Tales of the Traveling Tote #42 and a Giveaway

Welcome to our 42nd quarterly 

edition of 

Tales of the Traveling Tote, 

where we take our 

MacKenzie-Childs Totes

all over the place. 

Those who have been with 

me for many years now 

know we travel from Utah 

to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico 

at least once a month 

during the winter and 

spring months.  

In February we were 

down there by ourselves

for Valentine's Day.

Hubby filled the tub with 

roses and petals like he 

did a few years ago 

for my birthday.  

It was a lovely day. 

I am contacted all of the 

time by people wanting 

to know restaurants to 

try in Cabo, and we 

have a whole list, but 

that usually doesn't include 

tacos shops.  

So Miss Madi K and I 

decided to take you on 

a personal 

TACO CRAWL!

You can pay $75 a person 

for a guided Taco Crawl, 

but we decided we wanted 

to create our own.  

I have to start the crawl 

with my absolute favorite 

taco shop, featured on 

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, 

Asi & Asado. 

This one is situated outside 

of town along the tourist 

corridor, so you will need 

a car or taxi.  Our property 

manager told us about 

this place and it is always 

a favorite with our guests. 

Some tell me they could 

eat here every day, but 

what would be the fun 

in that!!!

My favorite taco here is 

a grilled shrimp with cheese.  

They grill their meat over a fire 

and have a wonderful 

salsa bar.  

We also love their 

guacamole with blue chips,

their queso and beet salad.

Our next stop is 

La Taquiza.  This 

location is just past 

Asi & Asado, but there 

is another busy one in 

downtown Cabo. 

Instead of a salsa bar, 

they bring out a 

selection of toppings.

We are in love with 

their queso which 

comes in a stone bowl 

with a roll of crisp cheese 

and flour tortillas. 

Their birria tacos were 

amazing and my favorites. 

They came with their 

own selection of sauces. 

Mother Flower is a small 

shop which is new to us, 

and we really liked it.  

Their tacos come with 

toppings and sauces 

already on.  I loved the 

spicy shrimp one.  

One of their highlights 

is their unique Chili Verde 

served with toppings 

and homemade flour 

tortillas.  

Another favorite of ours 

is La Lupita.  This one is 

so popular you will need 

to get a reservation.  They 

have live music at night. 

They have so many 

fun and unique tacos, 

you will have to come 

back more than once.

My favorite here is their 

smoked Waygu tacos 

that come out in this 

little smoker.  There 

are so many fun choices 

here and it is a fun 

atmosphere.  This one 

is down by Medano Beach. 

Final stop on the taco 

tour is a super popular 

place downtown in Cabo, 

Taqueria el Paisa.

This is the best Pastor 

taco I have ever had. 

I also loved the mixed 

Steak and Shrimp 

Chorreada. 

I have to throw in here 

Las Guacamayas.  

It is also downtown, 

on the same street as 

El Paisa and La Taquiza.  

Mother Flower is just a 

block over, so all of 

these would be great 

for a walking tour. 

Although I don't usually order 

tacos here, I love their 

Shrimp Stone Bowl.  

I wouldn't recommend 

doing all of these in 

one day!  We had so 

much fun researching 

for this and can 

recommend these 

above all of the other 

taco shops in town.

Glad you could crawl 

along with us.
