A must in your vacations in Cabo San Lucas!!
If you Love yummi tacos and local street food this tour is a must on your vacations in Cabo!!

Definitely not worth $60!
As sweet as our guide was, the young lady provided no context or history about the places or foods we ate. The first 3 stops were rushed and even if we enjoyed what we were eating we didn't have time to really consume it. The forth stop was a restaurant for tacos. They weren't bad but nothing was really explained in the experience. Menus were just shoved in our face. No explanation of what was good or anything. Last stop was for churros but we opted out bc of the rushing of walking and eating. We were tired and full by that point. If you are looking for a more authentic food tour this isn't it. It was literal street food. No place to sit and eat except for the taco spot.

Had a great time going to the different locations to try food! We had churros, agua Frescas, tacos and esquites! All were really tasty! Our guide Mili was so sweet and fun to hang out with and teach us about the different things we were eating! Highly recommend!

Fun walk, talk and dine...
Fun walk, talk and dine with Mili to visit her favorite local spots. Plenty to see and eat at long established family owned restaurants. We enjoyed a variety of local dishes and had plenty to eat. Recommended..

We had a great time with Jonathan! The food was outstanding and it was a fun way to learn about Mexican culture and the history of their food. Our only regret was that we didn't do it earlier in our trip and skip some ho hum restaurants. Street food is definitely the way to go in Cabo!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taste Tacos & Street Food Like a Local: Cabo San Lucas Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.
How much does Taste Tacos & Street Food Like a Local: Cabo San Lucas Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Taste Tacos & Street Food Like a Local: Cabo San Lucas Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.
Is Taste Tacos & Street Food Like a Local: Cabo San Lucas Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Taste Tacos & Street Food Like a Local: Cabo San Lucas 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 Taste Tacos & Street Food Like a Local: Cabo San Lucas Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Taste Tacos & Street Food Like a Local: Cabo San Lucas Food Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Cabo San Lucas 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 Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taste Tacos & Street Food Like a Local: Cabo San Lucas 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 Cabo San Lucas 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 Cabo San Lucas?
+
On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Humpback Whale Watching Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Cabo Desert Off-Road & Beach Horseback Combo and Tequila Tasting, Cabo All-Inclusive Private Beach Club with Open Bar and Buffet. 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 Cabo San Lucas?
+
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 Cabo San Lucas?
+
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.
