Cabo’s Farm-to-Table Restaurants: Our 5 Favorite Spots!

Do you fancy a dining experience in Los Cabos that goes way beyond great tacos and date-night Italian? One that lets you dig into Baja’s local organic food scene and feel good about where your meal comes from?

Enter farm-to-table dining in Cabo!

This delicious movement first took root here thanks to Flora Farms, and we make a point of visiting at least one farm restaurant every time we vacation in Cabo.

Farm-to-table here isn’t just about what’s on the plate.

It means eating right on working farms, wandering past herb gardens, sipping cocktails under the stars – and sometimes even rolling up your sleeves to pick veggies or join a cooking class before dinner. Ingredients are ultra-fresh, often organic and sourced right from the farm or nearby producers.

Today, there are five standout spots – three in San Jose del Cabo and two in Cabo San Lucas.

We’ve eaten at them all, so if you’re looking for dining with a difference, here’s our take on the best farm-to-table Cabo restaurants.

Located about three miles from San Jose del Cabo (and roughly 24 miles from Cabo San Lucas), the final stretch to get there involves a famously bumpy dirt road.

Stick with it – because once you arrive, you step into a whole other world of lush gardens, yellow sunflowers and, after dark, twinkling lights.

The menu is seasonal and changes based on what’s growing on the farm. It isn’t huge, but there’s something for everyone – vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers alike.

The options are tantalizingly tasty. Our mouths start watering the moment we open the menu.

Some of our dinner favorites?

• Fresh-baked Neapolitan-style pizza – We love the fennel sausage pizza (using sausage made fresh onsite)
• Pillowy homemade gnocchi – It transports us straight back to Italy!
• Thick juicy organic pork chops – Served with an heirloom tomato salad when we ordered it

Arrive early if you can.

A visit here should start at Acre’s animal sanctuary. Pet the donkeys and rabbits, say hello to the pygmy goats and look out for the roaming peacocks. They might even have a camel when you go! (The sanctuary closes at 5:00 pm.)

Prefer it mixed?

The ginger mezcalita (with poblano chili liqueur, ginger syrup, cold-pressed pineapple juice and lime) is a standout. And after multiple visits – and tasting even more mezcalitas on our last two December and January visits) – mezcal may have officially won us over tequila.

Don’t feel like leaving afterward?

You don’t have to. You can actually stay in a very sassy Acre treehouse! We have – and it was better than we imagined.

Unique Cabo experiences don’t get much cooler than this.

Open for farm visits, breakfasts and dinners, it’s one of Cabo’s most sustainability-focused restaurants – and it walks the eco-talk.

The farm uses rainwater capture for grey water, solar panels for energy and compost made from farm waste. There’s even an onsite water purification system, which cuts down on single-use plastic bottles.

Be prepared for a splurge price-wise, especially if you like wine – which we do! We found prices here on the higher end, with the cheapest bottle starting at about $110 USD (see El Huerto’s wine list).

• Signature cocktails – Most are 390 MXN ($23 USD)
• Wines by the glass – 385 to 480 MXN ($23 to $28 USD)
• Pizzas from the wood oven – 430 to 480 MXN ($25 to $28 USD)
• Appetizers and salads – Mostly 400 to 500 MXN ($24 to $29 USD)
• Main courses – From 830 MXN ($49 USD) for handmade spinach-and-feta ravioli to 1,680 ($99 USD) for roasted New Zealand rack of lamb; most mains fall between 800 and 900 MXN ($47 to $53 USD)
• Desserts – 280 to 390 MXN ($16 to $23 USD), with sorbet and homemade ice creams priced a little lower

We were asked to arrive about 30 minutes early – and we quickly discovered why.

On arrival, we made a beeline for the farm animals and were handed a small bucket of asparagus to feed the resident goats. Around 20 of them were waiting (and loudly bleating!) behind a wooden fence, poking their heads through for snacks.

They were so entertaining it was hard to tear ourselves away for dinner!

The five adults in our group shared three appetizers, two mains, a side of truffle fries and two desserts, which was just right to satisfy us all.

• Grilled Chihuahua cheese and garlic bread – Warm and gooey inside, crisp on the outside, topped with pine nuts, cashews and seared Serrano ham (think fancy flatbread)
• Heirloom tomatoes and avocado salad – With garden greens and a light lemon vinaigrette
• Baked brie in puff pastry – With tomato, wine and cranberry jam (a real fan favorite!)
• Bone-in beef short rib – Rich and tender, served on cauliflower purée
• Roasted organic chicken – Finished with a tasty pecan and apricot mole
