The funny shit is watching them trying to hit on my girlfriend, who is definitely not from Cali (and therefore soooo-not-laid-back-in-that-Cali-way) and getting their feelings hurt. Am I missing out on something? Has anyone who's been to these places enjoyed them? What the fuck am I missing?

Cabo Wabo is like a Hard Rock for the tourist crowd there. I've spent a grand total of 1/2 hour in there ever. And I go to Cabo at least once a year. Never been to El Squid Roe.
There's a tacky bar in the courtyard outside of Cabo Wabo that has ridiculously cheap beer (and they gave me a free Budweiser cow-patterned cowboy hat for no apparent reason the last time I was there - wanted to keep it for some future Halloween costume, but I'm pretty sure I parted company with it sometime later in the night's festivities that night) and the rickety Mexico bar vibe. I recommend that place and the (purported) smallest bar in the world, which is in Cabo. Especially if you are in a group of 10 or so people and you can force the tacky cruiseboat tourists who are there out the door quickly. I'll have to get the name of the place from one of my friends, because I'm blanking on it right now, but it makes for a good evening. You can pick your music from the CDs behind the bar and make small talk with the bartendress all evening, while only being annoyed by your own drunk friends, instead of by drunk strangers.
Going to Cabo Wabo and El Squid Roe is the equivalent of going to Senor Frogs in Cancun. Who recommended those places?* People at the hotel?
*(please don't tell me it was Mr Man)
ETA: smallest bar = Slim's Elbow Room
