Javier was a delight. The tacos we enjoyed were off of the beaten path and we were submerged by locals enjoying their food as well. We even hopped on a local bus to head out a ways. Such an enjoyable experience and one I'd highly recommend. Tip....do this one of your first days in town and you will have a better idea of the area and you can go back to the places you love! read more

AvoCabo - Food Tours Near Me

Host is late, really late with no call back to us. confirmed our reservations but she is a no show. She had a very sad story that her partner ran off with $$, uh get another partner. We were the only confirmed reservation, we just told her cancel this food tour - she went on a rant and screaming fest, we just left...no food tour, no samples, nothing. I doubt we'll see any refund from this place read more

Our guide Javier was so great! He made sure to ask about allergies and food preferences right away and kept that in mind the whole time. Nobody felt left out. He also took us to places outside the Marina, which we loved. It felt way more like exploring the real city than doing a typical tourist food tour. We really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it to others. read more

My husband and I attended the "Eat Like a Local" food tour while in Cabo San Lucas this week. Robin and Silvano were great hosts and we discovered some new eateries. We have been coming to Cabo for years and didn't know about any of these restaurants! Everything was delicious and the mole was my favorite! This is a "must do" event when visiting Cabo! Bravo Robin and Silvano! read more

So glad we did this local walking food tour! Jonathan was great, he is knowledgeable, kind, entertaining and funny. We didn't walk too far, but just a bit off the main touristy streets and there were so many other delicious places to discover and to dine at. My fave was definitely the street vendor's shrimp ceviche, followed closely by the Al pastor tacos (and the grass fed steak they also fed us). Mmm... so good. We also had the crunchiest birria tacos which stayed crunchy after several dunks into the consomme. Followed by chicken mole, and a stuffed churro for dessert. I feel like such a dummy for saying this, but I had the image of lots of avocados for this "Avo-Cabo" tour. But thankfully all the delicious food we ate, more than made up for it (ok there were like 2 slices of avocados on one of the dishes we tasted). Lol. Come on an empty stomach and leave satisfied. With dessert to boot! You won't even need to bring water, they will provide cold bottled water. Highly recommended. Towards the end of the tour, we took a local bus back. Everything including tips to the restaurants and servers were included in the price, except tips for your tour guide. (And any canned beer or Palomas you might want to buy at the local bodega we stop by, yes just do it!) read more

We were really looking forward to this food tour. We purposely skipped meals in anticipation of trying local dishes and paid for an Uber to make sure we arrived early and on time. Unfortunately, we were completely stood up. No guide showed up. There was no signage, no communication, and no cancellation notice. We waited around confused, thinking we might have misunderstood something. Finally, we reached out to the company, only to be told that the tour wasn't happening because no one had checked to see if anyone had signed up. read more

We enjoyed the tour, great selection of hidden restaurants in Cabo. Very knowledgeable and professional. Robin and her assistant took good care of the group from giving us water, the path holes in the street and traffic. Loved the items and truly a great tout read more

This is a MUST!!!! Come hungry!! If you like tacos, food, learning Mexican heritage, good company, trying local places, and for a great deal-- this is it!! Better than we expected!! Jonathan & his team were on top of it!!! We experience 5 different places in 3 hours. Can't wait to go back to some the restaurants We really enjoyed ourselves and the company. Good times This is the best way for you to experience being a local, your tastebuds will thank you. And let's not forget- knowing the local places, you get the local prices!! Not the resort commercial prices for fish tacos We ate street corn, chicken mole, pork tacos, fish tacos, octopus, ceviche, and churros. They brought plenty of waters too. After each place, you will walk a few more blocks to the next place. Perfect to let your tummy settle and get hungry again! Wear comfortable walking shoes!! read more

The food on the tour was amazing. Some of the best ceviche I have ever had and taco place was, well, incredible. Even got to hang out with the chef for a few and he tapped his personal stash of carne asada, and it just melted in my mouth. Great local knowledge, some great stories, and just a wonderful all-around time for our group. If you book anywhere else, you are just wasting your money! read more

Best foodie tour in Cabo. Hubby and I went on the Eat like a LocalTour with Robin. She is very knowledgeable about the local food cuisine and is an awesome foodie documentarian. Learned a ton about the culture in Cabo in addition to the yummy food. We had 5 local stops and bought some beer at a convenience store as it is a byob tour. We started with an amazing birria taco (ate too fast and forgot to take picture), the best silky smooth mole chicken w/rice and beans I have ever had, al pastor taco where the pork is made on rotisserie pit (think how they make shawarma), a poblano pepper shrimp taco, a grilled octopus taco and ended with a homemade Mexican ice cream sandwich. We were stuffed!! Totally recommend this tour to everyone wanting a authentic local food and flavor. Tip - bring a small backpack so you can carry water and beer or drinks. read more

The food was fantastic. The tour and info were great. I loved seeing a less tourist-y side of a town that runs on tourism. THIS is the kind of tour I'd like to see more places. The price was more expensive than I would have liked, but in the end, I had nothing to complain about. I really appreciate that they did not keep hounding me to drink alcohol. I could get a beer, or not; Laid back attitude about it. read more

This was a great tour. We really enjoyed exploring Cabo's cuisine off the beaten path, away from the tourist area. Robin was a great guide.

