City Secrets: Huerta Los Tamarindos

July 20, 2014

Calling all foodies! We've unearthed the perfect spot for farm-to-table dining in Mexico. Huerta Los Tamarindos is an organic farm, restaurant, and event space with certified organic orchards and gardens that would make Alice Waters swoon.

Located just a mile from the Sea of Cortez in the charming village of Animas Bajas, Huerta Los Tamarindos has created a sustainable dining experience that has little in common with north-of-border-style tacos and burritos. Here, all meals are prepared from the freshest organic ingredients picked just a few hours before they are consumed. 

Guests can explore the never-ending fields growing vegetables such as Red Chinese Lettuce and Baby Tat Soi, or learn the tricks of the trade from world class chefs in their professional grade kitchen. The lush scenery and endless gardens serve as a magical backdrop for all meals and the ultimate spot for a destination wedding. Luckily, the farm?s Lulu Shop sells savory and sweet souvenirs so friends back home can share a taste of your experience. Be sure to stock up on the Homemade Habanero Spicy Yellow Sauce and Oaxacan coffee for a morning treat!
