    Excellent food and wonderful ambiance. Love the 100+ yr old tree accented basket lanterns. Lighted agave plants and exposed walls. They surprised us with a little tasting of tortilla soup before our main meal came out. A nice touch. Food sourced from a nearby farm. We chatted with the owner and you could see his passion for creating a great experience for his patrons. Highly recommend!

    The name is Tamarindos Centro, and is part of the Tamarindos farm to table restaurant. Very nice Patio with amazing trees and cozy lightening. The food is really good and healthy, lots of veggies and some nice dishes. Had the Pasta Pesto, Quails, Octopus, Arrugula Pear salad. Guaba cheese cake. Only mexican wines, that limits options.

    5 for ambiance 4.5 for food 5 for service 4 for price Tequila is a romantic, hidden garden dining experience in the heart of San Jose del Cabo. If you are reading this - order the tartar. More on this later. We found out about the place through a video blog on YouTube, Claire Bahn. She had a video about top 5 places in San Jose del Cabo. As we trekked through the fun Art Walk, evading the owners of the pharmacias trying to sell us pain pills and Cialis, we found the restaurant not too far off the beaten path. The ambience was really calm and as we walked in we were greeted with a smile. The food was fresh and delicious. HIGHLIGHT The yellowtail tartar with toasted sunflower seeds was the best tartar we have ever had. We also had the caprese salad. I ordered the seafood linguini which had shrimp and mussels. I never had ordered muscles in my entire life, so I wanted to be adventurous. I read some reviews on Swarm that the shrimp is great here, so I took a chance. Glad I did! My wife ordered the sea bass. It was cooked to perfection, but could have used some herbiness or a drizzle of something to get another layer of complexity. Jorge, the main manager or owner, talked to us and wanted to get to know us. He really took an interest in us and took in what we were saying. We realized he owned restaurants in our old neighborhood of Encino.

    Roasted Caesar and arugula beet salads. Loved the rustic dishes

    A delightful surprise just off the SW corner of the San Jose plaza (2 blocks west). Lush tropical jungle setting with ambient lighting, nice Mexican music (not annoying like most places), friendly staff and excellent chef. Menu is creative and varied using fresh local ingredients. Homemade tortillas made to order for each party. They closed for six months due to Covid and just reopened Nov 1 so support this great restaurant!

    Beautiful, enchanted garden. That's really all you need to know. The food was good...super fresh, but could've have used a bit more seasoning for my taste. Beautiful presentation. Wine list limited, but the management went out of their way to please our group. So service A+. I was there for a girls night, but it's terribly romantic, perfect for a date night/special occasion. The courtyard is just so stunningly captivating and beautifully lit, I wouldn't really care what I ate or drank. Looking forward to returning with my husband some day.

    Ahi Tuna Amazing!!!

    VERY, very glad we decided to dine at Tequila. Definitely deserves a 5-star rating. We had the crab cake appetizer that was unreal and the clams that were perfect. My wife had the linguini dish which was nice but will have a different dish next visit but the seafood in it was awesome. Now... I had the catch of the day which was Ahi Tuna. It was a big portion as shown in a he photo. I didn't want rare but medium-rare. They nailed it! The herb seasoning was so good. I encourage you to give this a try. Being from Arizona I look for awesome seafood when near the ocean and Tequila was the best we had during our 10 day trip. Thank you Tequila and Nacho (server).

    Went there for a late lunch. It was not very busy. Service was very prompt and friendly…read more Food was excellent, including some great vegetarian options. They even offered us some complimentary chips and a variety of fresh and tasty salsas. The cactus tacos and guacamole was also nice. They had nice decor and wall artwork that added to the charm. Would recommend stopping by for a taco or two if you're in the area.

    Wow! What a great experience we had at La Lupita Taco and Mezcal…read more This is a taco place. Don't expect any else on the menu except soup & salad and a couple of apps & sides. There is an indoor area or outside courtyard you can choose from. We had the pleasure of working with several Staff members including our main waiter, Marco as well as Ivan and Miriam. They were all so fun and attentive. They brought us a small serving of soup as an appetizer. My husband had a taste of the tortilla broth which had a little kick to it and I had the bean soup. Both were a nice sampling of the soup they offered. We ordered the chips & huac to start. The chips were thick and crispy. The guacamole tasted super fresh and bright. Now, the tacos are some of the best tacos we've ever eaten in MX or the US. The creativity and variety of toppings were outstanding. I really enjoyed the EL TAKESHI 190MX Rib Eye, Sesame, Hoisin, Ginger, Chives, Crispy Shallots, Flour tortilla. The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavor they developed was delicious. I also ordered the MEXICAN FLANK STEAK $150MX. Fresh Chiapas Cheese , Arugula, Crispy Leek & Potato, Macha Sauce, Yellow Corn tortillas. All these flavors worked so well together. One of the tastiest tacos they have on the menu is a cheese based tortilla taco called CHEESE CRUST PASTOR $100MX. Talk about a flavor bomb. Marinated Pork, Asadero Cheese Crust, Cilantro, Onion, Pineapple. My husband also ordered the CHIPOTLE SHRIMP $165MX. Shrimp, Chipotle Cream, fried parsley, flour tortilla. He loved it. For my Arizona friends, they will be opening a Scottsdale location in 2027. I can wait. Add this to your must try restaurants. Also, they just opened a location in Dallas Texas.

