    We paid $7 for two Al pastor Sopes. They bring you a full salsa bar and toppings to the table individual. They are really nice inside it's clean and the bathrooms are clean! They weee repainting fresh yellow paint when we stopped by. There is a fancy side and a chill side so you take your pick. We sat on the chill side & watched football game. World Cup was on.

    Best tacos in town. I've been coming here for decades and the place gets better and better every time. You get the full spread and set up when you sit down in a table full of all the salsa, guacamole, and add-ons. We always go for the tacos in quesadillas and it's the number one place I stop into every time I get in town. Service is always Gray without mom and Pop feel and the Ovi is like a wonderful authentic Mexican experience . This is one of those places where you feel like you're the only one who knows the best hole in the wall taco spot in Cabo yet everyone in the surrounding area knows that it's the best.

    We stopped at Tacos Guss for tacos and margaritas while in Cabo. Once we got seated, we were brought a complimentary bowl of chips and an array of salsas, which included fresh guac. The guac was super tasty! We were also provided with a tray of toppings to finish your tacos, which consisted of pico de gallo, cucumbers, radish, carrots, cheese, cilantro, onions, limes, etc. It's covered in plastic wrap, which is nice, considering there were flies all around. I ordered two tacos, a lengua and fish (sea bass). I didn't have any issues with my ordering, but it took several tries for them to get my friend's order right. The tacos are served on a single tortilla, made from fresh masa. I enjoyed the lengua taco, but the fish taco was just okay. There was a generous amount of fish and it is also served with green peppers and a sliver of red onion (fajita style, barely). I was hoping for battered fish, but it was grilled and on the soggy and fishy side. My friend tried it and she spit out a scale. The margaritas ($11-$12 USD) are huge! I also enjoyed a classic Cola. I would say this is a 3.5-rating for me. It was not my favorite bite in Mexico, but it was a nice spot to enjoy some local eats during our short stopover. We were able to pay in USD.

    Tacos Guss is a local taqueria with amazing aromas wafting down the Main Street in Cabo. Pair this with their Yelp reviews and we were in. When we walked up, there were no open tables. It's fairly small and intimate, and they're not afraid to seat you with other parties. We're didn't mind at all and enjoyed sharing a table with another group. Service is great - it's too small not to see you, lol. We ordered house margs - these were not overly limey, which made me happy, lol. If ya love spice, you'll be happy here. They immediately brought out a taco prep platter and a tray of various salsas. Some were mild and others were quite spicy. I loved them all. Some were tiny tasters only, though! We ordered chicken enchiladas verde and tacos (el pastor, fish, shrimp, and carne asada). The el pastor was what brought us in and definitely the standout. I'd ask for a bit more sour cream with my enchiladas and try their spicy marg. We'd be back. Loved the local flavors, spicy options and food made with love.

    Recently stopped by Tacos Guss during one of our cruise port days and ended up having some of the best tacos I've ever had. We found it recommended online and were so glad we did. The space is small, but we were seated right away. We ordered carne asada, al pastor, and pescado tacos, plus a Bohemia beer, all for just $20 USD. While we waited, our waiter brought out chips with multiple salsa options ranging from mild to absolutely eye-watering, along with a full platter of taco toppings, which we didn't use. The moment I took my first bite, I knew this would be a regular stop if we're ever back in the area. The meat was tender, incredibly flavorful, and tasted fresh off the grill. Everything paired perfectly with the salsas and an ice-cold beer. Super glad we found this gem within walking distance of the pier, and this is one of those spots that'll stick with us long after our trip ended.

    Was on a Carnival 6 Day cruise to Cabo and Ensenada. This was Day 3 of the cruise. We took a bike taxi from the beach by the Port. He actually became our unofficial tour guide lol. We were hungry and we told him that we did not want to go any touristy spot, so he brought us here prior to taking us back to the ship. This spot was everything. We both tried Sopas for the 1st time and they were so damn tasty and so were the drinks. Prices were more than great because it is a very local spot. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere is cozy.

    Taco Guss was easily my fav taco spot in all of CSL! They had a huge selection of tacos, burritos, tortas and other Mexican classics! They also had a great selection of agua fresca when I was there. My favorite was the shrimp and al pastor Taco. While the shrimp wasn't fried, it was cooked until tender and not too salty. The al pastor was very flavorful and slightly sweet, rivaling CDMX tacos. They also provide sauces and sides for each table, and my favorite was the avosalsa. The pepino y limon agua fresca was also very refreshing and not too sweet. Service was great and while ambiance was a bit chaotic with so many people crammed into a small space, it made for a lively experience.

    We had decided to try this place out while we were in Cabo. The interior was a little cramped but it had a lot of seating. Our food was tasty and really filling for what it was. I really liked how the meats were juicy and not dry like other taco places back in California.

    My wife and I were here on a cruise and wanted to find a local taco spot. So, we asked a local where to go and this is where he directed us. Tacos Guss is literally a small hole in the wall type spot where they're making the tacos on a grill facing the street. As you walk by, the chef is right there with a smile. I really liked the veggie tray they brought with the different toppings so you could dress up your tacos however you wanted. The steak wasn't overly flavorful but still tasted good.

    Camaron, Arrachera, Tripas Tacos
    Erick L.

    Tacos is Mexico. Arrachera and Camaron were excellent. I prefer my Tripas crispy and cleaner but they weren't bad. I liked that they serve you a variety of salsas, including guac for your chips and to put on your tacos. Prices were similar to U.S. prices, was expecting it to be quite a bit cheaper. I'd recommend giving them a try if you get deeper into town in Cabo.

