Cabo Food Tour

This is a fun way to see the neighborhood restaurants. The guide was very nice. He was a private chef and had been in the food biz for many years. Started off with Hibiscus iced tea. He said all the juice shops were pink and green and only sold juices and ice cream.

First stop was a place that has made the same Mole recipes for decades. My palate has not developed enough to know the difference in Moles, but it was pretty tasty. This place was way off the beaten path.

There were just two of us, both traveling Solo, not Alone. There is a difference! She was from Colorado and lived off the grid. She was very nice and seemed normal. We chatted a bit about travels and Mexico.

I love the colors of Mexico, so bright and cheery. This was called Piñata wall, because one could buy piñatas here in these colors. Maybe something was off with the translation.

This spot was at the market, in the food hall. The guide explained how birria was made. it is cooked in a big vessel using the whole animal and it is underground, like the pig roast I once did in my front yard.

Apparently this fish taco place was the only place between the airport and Cabo San Lucas.

Everything was good. I would do a tour like this again.

Uber back to the resort and relaxed a bit by the pool. I am reading some good books, “Enough”. (Personal growth) About a woman climbing Everest. “How to know a person” by David Brooks, (work) “Love your Life.” By Sophie Kinsella humorous fiction. “Unsheltered” by Barbara Kingsolver relevant fiction with facts. And several other books, but I am tired of using punctuation!

So you would think I was full after all the food on the tour. I tried not to eat the tortillas.

After a nap, I contemplated walking to a sushi place a few blocks away but I decided to find the hotel that I stayed at years ago in San Jose. I was pretty sure I knew the name, Encanto. Ubered to it, got out and walked into a restaurant that I remembered, although seeing places in the day vs night is always different. They weren’t open for 5 more min and please wait outside, bye bye. No way to treat a customer. Noticed an old favorite across the street, Lupita’s. It’s a great taco and Mezcal place. Recent bad reviews were wrong. I was greeted and treated perfectly. More tacos but tastier. Food ate before phone, sorry.

Back to the resort. Read and relaxed until I was sleepy.

Decided to make a little breakfast this morning. I had bought the random groceries so I cooked shrimp, leftover mushrooms, charred grapefruit, avocado topped with cilantro and balsamic syrup.
