasty. The $2 beers was of course also amazing. The service was fast and the atmosphere was fun. If you’re looking for a quick, cheap bite, then Happy Endings is your place!
