Churches & Cathedrals
Misión San José del Cabo, a historic Catholic mission in San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1730. Initially located along the San Jose River, it was later moved several times due to various challenges including an indigenous uprising and natural disasters. The mission played a significant role in the Battle of San Jose Del Cabo during the Mexican-American war in 1847.
During my visit to Cabo on Feb 2025, I wanted to visit San Jose Del Cabo for the day. Our hotel concierge suggested to call for an Uber to the Mision, the heart of this neighborhood. This was my second time to visit this church. This time we came and sat down for a prayer before seeing the rest of downtown. It's a quiet church, old with a lot of generations of history. It's beautiful and reminded me of me of the cathedrals from my childhood city in the only Spanish colony in Asia. For hundreds of years my childhood country was tied in for commercial trade between Cabo and the Philippines. So it's special.

If you like Mexico, you will like it here. A lot of art. Much less noisy than Cabo St Lucas. If you are looking for a spring break atmosphere, then go there. Else come here. Don't expect any bargains either place.

It’s a church in the old town city center. Well kept, and photogenic. Maybe people inside sitting and taking it all in. Donation box at the entrance.

We visited this location as a result of the tour guide bringing us by this church location. Prior to going inside this specific church location, our tour guide gave us a mini history lesson on how the church was destroyed and rebuilt through the last hundred years of its existence. The tour guide also covered a few of the involved people related to the church history. The outside of the church appears to be renovated and painted. The inside of the church had members inside praying upon our entry, so the group was extremely quiet and respectful of the individuals sitting in the church praying as we walk through to take photographs and view the church. We did find that the church is still functional on several days during the week.

We went the weekend of Día de Los Muertos. It was beautifully set up and decorated and there were many artisan ma and merchants there, many of whom had at least some themed items. It was nice, respectful, not commercial feeling. The only thing was I guess I didn't understand the public toilets. No TP and it wasn't clear if the man outside then was selling it, because I didn't see any and he didn't make eye contact or say anything.

Art Walk San Jose Del Cabo is a highly anticipated event that takes place every Thursday evening from November to June. It has become a major tourist attraction, featuring art exhibits, local talents, and live music on the streets. The event is organized by the Gallery District Association and offers visitors the chance to explore the Art District's colorful backstreets, visit galleries, enjoy wine, and dine at nearby restaurants.
This was a great experience. San Jose de Cabo has many galleries with exquisite art and on this night (Thursday) they close the roads to cars so it is very nice to stroll and enjoy the art. A lot of local artists snd artisans also put their booths and sell their crafts. There are musicians, food stalls and the crowds make it a beautiful experience. We went in early May so it was not high season but the crowd was just right to make it exciting without being too crowded. Restaurants are also fantastic

We heard about this online and wanted to check it out. Lots of cute shops and streets to explore. Parking was a challenge, but we only had to walk about 2 blocks to get to the outer streets. Plenty of food and desert vendors. Could eat there easily. We did not, but were tempted.

Wonderful works of art and an opportunity to see and experience local culture. Arrive 90 minutes before the art Walk opens and there is time to have dinner. Reservations recommended since it is busy. There are many paintings and also sculpture, handcrafts and some food. We picked up some wonderful coffee beans and some breakfast bread.

It is a must if you go to Cabo. There are tours that can take you there from Cabo but if you rent a car you have more freedom. It is very festive and many artists show their art that is very interesting. There are also nice galleries, stores and restaurants. We regretted we did not go earlier.

Taco restaurant
Nestled in the heart of San Jose del Cabo's historic Distrito del Arte, La Lupita Taco & Mezcal stands out as a must-visit for taco enthusiasts. While most taco spots offer a wide price range with little variation in quality, La Lupita is an exception. The restaurant draws crowds eager to savor gourmet delicacies like the Taste of Lupita and unique tacos featuring duck, cured beef, suckling pig, or lamb cooked in maguey leaves.
What a unique and fun experience. No frills authentic tacos. Ox tail, tuna, tofu, and more are on this vast menu. It’s not your typical menu you’d see in America so know your family and the menu before going. The service was impeccable with a server literally watching close by to make sure we didn’t need a thing. Excellent with gluten free and understood how to navigate the menu with lots of choices. Get a reservation for 4/5 on a Thursday then go the art walk after just steps away. Great prices as well. It’s hot inside and out in the summer so just know that it’s not an air conditioned place but you get your food so quickly it’s not a problem.

