What Not to Eat in Cabo San Lucas
The biggest health risk in Mexico is traveler’s diarrhea or turista, usually caused by eating contaminated food or drinking unclean water. Cabo generally doesn’t pose as much of a health risk as other areas of Mexico.
To minimize the risk of turista, however, follow these tips:
- Avoid bad-smelling or questionable-looking foods, particularly street foods.
- Pass up ordering raw fish cured in lemon juice (ceviche) if you have doubts about a restaurant’s standards.
- Don’t consume improperly-prepared fruits or vegetables (like lettuce and tomatoes).
- Drink only bottled water.
