Complete Guide to Grocery & Retail Stores in Los Cabos
July 18, 2026
Know Before You Shop
One of the first things visitors ask when they land in Los Cabos is: where do I get groceries? The answer depends on what you need, how much you're buying, and whether you want a quick grab or a full stock-up run. Los Cabos has everything from massive warehouse clubs to boutique organic markets — and most of them carry familiar American brands alongside local Mexican products.
Here's a breakdown of every major grocery and retail store in the region, what each one does best, and where to find them.
1. Costco Wholesale
If you have a Costco membership from the US or Canada, it works here — no local membership needed. The Los Cabos Costco is essentially a mirror of what you'd find back home: bulk meats, produce, wine, spirits, a bakery, a pharmacy, and even a tire center. The snack bar out front serves hot dogs, pizza, and Caesar salad. The imported beef selection is excellent, and the wine and liquor department is well-stocked with both Mexican and international labels.
Best for: Families, large groups, bulk shopping, high-quality meats
Location: Carretera Transpeninsular Km. 4.5, El Tezal, Cabo San Lucas (about 5 minutes from downtown)
Hours: Daily, typically 10:00 AM – 8:30 PM
2. Walmart
Walmart is the go-to for one-stop everyday shopping in Los Cabos. You'll find fresh produce, a bakery, household essentials, beach gear, electronics, and a pharmacy — all under one roof. The stores carry many of the same American brands you'd see at home, alongside a solid selection of local Mexican products. There are two main locations: one in Cabo San Lucas at Plaza San Lucas, and one in San José del Cabo on Calle Valerio González.
Best for: Quick runs, basics, sunscreen, snacks, familiar brands
Locations:
- Cabo San Lucas — Plaza San Lucas, Carretera Transpeninsular Km 2.5
- San José del Cabo — Calle Valerio González 137
Hours: Daily, 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM
3. Sam's Club
Another membership warehouse, Sam's Club is located right next to Walmart in Cabo San Lucas. Like Costco, it requires a membership — and your US or Canadian card works here too. The selection skews slightly more toward everyday bulk groceries and household goods rather than the gourmet/imported items you might find at Costco. It's a solid option if you prefer a less crowded warehouse experience.
Best for: Bulk groceries, everyday staples, less crowded alternative to Costco
Location: Carretera Transpeninsular Km 2, next to Walmart, Cabo San Lucas
Hours: Monday – Saturday, 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM (closed Sundays)
4. La Comer and Fresko
La Comer is one of the most respected supermarket chains in Mexico, and the Los Cabos locations live up to that reputation. The stores are clean, well-organized, and offer a strong selection of fresh produce, a great bakery, imported cheeses, and gourmet items. The "Selecto" format — their premium tier — is especially popular with tourists and expats who want a shopping experience closer to what they'd find at Whole Foods or Sprouts.
Fresko is a smaller, upscale version of La Comer, often found in newer developments. It's designed for a quicker, more curated shopping trip with high-quality produce and deli items.
Best for: Upscale shopping, gourmet imports, excellent bakery, clean aisles
Locations:
- La Comer, Cabo San Lucas — Road to Todos Santos, ocean side
- La Comer, San José del Cabo — Blvd. Mauricio Castro 4650, Zona Hotelera
- Fresko — Select locations in Cabo San Lucas
Hours: Daily, 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM
5. Chedraui and Chedraui Selecto
Chedraui is a massive Mexican supermarket chain with over 200 branches nationwide. In Los Cabos, you'll typically find the "Selecto" version — a premium format that caters to tourists and locals looking for higher-end goods. The prepared foods section is a standout: roasted chicken, fresh salads, and ready-to-eat meals. The wine and spirits aisle is also well-curated.
Best for: Premium shopping experience, prepared foods, wine selection
Locations:
- Chedraui, Cabo San Lucas — Carretera a Todos Santos Km. 1.5, Arcos del Sol
- Chedraui Selecto, San José del Cabo — Carretera Transpeninsular and Toll Road, Col. Club Campestre
Hours: Daily, 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM
6. Soriana Híper
Soriana Híper is a full-service hypermarket — meaning it's more than just groceries. You'll find a wide selection of food, household goods, electronics, a pharmacy, furniture, and even sporting goods. It's often less crowded than Walmart, making it a good choice for a quick, stress-free 30-minute run. The everyday pricing is competitive, and the stores are easy to navigate.
Best for: One-stop shopping beyond groceries, less crowded, competitive pricing
Locations:
- Cabo San Lucas — Carretera Todos Santos and Cruajitos, Col. Brisa del Pacífico
- San José del Cabo — Carretera Transpeninsular Km. 34.5, Col. Guaymitas
Hours: Daily, 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM
7. City Club
Think of City Club as Mexico's answer to Costco. It's Soriana's membership-based warehouse club, offering bulk groceries, produce, bakery items, and quality meats. A membership costs around 250 MXN (roughly $15 USD), and you can buy it on-site. If Costco feels too crowded or you want a different selection, City Club is a great alternative with a more local feel.
Best for: Bulk shopping without a Costco membership, local warehouse experience
Locations:
- Cabo San Lucas — Paseo del Pescador and Lázaro Cárdenas, near downtown
- San José del Cabo — Additional location available
Hours: Typically Monday – Saturday, 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM
8. California Ranch Market
If you're looking for organic, vegan, gluten-free, or gourmet products, California Ranch Market is your store. With over a decade in Los Cabos, it's the go-to for health-conscious shoppers and anyone seeking niche brands you'd typically find at Whole Foods or Erewhon. They carry local organic produce, specialty meats, imported health foods, and a curated wine selection. Online ordering with in-store pickup and delivery is available.
Best for: Organic, vegan, gluten-free, gourmet, health-conscious shopping
Locations:
- Cabo San Lucas — Pedregal area
- San José del Cabo — The Shoppes at Palmilla, Km. 27.5
- Puerto Los Cabos — Newport Plaza, Blvd. Mar de Cortés
Hours: Daily, 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM
9. Santa Carmela Market and Deli
A family-owned business operating since 2000, Santa Carmela started as one of the first places in Los Cabos to sell imported and local organic products. It's a smaller, more intimate market — perfect for a quick stop if you're staying in the Corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. The focus is on quality: specialty cheeses, fine wines, cured meats, and organic imports. It's not a full supermarket, but what it carries is well-curated.
Best for: Specialty cheeses, fine wines, organic imports, quick Corridor stop
Location: Tourist Corridor, between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo
Hours: Daily, typically 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM
10. Local Tiendas and Fruterías
Don't overlook the small neighborhood tiendas and fruit stands scattered throughout Los Cabos. These aren't chains — they're local businesses selling fresh produce, tortillas, bread, drinks, snacks, and everyday staples. They're perfect for grabbing a few items quickly, and you'll often find better prices on local fruits and vegetables than at the big stores. Look for them in residential neighborhoods and near local markets.
Best for: Quick buys, fresh local produce, authentic Mexican products
Locations: Throughout Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, and the Corridor
Hours: Vary by location
