HOW IT WORKS & FAQ

Your online deposit secures your table or package for the date you choose — it's not a separate fee. The deposit is applied toward your total: whatever you pay online is subtracted from your balance, and you settle the rest at the venue on the night of your reservation.

The deposit is the amount you pay now to lock in your reservation. The minimum spend (or total) is the full value of your package — bottles, mixers, and table. Your deposit counts toward that total. Example: if your package total is $129 and your deposit is part of it, you only owe the remaining balance at the venue, not $129 on top of the deposit.

You pay the remaining balance in person at El Squid Roe on the night of your reservation. At the venue we accept cash (USD or MXN), Visa and Mastercard. American Express works for your online deposit, but not at the table — plan the balance accordingly.

Your own reserved table for the night, your bottle(s) of premium liquor, all the mixers and setups, and a host to take care of your group. Express skip-the-line entry is included, and the exact bottles and extras are listed on every package before you book.

Yes — a 20% gratuity is already included in the price of every bottle-service table, along with taxes. Nothing extra is added at the venue, and it's noted on your package and on your confirmation. Anything you'd like to leave beyond that for a host who looked after you is entirely up to you.

El Squid Roe is all-ages during the day for breakfast, lunch and dinner — families are welcome. After 10:00 pm it's strictly 18 and over. Everyone must bring a valid government-issued photo ID with a current photo; no exceptions at night.

Come as you are — El Squid Roe has no dress code. Tank tops, t-shirts, shorts, sandals/flip-flops, sneakers, beach attire, jerseys and hats are all welcome. The only real rule is comfortable shoes you can dance in, because you will end up on a table. The doorman reserves the right to refuse entry at their discretion.

The bar is open every day, 9:00 am to 3:00 am, all year long. Breakfast is served 9:00 am–1:00 pm and the kitchen runs until 10:00 pm for lunch and dinner. Dancing is encouraged at all hours — most guests end up doing the macarena on top of their table.

It's music for all ages. Days start with hits from the '70s, '80s and '90s, then the night crosses over to party anthems, hip-hop, rap, EDM and reggaeton. Follow our socials for live performances and special events.

There are several private parking lots around downtown — always check the price before entering. A safe bet is the Puerto Paraíso mall lot, about a 5-minute walk away (roughly $1 USD/hour). Street parking is easier if you arrive earlier in the evening.

The club gets busy after 10:30pm and peaks 11pm–1:30am. For table service, arriving by 11pm gets you the most out of your night. Your reservation holds your table — just check in with the host and give your reservation code.

Yes — deposits are refundable up to 72 hours before your reservation date. Within 72 hours the deposit is non-refundable, but you can reschedule to another date (subject to availability). Use the Manage Booking page or contact us to cancel or move your date.

Yes. You can reschedule to any available future date from the Manage Booking page using your email and confirmation code, as long as the new date has availability.

Three things: your confirmation/e-ticket (on your phone or printed), the original government-issued photo ID of the person who booked, and the original credit card used to pay. Only the reservation holder can claim the table credit.

Right after you pay, you'll see your reservation code on the confirmation screen and receive it by email. Keep that code — you'll use it to check in at the venue and to manage your booking.

Yes. Many packages let you add bottles, upgrades, and add-ons during checkout, and you can always add more with your host on the night. Adding ahead of time guarantees availability for big groups.

El Squid Roe was dreamed up in 1988 by legendary Mexican restaurateur Carlos Anderson — who sketched it on a bar napkin — and his partner Billy, who opened the doors in downtown Cabo San Lucas in 1989. It's a 100% Mexican company, operated today by Operadora Calamar S.A. de C.V., with the brand managed by Cabo Hospitality LLC.

Yes. El Squid Roe sits in the well-lit heart of downtown Cabo San Lucas on the Marina corridor, with door staff who ID everyone — strictly 18+ after 10 pm, physical government ID required — and a team that has been running the party safely since 1989.
