I stopped in a few times during my stay in Cabo and absolutely loved it. The couple who own and operate it are absolutely wonderful and take the time to explain to you the meaning of their intention and vision. The food and drinks and delicious and freshly made. I loved everything I tried. They have a separate vegan menu which I really enjoyed. The decor and ambiance is adorable. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a bite!

hands down the best local spot for a beautiful vibe, delicious food, gift shop supporting local artisans, tons of books (especially if you’re into birds!) But ultimately a perfect sense of the culture of Baja :) mi favorito!

If you’re vegan, vegetarian, or even if you’re not! This is a great place to stop by and nourish your body. My partner is vegetarian and loved it and I’m not and also picky and absolutely loved it so much that we came back everyday on our trip. Quick walk from the marina or even a quick uber ride this restaurant is amazing tropical vibes and great service! You can’t go wrong with anything you order from tacos, bowls, and or smoothies.

If 10 stars were an option, I’d give 10 stars. The hibiscus flower taco is a must try, I’ve never had or seen that before and it is the best thing EVER. The hospitality of the owners is out of this world. It is welcoming, they are so kind, and the food makes this worth a visit - correction, a MUST visit.

Great experience at the Tropical Kitchen. Walked about 15 mins to get there and it was worth the exercise. The staff were great to work with. The chips and dipping choices were out of this world flavorful. I had never tried hibiscus before and I fell in love right away. Besides that being one of the 4 dipping sauces, it was also a taco choice. After loving the dipping sauce I went for the taco. It was delicious! I had an iced chai latte to drink. Beautiful flavors and textures! I am gluten free and had no troubles finding things to eat. I highly recommend this as a dining experience to add to your list when in Cabo!

Tropical Kitchen Cabo is a must stop for anyone who is health conscious. The couple who host it are amazing and come out and interact with you. I am gluten free which is why I was drawn to this restaurant. I had the cauliflower cerviche and it was phenomenal. Their hibiscus salsa, which is made from the region the owner comes from, is unique and absolutely divine. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we returned the next day for a cooking class. She took us the fruit/vegetable shop to pick our own ingredients/chillies and we made so many salsas from these ingredients. She also taught us how to make corn tortillas and other fillings such as sautéed mushrooms and beans. All this while drinking hibiscus mocktail (yum) and then horchata. After we finished cooking the family and their cook joined us in eating (on our invitation) and it felt like we were in a Mexican home with friends. Just an amazing experience from start to finish. Go experience all of this and support this amazing enterprise. We also bought some jewelry from their shop (they help local artisans display their products). We returned for lunch on our last day here. I wanted pancakes which were on their menu but was not GF.. Jasmine accommodated my GF needs and made some to order. They were delicious. Had another delicious mocktail with it.

Great service, very good food and served with lot of love. They make everything fresh and have plenty of vegan options. Must try their hibiscus salsa and chilaquela rojas. Their veg burrito is non traditional and more like salad wrap.

Wow, this is how vegan food should be made! All natural ingredients and bursting with flavor. Chef Jasmine is a phenomenal incredibly talented chef I've never had vegan food this delicious. The restaurant is beautiful every dish is carefully thought out. If you don't give this place a try you truly will be missing out on an amazing experience at a family owned business with the best vegab food available!
