About
Los Tamarindos sits on a working organic farm near San José del Cabo, offering one of the most distinctive dining experiences in all of Los Cabos. The editorial summary says it plainly: organic, garden-to-table cuisine in a quaint eatery on a former sugar cane farm. What that means in practice is that the farm is working, the garden is real, and the ingredients in your meal were growing in the ground a few hours before you arrived.
For families, this is not the easiest restaurant logistically — it is upscale casual, requires reservations, and is a 35-minute drive from Cabo San Lucas. But the educational component alone sets it apart. Children who are old enough to pay attention will see exactly how food is grown and processed before it reaches the plate.
The farm walk, the open-air kitchen setting, and the vegetable gardens all combine to make even a slow lunch feel like an experience.
The 4.5-star rating from 454 reviews reflects consistent quality. Price level 3 means this is a splurge relative to most family meals in Cabo. Reservations are not optional — call 624 317 0142 or book at lostamarindos.mx well in advance, particularly on weekends. Hours run 1–10 PM daily.

Why Kids Love It
