Tamarindos

Amazing cooking class. In depth information how to and hands on. Would do again. Erwin was a great teacher and we were able to enjoy the food in the wonderful environment. Have taken the Flora Farms class and this was far more involved and fun. Many courses made for a very complete experience.

We took the recommendation of some of the folks staying at our resort to try Tamarindo's and we were glad we did. This was a fantastic farm to table restaurant located on the outskirts of San Jose del Cabo and on the site of a 19th century sugar plantation. The Uber ride out to the restaurant/farm was interesting to say the least. The restaurant is located in a rural area near the estuary and it appears that recent rains made the road barely passable. Our driver did a great job getting us there. The grounds of the farm were beautiful. We arrived about 30 minutes before our reservation so we had the oppy to walk around and explore the farm. Raised terraces had beds of herbs and spices that are used in the restaurant. Vintage farm equipment dotted the landscape. Once we were seated our server Natali took our drink order and gave us our menus. Natali was friendly and professional and spoke excellent English. We decided to share a Greek salad as an appetizer. It had plenty of feta cheese and you could actually tell the ingredients were farm fresh, everything was delicious with just the right amount of dressing and Greek seasonings. For our main courses Stacy ordered the mezcal fired blue shrimp. These shrimp were enormous (Stacy had to bring two of them home) and were covered with a delicious mezcal citrus sauce. The shrimp were accompanied by black beans and fried sweet plantains. Coming from South Florida we are somewhat spoiled when it comes to sweet plantains (it's a Cuban thing), but Stacy remarked these were the best sweet plantains she has had since we moved to Mexico two years ago. I ordered the lamb, which was served barbacoa style. The lamb was a huge serving which was tender and juicy. It was served with pureed sweet potatoes and grilled vegetables. The dish came with two dipping sauces, a habanero sauce and a macha sauce. Both were very spicy, but delicious. The lamb was accompanied by plenty of fresh, homemade, corn tortillas. This was a fabulous dish. We were pretty full but we wanted to at least try a dessert. We decided to split the flan and it didn't disappoint. It had a lot of vanilla with a very creamy texture. Delicious! We try to get to Cabo 2-3 times a year and from now on we will definitely be dining at Tamarindo's on our future visits. The atmosphere, service, and food were all excellent.

What an awesome cooking class we had with chef Erwin. Besides the food and experience itself, the grounds and property are just something that you cannot find anywhere. Beautiful 10/10 experience all around!

My husband and I had the pleasure of taking a cooking class at Tamarindos with Chef Erwin this past week. Upon arrival to the property we were pleasantly greeted with a refreshing welcome drink of lemon grass tea. Once our entire party arrived, Chef Erwin took a few moments to share the history of the property and story of the inception of Tamarindos. We were then lead through the breathtaking grounds to tour the organic garden and thatch roofed pergolas, which were nestled between mango, avocado and plantain trees. If I could describe the experience in one word it would be MAGIC. The opportunity to immerse ourselves in Mexican culture all the while learning and eating with such a talented Chef as Erwin, was an unparalleled experience. Erwin and the Tamarindos staff, including the owner, treated us like family and showered us with the warmest hospitality. As for the food we cooked beef biria, tortillas, sopes, ceviche, avocado salsa, adobo sauce and churros (all from scratch of course) providing incredible value for the cost. Everything was fantastic and we were promptly emailed copies of the recipes that same night. Chef Erwin, thank you so much for the most incredible experience. You made us feel like family and created a day we will never forget. Thank you so much and we look forward to our return!!

Amazing farm to table and authentic Mexican cuisine experience. We made green salsa, Spanish rice, corn pudding and tamales. The chef was very good and allowed us to be hands on in the prep of the food. Highly recommend!!!

Such a great way to experience San Jose Del Cabo. After a crazy ride through the arroyo we were thrilled to find this beautiful oasis of orchards and gardens. Fresh ingredients started with the cocktails that featured in season fruits and herbs. Dinner was an assortment of fresh fish and vegetables grown on the property. Services was excellent! Atmosphere was comfortable even outdoors in the July heat. Dress was evening cool casual.

We came for a cooking class with Chef Erwin, and it was absolutely delightful. Delicious food, great hospitality, and fantastic instruction. Definitely a great way to spend a few hours if you're in Los Cabos.

Had the pleasure of making it to a cooking class which was so great! Very good information on cooking and the tour of the grounds was great. Food was excellent and fresh.
