I hope you are doing well and making the best of this time at home. I am blessed to live in San Jose del Cabo and have been able to enjoy the beautiful weather and blue ocean view during this time of quarantine.
If you have been using this time to try new recipes and hone your culinary skills, have I got a recipe for you! If you’re not much of a chef, this is an easy one and sure to impress your family. It is from La Lupita Tacos & Mezcal, one of our local favorite restaurants for dining and listening to live music. Should you be in Los Cabos following the stay home order, they are currently open Friday, Saturday and Sunday for curbside pick-up at either the San Jose del Cabo or Cabo San Lucas locations.
