Huerta Los Tamarindos Cabo ( is located just a few minutes from downtown San Jose Del Cabo, but it feels like a whole other world.
The 17-acre property dates back to the 19th century, when it became one of the region's biggest sugar cane producers. Restauranteur Enrique Silva purchased the property in 2003 and turned it into an organic farm.
A few years ago he transformed the historic ranch house into a fine dining establishment that has since become a popular venue for weddings and other events. Today, the farm provides fresh herbs and vegetables to many of the top restaurants and hotels in Los Cabos.
Enrique started our day by giving us a personal tour of the Huerta Los Tamarindos Cabo farm, where they grow everything from peppers to carrots, from cilantro to eggplants.
Being city kids, our girls are used to seeing herbs and vegetables in the supermarket. Having the opportunity to get up close and see exactly how food is grown from the soil was a great learning experience for them. And meeting the cows from the neighboring farm was fun too.
Then it was time to get cooking.
The organic cooking classes are conducted in this gorgeous outdoor kitchen.
Chef Gabriel Castillo led the class by having us chop garlic, rosemary, sage, and basil to make a delicious herb oil that we would use in just about every course of our meal.
We made eggplant rolls stuffed with ricotta cheese and topped with a delicious pomodoro sauce, chicken with green mole, red seasoned rice, and a dessert I've never tried before: zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta cheese and topped with guava jam.
As a special treat for our girls, Chef Gabriel also showed us how to make two different kinds of pizza: one with a regular crust, and one with a crust made of hoja santa leaves.
When the class ended, we were seated in the Huerta Los Tamarindos Cabo restaurant where they served us each of the 4 courses we cooked. They were absolutely delicious. And the margaritas were fantastic too!
Here are a few insider tips to make your experience the best that it can be.
Insider Tip 1:
Wear closed-toe shoes
The grounds at the Huerta Los Tamarindos Cabo farm can get quite muddy, so you'll be most comfortable if you wear closed-toe shoes. Our girls were in flip-flops that day and got very messy. If I had to do it again, I'd put them in sneakers or crocs.
Insider Tip 2:
Don't worry about getting back
Huerta Los Tamarindos Cabo feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, and you might be nervous about how you're going to get back to your hotel. But don't sweat it. The team here knows to call you a cab as dessert is served, so that the taxi will arrive by the time you've finished your meal.
Insider Tip 3:
Bring the recipe book home
After enjoying these scrumptious dishes, you'll definitely want to try them again. The good news is, you'll receive a booklet with detailed recipes of the dishes you made that day. So anytime you want, you can relive the incredible flavors of Mexico right in your own home.

Acre Farm Restaurant | Hotel | Cabos Finest | KT Morgan | Sandra Morgan | Los Cabos Real Estate
What started as a mango farm on 25 acres in the heart of San Jose farmland, Acre has evolved into a restaurant, bar, hotel and events center. Upon arrival, the walk to the restaurant is through lush vegetation and canopies of palms, mangos, and centuries-old Cardon cactus. The modern concrete design of the place blends wonderfully with the farm to table restaurant. We dined on their brunch menu at the bar area. We were greeted by the mascot Burrito, a recent rescued Burro who thinks he is a puppy. Oakley was not too sure about that description and kept a watchful eye. The open kitchen gives diners a show. These chefs are blessed with freshly grown ingredients and utilize a wood fired bbq.
The bar is a world unto itself with a tasting room for the house tequila. The mixologists have award winning drinks and there is no lack of variety. We chose the Ojo Rojos to go with our brunch. The simple salad was a delight with fresh arugula, radishes and tomato picked that morning at the farm, the ricotta cheese was also hand made fresh and the beet crostini gave it a nice crunch. I chose the hearty Bacon Ranch Fried Chicken Sammy with sweet potatoes chips. Both were delicious. The farm to table concept is alive and well in this area with both Flora Farms and Tamarindo restaurants close by.
Team Cabos Finest always enjoy doing restaurant reviews and this was another chance to spend some time at this amazing destination. The grounds include the farm, pool area, events lawn, fire pits, bocci ball, trail systems throughout the grounds and hotel tree-houses. The Acre animal family includes peacocks, roosters, Nigerian dwarf goats, puppies needing a home, and don’t forget Burrito the burro.
The tree-houses are rustic meets modern with walls constructed of locally used branches. These sit high up off the ground with nice intimacy and privacy. We spoke to some couples who were enjoying their stay and all seemed thrilled with this unique hotel concept. Nightly rates start at $275. Each tree-house has a king sized bed, a small bathroom, outdoor shower, wi-if and patio overlooking the grounds. Stays include daily two-course breakfast, morning yoga, and free rein to enjoy all the ever-growing grounds have to offer.
The restaurant and bar are the centers of attention and the heart of acre. The staff are all smiles and happy to make your meal experience. Savor it in Chef Luzande’s food, a marriage of global influences and local ingredients that evolves with the seasons. Taste it in their innovative cocktail program, with award-winning concoctions.
Overall I would describe the time at Acre as relaxed but refined. We left feeling happy and content and will surely return for another tasty meal.

