Los Cabos Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Erin J.

    I'd been looking forward to hitting up Los Cabos with a friend of mine from town when I came to visit a couple of weeks ago. We were warmly greeted by the manager (owner?) and seated at a table. We made our choices from the expansive menu. A larger party seated by us was just getting their food, so we waited for the server to acknowledge he'd been seated again. After about 15 minutes with nary a glance from anyone working at Los Cabos, we put our coats back on and headed for the door. The same guy who greeted us wished us a pleasant evening...as in, the SAME GUY who'd greeted us 15 minutes prior! I thanked him, and then told him we were leaving because we'd sat there for 15 minutes without anyone coming to the table. I was so disappointed. Los Cabos moved in shortly after I moved to Chicago, and I'd heard great things about the place, but I'm not on Main Street very often on the rare occasion I come to visit, so I hadn't yet been. Based on this experience, I'm reluctant to return.

    Well, here goes my first ever 1 star review on Yelp. This place was AWFUL. I should have been clued in when they brought out chips to the table that were actually so stale they were soft. REALLY? A Mexican joint that can't even do the chips right? My meal was total blandness and lacked any authentic Mexican taste whatsoever, but I ate it because I was hungry. BIG MISTAKE. Later that night I spent several hours bent over the toilet throwing up every bite, and my gut still hurts today (the day after). I don't know if it was food poisoning or what, but it wasn't fun. You couldn't PAY me to go back to this place. Beware!

    Awesome outdoor seating. Wonderful staff. Cheap margs on Thursday. Chicken milanasa is to die for. My favorite restaurant to hang out with friends, especially during the summer on the patio! Some dishes are just ok, but any regular will find those really magic few.

    Food was average. Pretty bland for Mexican food. The big problem I had was with our waitress. She was not friendly at all and would not pick up our plates. We had to hand them to her. It was pretty obnoxious and made her seem quite arrogant.

    Perhaps my lack of delicious Mexican fare out west makes this food taste ultra amazing, but when I come home this is the first (and often only) place I demand to eat. The pollo con mole is highly recommended. Excellent prices, customer service, & food.

    When at UNI, I used to eat here with my family after basketball and football games when I was cheerleading. It was always good. Two nights ago, I was back in Cedar Falls and decided to stop in again for dinner. The waitress brought the chips and salsa right away. You can tell that it is made in house by the chunks and the flavor of it. Though I did think it could be a little less runny by draining it a bit. I had the shrimp diabla which came out spicy but not overwhelming. The flavor of the sauce was great and it had me spooning up more and more of it until their was none left. The rice and beans that came with it are just as good as I remembered them. I also had a jumbo margarita that could have used a bit more tequila in it. If you want to try their best drink, go with the Loco.

    This Mexican restaurant has been kept a secret far too long! It rocked! I got the halibut and shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas.... The flavor had me proposing to the chef by meal end! Serving Size was plenty and the price was sooooo reasonable... Actually I expected to pay more! The three of us ate for a little over $40. Spectacular flavor on every entree !!!! Was not impressed by the salsa with the awesome chips. But I loved the halibut shrimp fajitas! Went with family! My dad got the Combo plate that had talapia and octopus bits it was delightful!!! Server was very attentive to our needs.

    I have eaten at most of the Mexican sit-down restaurants the Cedar Valley has to offer, as well as having had real Mexican food and eaten at many upper-class restaurants. I can say definitively that with the exception of Lomitas in Fort Dodge, this is my favorite Mexican restaurant! The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are friendly and attentive (but not hangers-on). The food is GREAT. Portion size is just right ( I love leftovers, especially ones that re-heat well) and quality is delicious. The arroz con pollo is my favorite, I've never been able to find a better version. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in CF/Waterloo combined. Love sitting out on the patio in the spring/summer, the margaritas are phenomenal, and the food I had was excellent! Not to mention the salsa is perfect! I am not sure why others are harsh on the reviews I read, but as a native of the area, it has always been great!

    True, some dishes are "painfully average" but others will knock your socks off. It's absolutely worth the time finding those dishes (secret hint: chicken milinesa, enchiladas Blanca's, fajita quesadilla, tortilla soup). And on top of that, the sweetest, hardest workers serving with a smile and eager to greet you by name on your next return. A great asset to our downtown!

    So average its sad...no bien. Nothing special except for the awesome Main St. location...and wonderful out door seating for people watching on Main. Maybe they could just sell the business to someone that will make it worth eating at....then Cedar Falls would have a great Mexican restaurant and people could enjoy ethnic food on Main St....that would add to a great little downtown experience.

    Okay, where to begin. One I am from Cedar Falls and I currently live here. But I am a San Diego resident for the past 11 years. This was the worst Mexican food ever. The service was absolutely horrible. I walked in and I was seated. And forgotten about for 20 minutes. The waiters were in the kitchen singing songs to each other. And sitting behind the register on their phones. They sat me on the wall in a booth, the waiters couldn't see me if they tried because the divider is 6' tall. Two waiters walked past me and wouldn't even make eye contact. Finally some joe-schmoe "accidentally" came towards me and I looked at him and he said "oh sorry" and went to leave and I said "NO! I've been ready!" He couldn't have looked more defeated that I caught him. So he takes my order and the entire time he is looking at me like I'm freaking stupid, total dumb dog look in his face the entire time. My michelada was sub par, do you want this gringa to come show your people how to make a good one? I mean I've been to Tijuana enough times that I have seen them made and been taught by one fish taco joint personally. And don't act so surprised that I know good Mexican beer like Sol. I ordered the Tacos Al Carbon (steak), I asked to have the toppings on the side, no big deal I like to make my own taco. So they bring me my food, I got a tablespoon of pico, some lettuce, dollop of guacamole, and a pinch of cheese--FOR FOUR TACOS. I asked for my pico, and then I found out I was charged $1.45 for pico. Then I asked for limes for my tacos because who doesn't eat "street tacos" without limes?! The service sucked so bad that I had to go to the bar to get the limes myself. And then my waiter wanted to charge me for the limes after he found out I went behind his back and got them. Do not go here. I will never ever ever come back. Or maybe I will.

    I drive through Cedar Falls about once a week and usually like to stop in at Pablo's but they were closed so I thought I'd check out Los Cabos. Service was pretty good and the outside area was pretty nice. Chips and salsa were decent. I got the special, Steak Fajitas. Somehow onions were buttery and general theme was lacking in flavor, though I was impressed I got 4 tortillas. In a pinch I may give a second chance, but not if Pablo's if open... Steak quesadilla with cayenne salsa....MMMMMM

    The margaritas were great. However, the service was mediocre and i found a piece of hair in my food. Very disappointing. I would not go back.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in the cedar valley. Great food- Always hot & comes in a timely manner. Everyone who works there is friendly & helpful. They have a nice area with tables outside too. Prices very reasonable for what you get.

    Pretty solid Mexican food. Nothing too special, but always decent. Good lunch deals. Large portions. The salsa is probably my favorite thing about it. Staff is friendly and helpful. The outdoor patio right on Main St is nice when it's warm out. Finding close parking can be a pain, especially on the weekends, but that's pretty standard for the location.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
