Eat Like a Local: Cabo’s Essential Food Stops

Skip the tourist traps. These guest‑favorite spots deliver the flavors Cabo locals love—easy on the wallet, heavy on taste.

Seafood Classics

Los Claros: Legendary fish and shrimp tacos, ceviche tostadas, and a salsa bar that lets you dial in the heat. Pro move: add avocado and a squeeze of lime.

Tacos Gardenias: Family‑run for decades. Go fried fish or garlic shrimp; pair with a classic margarita.

Street Heroes & Late Night

Taquería El Paisa: Carne asada and al pastor carved hot off the trompo. Open late and perfect after a marina stroll.

Tacos Guss: Fast, affordable, and endlessly customizable with a full salad bar.

Street Tamales by MILANO: Nightly pots of chicken, pork, and poblano‑cheese tamales. They sell out—arrive early.

Ordering Tips

  • Start mild with salsas, then step up. Habanero creeps.
  • Cash can move faster than cards. Keep small bills handy.
  • Ask what’s fresh today. Seafood flips by the catch.
