In Mexico, tacos and tequila are a must.  But, if you’re in Los Cabos, Mexico there are many other must eats.  This is my list of what to eat and drink in Los Cabos, Mexico. 

Frozen Margarita

What to Eat and Drink in Los Cabos, Mexico - Brain Freeze Frozen Margarita

First things first – every tropical vacation needs at least one instance of frozen drink brain freeze. In Mexico, make it a frozen margarita.  I’m not saying this traditional or gourmet, but they are darn tasty and the sugar tequila buzz is amazing.  

Frozen Margaritas are like sunburn in Mexico,  you can find them everywhere you look.   But, I feel like Cabo Wabo Cantina, in and of itself, is a right of passage for all party seeking vacationers.

Paletas

When you contemplate having a second paleta you know it’s delicious. Cabo has a several Paleterias but, La Tropical takes paletas to a whole new level.  100% authentic, not too sweet and big hunks of fruit and nuts.  Amazing.

Craft Beers

When you think of Mexico, you probably think of Tequilla.  However,  I was blown away by the cocktails, particularly Mezcal cocktails, in Cabo.  There are a lot of great places to explore.  Don’t be shy, drink beyond the margarita.  I urge you to try Mezcal.

I never met a food stall I didn’t like.  Some of the best things I ate in Cabo were from a food truck or a pushcart.   From tacos to tamales, if you see something good stop.  I will likely be worth it.

Seriously,  avocados in Mexico just taste better.   I indulged every dang day.   If you love avocados I say eat them and enjoy, they will never taste the same at home.

While there are delicious traditional Mexican cuisine restaurants to be found in Cabo, farm to table establishments are taking off.  With a plethora of fresh produce, it’s no wonder why.  I was blown away by the food and the unique Mexican fusion flavors in many of the dishes I tried.
