THE best cheese taco El Pastor in Cabo. And this was first time trying the beet salad and I nearly licked the plate. All the staff treat you like an old friend - and they do it very well. A Must Try, both the Cabo San Lucas and the older SJ del Cabo location.

Cute place, good location for exploring downtown San Jose vibe. It’s a good Taco place, not too much more on the menu. A table next to us ordered the grilled Ceasar Salad & it looked good, will try that next time. They’re unique Cheese Encrusted Taco instead of a Tortilla is a must try, Barbacoa Taco is good too. Usually need reservations or they’ll offer seats at their small bar & it’s very tight seating.
