“Delicious food. My husband loved the All You Can Eat Fish & Shrimp. My beef enchiladas were awesome!“

“A true hidden gem in an unassuming restaurant. Words cannot describe how fantastic the breakfast burritos are here, easily the best we’ve ever had and our mouths are watering typing this out. From the sheer size of the breakfast burritos to the flavors, everything is fantastic and beyond what we ever could've hoped for stopping by here. The parking situation is not great as there’s not many spots around the side, but figure out how to get in here if you can. The staff is extremely friendly and the interior is clean. We ordered a sausage and cheese burrito; chorizo, egg, and cheese burrito; and a cheese quesadilla. Every single thing was out of this world. We could write again how great the breakfast burritos are, but we recommend you just go and try it. By far one of the best hidden gems we have found in the state of Texas. Make the trip, it’s worth it.“

“Los Cabos is my favorite place for the best Mexican food in Port Isabel, TX. The food was excellent and cost less than a meal at MacDonalds. The bean soup is famous! So much food, I had to get a takeout box.“

“My mom, daughter and I drove around for a while because most restaurants were packed. Then we drove by this place and saw it wasn't and decided to try it out. It was so good!!! We both got the mexican plate (taco and enchiladas) and daughter got queso and chips (she's picky). All of it was really good. The host and the waiter were cool. I would definitely come back for food and service!“
