$$ A popular restaurant serving both elevated and traditional tacos. The "Cheese Crust Pastor" is, in fact, an Al Pastor taco served in a cheese crust instead of a tortilla. You have been warned. * Pro tip: Try the tamarind martini. *
$ An institution that's served tacos to locals and tourists alike at a reasonable price for 30+ years. It's all delicious- but if you can't decide, try the Asada (steak) and Al Pastor (Pork) tacos. * Side note: The "vampiro" tacos are crispy like a tostada! *
$$$ An eclectic restaurant serving creative dishes with traditional Baja ingredients. * Fast fact: This is run by the same chef as our wedding venue! *
$$$ A great spot for a cocktail - ask to be seated on the rooftop!
$ A tamale cart in the plaza. Don't miss out on the Pollo en Salsa Verde or the Puerco en Salsa Verde. * Ari's advice: get a healthy portion of the green salsa (the one with chopped onion). *
Cerro de las Chiva is a popular trail that you can begin from the center of San Jose del Cabo. The trail is 1.6 mi out-and-back.
This is a beautiful beach that can be reached on foot or by car from downtown San José del Cabo. From the main plaza, head south on Bulevar Antonio Mijares. The walk typically takes 20–30 minutes, depending on pace. A public beach access point is located just to the left of the Vidanta hotel.
$$$ Across the arroyo lies a farm-to-table oasis great for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Make sure to go on a stroll and take in the ambience of this unexpected desert sanctuary. * Gabe's guide: reservations are necessary! *
