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!!!
Steven H.

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).

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

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.

La Lupita in San José del Cabo absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment we walked in, the…read moreatmosphere was lively and inviting -- colorful décor, upbeat music, and that perfect blend of locals and visitors that tells you you're in the right place. It has that energetic taco-bar vibe people rave about, but still feels relaxed enough to really enjoy your meal. We started with the guacamole and it was excellent -- fresh, bright, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made to order. A great way to kick things off. For tacos, everything we tried was outstanding. The cheese shell al pastor was next level -- crispy, savory, and indulgent in the best way. The pastor had that smoky-sweet flavor people always mention in reviews, with just the right char. The miso fish taco was a surprise standout -- super flavorful, slightly sweet and umami-forward, and perfectly cooked. The milanesa taco had great crunch and seasoning, and the chipotle shrimp packed just the right amount of smoky heat without overpowering the shrimp. You can tell why so many reviews mention the creativity here -- these aren't just standard street tacos. The flavor combinations are bold and unique while still feeling authentically Baja. Service was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. Drinks were great, the energy was fun without being overwhelming, and the whole experience felt memorable. If you're in San José del Cabo and want elevated tacos in a vibrant setting, La Lupita is a must.

Acre absolutely blew us away. My biggest recommendation: arrive at least an hour before your…read morereservation to wander the property and meet the animals. The grounds are stunning -- peaceful, lush, and effortlessly cool -- with the perfect balance of elevated resort vibes and warmth. What makes it even more special is that Acre also operates an animal rescue, helping save dogs from the streets and even arranging adoptions around the world. We legitimately almost adopted one while we were there. The entire culinary concept is organic farm-to-table, and you can truly taste the difference in every dish. Everything felt intentional, fresh, and incredibly well executed. Food highlights: - The mixed beet salad was hands down the best beet salad I've ever had in my life. - The crispy rice bites are a must order. - The catch-of-the-day ceviche with soaked jicama and green apple was phenomenal and one of the most unique, well-balanced ceviche preparations I've ever had. - Steak tacos were fantastic. - The tomato tartare with fresh and sun-dried tomatoes, light aioli, and crackers completely surprised us -- insanely flavorful and memorable. Cocktails were equally impressive: - Sips & Beets (my fav. I love beets & I love mezcal. Didn't think they would go, but had to try. It's outstanding!) - Margarita independente was my other fav - Guayabita - Espresso martini made with tequila And beyond the food, the hospitality was next level. Executive Chef David personally stopped by our table, chatted with us, and after noticing me taking photos, gifted me one of the dried decorative corns from the property. Such a thoughtful, genuine touch that perfectly reflects the spirit of Acre. This was one of those rare dining experiences that feels magical from beginning to end. We'll absolutely be back (this will become a spot we visit every trip to cabo!)

There's also a cute boutique infront of the restaurant. The service was exceptional. Big shoutout to David and Asia! Dinner and drinks were both phenomenal. We loved it so much we want to plan a trip to come back and stay in one of the treehouses. The entire place was just magical. I would highly recommend coming an hour before your reservation to walk around and visit the animals! There's horses, chickens, bunnies, dogs, cats, goats, etc! Seriously the best part of the trip. PS. Order an espresso martini! They make it table-side. Pairs nicely with the frozen key lime pie. Don't know how they do it but the crust is nice and chilly and the lime custard inside is soft. 10/10.
