    Many Americans do not and it drives us (Mexicans) crazy! Kudos!

    Loved this video! Are all these places easy to find and safe to venture to? We were considering booking a walking food tour on our trip but after seeing how cheap the prices are might be worth doing it on our own like you guys did! Haha. Would you recommend having pesos while visiting cabo?

    • @DrifterJourney
      @DrifterJourney  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We love venturing around Cabo looking for tacos and have always felt safe doing so, especially during the day. All of the places we went to in this video are along the same street, with exception to Gardenias, which you can Google. Definitely carry pesos if you're going to buy any street food or try taco shops. They don't take credit cards. They usually will accept dollars in Cabo but there will be an upcharge because they have to pay a fee to exchange dollars to pesos. Have fun on your trip!

    I would suggest people exchange American dollars to pesos in the US before you travel to Cabo. These business will take advantage of you if you pay in American dollars . They will exchange the dollar for you at a higher rate .

    • @DrifterJourney
      @DrifterJourney  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching Enrique! You are correct that most businesses exchange at a worse rate than the bank rate. We always have pesos on hand, pay with a credit card, or get cash from ATMs with our Charles Schwab debit card (they refund transaction fees). Worst case........tacos cost a bit more but they are worth it!

      Hi and thank you for watching! The marina is pretty big but it's fairly close to the one side. You'll find the zone if you Google Tacos May Cabo.

      Thanks for watching. They are from the same ice cream stand we were at earlier in the video. You should be able to find them at any La Michoacana shop. They usually have mango and passion fruit but I'd say mango is more traditional.

      Thanks for watching! It looks like he finally shows up on Google. It's called Elotes y enquites GUASAVE. It looks like the pin is correct on Google but he's in front of the Comex store on the corner of 20 de Noviembre and C. Jose Ma. Morelos y Pavon. It's the same street downtown as Tacos May (a few blocks further from the marina).

      Thanks for watching and the suggestion! We'll give it a try next time we're down there but it looks a little different than the inexpensive street food that we normally do (I can't get their menu to load but I'm guessing it's a little more expensive and touristy based off the marina location). No good taco left behind though!

      Good question! We actually exchange money because you generally get a better price paying with pesos.

We exchange some at the border on the way down too (lose a little with them).
