Very nice atmosphere with Cuban Spirit. The food needs. The dishes are not presented in the best way. The service is quite slow, but this is really compensated by the atmosphere that you enjoy there.

We have enjoyed each night at Mama Mia! Wonderful service staff, ( David is great!)! We've been sampling different items and have loved everything. Highly recommend the stuffed avocado and coconut shrimp. Fish tacos are delicious! Flan and coffee gelato are wonderful! I tried octopus for the first time. The flavor was also delicious but in some bites there was a slimy feel that I didn't quite like. Nightly entertainment from accustic guitar and singer to Mexican dancers and Mariachi band have not disappointed!

Great casual place for lunch or dinner. Huge variety of food and drink choices are 3 pages full. Be sure to get there for Hapoy Hour, 2 for 1 drinks! We got the pizza and it was thin and delicious. If you’re up for a casual off the beach spot, look no further!

Love this place! Delicious food/drinks for breakfast, lunch, & dinner. We tried both fresh juices, iced amaretto latte, dirty chai latte, mimosas, chilaquiles, shrimp chile relleno, mole enchiladas, iberic breakfast, arrachera baguette & the machaca plate. Literally everything was delicious!! Service was fast & friendly. I loved having this at the resort we were staying at. Thank you all for the amazing service!

Good food and location. We're always looking for a place to have a cocktail with our toes in the sand. It seems like every night they have something going on. We want to check our their live music on Friday nights. Turtles are welcome here. Everyone wanted to come by and say hi to Henri. She enjoyed the chicken fajitas as well.

This was our first time visiting San Jose Del Cabo and we chose Mamma Mia’s because it was on the beach. Evan was our waiter and he was excellent. Very attentive, friendly, and courteous. It was our 23rd wedding anniversary and he made it special for us and the food was excellent and the ambiance was perfect. We will definitely be back. Thank you Evan for taking such good care of my wife and I.
