I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that they serve sushi!  I ordered a couple of Rainbow Rolls and a margarita….interesting combo, but delicious.

What to Eat:

  • Clamato is a local drink made from clam juice and tomato juice.
  • Damiana liqueur is an aphrodisiac made with cane alcohol, sugar and water.  It is a digestive liquor.
  • Mexican Chocolate Clams are roasted over stone and covered with rosemary.  You must try this!
  • Pitahaya  is a local fruit that is similar to Asia’s dragonfruit.  Growing on cacti, this fruit is also made into jellies, jams, spreads, candies and marzipan.
  • Shrimp and Fish Tacos are one of my favorite dishes to eat in Cabo.  The fish is so fresh served with cole slaw, salsa and veggies then stuffed into a soft tortilla shell
  • Smoked Marlin because I have never seen this anywhere else in Mexico.  Shredded and smoked, the marlin is served with cheese and veggies on a tortilla.
  • Tamales are corn meal stuffed with meat, tomatoes, chilis, while some have pineapple without chiles. The corn meal is then wrapped by a corn husk and steamed.  A favorite during the Christmas holiday.
  • Tequila, mescal and raicilla are alcoholic drinks. While most are familiar with the tequila and mescal (with the worm), raicilla is much stronger and has a smoky taste.
