   Certainly ranks at the bottom of the restaurants we visited. All wine on the list is from Mexico, which can be good, but we must have selected one that was unremarkable and overpriced. At $50/ bottle, it was one of the least expensive, but the menu didn’t provide any details on where the vineyard was located and server could describe. For appetizers, we ordered the shrimp bomb and, unlike the name, had practically no flavor. Unfortunately the same can be said about the entrees. Mezcal shrimp and green mole pork disappointed. Black beans on shrimp dish added no flavor. Really expensive for food quality.

   Centro needs to improve. Tamarindos Farm has made great improvements in service, food and atmosphere. Centro need to learn from the Farm more. Centro did not have enough staff, the drinks were very small, food was so so. I was disappointed That said, music / guitarist was excellent !!

   Beautiful setting but food was subpar. Service was also very slow, in fact we had to wave down our waiter to get our order placed. We love the other Tamarindos - this one we will not return to.

    Very quiet for dinner early in the week. Charming patio under the trees. Grilled items were so flavorful! Slightly higher prices since it’s in the arts district. Enjoyed the meal and staff were helpful.

    This is one of the most beautiful restaurants that my wife and I have ever been to. The food and service were exceptional. They had musicians come around and serenade you if you wanted. Perfect for a special occasion for date night. The drinks were perfectly made. They paid very special attention to detail. It’s a little difficult to find because you have to walk through a tiny gift shop, but once you do, it’s one of the most beautiful restaurants you’ll ever see.

    Over priced seriously $225 for a crab cake and a shrimp bomb? We had a couple of shots of tequila and topo Chico and that’s the price. We should of asked what the price was but we’ve been here for a month and no one charges that much for tequila Disappointed Lots of flies Music was an hour and half late Not again.

    Definitely not like Tamarindos. Food was ok not great. Drink poorly made. We got two Mexican Samplers which were not very authentic and some of the cheaper menu items and bill still almost $200. Lastly, lots of flys and bugs in courtyard so was not a ver6 good experience.

    We enjoyed our time at Tamarindos Centro. The food and service were very good. No language problem at all. My husband’s tuna was a little over cooked from what was requested. We started with fresh(raw)Chocolata clams with ponzu sauce as well as grilled pulpo(octopus) and were really pleased with all. The mezcal shrimp were tasty. Finished with mango pie which was not what we could have imagined. Like a heavy pumpkin pie texture. All in all we enjoyed our evening. Only spoiler was flies that kept pestering us. Staff tried to remedy the problem. Minor detail when you’re eating outside. It was overall a good experience and we will most likely go again. The food is good. Note there was a wonderful singer/musician entertainer that we enjoyed very much. It was a Thursday so would need to ask if it’s all times.

    Es un lugar pequeño al aire libre donde los comensales son en su mayoría extranjeros. El sabor es bueno, sin ser extraordinario. No esperen panes o salsas al inicio como en otros lugares. Cargan un 18% de servicio en la cuenta.

    atmosphere is nice, but food was disappointing. crab cakes were shaped like torpedoes and had no crunch or texture tp the breading. flavor was okay, but didn't seem like a crab "cake". sauce it was served with was congealed on the plate, so not appetizing. Arugula salad with goat cheese was just those 2 things. presentation was non existent. And prices were quite high for the quality and quantity of food we got.

    The ambiance dining outside under the tree was lovely. I ordered a Caesar salad only. I. Ate half of it because half the lettuce was wilted and soft. There was too much dressing as well. My friends each got the combination Mexican plate. They said it was “just ok”. Our drinks were well done. Nice waiter.

    I love this place! I've been going here for 20 years and the food and staff are always wonderful. The meal was very good and the drinks were well thought. I would have liked to have had more vegetarian optins especialy the appetizer menu. The meals were good portions but only one vegetable per plate so a little lacking in color and not much overall flavor. I would work on adding the things that makeit a farm to table place....adding mor herbs and veggies.

    We have been coming here for years. The name has changed, but only because one of the owners left. The other owner continued to provide jobs for the workers on the farm even when the restaurant was closed for Covid. Wonderful place, give it a try.

    An unfriendly greeting as soon as we arrived. We were seated at the worst table in the restaurant. My husband sat and immediately fell off his chair because of the uneven floor and unbalanced chair. They were unsympathetic and not helpful. I went next store to the pharmacy for bandages and assistance. They offered no free drink no apologies. The food was mediocre at best and the service worse. The highlight of the evening was the wonderful entertainer. We had a reservation to bring friends next week which I am immediately canceling.

    We had been there the week before and I would give it 5 stars. The reason for the 1 star is there was no other option to choose. We invited guests and showed up at our reserved time and were told they could not honor our reservation due to being closed for a private party. Busy night in San Jose doesn't make it very easy to get in somewhere else. They really didn't apologize just looked at us like tough luck. If you reserve on open table I would suggest a call directly to confirm.

    We made a reservation at this restaurant and received a confirmation email. We drove from Cabo San Lucas to San Jose Los Cabos only to find that the entire restaurant was booked for a private event. I was very disappointed that we were not contacted prior to our arrival. There was nothing the local person could do for us, and the manager was not there. Unfortunate

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience at Tamarindos Centro! Our waiter was attentive and helpful. We ordered two of their signature margaritas - passion fruit and cucumber/serrano - both were well made and tasty. We splurged on this meal - by far the nicest place we ate our entire trip - and ordered appetizers through dessert. We have traveled around the Baja several times and we always enjoy the chocolate clams (baked) and the preparation and presentation at Tamarindos was beautiful and delicious. We also enjoyed the charred romaine Caesar salad which was a special and delightful spin on a traditional salad. For dinner we had the catch of the day (snapper) and the Mexican sampler. The fish was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and was very good quality fish. We enjoyed the key lime pie and the flan - truly excellently prepared and presented! The custards in each were perfect. We closed the evening with Negronis from the bar. Overall this was a delicious and memorable evening. The ambiance is calm and secluded - it feels like you are tucked away in a secret garden with a handful of other guests. We hope to visit Los Tamarindos farm the next time we are in San Jose!
