The view from one of the hip restaurants with $15

The best restaurant in Todos Santos, Mexico? 🇲🇽 Davíd and Carolina’s tamale stand. 🫔 (Save this post for a real LOCAL meal when you visit Baja California Sur.)

In a place with as many tourists as the south end of Baja California (anywhere near Los Cabos) it takes some effort to get off the beaten path.

Most “best restaurant” lists give you $15 guacamole 🥑 and cocktails at NYC prices, in what I see as boring, uniformly hip restaurants serving linguine, steaks, and maaaaybe one Mexican dish on each entirely English menu.

And who knows where the profit goes.🤨

But you don’t have to get sucked into that! Now and then, it’s worth taking a moment to stop doing what we’re told as tourists, and eat where the locals eat.

My favorite meals in Todos Santos were from this fantastic stand, where tamales go for 30 pesos each (about $1.50 USD).

Davíd makes the sweet tamales himself. (They’re the colorful ones pictured – filled with pineapple & raisin.🍍🍇) Carolina, his wife, makes the savory ones.

My favorites:
- queso con rajas (pickled jalapeños)
- anything with salsa verde 😋
- Different specials every day; usually including veggie choices!

📍 They’re open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, roughly 11am to 8pm. They’re not on Google maps or social media, but SAVE this post for the map at the end. (DM me if you need — I’ll send you the 💗 pin with the exact location.)
