This was our first stop on day one and it did not disappoint! Very creative tacos and salsas. Drinks were delicious and service very attentive. Such Gourmet tacos! Only bummer were the random flies landing on us while eating. But it is open air concept restaurant and just expect that.

Our restaurant setting is in an open air palm made "palapa". Enjoy a relaxing ambiance made by scenic surf view, soft Latin jazz, sea breeze and the sound of the surf breaking on the beach.

Dishes are inspired from Old and New world, Oriental and Mexican legacies. As a complement to our main menu, we offer Mexican dinner specialties. Wine is carefully selected and brought from wineries all over the "7 Seas" from California, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, France, Italy, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Our bread, desserts and pastries are done in-house by our talented pastry chef.

The Uber ride ( a few dollars) to the Acre restaurant took us away from town into a quiet tranquil restaurant area surrounded by beautiful landscaping of tropical trees and plants. The menu prices were reasonable with a varied menu. Excellent service. Walking the tranquil grounds and exploring the area after our meal was a treat. A delightful evening in such a surprising area of San Jose Del Cabo. Don’t miss an opportunity to enjoy the food and ambience of this hidden gem.

Pozole was amazing and the flan is a must to order for dessert. Don’t forget to order the spicy tamarind margarita.
