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.

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!!
