By gate signs for Terminal 1 departures, Cabo Wabo pops up fast.
This Cabo Wabo is in Terminal 1, post-security, so you hit it after passport control and the standard duty free maze. It runs during normal departure hours, roughly from the first morning flights until the late-evening bank, so you can usually swing by even on an early 7:00 flight or a 21:00 departure.
Cabo Wabo here leans hard into branded tequila bottles and logo merch, not general perfume-and-chocolate duty free. You see Sammy Hagar labels lined up in multiple sizes, from 375 ml souvenir bottles up to standard 750 ml, with airport pricing that’s often a few US dollars higher than town liquor shops but still fine if you forgot earlier.
Most folks grab tequila, but there’s also Cabo Wabo T‑shirts, caps, and shot glasses printed with “Cabo” and “SJD” that run in the US$10–30 range. Good spot if you need one last gift for someone at home and don’t want to dig through your checked bag in the check‑in hall of Terminal 1 again.
Don’t expect full duty free breadth here: if you want perfume, cosmetics, or big chocolate cartons, the larger generic duty free store in Terminal 1 has more brands and multi‑buy promos. Cabo Wabo is narrower, more about the label and the bar tie‑in than about hunting for a discounted 1‑liter of standard tequila or whisky.
Tip: prices show in pesos and often in US dollars; snap a quick currency check on your phone before paying so you know if cash or card in MXN gives you the better deal for that Cabo Wabo bottle.
