Used to love this restaurant 10 years ago. Decided,because we were with family to try it again. We had 12 people but 4 children. The food was good not great. $14 each for Childrens spaghetti and butter, more than california prices. And a small bowl of pasta. We had a reservation at 6:30 didn't get served until 8:00-8:15. I saw most of our food on the counter and no one brought it to our table until I complained about it. Very disappointed. Waiter was not friendly seemed over worked with only 5 tables occupied in the restaurant. I realize we had a large party but an hour and a half to get your food is outrageous. Not going back. read more

After coming to Cabo for 5 years we found THE BEST RESTAURANT in Jose del Cabo. Margaritas, tortilla soup, Cesar salad, steak with spinach and potatoes, yellowtail fish with rosemary potatoes and zucchini, Key lime pie. From the first bite to the last, AMAZING! Music was wonderful yet not overwhelming. read more

They did an exceptional job with all my food allergies by creating some dishes for me. The tequila shrimp was grilled perfectly and the taste was delicious. Homemade guacamole was smooth and yummy. The mole duet was quite good and the Veracruz was top tier as well. Service was extraordinary. Definitely will be back. read more

Amazing service, ambience and the food - the food and drinks - perfecto - not exaggerating when I say Tequila restaurant was the best meal of our trip!!!! Francisco is the amazing bartender who made the delicious pineapple and hibiscus mezcal margaritas!! José was our server - he was attentive and helpful in helping us choose between all the delicious choices!! Dessert - don't get me started - the chocolate cake and flan were outstanding!! Run, don't walk, to Tequila!!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

We came here about 5 years ago with the family and I remember being so impressed with the ambiance, service and food. My husband and I recently went there after the art and wine walk. Highly disappointed. Food was cold, overcooked, and the service was slow and sub par. It felt dirty inside and it just wasn't good. read more

As another reviewer said, don't let the non descript exterior fool you. This place is a gem. Dining in the outdoor courtyard in the back was awesome. It would be very romantic for a couple. We were there with a larger group so romance wasn't on the menu. But if you're a couple it would be very nice. We weren't able to order off the menu, had a fixed menu being in a group but the choices were very good. I had the Mediterranean fish & it was delicious. The beet salad was good as well. The service was top notch. I had a Malbec wine that was good & they also had a Spanish white that others said was good as well. The only downside was the flies. When we first sat down there were a couple of them, but once we said something the turned on several fans which kept them away for the rest of the evening. Very nice hidden gem. read more

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. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. Our friends took us here for NYE. We had such a lovely experience. The ambiance is beautiful and the restaurant is ran with heart. The romantic gardens, service and food were all amazing. We loved it so much that we went back again the following week. We've been in San Jose del Cabo for a few weeks now and have been to many restaurants here and this is hands down one of the best in the area. Our server Jose and Jerome were so great, they know how to make an evening feel special. The jumbo shrimp appetizer, grilled salad, and steak entree were some of our favorites. Also, the house margaritas are delightful. We can not wait to return! read more

Drinks were so good, 5/5!! Ambiance was a 5/5! So aesthetically pleasing, outdoors, treehouse oasis is what I could describe it as! Very peaceful and beautiful! We ordered the hibiscus and mint guava Margarita and mezcalita and they were both amazing! Would definitely be back! Need to try the food next which I'm used is equally delicious! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I like the authentic flavors here that are not overdone and think the chef is very talented. I ordered the jumbo shrimp with plantains and black beans and my husband ordered the fish of the day-both excellent. We ate outside which is generally very pleasant but there were a lot of mosquitos given the time of year- so wear pants! Also while I like this place very much, they said as we were trying to pay that their credit card Machine is broken- that should have been said at the outset since tourists generally pay by CC. I had to go the ATM to get Cash which has heavy surcharges. I wasn't clear about the reality of the situation but restaurants should have a backup CC payment system ready if they want quality diners to come back. read more

if you're looking for a good steak in san jose del cabo, this resataurant is the place to go. it's in a lovely tree filled graden with a lovely atmosphere. our waiter francisco was super and so was the food! it was called tequilla many years ago but during covid the name was changed to tamarindo. it's since changed back to it's original name so people might not know that it's the same place. amazing tenderloin and the new york strip steaks and their specialty drinks are, as the name might imply, margaritas and mezcalitas with an assortment flavors. the classic margarita was great but the roasted pineapple mezcalita was unbelievably great! definitely worth a visit. read more

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). read more

Feels like a secret garden hideaway. Very calm vibe, the way dining should feel. Step down into this oasis with good service. Stumbled into the this location literally. How enjoyable a fall from the street can be. It's also about the food. The fresh fish was cooked to perfection, very very hot, open charcoal flavor without a hint of being overcooked or dry in the least. Not a budget tour price but you get what you pay for if you enjoy the difference. read more

