Taqueria El Paisa

Taqueria El Paisa is a casual Mexican taqueria in San José del Cabo. Choose it when the goal is a direct, low-key meal built around tacos.

The basics are simple: casual dress, an approximate price of $10 per person, signature orders that include street-style carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos. Published hours conflict, but most sources indicate an afternoon opening around 1:00 PM and service continuing late, to about 1:00 AM or 2:00 AM daily as of July 2026.

Use it for tacos, not a drawn-out brunch

This is not a venue to frame around a clearly brunch service. Based on the more consistent hour listings, it is better treated as an afternoon, evening, or late-night taco stop.
