Amazing adventure for a mother/daughter getaway trip!
This was a 10/10 experience! My 18yo daughter and I had a private tour because no one else was booked and wow! Adrian was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful, easy going, accommodating, knowledgeable, smart, and just fun to be with. We went to 6 places I would never have found myself, ate foods I never would have known to try, and really had an adventure. If there was anything we didn't want he made adjustments (my daughter does not eat pork but I do). Be open minded and adventurous and you will have a blast. One last bit of advice: do not eat the full portion at your first few places or you won't have room for the last few. I definitely got full quickly so be mindful of that. Its a good bit of walking too, so wear comfortable shoes - and dress super casual - these are not fancy places, but wow so delicious!
Response from the operator: Hola! Thank you for your great review. I’m glad you had a fun time with Adrian and enjoyed the food local Cabo San Lucas has to offer. Big hugs :)

Turned out we were the only 2 so had a private tour. Food and guide were a 10. Would have liked to been taken 2 nicer places but food was great.
Response from the operator: Hola Steve! Thank you for your review. I’m glad you had a good tour through local Cabo San Lucas. Big hugs :)

July ‘26 Tour for 5
First and foremost, make sure to come hungry! There was almost too much food, but it was all really delicious so you do not want to eat beforehand. The tour guide was really friendly, the food was of good variety, and make sure to wear good shoes as there is a good bit of walking! Overall, a really good tour!
Response from the operator: Hola Jordan! Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed your experience through local San Lucas and the food it has to offer. Best wishes :)

Great food tour in Cabo
Arlin was amazing tour guide! She was on time to meet us at a very easy to find location. She took us to so many local spots. Everything we ate was delicious. Arlin told us about the local culture and answered all our questions. Whatever you do make sure to go with an empty stomach, you will not leave hungry!!
Response from the operator: Hola! Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed your tour with Arlin through local San Lucas. Big hugs :)

Best host and food!
Arlene was the absolute best! We ended up just my husband and I and we had some wonderful conversations and got to know our host. We went to some fabulous hidden gems where the food and people were wonderful! She took Our food preferences and did an amazing job of ordering our food how we liked each time. The food was amazing and we felt like we were eating where the locals go! Highly recommend, we def found a couple gems to go back to.
Response from the operator: Hola! Thank you for your review and recommendation. I’m glad you had a good experience with Arlin through local Cabo San Lucas. Best wishes :)

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Flavors of Cabo San Lucas: Authentic Mexican Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Flavors of Cabo San Lucas: Authentic Mexican Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Flavors of Cabo San Lucas: Authentic Mexican Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Cabos is not rushed.
Is Flavors of Cabo San Lucas: Authentic Mexican Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Flavors of Cabo San Lucas: Authentic Mexican Food Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Flavors of Cabo San Lucas: Authentic Mexican Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Flavors of Cabo San Lucas: Authentic Mexican Food Tour?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Cabos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Flavors of Cabo San Lucas: Authentic Mexican Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Cabos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Los Cabos?
+
On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Los Cabos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Los Cabos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
