The service at Cabo Fish Taco was great! Our server was lovely about making sure I had safe GF options. It would’ve been nice if j could’ve enjoyed the chips and salsa, but the chips were made in a fryer with other items. Drinks were reasonably priced and tasty!

Visited the restaurant on a Sunday night and met the Chelsea supporting owner who was friendly and well mannered. We had tacos which were very good, simple but tasty. The bill was also reasonable although we did feel like the dinosaurs due to our age and the rain was insane….

Typical Texan Mexican flavor food, the lime shrimp taco is really good if you like a lot of flavors. The fried plantain is good too. The service is decent. Recommend for family or friends gathering.

Wish I could say it was better than just mediocre. Service was attentive and pleasant. Decor was cheery. But the blackened mahi in our tacos was both dry, bland and the side of beans and rice tasted like something I microwave in a bag at home. Salsa was also tasteless. Don’t like leaving negative reviews as a rule, but that was our experience.

I have visited cabo fish taco before and been very happy with the food and the service. When I went back this time I was very disappointed in both the service and the food. We had to wait a long time to be sat and it seems that even though people were running around nobody even acknowledged are presence and a group began to form at the hostess station. The restaurant had a dingy smell but we were going to be seated outside so I didn't worry much about it. Once we sat the server (female) seemed disgruntled when I had to make a few substitutions on my order related to the dietary needs of my children. The food came out quickly but then our (server) disappeared and I had to request the check from someone else. She never checked on us and never refilled our drinks. The food was just so so and overall I was disappointed in the visit. I'm unlikely to return in the future.

This is a nice place to go and eat safely. Great service. Really good chips and queso. Not wild about some of the food, which is well-presented but lacking in flavor. Grilled tuna salad was one of them that two of us ordered- we both agreed the tuna didn't seem fresh or flavorful (asked for and received it cooked medium), and too many green peppers in the salad (the overall mix of greens just wasn't great). One student with us said something in his fish tacos (can't remember which kind he ordered) reminded him of "toothpaste" flavor, but ate them anyway. Calamari was good but not great. We've eaten here twice but will probably try other places before giving this restaurant another shot.

First I had one of the best margaritas I have ever had - purple haze. The calamari appetizer was good. It wasn't chewy. I ordered the banging baja tacos and they were tasty but the sauce was thick and my husband said it tasted like it was a frozen entree. My son had the carne asada burrito and the tomato sauce the steak was in was overwhelming. It was more sauce than steak. Our other two dinners were steak fajitas and they were basic steak fajitas. Nothing special. Our server was overwhelmed with a large party that kept getting added to. our appetizer showed up before our drinks and took a long time for refills. I think it was the "place to go" but it isn't living up to the hype anymore but there is tequila so...

My husband and I went here on the recommendation from several sources. We ate inside so we could catch a sporting event on the TVs - that's a plus! We got one of the ahi tuna tacos (can't remember the name) and the bang-bang shrimp tacos. Both exceeded our expectations in terms of flavor and quantity. The free chips that come with the chips and salsa were super salty (too much for our taste). Service was great - our waiter was helpful in describing the menu options and patient with us (we took a long time to decide). I would definitely return the next time we're in town.

We like the flavor innovations at Cabo Fish Taco; items seem to have a twist. We frequently order curbside service at their Roanoke location near where we live. Baja Shrimp Tacos with black beans and rice, and Serrano Chicken Salad, are our usuals. Our orders of those items at the Blacksburg location tasted almost as good to us as from the Roanoke location; just a bit less flavor. Curbside pickup was fast and easy.

The chips came out tasty and warm, the lemon shrimp tacos were very nice, carna asada taco tasty - more green peppers than wanted but good amount of meat, service pleasant not fantastic. Cost a little more than I expect for only 2 tacos a serving. $3.50 for a bottle of root beer a bit steep.

There’s a reason Cabo Fish Tacos is number one in Blacksburg. Hopping tonight, a Wednesday you’d think they had an awesome beer special but it is the amazing food and broad bar offerings that is drawing people in. The best was Honey Soy Glazed Salmon Tacos! Delish. Enjoy. Don’t miss this gem with ambiance and energy to spare.

Move-in day at VA Tech and customer service here was getting it done! Two other places in chaos and waiter a no-show so we tried Cabo. Food was delicious and waiter was prompt and attentive even though they were busy. Definitely have their A Game on. Great queso, fish tacos and burritos.

Everything we ordered was quite good. Carne Asada tacos were excellent and salmon salad was a large portion and the salmon was grilled very nicely. Service was very crisp and attentive, which is a bit unusual for a college town restaurant. I thought the meal was great all around so I would recommend Cabo Fish Taco very highly.

I do love this place. I have been here several times before and always had great food. Their fish and seafood is great in their tacos. Their oyster tacos might be my favorite, followed by their tuna burrito. I love their jalapeño mashed potatoes as a side. Highly recommend.

Wow. The food we ordered looked great and was beautifully presented by efficient server. Then, we tasted the salsa with chips. Outrageously hot!! Couldn't eat a third bite. Then, as the side we ordered the avocado pasta. It tasted great but had an overwhelming amount of jalapeños. Couldn't eat that either. We were very disappointed. The fish tacos were very good. We enjoyed those. Without those the meal which was reasonably priced ( if you can eat it) was a bust. The cynical side of me is hoping that it was just an irritated chef that was having to work on New Year's Day that was over zealous with the heat in the food. Otherwise, if this is the daily fare, I cannot imagine this place being rated #1 in Blacksburg. We regretted not just hanging out down the street from there at the Halwa Bakery.....now that was amazing!!!
