Great tour!! I didn't know there were that many kinds of "tacos". David (fabulous guide) took us to small, local restaurants where each had a different specialty, in many different choices of meat and toppings. You could try as many as you wanted. 7 different stops with tequila tasting and history of tequila making at the last stop. One of our favorite tours in Cabo San Lucas.

My adult daughter and I did an easy walking taco tour through Cabo and had a great time. We sampled tacos, street tamales, street corn, churros, and even enjoyed a tequila tasting. Everything was delicious, the pace was relaxed, and it was a fun way to experience local flavors. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful food tour! Miguel was our guide, and he was great! High energy and he made it so much fun. He shared so much great history about the region as well as food history. We stopped into places we wouldn't normally have even known about and enjoyed so many different types of delicious tacos, chilaquiles, burritos, ice cream, and churros. We ended with a tequila tasting. The total tour was 3 hours, and I expected a lot more walking, but all of the stops were close to each other. Definitely recommend this tour if you are in Cabo! Come hungry!

Good Tacos Walk

Markeedia_R, Mar 2026
This was a good experience our host Daniel was perfect. The walk was long so wear walking shoes and do not eat before the tour. The tequila tasting potions were very small.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for the 'delicious' review! We are thrilled that you had such a great time exploring Downtown Cabo with Miguel—he certainly has enough energy to power the whole neighborhood! We’re also glad you mentioned the walking distance; we try to pick the very best 'hidden gems' that are close enough to keep the focus on the food and the history rather than a long hike! We will be sure to pass your kind words along to Miguel and the rest of the team. We hope to see you back in Cabo again soon—and we'll be sure to have the tacos ready!

Fantastic taco tour!

Jenickle0829, Feb 2026
Miguel was so knowledgeable and friendly. Really wanted to share his culture with us! We ate so many delicious tacos, ice cream, churros…tequila. We could not eat another bite…and he still had more stops for us. This was all authentic Mexican food where the locals eat, no tourist stops! We have taken many food tours and this was definitely one of the best! Thanks Miguel for a wonderful afternoon!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It means the world to us—especially coming from seasoned food tour travelers—that our downtown experience stands out as one of your favorites. Miguel is truly passionate about sharing the 'real' Cabo with our guests, and he’ll be so happy to hear that you enjoyed the authentic local spots he selected. We always tell our guests to 'come hungry,' but it sounds like you really put that to the test with the tacos, churros, and tequila! We are thrilled that we could show you the side of Mexican culture that we love so much. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you back for another 'full' afternoon the next time you're in town!

Awesome food tour in Cabo

Donna, Feb 2026
This was an amazing food tour! We had 8 or so different stops; including tacos, tamales, ice cream, churros, and tequila. We had seafood, pastor, chicken, beef, there was vegetarian options. The food was all really good. Our guide was David and he was wonderful. He had very interesting info and stories about the food, restaurants, and Mexico. He was fun and interesting. At the end he also arranged a tequila tasting that was also interesting to learn how it is made and taste a nice variety of them. I highly recommend this food tour! Make sure you come hungry, there is so much food and you'll want to try it all!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are thrilled that you had such an 'amazing' time exploring the flavors of Cabo with David. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the stories behind our food and culture, and he’ll be so happy to receive your kind words. We’re especially glad you mentioned the variety of options—from the al pastor and seafood to our vegetarian choices! We strive to make sure there is something delicious for everyone at every stop. You are absolutely right about the 'come hungry' rule; we love making sure our guests leave completely satisfied. It sounds like the tequila tasting was the perfect way to wrap up your journey through Mexico's culinary history. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another round of tacos and stories soon!

Miguel was fantastic. He was informative, easy to understand, fun and extremely knowledgeable. This tour is a must for everyone. We learned so much and the food was delicious. We went to places off the beaten path and experienced things we would have missed. We enjoyed it so much we signed up for the cooking class.