Nice place. Had NYE dinner here. The tamarind Margarita was good, I ordered the champagne & a Cadillac which I couldn't drink. Tuna tartar w/papetias app was yummy! My arugula salad with pistachio crusted goat cheese was yummy. Hubby's caesar salad was ok. We both got the surf& turf. The steak was done nicely, the lobster was just ok. Nice ambiance & good service. read more

We decided to get there early, but apparently we were too early! There was no one there besides us- we would have left but we were recommended to eat here so we did. The butter and bread wee so so. The crab cakes were really good, and the caesar salad was good too. I had the ribeye steak with garlic mash potatoes and zucchinis. The steak was good, big but lots of fat:( the zucchinis and carrots were really nice but the garlic mash potatoes were great! Ambiance is really cool and they supply several fans and even purse racks! Cool greenery and several glass lights hanging from branches. They play music and really cool chairs. The only bummer is that during the day there are lots of flys and mosquitos :( read more

I don't know how this place has escaped us for 20 years. It is humble at the street until you enter a beautiful quaint outdoor courtyard. We did a tequila tasting which was informative and fun. We had already eaten but decided to try the shrimp bomb, then ordered the stuffed poblano and taco trio..... and omg the food is out of this world! The hospitality is also impeccable and we felt at home even though we were the last ones there and wasn't rushed. Highly recommend making this your first stop, because it will become your last! read more

Unreal atmosphere! It feels like you are eating in a protected forest. Food and service were unlike anything I have seen in San Jose. Newly changed menu had great options. The spicy margarita is a must. read more

Everything we had was delicious. From the drinks, to appetizers to the main food. I recommend the octopus app along with the yellowtail tartar. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. They gave us bug spray to use and 3 fans to keep us cool during dinner. Definitely coming back. read more

After reading the reviews - we thought we give this place a try. We've been staying at the JW Mariott which is amazing, the food impeccable which makes this place just mediocre. The effort is there - but it doesn't make up for the $200 food bill. Not kid friendly, nothing for kids to eat. Margaritas were watered down. The food may be spectacular for others staying at different resorts but coming from the exclusive Mariott, it's just ok. read more

Wonderful and delicious food! They were very accommodating of our large group and drinks and food tasted wonderful! The fresh fish was a sea bass and the flavor from the wood grill made it taste phenomenal! This is a must visit restaurant! read more

This used to be our favorite restaurant. We've come here every two years since 2014. The menu is completely different and, in our opinion, worse. It used to have more of a variety of options and now it's basically the same thing in multiple ways. We didn't get asked for refreshers on our drinks, we didn't know who our server was, they couldn't understand a word we were saying which made it super difficult. When we were given the bill, we never were given a place to sign or put a tip, but it doesn't matter because the tip would've been $0. Definitely won't be back here, super disappointing as this was our favorite restaurant. In addition, when three of us were given our starters, the other two in our party were given their entrees. They had to eat their meals before they got cold, so they were finished with their meal long before the three of us were even given our entrees. Disappointed in the service, menu and attitude. The food was good but not good enough for us to come back. Very disappointing. read more

"Creative and Delicious" doesn't even come close to what this restaurant is all about. The food is incredibly good. And, the atmosphere is fantastic. A little hard to find; but, well worth the adventure. It is our "go to place" in San Jose del Cabo (Los Cabos area of the south Baja -- well worth finding it.). read more

A favorite of ours for many many years but we went there last week and I'm not sure what happened but it is really gone downhill. The server seems very confused about orders... The little bar in front has gone... The lobster was really lame... It disintegrated on our plate. Unfortunately we will not be going back to one of our old favorites. read more

You need to go here. This place is all about location and while its not much to look at from the outside, follow the smell inside for delicious open fire cooked seafood, polenta, rice and beans. They are not surprisingly excited to serve you a tequila based drink, but they also had a pretty solid wine list as well. I got tequila shrimp which was great. My buddy got some other seafood that she gobbled up incredibly quickly. More than the food, this cool backyard gardan where the tables are set up is to die for. You feel transported out of Baja into a land of awesome music, attentive service and great liquor. My only regret was that we didn't find this place sooner. It was a winner and a highlight of our trip. read more

