Tacos aren’t exactly scarce in Los Cabos, but there are fewer options after midnight—which, in my book, is the best time to eat them. Nothing provides better late night ballast than tacos, particularly when the drinks are flowing a little freely. Each neighborhood has its top stops, but if you’re taking advantage of the boisterous nightlife in downtown Cabo San Lucas, there are two taquerías that merit special attention.
