Rainy Day Delights: Cabo’s Tastiest Delivery Options
Whether it’s one of those rare September days when tropical rains have put a damper on your vacation plans or you’re feeling a bit lethargic after an exhaustive tour of the Cabo San Lucas nightlife scene, there are times when nothing satisfies like a food delivery. And let’s face it, for home or hotel delivery, the best food choices are seldom fine dining staples like steak or lobster.

For years, the biggest October events in Cabo San Lucas have been Bisbee’s Black and Blue, the world’s richest fishing tournament, and Sammy Hagar’s birthday, which draws some of the biggest names in rock to accompany the former Van Halen frontman in a series of celebratory performances at Cabo Wabo Cantina. This year, however, the two perennial autumn calendar headliners will have some stiff competition, at least in terms of mainstream media interest. The inaugural Cabo Comedy Festival is scheduled for October 2-6, 2013,...
