While farm-to-table has been a trend in much of North America, it has been a dominant influence in Los Cabos. Organic markets are present for most of the season in small communities like Vinoramas, Zacatitos and Cerritos with major organic markets in San Jose del Cabo, at Pedregal and El Huerta in Cabos San Lucas. But beyond the organic markets, there are a wide range of restaurants that offer farm-to-table menus throughout the region. Three of the best known in the San Jose del Cabo region (Las Animas) are Flora Farms, Acre and Los Tamarindos. Each of these restaurants have acres and acres (about 25) of gardens that are growing all of their vegetables for the items served on their menus. Any search of the best restaurants in Los Cabos will turn up these three locations. Acre has added a second vegan restaurant, Faustos, which is open for breakfast and lunch until 2:00 pm. Alberto’s Ranch in Las Animas offers an all-you-can-eat breakfast from what they are serving in Las Animas on Friday mornings.

Farm-to-table is not limited to restaurants that are surrounded by large farms. San Jose del Cabo has a number of restaurants that either have their own farms outside the town or source all organic produce and meats for their menus. Don Sanchez on Blvd Mijares in downtown San Jose del Cabo is one of the best known, operated by Chef Ted Chapman, who also has Habaneros Gastro Grill and Retro Burger. Enrique, the owner of Los Tamarindos has recently converted Tequila restaurant on the main up street from downtown San Jose del Cabo to Los Tamarindos Centro, sourcing all of their ingredients from the farm at Los Tamarindos in Los Animas. Cynthia Fresh Organic Restaurant in Plaza Coracal in the hotel zone offers not only farm fresh items on their menu but has a small market for produce, eggs and other organic items for their guests to purchase.