A Taste of San José del Cabo! Day Trip - CaboViVO Style
| A Taste of San José del Cabo
Thanks to its big-time fishing tournaments and boisterous nightlife, Cabo San Lucas is now the more famous of the two cape cities that largely populate the Los Cabos municipality. But this was not always so. Until the advent of the tourist age some 50 years ago, San José del Cabo was far better known.
Before 1960, there was little in Cabo San Lucas save a cannery and about 300 residents. San José del Cabo, by contrast, has been an important regional community for almost 300 years, since the Jesuits first built a mission there in 1730.
Not only is it the current seat of local government, but it boasts the sort of historic architecture unknown in Cabo San Lucas, from a beautiful old Catholic church to a stately City Hall topped with a nearly century-old old clock tower, and a courtyard filled with murals that trace the history of both the region and the country at large.
Outside City Hall, outlined by an enormous flag and the broad central plaza, lies the Jardín de los Cabeños Ilustres. This is the place of honor reserved for busts and plaques detailing the accomplishments of the area’s most famous residents, including Lt. José Antonio Mijares, whose elevated monument was built on the place he died defending his homeland during the Mexican–American War.
Nowhere, however, is this colonial style city’s beauty shown to greater advantage than in its picturesque and cobblestone studded Distrito del Arte, where each Thursday evening during tourist season galleries throw open their doors to celebrate the seasonal Art Walk.
Like Todos Santos, San José del Cabo has long been noted for its thriving arts community. Aficionados will find works both contemporary and classic, including high-quality painting, sculpture, pottery, glassware and jewelry.
An eye for art is hardly a prerequisite to enjoy the weekly event, however, since the Distrito del Arte is also home to a flourishing drinking and dining scene.
The state’s first microbrewery, Baja Brewing Company, is located in the heart of the Art District, as is one of the region’s finest taquerias, La Lupita Tacos & Mezcal.
The region’s burgeoning farm-to-table movement is also centered in San José del Cabo. Beyond the city streets and the sculpture lined marina at Puerto Los Cabos, acclaimed restaurants like Flora’s Field Kitchen, Acre and Huerta Los Tamarindos are returning Mexican cuisine to its roots. Literally.
The chefs at these bucolic eateries source their organic fruits and vegetables from adjoining fields, their seafood fresh from local waters.
| CaboViVO is your video guide to the breathtaking natural beauty, vibrant culture and boisterous nightlife that make Los Cabos one of the most spectacular and exciting places on earth.

Authenticity also drives our food and cocktail program. Kevin, Oscar and Dani are obsessed with using only those ingredients that are closest at hand. Between our own farm and neighbouring suppliers, our ingredients don't travel very far to your plate or glass.
At the same time we've been able to develop an extremely creative food and cocktail program, similar to what you might find in a large city. We're certain Los Cabos is ready for this type of experience.

In a world of endless stimulation, we are a nod to the subtle things.
It’s morning coffee from your hammock and a Razer ride to the East Cape’s shores before courtyard cocktails with friends at twilight. It’s sun-drenched yoga followed by farm-grown breakfast and a dip in your plunge pool with a good book. It’s a day spent exploring our mango groves, capped by a delectable meal at our restaurant and a fire-pit nightcap.
It is the co-mingling of world-class amenities with lush natural beauty, the splendor of indulging or doing nothing at all. We call it grounded luxury.

DWP Congress 2018 Mexico - Day 3 Event at Acre Restaurant (Los Cabos)
This is my footage from the Acre Restaurant for the day 3 event of the 2018 DWP Congress in Los Cabos Mexico. This beautiful venue was the Acre Restaurant. This is a beautiful Garden to Table Restaurant/event venue with guest houses and some amazing gardens full of palm trees in the driest of climates. QnA International really did an amazing job and the whole 3 day conference was a great experience. Every night there was an amazing event which was better than the last. I loved this beautiful restaurant/venue. This is a conference for the top Destination Wedding Planners and we were there to try and sell our country Antigua and Barbuda.
