- Mouthwatering Molcajete – which is a cactus stew served in a cauldron-inspired bowl to set the spooky scene. It’s enjoyed with tortillas and a fan-favorite of October travelers.
- Roasted Peppers – when they’re cooked over an open flame, they take on a smoky and sweet flavor that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
- Mole – served across fine dining establishments throughout the region, mole is used to top prime meats or as a base for cooking. You won’t want to leave Cabo San Lucas behind this Halloween without having tried the Huitlacoche either. Dished out alongside cotija cheese, this rich dish is one for the record books.
- Tamales – whether you opt for a version mixed with pineapple or choose a spicey variety, these corn paste delights are bound to inspire the taste buds. If you have a sweet tooth to satisfy, the markets in and around Cabo San Lucas will be bursting with options to choose from.
- Calaveras – (sugar skulls)

Book a Pirate Ship Tour with the Family
If your Halloween getaway to Cabo San Lucas happens to be an adventure you’re enjoying alongside the entire family, you won’t want to miss out on booking a pirate ship tour while you’re in town! While this is sure to thrill the kids, there’s plenty for the adults to enjoy as well as you step aboard the Buccaneer Queen. This tour experience comes complete with costumed crew, themed beverages, and pirate activities for kids as well. The Buccaneer Queen was constructed in 1968 and is one of only two ships of its kind that sail around the Los Cabos Bay. The tour stops at the iconic Cabo San Lucas Arch, sails by Lovers Beach, and offers up great views of coral reefs and Chileno Bay as well. The ship spans 86 feet and is an authentic replica of a historic pirate galleon that would have authentically hosted pirates in eras past. You will get the complete pirate experience with the costumed crew, specialty drinks, and activities for kids. While these tours are available year-round, there’s something undeniably fun about hopping onboard during the Halloween season when pirates tend to be top of mind!
