Malinches Street Tacos — Restaurant in Cabo Velas

I wish there were more than 5 stars for this restaurant. Simply put, AMAZING. The people working there were so nice and super nice. The food was fabulous. They even made us special dishes that were not on the menu. We had planned on visiting others restaurants while on our trip to Costa Rica but we loved this place so much, we ate at Malinches Street Tacos when eating out. They have a great variety of food.

He made me a custom cocktail that knocked my socks off. I had two each time i went 🤪. The owner of the space has turned it into a hangout for the locals in the area and his two rescue dogs who are cute as can be, roam the tables politely asking for pets and some food. All those perks aside, the food is reason enough to check this place out. The chips are fried to order and the flautas are hand rolled and fried on the spot. Guacamole 10/10.