    Tacos!

    Never stears us wrong! Great street tacos with a great salsa assortment! Friendly staff with open seating. No frills, just good food andcold beer. Also enjoy watching the cruise line tourist oeder tacos in a hurry.

    Eh this taco place was just ok. I love that they instantly send out this huge salsa tray with 6 different salsas for your chips. They also give a huge plate with different toppings like cucumber, pickled onions, cilantro, etc. The tacos themselves were just mediocre. Yes, the corn tortilla tastes delicious with the authentic texture and taste but their carne asada was just ok. It was bland and didn't taste fresh. I did enjoy their fish tacos; I thought meat was tender and fresh. Their shrimp tacos were really good too but it literally just had 5 large shrimp on top of the tortilla. Maybe the idea here is to make and build your own taco rather than coming out already dressed?! Not sure but I actually prefer my tacos dressed. Overall, I paid $12 USD for 4 tacos which is almost the same back home in The Bay Area. I wouldn't come back.

No roof, string lighting and decor, a tree in the middle of the courtyard. Bar on one side. Covered dining tables on the other. Showed up at the perfect time. In between the lunch and dinner rush. Extremely friendly and attentive staff with expert knowledge of the menu and fabulous suggestions. What we ordered: - Peruvian Ceviche (fresh catch of the day) - Shrimp Chipotle - El Takeshi - Al pastor in fried cheese shell - Bone Marrow taco was hands down thee best! My mouth is watering just recalling the melt in your mouth, buttery deliciousness of the marrow sitting on top. Loved the salsa sampler they brought to the table. The depths of flavor and heat were a fabulous compliment to the food. I've seen mixed reviews about La Lupita. I happen to agree with the most positive recounts. Every single staff member from the host to the waiters to the other servers walking around were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall A+ experience. Drinks and food were delicious. And we truly enjoyed ourselves. Will be back on a return trip!

Every bite was outstanding, the quality was exceptional, and it's clear this place takes pride in what they serve. If you appreciate authentic flavors with a few creative twists, do yourself a favor and eat here. You won't regret it!

My husband and I ordered a variety of tacos for dinner including the fried battered fish, fried battered shrimp, grilled octopus, al pastor, and skirt steak. The tacos come out looking very simple, but that's because they bring lots of different toppings to the table so you can create your own perfect tacos! My favorites were the fried battered fish (pescado) and al pastor -- truly outstanding! In addition to the tacos, we also tried the quesabirria quesadilla which was a solid pick, and then we ended our meal with the flan which was incredible :) I wouldn't hesitate to come back again when I'm in Cabo next time!

It's a bit of a walk from the pier, but still within a comfortable tourist-friendly distance. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, and not long after, a line started forming, so timing worked in our favor. The restaurant is fully outdoors under a covered roof, so be prepared for the heat. The menu is limited and posted on the wall without prices, which made me a little nervous about potential tourist upcharges. Still, we decided to go for it and ordered al pastor and birria tacos with cheese, plus a Pacifico beer. While we waited, our waitress brought out a platter of taco toppings along with consommé. When the food arrived, it instantly became a highlight of our trip. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the consommé and toppings. The chili oil paste on the table was no joke and seriously eye-watering. A couple things to note: there are no restrooms or sinks, so we relied on our wet wipes and hand sanitizer. Our total for six tacos and a beer came out to $30 USD, which was a bit higher than expected, and I do wish there had been clearer pricing. That said, it was an authentic, memorable experience and one I'm really glad we checked out.

There was some real competition for top meal, but this one ran away with it. It is a little up the hill and slightly off the main tourist path from downtown Cabo, but still totally walkable and well worth the effort. And if you can plan ahead, go on a Monday. That is when they offer the Molcajete special, which is reason enough on its own to visit. I also heard their steak night is fantastic, so you really cannot go wrong. The space itself is beautiful. The dining room feels polished and inviting, and there is also a charming outdoor area if you prefer fresh air over AC. We kicked things off with the tableside guac, which was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want to start a meal. Even better, they brought out a complimentary little starter first, which is one of my absolute favorite restaurant traditions. In this case it was two mini empanadas, one mushroom and one cheese. Truly a Sophie's choice situation because both were excellent - hubby and I split them in half. For the main event, we split the Molcajete Monday special. You can choose your protein, and we went with steak, though chicken and (I think) shrimp were also options. It came with both corn and flour tortillas if you ask nicely, all housemade. The portion was easily enough for two. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly, sitting in a smoky, slightly spicy sauce in a traditional volcanic stone bowl. Absolutely delicious and one of those dishes you keep talking about long after the meal ends- and much to my travel companions dismay, I talked about it for many days after... Even though we were completely stuffed, I had already seen photos of the flan and could not skip it. We ordered that along with churros to share among four people. Do yourself a favor and skip the churros-- The towering flan is the star. Everyone at the table agreed it was the best we have ever had. A nearby table ordered the crème brûlée and looked genuinely jealous once they saw ours arrive. For what felt like a splurge night, the final bill was surprisingly reasonable, especially compared to US city prices. When you split dishes like we did, it feels like an incredible value for the quality. Treat yourself to this place. And if at all possible, go on a Monday. We almost went back a second time, which says everything. Bathrooms are also lovely, and there is an open kitchen. Service was great too. Treat yo-self!!!
