The menu changes regularly but always includes Italian dishes prepared to order with fresh ingredients. Many of these meals are made with products brought in from organic farms in towns bordering Los Cabos.

The Office The story behind the name of The Office …Once upon a time, in the decade of the 70’s, when our peninsula was a remote and isolated place and a few visitors came to the region, the first -and at that time the only- palapa on the beach is built on the médano beach of Cabo San Lucas…
…On the virgin beach, this palapa, with it’s small kitchen and unpretentious bar, tended to the needs of locals and the few tourists we then had, offering simple fare such as ceviche, fries fish, burritos or hamburgers, and the always wanted margaritas, cuba libres and beers, besides the traditional water or coffee…
…a local character, a gringo viejo -as the writer Carlos Fuentes would say-, rented wind surf equipment on the beach and here entertained his clients and friends, in this same palapa which was referred to by him and others as the office, the office on the beach…
…the name stuck, and shortly after a blue sign with yellow lettering popped up identifying the place officially as an office… The Office on the Beach.
The rest is history…

Los Tamarindos Huerta Los Tamarindos, located just a mile from the Sea of Cortez and San Jose’s estuary, is a property dating back to the 19th Century. Los Tamarindos was first used to cultivate sugar cane, one of the area’s major exports during that time, and due to its fertile soil quickly became one of the region’s most important farms.
After lying fallow for several years, the farm was rededicated to the cultivation of organic produce in 2003, a novel concept for this area at the time that has since seen intense growth.
The 17-acre farm is divided into an event area (with space for 400 guests), fields under year-round cultivation, and the newly renovated historic ranch house built in 1888.
Currently Huerta los Tamarindos is a very active producer of organic produce in Los Cabos, providing fresh herbs and vegetables for local restaurants (Tequila, Casa Natalia’s Mi Cocina, and others) as well as exporting herbs and vegetables to the United States.
Los Tamarindos has gone through the rigorous process of obtaining organic certification from Primus Labs and The United States Department of Agriculture
