    This is the cutest place ever!! We were welcomed with such great hospitality. It is owned by husband and wife and they brought us lots of complimentary starters made by her and the food was designed to perfection. Everything was so fresh and tasted so good. They seem like such a passionate couple and have such a cool story for the restaurant. Overall amazing experience!!!

    Flavorful vegan tacos - especially soy and mushroom. Be prepared to be patient as they are making everything from scratch. Chilaquiles were ok - too thick for our liking and not soaked enough. Banana smoothie was great! Loved having so many vegan options to choose from and the cute interiors.

    Tropical Kitchen is a little hidden gem in old Cabo. This family run, boho vegan café takes pride in thier food - all sauces and dressings and plant based milks are all made in house with love. What stood out was not only the kind service but the complimentary Hibiscus Flower Pastor and is not to missed. Seriously this topping is crack and can be added to any item on thier menu. I told the owner he should sell it in a tub because it's that good. I opted for the Xcacrel Acai Smothie Bowl and my hubby had the Monte Cristo. You can taste and see the love they put into thier creations. With were satisfying and the owner even offered additional seed toppings because I devoured what I had in my bowl. If you're looking for a healthy, laid back, boho vibe cafe away from the hustle and bustle of Cabo, make the short trek inward to TC. This place is sure not to be missed. Oh and the music playing was .

    Charming, visually lovely vegan spot in Cabo Great vegan spot in Cabo, absolutely adored the ambiance of the restaurant, they had a lovely eclectic selection to choose from, the food was imaginary, so aesthetically appealing and immensely flavorful.

    The vibrant interior atmosphere of the restaurant.

    This is hands down a hidden gem in downtown Cabo San Lucas! I was searching for a unique restaurant on Yelp and this one quickly caught my attention by their vibrant atmosphere and unique foods. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I loved the murals, plants, and tropical bird mobiles decorating the walls and ceilings. The cook/owner of the restaurant is a really friendly guy and we had great conversations about his family and the concept of the restaurant. The food is purely vegetarian and vegan, now I'm a carnivore but I still loved all of it! One of the things that stood out to me was how they provide authentic Mexican food with healthy and eye-catching detail. I was not disappointed and will go there anytime I'm in Cabo!

    My favorite place on earth. Tropical Kitchen is a hidden gem in Cabo San Lucas. You'll find this fruity oasis when you escape the crowds and explore deeper into the city. I've visited the Tropical Kitchen twice now - once with my brother and another with my parents. Both visits left us as lifelong supporters of this concept. It's hard not to be when the business is ran by the sweetest husband and wife duo - #couplegoals. Every item on their menu is handcrafted and made fresh to order. I've tried both their acai bowls and smoothies and each left me wanting more. The presentation is also top notch! You won't find a more aesthetic menu item in all of Cabo. The açaí bowls are served on hand painted platters and the smoothies come with their own tiki hut. While the Tropical Kitchen specializes in smoothies and acai bowls, they recently launched additional menu items like burritos, tortas, and chilaquiles. I'm obsessed with this place and wouldn't make a trip to Cabo without at least one to two visits!

    Amazing breakfast and service! One of my best meals in Cabo! Beautiful plates and interesting condiments

    Cute place! We came by earlier today and the food presentation was so beautiful. The smoothie was so refreshing and not too sweet at all! It was refreshing and it had nice bits of chunks of fruits to it. There were also coconuts and chia seeds. We also had cold brew frappe it was very delicious and refreshing! My boyfriend ordered this. Additionally we ordered the green chiqualies and the xcalel açaí bowl. We really liked the chiqualies but the açaí bowl was a bit sour! It tasted healthy tho :-) next time we're around we would try the smoothie bowl.

    Tropical Waffles
    Sarah E.

    Loved this place so much we went here twice on our trip to Cabo! The interior is gorgeous and inviting to local birds. We had excellent service from the owners both times we went and the food was incredible. I highly recommend ordering anything with the hibiscus "al pastor" (they bring out a bit for you to try with chips when you arrive). It was so delicious I'm going to attempt to recreate it at home! I also ordered the Tropical Waffles on our second visit to which I also highly recommend (my boyfriend says they were the best waffles he's ever had)! We had people in our group that were vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and had no dietary restrictions, and everyone was so satisfied with their meal. Can't recommend this place enough!

    My friends and I were in Cabo for four days and after stumbling upon this hidden gem, we visited three times. It's clear the owners (Jazmin and Allan) are passionate about their dream -- they have made Tropical Kitchen a warm, inviting place, with tons of healthy vegan options. They welcomed us into their restaurants as if it was their own home and I loved getting to know them both. They generously shared their history, ambitions, and love for cooking -- which is all based in the chef/owners hometown in Mexico. Everything we had on the menu was delicious (including fresh fruit smoothies) and had a beautiful presentation. I was so happy to be able to take home a bottle of their traditional chile de arbol salsa for myself! We also went to their newer venture (Selva Taqueria), which is 2 blocks away, and enjoyed a lovely taco dinner and agua fresca. I am already excited to visit them on my next trip to Cabo to see their dreams and menus grow!

    Sooo fun inside

    Obsessed with tropical kitchen...wish I could clone this cafe for my hometown! We were in Cabo for 4 days and came here 3 days in a row. The food and smoothies are crafted with love and the owners are passionate about their business. Love the complimentary chip and dip, huevos rancheros, the BEANS omg, and the QUETZAL smoothie (packed with phenomenal greens).

    the freshest açaí bowl I've ever had.  Mexican coffee with cinnamon.

This place pleasantly surprised me. I ordered the bacon-wrapped shrimp in sauce, and it was excellent. What really caught me off guard, though, were the vegetables on the side. They were so flavorful and perfectly prepared that I was genuinely impressed, which is saying a lot because vegetables are rarely memorable. The shrimp themselves were delicious and cooked perfectly. We also had the coconut-crusted lobster, which was very good as well. The only minor drawback was that the mashed potatoes were a little cold when they arrived. Overall, I'd rate the experience a 4.5 out of 5, which is high praise coming from me. Despite being in a tourist area, The Office delivered flavorful, well-prepared food and exceeded my expectations. I would definitely return.

    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.
