Enchiladas Rojas
Krysta S.

The best enchiladas rojas you will ever eat. Ever. I mean it. Think- Nonna's homemade gravy (marinara sauce) meets mild chiles atop a deliciously tender enchilada. We stumbled upon this place while walking home after realizing that all the locals were swarming in after work. Man, I will be dreaming about their enchiladas for the rest of my life. The service was quick, the vibes were great (even had live music for a little while), and everything was dirt cheap. We got two entrees which included rice/beans and drinks and paid less than 8 bucks total. This place is the real deal. No gate keeping here- I hope this place continues to thrive.

We quickly popped in here for a bite before Hurricane Zeta hit on Oct 26. The service was quick, the food was great! This place does not serve any alcohol, take note! It's also open to the side street so it can be a little noisy but not too bad. The dining area is covered so you're in the shade and out of the elements too.

Pescado fillete a la veracruzana

This was a great spot for a meal - and an escape from the more tourist-y spots in the zona hotelera! We got a little burned out from waits and crowds at the hipster spots in Tulum and asked one of our taxi drivers where he eats in Tulum's centro. He told us about El Rincon Chiapaneco. And he was right. Great, authentic Yucatecan food. No crazy crowds. Great prices compared to places on the beach! I can't remember what my husband had, but I had the pescado a la veracruzana, which was delicious. And such a filling plate of food. I enjoyed it with a melon agua fruta. This ended up being one of our most memorable, local, authentic meals in Tulum. Some of the places on the beach have great gourmet food, but it was great to take a break from that and have some authentic classics. I'd definitely go again if I'm in Tulum!

These truly are the best tacos! Not only in Mexico but that I have personally ever had! Such a fun find. Service is quick and friendly in the two visits I made. You can't beat the prices! The flour tortillas are light and perfect. The corn are more heart but super unique and delicious. You can't go wrong with al pastor tacos! I mean, pineapple, hello! They don't serve alcoholic beverages but the agua Fresca makes up for that. If you are in the area and reading this, go! :)

Everything here is solid. Tacos, panuchos, empanadas, huevos dishes, mole, aquas frescas. This was my favorite place to eat breakfast/lunch in Tulum. The empanadas in particular were spectacular. Get chorizo y queso. The only gripe I have about this place is that for panuchos you are limited to carne molida or pollo. Other than that, this is as good an antojitos place that I've ever eaten at, and I can't stress enough how good their empanadas are. To top it all off, the breakfasts we had there cost under $15 with a tip every time. That was a family of three eating big and having plenty of drinks. We'll definitely return every visit.

See all

Such a horrible place to eat. We ordered and left our food. No taste what so ever, flies everywhere, no customer service what so ever.