This 3 year old company has a fun Local's Food Tour. They also have a Taco Tour, a Seafood Tour & an upcoming Breakfast tour. We e noted the 8nlocatiins we hit. I thought the price was high, but then we did not just get samplings,,,, the meals we received were more than expected and SO worth the price. We loved this Tour!

We took the AvoCabo Food Tour - Taco Tour this past week. We've been coming to Cabo for close to 40 years and we haven't historically taken a lot of tours but this was absolutely wonderful. It was a excellent look at not only a variety of unique tacos (eating like the locals) but a look at the beautiful people the locals from Cabo are. Don't miss this, you will not be disappointed. Tell Robin Greg and Debbie sent you...her background story and real life experiences made the tour that much better. read more

We took the taco tour today with Johnathan and it was spectacular. He's so knowledgeable about Mexican history and food, and he drops little nuggets of wisdom and fun facts along the way. He takes you to the best local spots and helps you taste the true, authentic Cabo. We are totally stuffed and happy. Thank you so much Johnathan. Next time we come back to Cabo we will definitely be doing another tour with Avocabo tours. read more

The overall experience could have been made much better if the host was anyone but Robin. I'm assuming she had a bad day because there were a few instances in which Robin was condescending and rude. For instance, when we sat down for our first meal, I placed a few dabs of salsa on my plate and stated the sauces were spicy. Robin mentioned "it's just like a white person to sit down at a table and complain about the salsa." Robin went on to tell the table that is not normal for Mexican culture to eat chips and salsa and that this is mainly an american tradition. During one of our last meals, Robin approached me as I was exiting the restroom and asked which tacos I would like to order. I mentioned I was unsure and she stated she went over the options already and that I should have been listening outdoors when she initially explained the options. It seemed as if I was causing an inconvenience by not remembering which options there were. Even after ordering, both my wife and I received improper orders. We have done several tours in Cabo and this would be one I would skip strictly due to the rude behavior Robin exhibited. If your looking to replicate the tour, start by purchasing street tacos and tamales from the vendors along the streets of downtown Cabo and enjoy yourself without being spoken down to. read more

Excellent experience with Jonathan as our guide to 5 amazing local restaurants for a variety of tacos, tostadas, mole, street corn, churros and drinks. Between bites, we learned about the history of Mexican & Aztec foods and drinks and other insights into the local areas and life. We will try some of their other tours when back in Cabo San Lucas It was an English speaking tour and we walked a comfortable route through the area, went for a cool bus ride and enjoyed conversation with others on tour. There is an abundance of food provided throughout, so you may need to pace yourself when eating. The ahi tuna tostada and mezcal were excellent. read more

Great experience!! Highlight of our trip for sure. Went to local places that we never would've know to go without this tour! The tour guides super friendly and knowledgeable and the food was amazing. read more

This is a must! I joined a small group and it was fantastic! Besides walking around the non tourist areas (which I prefer), we got to learn about Mexico and the history of their food. That's my kind of tour. I listened to people here and did the tour my first day. I will be back to some of these for sure. We started off with a sea bass ceviche which was great! We then walked further to have hibiscus tea and a mole. Who knew that the mole was such a complex food and that it's so old. I am pescaterian, and was well accommodated with a vegetarian option. The rest got chicken. We then went on to have one of the more famous tacos around Cabo. Stop 4 was another taco but with one of the most famous chefs in Cabo. Most of my group got an octopus taco and I got a tostada. So good!!! We then also learned about Mezcal and how to drink it. Lastly, stuffed charros! Holy wow. So stuffed! So good! Both Jonathan and his colleague were great. The price includes everything, including food and tips. No alcohol though read more

We loved this food tour. It was a great way to try a variety of local foods away from the tourist area. The guides are super friendly and helpful. The walking was short distances with plenty of stops. Definitely a fun way to see Cabo! read more

Food tours are one of the best ways to se a city and experience the culture and AvoCabo's Seafood tour did not disappoint. Jonathan was an excellent host, educating us on local cuisine. We visited 4 amazing locations and try some incredible seafood. All of the restaurants were off the beaten path. We never would have found them on our own. And, come very hungry as the portions are full sized and you won't want to miss a bite. We will definitely be back and will recommend AvoCabo food tours to anyone looking to get out of tourist restaurants and truly enjoy the authentic cuisine of Cabo San Lucas! read more