Great spot for some delicious tacos and live music. The band starts to play at 7pm and the music is great. Staff is always on point. Marlene at the bar is awesome, very friendly and professional. Taco Tuesdays are the best!!! There's a lot more than just tacos though so check them out.

During our recent trip to San Jose del Cabo, we had the pleasure of discovering some of the best tacos we've ever tasted. The restaurant truly stands out for its friendly and attentive staff, who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The menu features an impressive variety of tacos, with unique flavor combinations that are hard to find elsewhere. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and packed with fresh, vibrant ingredients. While the prices are a bit higher compared to typical taco spots in Mexico, the quality and experience made it absolutely worthwhile. In fact, we enjoyed our meal so much that we decided to return for another visit on our way to the airport before departing. Our visit coincided with the Day of the Dead celebration, adding a special touch to the atmosphere. The staff was dressed in festive costumes and the exterior of the restaurant was beautifully decorated for the occasion, making our dining experience even more memorable. Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone looking for exceptional tacos and a welcoming environment in San Jose del Cabo.

“Fancy” tacos were how it was described by many others who told me about this place, and I agree. If craft tacos were a thing, this place would be the place that sells it. The service was on point and the live music gave it a perfect ambience. Make sure to make reservations if you don’t come early.

Great service and many of the tacos are on point. Unfortunately there are a few duds for us and it's rather expensive per tacos. I recommend miso fish taco and milanesa. Don't get fideo & castacan and mushroom chicarron. Hibiscus margarita is good.

Don't get me wrong, the food is good, creative, and tasty. The drinks are inventive (but over priced for a tourist budget). Combined with being often too full requiring a reservation, uncomfortable seats at the bar, being too busy, and loud... We are glad we gave it a try but it was just not our spot. There are other taco spots if what you're after is to try the local taco flair.

La Lupita is a taqueria and an excellent one at that. The place to go when in San Jose. Inside tables and some tables in patio. Staff speaks good English and is friendly. We tried the Santo pastor, drunken barbacoa, tuna & wakame and the Mexican flank stank and for desert the churris. All were superb. Would strongly recommend eating at this restaurant.

We happened upon this unassuming place on a whim, and it was AWESOME! We had the best ceviche de pescado (I tried ceviche at a couple other places), and uniquely delicious tacos! Everything was undeniably fresh, the service was top notch, and we even had live entertainment! These talented musicians were wonderful, and funny lol. Highly recommend Jazmin’s and we will be back FOR SURE. Don’t leave this country without trying their lechón, you will not regret it! To Gabriel our server, thank you for taking the time to explain the methods of cooking certain dishes. I’m always interested in the food and culture wherever we stay and you added that to our experience tonight. It was beyond our expectations, wonderful!

Great experience! The drink is legit (you can choose from diff tequila and mezcal) and the food is so good. I enjoy the grilled red snapper! There are also live performances! So prep some cash tips. This restaurant is not cheap so expecting a drink cost $15-20 each and at least $50 per person for food if you want to have appetizers and main courses .

This is a beautifully decorated restaurant with several levels inside and they have an air conditioned area. We had breakfast which consisted of the Veracruz eggs and the Jazmins breakfast. The Veracruz eggs is a combination of eggs in tortillas with a bean sauce topped with onions, cheese, avocado and chilies, the Jazmin consist of eggs tortillas, vegetables, plantains mole sauce both meals were delicious, the Veracruz is spicy. Our drinks were cappuccino and pineapple smoothies.

Disappointed….wanted to get a good Mexican breakfast, but the food was average at best…saw reviews and it got good reviews, but a Mexican restaurant you think would have good chips and salsa, but the chips were old and mostly all broken, stale and not salted, one out of four salsas we ok…it took 15 minutes just to get chips and salsa…eggs were ok…waiter took our credit card and didn’t see him for 15 minutes. It was father day and the place was busy but it was strange….we should have tried another place off the tourist area Adelitas looked more authentic, drinks were ok and overpriced..

My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary with dinner at Don Sanchez, and overall, it was a memorable evening. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendliness and attentive service, ensuring that we were well taken care of throughout the night. The ambiance was enhanced by live music, which added a lively and enjoyable touch to our dining experience. We also appreciated the great selection of drinks, which complemented our meal nicely. As for the food, each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, reflecting the chef’s attention to detail. The portion sizes were generous, and we ended up ordering more than we could finish—something we would have appreciated a gentle heads-up about from our server to help us avoid overordering. While we enjoyed our meal overall, some of the flavor combinations and the pronounced use of smoke in a few of the dishes didn’t quite match our personal taste preferences. This is likely a matter of individual palate, and others may find these flavors appealing. It’s worth noting that Don Sanchez is on the pricier side, especially compared to other restaurants in Mexico. For us, the overall value was just average, given the cost and our taste experience. However, if you enjoy creative cuisine, attentive service, and a lively atmosphere, it’s definitely worth considering for a special occasion.

