Los Cabos, a family owned and operated Mexican restaurant, has been serving up goodness in Cullman since opening in April 2003.
Manager Adam Flores’ family owns the local favorite.
“We’ve been in the restaurant business for a long time,” Flores said. “My family started working in Mexican restaurants in the early 1990s. They even became partners at a Mexican restaurant in Nashville. Sadly that partnership didn’t work out, so my family moved to Alabama where they continued to work at learning the trade.”
Flores said one of his uncles has incredible cooking skills, which is why the menu at Los Cabos is so special.
“The majority of Mexican restaurants have the ‘same’ menu; however, thanks to his skills we’ve been able to set our food apart from the rest by making the recipes our own,” he said. “With his cooking skills and our desire to grow, my family decided to open Los Cabos. Our theme has always been beach, sun and fun, and you can see that from our pirate logo. We’re definitely not a seafood restaurant, but we’re proud to serve a variety of meats in the best quality we can get and feel proud of.”
With so many yummy menu options, Flores said it’s hard to pick one item as a favorite.
“Our fajitas are always a popular choice among our regular customers, especially the Especial Los Cabos,” Flores said. “It has all of our meat items, including a fall off the bone portion of ribs. It’s so good and the portion is huge. Our locals enjoy a variety of vegetables, so our Fajita San Lucas is packed with an array of grilled vegetables such as squash, zucchini, mushrooms, etc. My uncle invented a massive burrito which we call Mr. Burrito and this is also a huge hit. Our cheese dip is made using the best quality cheese in the market, Land O Lakes Extra Melt cheese; it’s not cheap but the quality and flavor is unbeatable. Nachos Mexicanos is also a top seller. Flour chips, steak, chicken and shrimp, cheese dip – it’s delicious. One of our newest and hottest entrees is the Quesabirrias! Our birria is cooked here at the restaurant and we serve the Quesabirrias with a side of esquite. I truly could go on and on with our food. We’re truly proud of the food we serve.”
Flores said his whole family is in the restaurant business, but Los Cabos in Cullman is run by his uncle and aunt, Carlos and Liz Flores.
“We just want to thank the community for their support and love these 22 years we’ve been in business,” he said. “We have some of the best customers any business could ask for. That’s the reason we strive to serve the best items and not compromise when it comes to quality and flavor. We’ve evolved during these nearly three decades and have learned so much from everyone, so thank you for your support and patronage.”
Flores said the family is open to ideas for specials if customers have anything in mind. He also said to stay tuned for some upcoming news.
“Thanks for the opportunity to share a bit of our story,” he said. “Thank you again to the community for supporting our dream.”
Los Cabos is located at 1600 Second Ave. SW in Cullman.
