I'm a Mexican-American guy and I do appreciate the fact that you guys try to speak Spanish. Many Americans do not and it drives us (Mexicans) crazy! Kudos!

Awesome! Google Tacos May Cabo and it will pop up on a map. The street names are funky down there. It's near the mall on the one way street going away from there (opposite the mall). That's the zone though.

@marlym3794 3 жыл бұрын

Loved this video! Are all these places easy to find and safe to venture to? We were considering booking a walking food tour on our trip but after seeing how cheap the prices are might be worth doing it on our own like you guys did! Haha. Would you recommend having pesos while visiting cabo?

@DrifterJourney 3 жыл бұрын

We love venturing around Cabo looking for tacos and have always felt safe doing so, especially during the day. All of the places we went to in this video are along the same street, with exception to Gardenias, which you can Google. Definitely carry pesos if you're going to buy any street food or try taco shops. They don't take credit cards. They usually will accept dollars in Cabo but there will be an upcharge because they have to pay a fee to exchange dollars to pesos. Have fun on your trip!

You guys are so wholesome! Thank you for putting this together. What was the drink you got on the side of the road after the Elote? Currently in town until Sunday

@DrifterJourney 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! It was Champurrado. It's a hot chocolate based drink with corn flour in it. We found it for the first time on our last trip and love it. Enjoy your time down there. We can't wait to go back.

@DrifterJourney 2 жыл бұрын

@@Powaup the elote guy is on the same street as Tacos May. If you walk from Tacos May to El Pollo De Oro you can't miss the Elote guy. He's only there in the evenings though, usually after 5 or 6. Order the Mixto for a combo of grilled and sweet corn!

@enriquezuniga7338 2 жыл бұрын

I would suggest people exchange American dollars to pesos in the US before you travel to Cabo. These business will take advantage of you if you pay in American dollars . They will exchange the dollar for you at a higher rate .

@DrifterJourney 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Enrique! You are correct that most businesses exchange at a worse rate than the bank rate. We always have pesos on hand, pay with a credit card, or get cash from ATMs with our Charles Schwab debit card (they refund transaction fees). Worst case........tacos cost a bit more but they are worth it!

hello . thinking of heading to Cabo with the wife and we mainly prefer these local spots over hotel restaurants. where is this area exactly ? Is it the marina ?? We Would like to plan our hotel stay based on more local restaurants 🙏 . Thank you

@DrifterJourney Жыл бұрын

Hi and thank you for watching! The marina is pretty big but it's fairly close to the one side. You'll find the zone if you Google Tacos May Cabo. That's our #1 taco spot personally and a majority of the good stuff in the few blocks surrounding them. Good luck and let us know if you find any gems. We'll be back down soon!

@kaylie6467 Жыл бұрын

Hey what was the corn stall called and where?

@DrifterJourney Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! It looks like he finally shows up on Google. It's called Elotes y enquites GUASAVE. It looks like the pin is correct on Google but he's in front of the Comex store on the corner of 20 de Noviembre and C. Jose Ma. Morelos y Pavon. It's the same street downtown as Tacos May (a few blocks further from the marina).

@DrifterJourney 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and the suggestion! We'll give it a try next time we're down there but it looks a little different than the inexpensive street food that we normally do (I can't get their menu to load but I'm guessing it's a little more expensive and touristy based off the marina location). No good taco left behind though!

@DrifterJourney 3 жыл бұрын

Good question! We actually exchange money because you generally get a better price paying with pesos. The hotel we stayed at has a really good exchange rate and we also have a Charles Schwab debit card that reimburses ATM fees. We exchange some at the border on the way down too (lose a little with them).