Amazing! Just stumbled upon Tequila on a very sleepy Monday evening in San Jose del Cabo. Very discreet, we walked in expecting to sit inside and then bam - the most beautiful back patio just for us! We were the only ones there all night! In addition to the atmosphere, the service was seriously impeccable. They had the nicest, friendliest wait staff. And the food. The FOOD! We got a complimentary squash and truffle taster and super delicious bread with basil. Fish tartar and tequila shrimp were amazing. I'm going to be dreaming about those plantains for days. One of the gentlemen called us a cab at the end of the night and really, we were so thankful. Yes, it was pricier than we planned, but so worth it for a nice special occasion. Definitely check it out! read more

Excellent service. Tucked away under a beautiful canopy of trees and palapas. Mexican dishes with artistic presentation and traditional ingredients served in a fresh style and flare. Sipped tequila with our meal. read more

Food was ok. Service was extremely slow. Expect to sit here for 2 hours on a night with very few people there. They also seem to conveniently be "out" of pizza pretty consistently with tourists... read more

This was such a great find! In the inside you will find a hidden gem! The restaurant has a garden inside which made it very romantic for dinner! The service was impeccable! As far as the menu goes, it is kind of pricy! We decided on ordering 2 appetizers and 2 tamarind margaritas and our bill was around $50. If you come here it has to be for the experience! We really enjoyed the guy that was walking around singing songs with his guitar. So romantic! read more

Three of us had drinks, salad, entree, dessert and coffee. Everything was top notch..... a delight to the eyes and the palate. The linguine with seafood was loaded with nice-sized shrimp and more than we could eat. Flan for dessert was superb....one of the best I've every had. All for about $175 for 3 of us. We took the Urbano bus from our resort and a $7 US taxi ride back. We asked our waiter to arrange our taxi and he kindly got us the best rate. Be sure to include Tequila restaurant on your schedule....you will not be disappointed read more

Enjoyed a nice dinner with my husband for Valentine's Day. It was the evening of the Art Walk and I'm glad we had a reservation as the place was packed. The restaurant was able to accommodate our restrictive diet, which I am very thankful for. The Caesar salad & filet were one of the best I've had. The outdoor patio was the perfect backdrop for a romantic evening! read more

Firstly, this place has amazing food with robust flavors; everything from the Arugula salad to the Octopus to the Short Rib to the flan was made perfectly. The atmosphere is quaint sitting in the patio listening to soft acoustic guitar being played live. And the people are genuinely friendly and hospitable from our waiter Fransisco Nestor who patiently explained every ingredient to us to one of the owners who the previous day went out of his way to help us. We're definitely coming here again. read more

I'm not sure whether to give a good review or a bad review to this place. I have to say that the ambience is really nice, the menu looks great, and the food was very tasty. I was disappointed with the final step if you will. When they bring you the check, they have a stamp that says that you cannot leave tips in the credit card. Most of us hardly carry cash anymore and basically do transactions via credit card, especially in an expensive restaurant like this. I have been to places like tacos Rossies which is a very local place and I was able to leave my tip on the credit card and they even brought the terminal to me at the table. At Tequila, I only had 60 pesos, that was all the cash I had, so I took everything out of my wallet and put it in the check with my signed receipt. As I'm walking out the restaurant, waiter comes running and begins to tell me that in Mexico tips were higher and since I knew where he was going, I explained to him that I was glad that he pointed this out and that the problem was that I could not leave a tip on the credit card. He said Oh and that was the end of the conversation. Having said that I feel like it is deceiving and wrong from the restaurant to do this to its employees and also to the customers. Again, the food was expensive but good. This place only caters to Americans, but then they need to allow for tips. I will never be back. read more

Recent food poisoning leaves something to be desired. Second time in 12 months this happened. Never coming back.

By far one of the best hidden gems in Cabo. The atmosphere the food the tequila are amazing !!!!!! Don't be intimidated by the outside the inside is beautiful!! Must try read more

I have been using the App, G. Spotting, for years. GP has never steered me wrong until now. We arrived at 6:45 for a 7:15 reservation. We were seated fairly quickly. They immediately took our drink order but we did not receive our menus for 20 minutes. Big mistake, don't order an appetizer. The staff while friendly seemed confused about the menu and their role in the restaurant. We did not have one consistent waiter. If we asked for something, it was a 50/50 chance we were getting it. When the food finally came, I have to say it was delicious and hot. We ate it all, but it was close to 8:30/8:45pm. When we done, our table was cleared. No one ever came back. I asked for our bill several times and finally after going to the front, the hostess brought it back. The ladies bathroom was broken and no running water. So that was gross. This place has tons of potential. The ambiance is great. The food was good. It just needs someone to run it. Super sad for our last night in Mexico! read more

Five star experience. Amazing food, beautiful place, great location and truly a great experience. I will come back to San Jose just to go to this restaurant. read more
