Like other farm-to-table restaurants in Los Cabos, El Huerto stands out for its straightforward, organic approach to serving healthy and sustainable food. They have successfully created an open space where both locals and travelers feel equally invited and welcomed in a casual meeting place where families and friends can enjoy. Visitors are encouraged to explore the farm, relax on a hammock swaying underneath the palms, and can even admire their new vineyard.

The open-air restaurant at El Huerto is open from Tuesday through Sunday and currently offers breakfast from 7:00am to 1:00pm and dinner from 5:30pm to 10:00pm. Reservations are highly recommended, so you are sure to secure your space.

Be sure not to miss Saturday mornings when El Huerto hosts an outdoor farmer’s market that offers various vendors selling organic fruits and vegetables, artisans with unique handicrafts from different parts of Mexico, and showcases other local boutique organizations that support the concept of fair trade.

Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurants in Los Cabos:

Cabo San Lucas
Elements Los Cabos – Some of the best, traditional Indian cuisine that Cabo San Lucas has to offer, Elements has ample vegan and vegetarian options on their menu. The dishes served are part of a three-course dining experience accompanied with rice and naan and are a favorite for all who visit. This Indian Restaurant is located a half-block behind the main avenue downtown, on Narciso Mendoza Street.

Bajarosha – A popular restaurant for visitors and locals alike, Bajarosha offers classic Mexican snacks such as tamales, sopes, quesadillas, and street corn – all organically created and a majority of them vegetable based.

La Rana Vegana – Just outside of downtown, on the cross roads of Buenos Aires and Migriño, this special restaurant nook offers a 100% plant-based food menu.

On Thursday, April 23, 2020, Chef Kenney will invite guests to an intimate cooking demonstration and lunch at the resort’s private Herb Garden, celebrating the fresh bounty of indigenous herbs and vegetables native to Mexico. Guests will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with Kenney and get a deeper understanding of plant-based cuisine, methods and technique, and the future of food, whilst learning to prepare four delicious plant-based dishes. The first half of the class will be devoted to cooking instruction, with the latter spent savouring the results.

Participants of the cooking class will also take home a copy of Kenney’s plant-based cookbook PLANTLAB, where he employs inventive technique and creative thinking in dishes that are both visual masterpieces and delectable meals, helping redefine plant-based cuisine for the home cook.