Jonathan was great thanks for the tour! Definitely recommend doing good tour first night get in. Jonathan took me and my brother Martin into town and showed us some of the heart and soul of Cabo local restaurants. The food was awesome and great but pricing so inexpensive compared to the tourist restaurants that are more pricier. Do yourself a favor and go see Jonathan and Avacabo when your in Cabo San Lucas. Also make sure your don't eat for the day cause you will have a good baby with all the food tasting that night. Thanks Jonathan! read more

If you're reading this now, BOOK A TOUR! My family and I did the local taco tour and everything was delicious! We spent the first few days eating at expensive restaurants and when we did this tour, we wished we started at the local spots from the first day of our trip. Our tour guide Jonathan brought us to 4 taco spots and 1 place for dessert. Since the tour, we gone back to 2 of the places. If you like carnitas like us, you will probably go back to that restaurant several times before your trip is over. If you like seafood, specifically "tuna carnitas", you will like the last taco spot. Overall, this experience was extremely fun and I would do it all over again! Jonathan, you're the man!!!! Thank you! read more

This was a great experience for our group of four. We did the Eat Like a Local Tour on our first night in Cabo. Tried things we may not have ordered on our own which was fun. Definitely come with a big appetite and comfy shoes. Robin was a great hostess, would definitely recommend! read more

This was the best thing we did our entire trip. We luckily scheduled this tour on our first full day there so we could revisit some of the places on our own after. We met at the Hard Rock right on time and our tour started from there alongside another couple. I won't mention what or where we ate to keep the surprise element, but I will say you won't be disappointed! Portion sizes were perfect and I just barely had room for dessert- but there is always room for dessert. The good thing was you walk to most places so you are ready for the next stop. We do stop to grab a drink at a small market where you can get $1 beers or anything else you may want to drink. Robin was our guide and she was wonderful. Her assistant, who's name I am completely blanking out on, was also wonderful. He carried cool water for us and while we were eating at one place, he was getting a table ready at the next place. We got a lot of wonderful information about the local food, way of life and any other general questions we may have had. Also, for what it's worth, I am vegetarian and there was plenty for me to eat at each of the five stops. We ended up returning to 3 of the spots we went to on this tour on another day (we cancelled a reservation we had for elsewhere so we could come back to these spots). If you have time and love food and culture, I highly recommend you take a tour! I won't post pictures as to not give away what to expect. read more

We had a great time on the tour with Robin. She was super knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. We got to experience restaurants that we would have never considered going to on the "locals" side of Cabo, but that we will definitely visit again and again. The story of "mole" was very interesting (it is NOT chocolate sauce!). I heartily recommend this experience - just remember it is a 3 hour walking tour over uneven ground. Wear good shoes! read more

This was such an interesting tour! We learned so much and enjoyed local cuisine! Tour guides were amazing! Highly recommended AvoCabo tours!

My wife and I went on the Food Tour and it did not disappoint. Robin was very knowledgeable and has a clear passion for supporting local restaurants and bringing Mexican culture alive through food. Silvano was amazing and the epitome of service with a smile. We had a great time and I had one of the best meals of my life. read more

DO NOT go on this tour, the owners are the most horrible people I have ever met. I was in an emergency, life threatening situation on the way to the tour and when I arrived I told Jonathan about what had happened and that I needed to return to my hotel and notify police and Uber of what happened. He literally didn't care and said "no refunds." I tried to also contact Robin, the owner, and she didn't care either. I am literally astonished that I was held at gunpoint and almost died and they STILL would not issue me a refund. Insult to injury and heaven forbid something happens to your or your family and you cannot go, they literally don't care!!!! read more

We just got done with this food tour and it was epic! We really appreciated experiencing authentic local Cabo food hosted by our amazing guide Jonathan. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get off the strip and eat like a local! read more

I have been coming to Cabo for years, but this is the first time I have truly "eaten like a local". Johnathon and Robin are absolutely delightful. The Mexican knowledge, Cabo tips, and incredible food choices they share were the hi-light of my trip this year. A definite MUST DO! Be sure to plan at the beginning of your trip, because you will want to return to every restaurant they share! read more

If you are ever in Cabo San Lucas, do this Tour. You won't regret it. They have numerous food tours and they are all amazing! It was a little expensive and I was hesitant because of that, but in the end, it was well worth it. read more

I have been on many different food tours, this food tour was one of the best I have experienced. We have visited Cabo for 6 years and learned a whole new area to explore with the most amazing food.

This food tour was amazing went to spots where the locals eat food was AMAZING all of us had a great time so many different flavors good times laughs. Jonathan was the best tour guide ever when we went to some of the places ppl that went earlier in the week were there enjoying the foods that they tried on a previous tour. Robin stayed in contact with us and the next day sent us information on the restaurants we visited and we went back too. Great way to experience the real Cabo!
