If you’re going to eat at one place in Los Barriles, this family-owned Mexican taqueria should be it. This casual spot quickly becomes every diners favorite eatery serving up delicious breakfast and lunch options at reasonable prices—don't miss the taco bar. Options are available for dietary restrictions.
A favorite spot among the dwindling community of local Mexican residents, Tiki Santos can be a little difficult to find (the location shown on Google Maps is not correct), but if you persevere, you'll be rewarded with generous portions of classic Mexican seafood dishes at moderate prices. The decor is as basic as they come—plastic chairs on a dirt sand floor—but that's part of the charm. The food is just as good (if not better than) other restaurants in town charging double.
Zai may be one of just a few restaurants in the La Fortuna area, but that doesn’t mean you should go only as a default. It is the most buzzed about restaurant in the East Cape, with plenty of diners making the drive up from San José just for a taste of their sushi, which is said to be the best in Los Cabos. If you’ll be driving along Camino Cabo Este, plan intentionally to stop here.
