Our family is original from Tequila, Jalisco, best known as being the birthplace of the drink that bears its name, “tequila”. Our passion for this industry starts with Don Jose Antonio Cuervo, the founder of the Tequila. Nowadays 220 years after, part of the family still produces tequila, but Jorge Cuervo took after his father, Don Malaquías Cuervo, who expertise in the culinary arts inspired by his ancestor's deep knowledge of the authentic Mexican cuisine.

Coming from Uk, we don’t class our nation as tequila drinkers and to be fair we knew nothing on the subject. We decided to do the tequila tasting evening and dinner and are so pleased we did. We came away interested in Tequila - purely from the inspiring and informative talk from Jorge Cuervo. A perfect early evening experience. We wish Jorge well at getting back into the old school art of tequila making.

We thoroughly enjoyed the intimate, outdoor dining experience at Kitchen! Allan made our experience very enjoyable by providing us great service with a smile! The homemade sourdough bread was absolutely delicious, the beet and heirloom salads beyond flavorful and good to the very last bite and the grilled sea bass was cooked to perfection! Can’t wait to go back and try the mussels and clams which apparently are amazing.

I had a wonderful meal as usual with some new friends. The Caesar salad and the meat salad are two of my favorites. And then of course, that wonderful dessert of chocolate cake and ice cream is amazing.

About the restaurant

Fiorenza was founded on December 1st of 2012 by Roberto Persi, the original chef of Toscana in Italy, and his wife Fiorenza in the suburbs of San José del Cabo. After two years they changed their headquarters to the touristic zone in San José. Thanks to the great service and the wonderful taste of the authentic Italian food the place has been a complete success.
