Overview
el Herradero Mexican Grill – March 18, 2022
In March of 2022, my family and I went to San Jose del Cabo for a last-minute getaway. We booked last-minute flights and stayed at the JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa. When we got there for dinner, we were craving some authentic Mexican food and immediately knew we had to go back to el Herradero Mexican Grill in San Jose del Cabo.
*** One thing to note, if you are staying at the JW Marriott, you can’t take Lyft or Uber from the hotel into town. You can only take a taxi. You can, however, take a Lyft or Uber back on your return. ***

The Food
El Herradero Mexican Grill’s menu is extensive, and you’ll find everything from hot stone dishes, to fajitas (with hand-made tortillas made from scratch daily), and seafood. Everything is fresh and flavorful!
The waiter brought our Cadillac Margaritas, and we kicked things off with a toast and prepared to order our entrees. el Herredero Mexican Grill is known for their Margaritas and Molcajete bowls, and I am a massive fan of both! They are amazing! My wife and I each had a margarita and bowl (details on what we each ordered below), and they were just as good as I remember from our previous visit. The presentation was beautiful when our dinner came out, and the portions were substantial.
For an appetizer, we had the Queso Dip with Chorizo and Tequila. Served with tortilla chips, it came out piping hot and was a hot stone bowl full of ooey-gooey goodness!
For dinner, we had the following:
- My Dad had the Molcajete Hot Stone Dish with Chicken. Piping hot and loaded with chicken, avocado, and freshly grated cotija cheese.
- My Mom had the Chicken Quesadillas. They were loaded with grilled chicken, a blend of cheeses, and a side of the best-refried beans I have ever eaten.
- My wife had the Molcajete Hot Stone Dish with Chicken and Shrimp. You guessed it, piping hot and absolutely loaded with shrimp and chicken.
- My dish was the Molcajete Hot Stone Dish with Fish, Shrimp, Scallops & Octopus
