Where Los Cabos actually eats — the fondas, the fish markets, the chef's counters and the tables worth planning a night around.

From the editors

Los Cabos eats better than its reputation suggests. Behind the marina restaurants with laminated menus there is a real food culture: Sinaloan seafood carts, Oaxacan cooks who moved down for the season and stayed, ranch kitchens in the sierra, and a generation of chefs who source from farms in Miraflores instead of a Miami importer.

We write about the places we return to. That means a fonda with four tables counts as much as a tasting menu, and a taquero who has been on the same corner for eighteen years is a bigger story than an opening with a publicist.

If you only have a week here, eat where the town eats at lunch and save the reservations for dinner.
