Cabo San Lucas offers an extraordinary culinary journey, from humble taco stands to elegant oceanfront restaurants. The region's access to incredibly fresh seafood—dorado, cabrillo, halibut, tuna, shrimp, lobster, and octopus—makes seafood the star of most menus.
Traditional Baja cuisine blends Mexican flavors with Pacific influences, featuring dishes like fish tacos, ceviche, and barbecued meats. Add in local produce like mangos, avocados, papayas, and cactus fruit, and you have a food scene that's as vibrant as the destination itself.