Don Sanchez delivers a memorable dining experience in San Jose del Cabo. The service is warm and attentive, with a team clearly trained to care for every detail, and the chef sends out thoughtful compliments from the kitchen that add a personal touch. The presentation of each dish is beautiful, with colorful, well-composed plates that show respect for the ingredients. The oysters and fish tartare were fresh and bright, and the seafood mains arrived artfully plated, balancing local flavors with refined techniques. The dessert was a highlight, both visually and in taste, finishing the evening on a light, elegant note.

a rich and memorable contemporary mexican culinary experience. the food was packed with flavors and the presentation was like artworks. the surf and turf taco was very flavored. the mushroom taco - personally i did not like the texture and the accompanying alcohol (tasted like chinese medicine). the entrees were both good! the black shrimp was perfectly smoky and the rice was just one of the best rices i’ve had! the fish was flavorless and dry but the avocado risotto was very good although a bit too salted. the churro was very heavy with the caramel and chocolate sauces in a good way. lastly, the waiters boxed us into a 18% or 20% tip when they could have asked “how much would you like to tip”. it felt like a dishonest practice and gave us a moment of yuck. also the music choice by the live performer / restaurant was pretty bad. the experience could have been better with mexican songs instead of trashy / generic american pop.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Don Sanchez Last night, my wife, niece, and I enjoyed an extraordinary dinner at Don Sanchez in San José del Cabo. From the moment we arrived, everything about the evening was exceptional. We ordered the Sterling Silver beef brisket, wood-oven roasted chicken, and wood-oven roasted pork — each dish rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The appetizers were equally outstanding, and the cocktails were not only delicious but served in some of the most stunning glassware we’ve ever seen. The ambiance is absolutely captivating — you enter through what feels like a row of charming storefronts and step into a large, elegant courtyard with comfortable seating and a perfect blend of open-air and covered spaces. The music was another highlight; I found myself using Shazam several times just to capture the amazing playlist. But what truly made the evening memorable was the service. Our servers, Santiago and Joao, went above and beyond — professional, attentive, and genuinely warm. My wife and niece both commented that they made us feel like we were celebrating a special occasion, even though it was just an ordinary night out. Don Sanchez delivered not just a meal, but a full sensory experience — outstanding food, impeccable service, and a setting that feels magical. Highly recommended for anyone visiting San José del Cabo.

Mexican restaurant
Tamarindos is a charming eatery located on a former sugar cane farm, offering organic, garden-to-table cuisine. The restaurant is part of the Huerta Los Tamarindos organic farm, which also provides rustic boutique accommodations in farm-side bungalows and immersive cooking classes.
Not just a restaurant, an experience! My husband and I had an unforgettable visit to Tamarindos. Starting with an adventurous drive down a narrow dirt road and ending with us meandering around the farm after lunch, our entire visit was an absolute pleasure. The atmosphere and energy throughout the farm property is peaceful and welcoming. We experienced excellent food and bev fresh from the farm, impeccable service, and freshly roasted coffee. We bought coffee beans to take home for ourselves and as gifts. We will fondly remember our visit here long after we return home.

I had the pleasure of dining at Tamarindos several times during my recent trip to Cabo, and I can wholeheartedly say it's a truly one-of-a-kind experience. More than just a restaurant, Tamarindos is a destination. Located about five minutes from downtown San José del Cabo and nestled on 13 acres of lush farmland, Tamarindos offers an organic farm-to-table restaurant, an on-site café brewing its own signature coffee (I highly recommend picking up a bag in the gift shop), an event space, and a soon-to-open resort. Beyond dining, guests can book farm tours, cooking classes, and outdoor events—perfect for weddings, gatherings, and special celebrations. Chef Enrique Silva has beautifully brought his vision to life, combining his passion for Mexican cuisine and agricultural innovation in a way that feels both refined and deeply rooted in the land. This place truly has it all, and it’s an absolute must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable and off the beaten path (literally) experience in Cabo.

