    Terrible food. Service was not good especially when they add an automatic 20% tip. Managers are awful. Found hair and bones in the food. Was way too loud and uncomfortable. I feel bad for my boyfriend on his birthday.

    Cabo Azul was outstanding. Our server Rigo, and others, were so attentive and friendly and courteous. Drinks - outstanding. Valet staff - outstanding. We were a bit late for for our reservation, but as I was told on the phone when I called to say we might be late, they seated us as soon as we arrived after only having to wait a few minutes. The ambience is exactly like it is at the Las Vegas Javier's, which I was hoping for. And last but not least, you cannot beat the ocean view directly across the road. Javier's is a must visit for high-end Mexican fare, at least once.

    Good night, however when we arrived there was no table ready for us, even though we had a rez. We had to wait out front and the host told us she’d text us when a table became available. Confusing since we had a reservation which I clarified with her! We were eventually sat by what seemed like a manager and the rest of the night was great!
