While Los Cabos is celebrated for its world-class fine dining and luxury resorts, the region also offers an irresistible array of casual eats – perfect for those craving a laid-back evening full of local flavor. From colorful fruit stalls to sizzling taco trucks, this is where the locals go to savor the seasonal tastes of Baja California Sur.
Here’s a guide to some of the best casual dining spots and street eats in Los Cabos:
Tacos Gardenias
A longtime favorite with locals and visitors alike, Tacos Gardenias serves up some of the best seafood tacos in town. Order a plate of crispy fish, shrimp, or smoked marlin tacos and pair them with a refreshing agua fresca. The casual, open-air setting makes it an easy stop between beach outings.
A colorful extension of the bustling Flora Farms, The Market offers a curated selection of farm-fresh produce, homemade preserves, baked goods, and more. Pick up sun-ripened fruits like mangoes, melons, and papayas — perfect for a refreshing snack on a warm summer day.
Taquería Rossy
For more than thirty years, Taquería Rossy has been a must-visit for generous portions of Baja-style fish tacos and ceviches. The unassuming spot attracts a loyal crowd with its authentic flavors and welcoming vibe — perfect for a quick bite after a morning at the beach.
While technically more beach restaurant than street cart, The Office offers toes-in-the-sand dining with casual Baja fare. Stop by for a beachside breakfast or linger over ceviche, tacos, and margaritas with the waves just steps away.
Just steps from the surf at Costa Azul beach, Pescadito Break is a beloved local hangout known for its relaxed, beachy vibe and unbeatable views. The menu leans into regional flavors with standout tuna tostadas, tacos, and fresh crudos that are best enjoyed with a cold Mexican beer or craft cocktail in hand. On weekends, live music adds to the laid-back energy, making it an ideal spot to refuel after a day in the waves.
Tacos El Ahorcado
For late-night bites or an afternoon taco run, Tacos El Ahorcado delivers with tender al pastor carved right off the spit. Grab a few tacos, top them with grilled pineapple and house salsas, and enjoy them streetside, surrounded by the energy of downtown San José del Cabo.
Gourmet Food Trucks at One&Only Palmilla and Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Los Cabos
Even within the grounds of Los Cabos’ most luxurious resorts, casual summer dining gets a flavorful twist. Both One&Only Palmilla and Garza Blanca Resort offer on-site gourmet food trucks serving elevated takes on Baja street food — from tacos and ceviche to fresh juices and grilled specialties. It’s a relaxed, open-air way to enjoy top-tier cuisine without ever leaving the poolside.
This summer, trade white tablecloths for a shady palapa or a bustling food stall and discover the casual side of Los Cabos dining.
