    La comida es toda una experiencia, hubo demasiado ruido pero se lo atribuyo a que había una mesa con muchas personas que les gustaba platicar gritando, normalmente no es así.

    Amazing food and ambience Service staff were very friendly but at times seemed indifferent. The level of service was not up to par with the quality of the food. I would highly recommend based on the amazing food

    We loved our date night at Carbon Cabron! Service was excellent, atmosphere is really nice, and the food was outstanding. We truly enjoyed everything we ordered. Wine pairing suggestions were perfect. This is a great spot for a date night or celebration dinner. We've been a few times before and plan to continue visiting. It's our favorite spot for a good steak in Los Cabos. Thank you for a special night!!
