Every Tuesday evening, the heart of San José del Cabo downtown brims with the flavors of Baja California Sur at Sabores San José. This weekly celebration transforms the historic downtown into a pedestrian-only food lover’s paradise, showcasing the region’s rich culinary heritage through curated tasting experiences, live music, and folkloric dance.
From 5 to 9 pm, key streets like Calle Grande, Morelos, and Álvaro Obregón close to traffic, inviting locals and visitors to wander through an open-air feast featuring some of the area’s most beloved restaurants. Participating spots like Jazmin’s Restaurant, Don Sanchez, and LÍMO Heritage Kitchen at Suelo Sur, among others, serve up exclusive dishes that highlight the seasonal bounty of regional farms and waters.
While the food takes center stage, the ambiance is equally captivating. Guests can sip craft cocktails as they listen to the romantic strumming of rondalla groups — traditional string ensembles whose soft, nostalgic melodies set a dreamy tone for the evening. Between bites, couples and families can take in folkloric dance performances, adding a splash of color and culture to the evening.
