Huerta los Tamarindos

Been coming to Cabo for 25+ years and this was one of most enjoyable dining experiences we’ve had. Heard about the farm to table restaurants cropping up and went to check out Flora Farms. Lovely property and great garden tour but very pricey and commercial. I did buy some produce to take home and it was incredible.
We drove to Tamarindos because it was on the list and are glad we chose to eat here instead. Good signage from San Jose made it easy to find and only a short distance on a dirt road so no problem getting there.
We Made a reservation for the following night and thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening. Beautiful Adobe farmhouse built in 1888 overlooking the farm area. The large palapa does make the dining area a little bIt dark but at sunset plenty of good lighting came on the patio and in the garden area. We were there about 6:00 with only one other couple seated but by 8:30 when we left it was full.
Not everything served is grown there but all the fresh produce is and meat and fish (of course) is locally sourced. We shared the ceviche trilogy as an appetizer and it was fabulous. I ordered the eggplant roll ups which were actually an appetizer but plenty large as an entrée. The ricotta cheese and organic tomato sauce were just enough to complement the flavor and not overwhelm the eggplant. And the sauce was so sweet and flavorful. My husband had the pork shank with green mole which was incredible as well.
A bottle of nice Italian Pinot Grigio to top it all off and fantastico! A truly magical evening with my husband. Tamarindos just became our special dinner out place for next year’s trip.

Tamarindos was hyped as a great farm-​to-​table restaurant by the hosts of our Airbnb in Mexico. While the setting was nice and the staff were very friendly, the food was mediocre and there were several mix-​ups with the menu (different prices on different menus, and some dishes weren’t available at all). The menu also seemed to be Italian inspired with eggplant parmesan and margherita pizzas, but very basic. Was expecting traditional mexican food, but it didn’t really stack up. Maybe just one bad experience, because I’ve heard good things about it. But my family tried several different dishes, and we weren’t sold on any of them.

Very difficult to find not worth the drive. Food was just okay Resturant was a bit too dark as well. Save the drive

That was an amazing meal. I mean, amazing. This place is farm to table, in a lovely setting just outside San Jose deal Cabo.
We arrived after taking a rather circuitous route (don’t use google maps!!!) and were a bit ready for a drink. We were greeted with a lovely lemongrass iced team and then seated under a palapa for an incredible prix fixe meal. You don’t have to do the fixed price, but we did. It started with ceviche 3 ways and grilled octopus — to die for. And I can’t imagine ordering octopus!
They have a wood burning open fireplace and everything smells so good. Next course was a tomato soup. Then a multi-​lettuce salads as well as a grilled eggplant and zucchini vegetable dish. Followed then by pork, steak and tuna from the wood burner. For dessert, there were 3 tastings — I loved the flan especially.
The wine selection was quite nice with my favorite red and white being Chilean. They offered a 30 minute tour either before or after, but we instead headed to San Jose.
This was a leisurely meal — expect 2 – 3 hours of loveliness. I highly recommend this experience and would do it again in a heartbeat!
They also do cooking classes right there in the kitchen which sounds like a great thing to do.

We had a great time here! Friendly service, quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and the food was incredible! We had a relaxing dinner and wonderful time here! It was worth the drive from the city.

Very authentic food but for this gringo probably too «authentic». The ribeye was boiled, the vinagrette salad was nothing but greens, the dessert was some type of mashed mango with cheese and the mint margarita was average at best. It was down a few dirt roads and a challenge to find. Would i go there again. Probably not.

This place is amazing! The food is delicious, the drinks are refreshing, the environment is serene, and the staff is delightful. Down to the details of the beautiful serviceware, the entire experience was wonderful. All the food is organic and local, when possible. I had the catch of the day — a white fish grilled to perfection. It was not over-​seasoned or drenched in sauces, but instead the flavor of the fish was allowed to take center stage. The veggies alongside were fresh and delicious. My compadres got steak and pork. We all shared bites, commenting of the deliciousness of it all.
The covered outdoor patio sits up and looks out over the farm and gardens where much of the food is grown. You can even take a spiral staircase to the roof of the building to get a panoramic view!
We drove from Cabo San Lucas and it took about 45 minutes. I would recommend driving here when it is still light out, because once you get off the main road onto the dirt roads, you will need to watch for the «Los Tamarindos» signs that point you in the right direction. Also… MAKE RESERVATIONS ahead of time so they know you are coming. They have regular hours posted on the website, however, when we arrived, we were the only guests there and lucky that someone else had made a reservation (they never showed), or else they told us that sometimes they don’t open if they aren’t expecting anyone.
There’s also a sweet little gift shop if you want to take part of the experience home.
If you are in the area… you MUST go to Los Tamarindos!

Este huerto restuarante ubicado en San José es espectacular, es una especie de cabaña que te hace sentir en la campiña Italiana o también en México. A un lado se encuentra el huerto donde producen los vegetales que usan para cocinar y la comida es espectacular.
Recomiendo la sopa de tomate rostizado o los tomates deshidratados, las aguas frescas son deliciosas y tienen unas ensaladas formidables.
La carta cambia constantemente según la temporada y productos frescos.
Cuenta con una pequeña tienda donde puedes comprar mermeladas, moles, salsas, etc.
Si van a San Jose del Cabo no duden de ir a visitar este lugar, no se arrepentirán y los precios son de nivel medio.

My cousins treated me to this cooking class while we vacationed in Cabo. I was blown away by the whole experience. We were lucky because it was just the 3 of us plus another couple who were ex pats living in Cabo. The grounds are beautiful and what we cooked was yummy. There was a lot of hands on cooking aside from the chopping and stuff.
I think it would have been more fun if we were able to pick some of the herbs and veggies we cooked.