Tamarindos is truly a hidden gem. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels magical! Nestled in a lush farm with mountain and ocean views, the atmosphere is peaceful, open-air, and full of charm. The farm-to-table concept is executed perfectly. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. What really stood out was meeting the owner, Enrique. His vision for what this place is becoming is absolutely beautiful… you can feel the passion in every corner of the property. I brought my mom here, who’s a chef, a total health nut, and deeply into natural medicine AND she was genuinely impressed (which is not easy to do). Watching her light up during the experience made it even more special. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced, and the service was top-notch… warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. We also loved walking around the garden before our meal … such a unique and grounding experience. We didn’t get to come during sunset, but I have heard that it’s unforgettable. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want an incredible meal in Cabo, Tamarindos is a must.

A few years ago I had a great dinner here as part of a large wedding party. The food and service was excellent. Totally farm to table and fresh!!! Today a friend and myslef did a cooking class with chef Erwin and omg it was amazing!!!! Erwin is a master chef and we prepared a meal together of sea bass, shrimp, fresh tortillas and mango mousse that was one of the best meals I ever had. The whole experience was 4 really interesting hours that included making fresh sauces, fresh green salsa, fresh tortillas and some kind of shrimp appetizer that was out of this world!! On top of this we enjoyed fresh drinks with farm ingredients and fresh coffee roasted right there. The setting was beautiful in a stone brick farmhouse overlooking the property/ farm that was set high up with a great beeezs so not too hot. All in All an amazing experience and I recommend to all for solos, groups, couples etc… With Chef Erwin’s charm, skill and delicious food you will learn a lot and have an experience and meal of your life!!! His team that helps too we’re all so ni w and attentive too….Chef Erwin, his team, the kitchens, the propert and of course the food will all make for an incredible Cabo / Life experience that will exceed any expectations you have. Go and enjoy ASAP!!!!

My wife and I did a cooking class with Erwin, and luckily we ended up being the only booking at that time so it was a private class. We learned how to make tamales, salsa macha, shrimp flambé and churros. It was an amazing experience and Erwin was an amazing host and teacher. The experience was authentic, personal, and most of all enjoyable. Would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a more authentic Mexican experience!

Don’t let the drive here scare you! Yea the roads is gravel and feels like you are driving to no where, But trust me it’s worth it. Once you get to the restaurant you will be amazed at how beautiful this place is. The layout and ambiance is breath taking. It’s farm to table concept and the restaurant is on a farm. You can walk around and check the gorgeous venue. Bar is set outside and you can sit here and enjoy a variety of cocktails. Staff are amazing and super helpful from the minute you walk in. Every single person has a smile and eagerness to assist. They cater for nut allergies which is always a win for us. Inside the restaurant is gorgeous the layout and decor gives you a magical vibe. Omg now let’s talk food! Lamb came with blue tortillas which was juicy and flavorful, catch of the day, fish was on a bed of hummus, never had this combo before and it did not disappoint. Appetizer we had blue fin sashimi with spicy tortilla this was bomb!!! It was on a bed of salad with ponzu sauce 🤤 nothing here disappointed. We were too full for dessert but the options a sounded delicious. We will be back for sure for great service and yummy food.

Getting there is messy but man is it worth the bumpy ride up the hill! We had dinner with friends at this beautiful restaurant and had an amazing experience. As you stroll past treehouses along the beautifully lit sidewalk, there was subtle incense lining the pathway to prepare your senses for the great food. We started with the Cheddar Biscuits and Crispy Rice Bites and I highly recommend both. Then we did the NY Prime and Short Ribs for dinner and were not disappointed. The vibe is very jungle meets luxury but do know there is no seating in AC, so if visiting during a warm month, it was quite hot. The fans did help but we would have stayed and had more cocktails if it had been cooler. Our servers, Andre and Valentin never let our drinks go dry and were extremely attentive. My only recommendation would be the music. The vibe would feel more upscale without the disco music. Maybe more of a soothing spa mix? But overall, highly recommend this lovely establishment.

We had high hopes for Acre based on reviews and a family recommendation, and the setting truly lived up to the hype. The walk to the restaurant and the space itself were stunning. Our team of waiters introduced themselves warmly, and we genuinely thought we were in for a fantastic night. Unfortunately, the service quickly fell apart. Despite having plenty of staff, our waiters disappeared after taking our order. We never received the second round of cocktails we ordered and only saw our servers again when it was time to ask for the check. They did remove the missing drinks from the tab after requesting, and a last-minute anniversary gesture was thoughtful, but by then the experience was already soured. The food was good, the cocktails were just okay, but the service was the worst we experienced on our entire trip. Considering the price point and the nearby competition like Flora Farms, I’m not sure we’d return.

