Tacos Gardenias

Fine dining in Cabo is becoming more of a thing, but it’s really the casual seafood spots that the area is known (and loved) for. Tacos Gardenias, a small mom-and-pop restaurant with kitschy gamefish mounted on the walls, has been a local favorite for 30 years and is famous for serving quintessential Baja dishes. Go for things like the fish and shrimp tacos (either breaded or grilled, doused in lime and wrapped in a warm flour tortilla), ceviche, seafood soup, and the shrimp molcajete: a house specialty red stew of shrimp, peppers, cheese, and onion served in a Mexican mortar and pestle.
