Perfection of the highest order and quality. The attention to detail from the choices of ingredients to their preparation and even to the plates was a masterclass in excellence of what Mexican food should and can be.
Went for the tequila experience and stayed for more. The owner shared with us his passion and it was enlightening.
Set against the backdrop of the uninspired restaurants of San José, do yourself a favor and go straight to Marcelino.

Everything we had was fantastic. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Best mole sauce ever. Best shrimp tacos. Even the salsa served with chips, so good! It was a fire roasted/charred salsa - so tasty! All the flavors, even our drinks, were so complex! Please go a little out of your way to make a stop here - it’ll be well worth your time!

An excellent experience. Creative cocktails, homemade salsitas, chalupas to order. Fish tacos were super fresh and amazing. Grilled veggies with agave syrup rounded out the flavor palate. The servers were attentive and helpful. If only we had room for dessert…

We had an exceptionally late lunch here. With the help of the owner, we chose from an unusual menu and were not disappointed. Best meal so far in San Jose del Cabo, which is saying something in a town with some darn good food! This casual eatery, an open patio with an extensive bar and hand chosen dishes and decor, may easily be over looked when walking to the mercado, however, you should plan on pulling up a chair and making time for the best meal you’ll have in Cabo.
My husband and I have two pet peeves regarding dining in San Jose, one is that we really appreciate Mexican wine and very few restaurants offer a reasonable selection. Hector, owner of Marcelino, has put together an array of terrific wines from his home country and we were over-the-moon choosing what to drink. Our second pet peeve is that local San Jose restaurants play American pop music rather than anything from Mexico. Again Hector chose to highlight his country’s gifts including the music and we were grateful!
The food was beyond excellent and Hector took his time in explaining where each dish came from and even shared with me the secret to a good verde sauce. We will be coming back for breakfast before we head home . Don’t leave San Jose until you try this place, make it a priority to swing by and enjoy the best this town has to offer.

¡Que delicioso, que chido! This is the type of place you want to find while on vacation. A place where you get real food and support a family. I'll be back, perhaps every single day, for different meals at different times.

This is a great little restaurant tucked away in a neighborhood on the outskirts of San Jose del Cabo and is ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE VISIT.
We got the birria and the gordita with poached egg. Both were fantastic flavors and textures. Everyone working here was very nice too!

Came here for breakfast and had the best green juice! The food is authentic and super tasty. It’s a little off the main strip area but don’t let that dissuade you. Looked a little different than one of the photos posted but it’s legit. Will be back!
