Got a mix of al pastor and chicken, all of which came with many bags of salsa (red and green). General consensus was the al pastor was great, chicken was a bit dry and passable. Washed it down with some horchata (which was also fine). Skip if you don't eat pork, but 5 stars for the al pastor in terms of flavor and value.

I particularly loved the relleno sabultes!! It's a must try if you're ever in Tulum. The restaurant itself is open with lots of seating. And the service was super fast and nice. I'll for sure be back whenever I go back to Tulum.

There is a line inside if you placed a phone order. Got 2 coffees (americano + cappucino), chicharrones to start, chilaquiles (add egg) with choice or red/green sauce, and 4 tacos. Chicharrones came with generous amount of guac, and delicious, fresh tortillas. The pork skin itself was alright, but a great vehicle for the guac. Coffee was decent, cheaper than if you get a touristy cafe. Cappucino was very rich and milky with nice layer of foam on top. Chilaquiles were good, and tacos were very good as well.

All for less than $40 USD! Everything was so good! The fresh tortillas with melted cheese were a hit, as were the tacos, and the service was great. They even gave us on the house mezcal shots with crickets and seasoned lime. We also loved the atmosphere. We went in the evening (late November) and it's wasn't crowded, plus there was good music and nice decor. It was too dark to take decent photos of the food but it looked just like everyone else's photos and was delicious!

I went out looking for another establishment, which I couldn't find. I searched Yelp and Google and…read morethey appeared promising so I stopped by. I parked next door in front of the store. But as I approached I was a little annoyed with the dogs and cats that appeared to be lingering around outside of their place. So I hesititantly came in anyway. (IM NO PET LOVER AND DONT LIKE EATING WITH ANIMALS NEAR MY FOOD! ) I ordered and my drinks and food came quickly. 2 HUGE dogs wandered in and started begging for food. A patron at another table decides to feed them. ***EYE ROLL*** Now the dogs are looking for everyone to feed them. Going table to table. I DO NOT PLAY WITH ANIMALS!!!! So I'm instantly irritated that I have to keep showing these dogs off while I'm trying to enjoy my meal. Loss of 2 stars for the dogs. The food was ok. Wouldn't probably return because the animals roam Free and I dont like that.

Easily the best meal of our trip, and one of the least expensive. It was our last night in town and our budgets were tight. I searched Yelp for a good option that wouldn't break the bank, and just as I was passing the tantalizing smells of La Riviera Costena the location popped up on my app. We ascended the stairs and made our order off the extensive menu, but the walk-up pastor spit had us intrigued, we definitely had to try the taco deal. My friend and I each got the five tacos (he had to finish mine, they're small but stuffed!) and we shared a queso fundito and a horchata. Every bite was delicious. The horchata was refreshing and tasty. It's hard to find BAD food in Tulum, but the more touristy areas definitely have food that's less amazing. La Riviera Costena is right in the middle of the main street in town and does not disappoint. The one downside is there's no beer or alcohol served here--but that's a small price to pay for the incredible, affordable food. Plus, there's a number of bars around the area to fill up at afterwards.

Our last meal in Tulum and my boyfriend really just wanted some authentic, cheap, local tacos. All…read morethe taco carts were full so we stopped by this place. On a Friday night around 10, we were lucky to get a table as this place was full. This taqueria is as authentic as you can get with dirt cheap prices. You already know it's real tacos when it's full of locals! For less than US $1 per taco, you get an array of beef choices (eye, tongue, cheek?!!). I highly recommend the Pastor, Cheek (super fatty and good!), and Underbelly! They have four sauces and limes ready in every table. Each sauce was great and had a great kick. The owners even let us bring our own beer since they don't sell alcohol. At the end, we spent $117 pesos for TWELVE tacos. Nothing beats that!! After you're done trying the trendy boutique restaurants, Taqueria El Nero is a must stop for a quick, authentic taco fix that won't break the bank. Quick service, amazing tacos, and cheap prices. Can't get better than that!

Really excellent tacos across a wide range of beef and pork cuts. They dont have any chicken or…read morevegetarian options but they have about 6 beef cuts from your standard bistec or saudero to lengua, eye balls, brain, or beef cheek. They have a few more pork cuts probably 8 or so but I dont eat pork so I cant really comment. The tacos were dirrrrrt cheap. Everyone clocked in at under $1US. Most tacos were $12pesos and 3 or 4 were $15 pesos each. The corn tortillas were fresh and meat was piled on with cilantro and onions. At the table there is a selection of 4 salsas limes, and pickled onions. They were all good but be warned they are spicy as hell. The waiter said two were spicy and 2 were a little spicy, but in reality 1 nearing blow your palate out spicy, another was drink a mouthful of milk spicy, 1 was couple gulps of water spicy and the 4th was actually not spicy. Definitely the spiciest offerings I have ever seen. Everything had serious heat. I loved it but i even caught myself ordering a couple extra drinks and taking a break. The tacos are good any way you have them just be careful. The meat in the tacos was really good. You always tell the value of a taqueria by how they cook their lengua or other easily ruined cuts. The lengua were very good not chewy or slimy, although I wish it was cooked on slightly higher heat to get that caramelization on the outside. The saudero wasnt the best ive had in Mexico but still really good. Bistec was banging. Beef cheek was mild and tbh it was the last taco I ate and I have dump so much hot sauce on the pervious tacos my taste buds werent in the best of conditions. The interior was standard taqueria, an open kitchen, a couple plastic tables, and doubled up red plastic chairs a big ol' fan in the corner and a handful or sidewalk seating. Its local favorite and now a favorite of mine as well!

We ordered the pineapple (piña) smoothies, the chuleta & piña burrito, and the pastor burritos, and everything was outstanding! The flavor combinations were incredible. On top of everything tasting amazing, all of their food is made fresh and cooked only in fresh oils (no seed oils!), which is a massive plus. They also have great vegan and vegetarian options. Highly recommend!

The grilled fish tacos were tasteless, the shrimp nachos were covered with cheese that tasted like glue and the shrimp were simply laid on top, no seasoning. And to make matters worse, we can only pay with cash. I went to the cash machine and made a mistake thinking I was getting American $$ but ended up taking out only $17 in pesos which cost $8. I had to do it again and that cost another $8. That aside, the food in this establishment was simply inedible.
