Cabo San Lucas is more than resorts and nightlife. From local taco joints and hidden beach bars to unforgettable day trips and longtime favorites, Mexitara helps you experience Cabo beyond the typical tourist stops.
Eat and Drink
From inexpensive local favorites to special-occasion restaurants, Cabo has an incredible food scene. These are places we recommend based on the food, atmosphere, value, and overall experience.
Solomon’s Landing
A longtime Cabo favorite right on the marina, Solomon’s Landing is a great spot for fresh seafood, Mexican favorites, and drinks with a view. For a more affordable option, grab a seat at the bar—they offer a smaller, different bar menu with lower-priced choices.
Cabo Cantina
A must-stop for sports fans in downtown Cabo. Cabo Cantina is a casual, lively spot to catch a game, grab a cold drink, and enjoy great food without anything fancy. It’s an easy place to settle in, watch your team, and enjoy the Cabo atmosphere.
Sancho’s
A fun marina-side sports bar with a laid-back Cabo vibe. Sancho’s is a great place for drinks, casual food, and watching the game while enjoying the marina. It’s lively, friendly, and an easy stop when you’re walking around downtown Cabo.
Chubby Noodle
A fun, energetic spot serving creative Asian-inspired dishes with big flavors. Chubby Noodle is a little more expensive than some of our other Cabo picks, but the food and lively atmosphere make it worth checking out when you want something different from the usual Mexican and seafood options.
Uno Mas
Small, quaint, and full of Cabo charm, Uno Más is the kind of place that’s easy to walk past but worth stopping for. Grab a seat or stand at the bar and enjoy drinks for around $5, made with fresh ingredients. It’s a great little spot for an inexpensive drink while exploring downtown Cabo.
Asi y Asado
Worth venturing outside downtown for, Así y Asado is a popular taco spot along the main corridor through Cabo. It’s a great choice when you want flavorful, no-frills tacos away from the busier tourist areas downtown.
Things to do
There’s much more to Cabo than sitting by the pool. Get out and explore the beaches, marina, local neighborhoods, and unforgettable experiences that make Los Cabos special. Whether you want adventure or a relaxing day by the water, there’s plenty to discover.
Visit El Arco & Land’s End
No trip to Cabo is complete without seeing El Arco, the famous rock arch at Land’s End. Take a water taxi or glass-bottom boat from the marina for an up-close view of the dramatic rock formations, sea lions, and the meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez.
Spend a Day at Medano Beach
Medano Beach is Cabo’s main swimmable beach and one of the best places to spend a day by the water. You’ll find beachfront restaurants and bars, water activities, and great views of Land’s End. It can get lively, so come for the action—or walk farther down the beach for a quieter spot.
Walk the Cabo Marina
The Cabo Marina is worth exploring even if you aren’t heading out on a boat. Walk along the waterfront, watch the fishing boats and yachts come and go, browse the shops, and stop for a drink or bite to eat. It’s also an easy starting point for exploring downtown Cabo on foot.
Experience Downtown Cabo
Downtown Cabo is best explored on foot. Wander beyond the marina to discover local shops, restaurants, taco spots, small bars, and nightlife. It’s especially fun in the late afternoon and evening when the area comes alive and everything is within easy walking distance.
Beaches & Hidden Gems
Some of the best places around Los Cabos are the ones you won’t find by simply staying at your resort. From quieter beaches to local favorites away from the crowds, these are the places worth making a little extra effort to find.
Chileno Bay
Chileno Bay is one of the best beaches along the Tourist Corridor for swimming and snorkeling. The protected cove usually offers calmer water, and the clear conditions make it a great place to spot colorful fish. Arrive earlier in the day for a more relaxed experience, especially on weekends.
Santa Maria Bay
Santa Maria Bay is a beautiful horseshoe-shaped cove along the Tourist Corridor and another excellent spot for swimming and snorkeling. The protected bay, clear water, and rocky edges make it a great place to see marine life. Bring your snorkel gear, some water, and plan to spend a few hours relaxing on the beach.
Palmilla Beach
Palmilla Beach is a beautiful protected cove near San José del Cabo and a great choice for a quieter beach day. The water is often calmer than at many Pacific-side beaches, making it popular for swimming. Bring your own drinks, snacks, and shade and enjoy a more relaxed side of Los Cabos.
