Los Cabos Airport

Los Cabos Airport, Mexico

Occasion: We had spare time since our flight was delayed for two hours so we decided get our grub on at the airport. 09.12.11

Combo platter: mozzarella cheese sticks, onion rings, honey glazed chicken wings and pizza

the highlight for me were the chicken wings!

Pretty decent and better than the sandwich below.

Tri tip steak sandwich

with fries

This was gross. The bread was hard to chew and bite into.  The meat was dry and pretty much flavorless. Best part of this dish were the fries.

Oh airport food...what can you expect...

Gardenia's again!

Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabo, Mexico

Occasion: This time we came with everyone.  Lunch was so good the previous day that we had to share this deliciousness with everyone else. We were all very happy to have had this as our last real authentic meal in Cabo San Lucas. (Airport doesnt' count). 09.12.11

Ceviche, Fish tacos, chicken taco

Best thing here are the fish tacos, so we came  back with the rest of the gang to get this.  Tried something different at this second visit: chicken taco.  Loved it.  Tender, moist flavorful shredded chicken.  Everything we ordered were delicious!

Taco Shop again!

Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabo, Mexico

Occasion: After trying the four tacos at the taco shack up the block, we all came back to the taco shop for the third time for their pork tacos. I wanted to try something different that a local had recommended to me the night before. 09.11.11

Huarache

It's a much larger form of sope, where the tortilla is a bit different. Their tortillas are a bit thicker than the ones you eat with tacos and has a more distinct cornmeal flavor to it. It's good especially when it soaks up the juices from the meat and the toppings that are piled on top. Tasty, filling and wonderful.

Taco shack

Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Mexico

Occasion: Sunday night dinner. We encountered another group of youngins (probably oldies compared to us. LOL!) from San Francisco and they had talked about this Taco shack that was up the block from the tacoshop that we had been going to during the late nights. We decided to make a journey two blocks up and we found it. This place is literally a shack, not a restaurant.  There's just two guys working there. 09.11.11

Between two people we decided to share their 4 different tacos: Chorizo, pork, beef tongue and carne asada

Beef tongue was my favorite, then the chorizo, followed by the carne asada then the pork. The pork is way better at the taco shop down the block. Not to say that this place wasn't good because  it was and it as cheap. So worth the try, since they don't have chorizo nor beef tongue at the taco place down the block.

Gardenia's

Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Mexico

Occasion: After a morning of Dolphin Swimming in the Marina, our group split up. Some went a couple went parasailing, a couple went jetskiing and our group decided to go eat! After an hour of walking in the heat and searching for this hole in the wall place, we finally found it. 09.11.11

Fish Ceviche

So freaking good and fresh. This is what I've been craving for. Ceviche soaked in flavorful lime juice, salsa, cilantro and topped with avocado.  I like how they gave us packages of tortilla chips.  I topped each chip off with some ceviche and enjoyed each bite. There were three of us and it was definitely more than enough for us!! YUM!

Chicken Quesadilla

Delicious.  The chicken was shredded and very tender.  To my surprise, it wasn't dry at all and very flavorful.  The gooey warm cheese definitely made it better.  It's a simple creation, but it was absolutely amazing!

Nopales Taco

Yes, I had a cactus taco. When I saw it on the menu, I just knew I had to order it.  I'm in Mexico, I need to eat something that was true to the Mexian roots.  It was really good and very flavorful.  The texture of the cooked cactus reminded of green beans.  It was a nice to finally be able to know what cactus actually tastes like, especially because it's so talked about in the food scene and on the food network.  I enjoyed it and would eat it again!

Shrimp Tacos

Before and after.  They serve it to you with just the fried shrimp on the tortilla so that we could add our toppings on it the way we like it.  The batter on it was perfect, not too thick and fried to the perfect golden brown.  It was flavorful and just plain delicious.

Fish tacos

What I've been waiting for the whole trip; some bombdiggity scrumplicious fish tacos.  At last, I've found it.  Totally worth the somewhat journey.  I was so happy that we finally found a place that and delicious tacos.  Hands down best taco through out our whole trip.  Not only were they good, they were also reasonably cheap.  Loved it!

Billygan's

Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Mexico

Occasion: Sat night dinner. Someone REALLY wanted to eat Lobster tail, so we came here! 09.10.11 

Strawberry Margarita 

Sipping on my Mexican cocktail! What a huge cup!

2 Lobster Tail

Probably the worse meal we had during the whole trip.  The lobster tail was not fresh and had a sandy/ grainy texture to it.  Good thing two of us SHARED this!  

Taco Shop

Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Mexico

Occasion: Late night grubbing after our first night out. First $1 shots then its $1 tacos. We were such happy Americans. 09.09.11

The pork on the bottom was a favorite amongst our group. Absolutely delicious especially after a night out! I like how they had a condiments bar that had everything from salsa to guacamole. We could design our tacos to our own liking with as many toppings as we'd like! So cheap and so good!

Popsicles off the street

Cabo San Lucas,Los Cabos, Mexico

Occasion: While we were waiting for our taxi after our adventure to the arch we saw an ice cream man selling really unique and authentic looking frozen fruit bars.

Left: Mango and Chile

Right: Mango and  Coconut

Both were refreshing and delicious.  I usually don't enjoy coconut flavored popsicles, but this one was really good.  The coconut flavor was not too sweet and creamy.  Kind of reminded me of an orange creamsicle.  The Mango chile was interesting because it had a little bit of heat.  Out of the two I liked the Mango coconut one more! So good!

Las Tortugas Restaurant Cabo

Los Cabos, Mexico

Occasion: First meal after our arrival in Cabo. By the time we checked in and got ourselves settled, it was just about dinner time.  We all got vouchers to eat at the hotel, so we decided to use it up the first night. 09.09.11.

Mango Strawberry and Strawberry Daiquiris

Strawberry tasted better!

Stuff from the salad bar: fruits, salad, salsa, ceviche, guacamole and chips. 

All you can eat! Woohoo. I was addicted to the guac and chips.

Catch of the day with veggies and rice.

It came with a delicious buttery sauce that you could dip the fish into.  I really enjoyed it, but thought it was overpriced.  Good thing we had coupons for the food.

Steak with a taquito and rice and beans

It was ok.  I was munching on the beans more than anything else on that plate!