We had our wedding there so these are my sentiments on that. From start to finish, the team went truly above and beyond. Mariana, our day-of planner, was exceptional-- calm & proactive. She anticipated needs before they arose and ensured the entire day flowed seamlessly. Ernesto, the property manager, was equally incredible. He guided us through the wine selections with care and expertise and was hands-on throughout the reception--circulating among guests, refilling glasses, and making sure everyone felt taken care of (perhaps a little too well, in the best way). The execution of the wedding was flawless. Everything we envisioned and described was brought to life exactly as we had hoped--if not better. Dinner was a dream: a long, elegant table set beneath the passion fruit vines, surrounded by the sounds and scents of the farm and garden. The reception under the stars felt intimate and enchanting. Mariana recommended soft lighting along the path to the restrooms so guests could move safely and comfortably--a small detail that speaks volumes about the level of care. She even set them up for us as we brought some beautiful Luminary bags from the states - guests loved this touch. Our guests could not stop praising the venue's natural beauty. The smells of the garden, the warmth of the farm, and the effortless elegance of the setting made the evening unforgettable. Dancing all night in the banana grove is a memory we will carry with us forever. The vibe was natural and authentic, unlike some other venues that seem commercial - so this fit us perfectly. We are endlessly grateful to the Tamarindos team for creating such a meaningful, stunning, and joy-filled experience. This venue is truly special, and we cannot thank them enough.

Our table was…read moreright next to the bar, so we got to watch the drinks being hand-crafted, which added to the experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful--definitely a great spot if you like taking photos. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and a standout touch was the chef coming to our table to explain menu items and offer recommendations. The Caesar salad was delicious, and honestly, everything we tried was great. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the overall experience made it worth it. There was also a mariachi band playing the night we visited, which created a fun and lively atmosphere--just don't forget to bring some cash to tip them (unlike us!). Overall, it felt like a polished, slightly upscale dining experience. They also have a small shop inside the restaurant with souvenirs, which was a nice bonus.

They sat us inside with all the flowers, which already felt so romantic and intimate. Our server, Max, was incredible. Like truly one of the kindest people. He went out of his way to make everything feel special, and even took a bunch of photos for us during the proposal which I will forever be grateful for. After, they brought us champagne to celebrate which was such a thoughtful touch. We also had the chicken fajitas and margaritas and both were so good. Honestly, this has already been one of our favorite spots when we're in the area, but now it means so much more to us. The ambiance is always beautiful, everyone is so kind, and this experience just made it unforgettable. Thank you Jazmins for being genuinely amazing, and Max--thank you for your hospitality and for being part of such an important moment in our lives

    I'll tell you right now if you're anywhere near Cabo and you skip Los Tres Gallos, you messed up…read more This place sits right in downtown but once you walk inside boom beautiful courtyard, lights hanging everywhere, and a mariachi band that doesn't just play music... they attack your table with joy. I'm talking the kind of band that makes you want to order another margarita just so you can clap along like you suddenly grew up in Guadalajara. And the food? Real-deal Mexican classics mole, enchiladas, chile rellenos big flavors coming out of a kitchen that knows what it's doing. Now let's talk about the chips and salsa, because I didn't come here to play games. Some restaurants give you chips like they're doing you a favor three chips and a little salsa like it's a museum sample. Not here. These chips show up ready to party. Crunchy, warm, and the salsa hits you like, "Hola amigo, welcome to flavor." Add the incredible service and that mariachi band floating through the courtyard and suddenly dinner turns into a whole event. Honestly, this place was one of the highlights of my Cabo trip and my socks? Yeah... they're still somewhere on the floor from those chips and salsa.

    Environment was nice up until the flies swarm your food and staff does nothing about it!…read more Happened on 2026-04-12 at 6pm, lovely evening, the restaurant has a nice environment and food came out quick. But that was the end of the positive things as a swarm of flies quickly came to eat the food. Trying to swat them away helped a bit but there was way too many of them. I eventually flagged a waiter down, and he shrugged at the flies. A minute later some candle flame thing came out saying that it will help with the flies but already that was too late as flies were all over the food and I lost my appetite at that point. It was disgusting. I just got up and left. Went to cashier to pay my bill. The cashier also shrugged at my fly incident, and I asked how much it was going to be. Full price. No consideration about bad operating environment and since they knew about the fly issue they didnt setup before food was served to control it better. Even after bringing it up again in detail, she shrugged again. No sorry or anything, just a brush off. Then to make it even worse she asked if I wanted to tip the service. I was in there for a few minutes, staff didnt help quickly or even pre-empt the fly issue, and I'm being asked to pay full price. Sorry but no thanks. How did this place get on the Michelin list? Service poor. Environment poor. Zero or negative star rating for me.