Acre is truly one of the most special places in Cabo. The moment you walk onto the property, you feel like you’ve entered a hidden jungle oasis, lush, gorgeous, and thoughtfully designed. The service is always exceptional, the staff is warm and attentive, and the food is on another level. Every dish is crafted with such creativity and freshness. Whether you’re here for dinner, staying at the treehouses, or attending an event, the entire experience is unforgettable. Acre captures the magic of Baja in the most elevated and beautiful way. One of my absolute favorite places in all of Cabo. Highly, highly recommend.

We just stay there with family for 5 days. Service was excellent, and we enjoyed the animals on property, especially the kitties. The family pool was empty, which was great. Also the gym was quite adequate. I would prefer to be on the ocean next time as being in the jungle was tough, as I got eaten alive by mosquitoes. We stayed in a villa which was nice, although our rooms upstairs and bathrooms stayed pretty hot, not sure the AC was adequate enough, My only bad experience was going to the main restaurant and asking if they had nachos, and she looked at me like I was crazy.. I was looking forward to a great Mexican meal. So I made some nachos in my villa.

We went to this restaurant for my friends birthday dinner and it was amazing the food, drinks the atmosphere is out of this world. The green is good drink was so delicious I ordered 3 of them during the dinner so good and we had the short rib and salmon dinner 😋🥰❤️we walked around the property after dinner and found a little zoo so cute ☺️ the whole walk around the place was amazing it’s like you are in the middle of a tropical rainforest so beautiful. If you are in Cabo you have to go experience this place for a meal or just to enjoy the place definitely worth it. Thank you so much I will be back ❤️ ps we did not stay at the property just booked a dinner

Went for lunch. Cocktails were good, but my girlfriend ordered a seasonal drink for $25 USD and the glass was filled with a giant stick of butter-like ice cube so it was gone in about three sips (see photo of half melted ice cube). We ordered three entrees and three starters. The bartender forgot two of our three entrees, and when we reminded her, she brought steak tacos instead of shrimp tacos. Also, there were flies everywhere. They gave the only other table that was there a couple of the fly-repellent fans, but we were not offered any and got attacked throughout our meal. Not my favorite experience with so many wonderful places to go in San Jose del Cabo. We are neighbors to Acre but not sure if we’ll be back.

My wife and I go to Cabo often but we had never heard of Acre. We live in San Miguel de Allende, and a friend of ours from home recommended it. It is a beautiful restaurant located in lush, tropical like gardens. It really was quite stunning walking up the path to this beautiful jungle oasis. The service was phenomenal from the moment we arrived. Our server provided several suggestions, checked on us frequently throughout the meal, and had a kind and friendly attitude. The menu was a little overwhelming. There were just too many amazing choices. We ordered the cheese biscuits (to die for) and the crispy rice bites (served with sashimi grade tuna and cavier) as appetizers. They were both incredible. We decided to share the grilled Caesar salad after we saw people eating it at a nearby table. It was huge and more than enough for two to share. The dressing was superb. For our main course we shared the branzino fish filet, which was accompanied by a potato puree, a small side salad, and served with a cold chili flake seasoning. It was a delicious dish and was also accompanied by fresh, homemade tortillas so we could enjoy our dinner as fish tacos. For dessert we were at at impasse. Even though we were already full, we each wanted a different dessert, so we had to suffer and order two desserts. I had the chocolate tres leches (fantastic) and my wife enjoyed the strawberries and cream. We probably should have shared one dessert, but we forced ourselves to eat the whole thing. This was an excellent dining experience. There were two things that prevented it from being perfect. They were both beyond the control of management and staff. The first was that when our fish arrived, we were literally overwhelmed with flies. The staff had put out a mini hibachi with rosemary and lemon which is supposed to keep critters away, but these flies merely laughed as they descended on our meal. The staff then brought out one of those small fans, but unfortunately I think the flies liked being cooled off. This was not the restaurant's fault, but it did take away from the enjoyment of an otherwise magnificent meal. The other issue was that it was quite warm. The restaurant had misting fans, but Cabo in September can be brutal. We will definitely be back to Acre (we will be back in November), but we will not come back to Cabo again in September.
