Falafel bowl, eggs and potatoes
Megan K.

This place was exactly why we needed. Great service, chill ambiance and delicious fresh food!! Traveling and eating is what we love and this place made our list. I love to eat vegan when possible and they were easily able to accomplish and had several options. I had the falafel bowl and my hubs had eggs. Both came with a side of chili oil (so perfect as we love a little spice!). The potatoes were also yummy. Strong recommend! Sit upstairs and enjoy the breeze with their WiFi while you relax!

We came here after our first attempt at lunch in Tulum did not work out and it was all very…read morefortunate for us because we had an excellent lunch. This is really two restaurants with two menus. One is Mexican food and the other is pizza and pasta. The wife had guacamole and fish tacos and said both were outstanding. Best fish tacos she ever had. So fresh, not a hint of fishiness. The accompanying salsas were excellent too. Guacamole was very well seasoned. I was in the mood for something simple so I had the 4 cheese pizza (almonte queso) and it was excellent. The crust was fresh and light. The cheese was good quality and very tasty. Really good pizza and especially so in an area not known for Italian food. Service was good, bathrooms were clean, and I have no complaints at all. I would go here again if I ever visit Tulum another time.

I love the fact that all of the restaurants and bars in this area are open until 2am even mid week…read more My friends and I came here after leaving a bar, super hungry and wanting another cocktail. There were 4 of us and their tables are super small. So a table that is suppose to seat 4 really can only seat 2 comfortably allowing room for food and drink. We asked to push 2 tables together and after a bit of resistance they finally obliged. My friends all had pizza which was very fresh. I had the penne w/ salmon which was also fresh and very tasty. As our drinks we all had Caipirinhas, wasn't strong at all. Very lemonade like. My biggest gripe was the conversion rate. I couldn't understand why their conversion to USD was a different rate from a bar I had just been to down the street. Alleviate the nuisance and change your dollars to pesos.

Carboncitos was a really enjoyable experience overall. The food was genuinely delicious. I started…read morewith the chicken soup, which had great flavor, but the portion was pretty small. For my entrée, I had the skirt steak, and it was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sweet potato with honey and cinnamon was absolutely delicious. My only real complaint is the portion sizes on a couple of items. The salad was very small, and I would have loved a more generous serving. I also ordered an amaretto sour. It was a little weak at first, so I asked for more amaretto, which made it better, but it still wasn't quite as strong as I prefer. The service was phenomenal. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed myself. I would definitely return.

*** They accept credit card !!!!…read more This is the boyfriend of the Yelp account owner but I had to write a review at how dope this place truly is. My girlfriend takes food very seriously so it's hard to find good spots and this place really impressed her. We came back two days in a row to try different plates and they all slapped. (Chile Rellenos, quesadillas, salsa wheel, tacos, ceviche). The drinks were amazing as well. (Pina Colada, margarita - they have happy hour 4pm- 6pm) All of the above would be enough in itself but the staff was really friendly and accommodating without doing too much. I.e They don't come across as fake. Anyways, if you are looking for a spot to try in Playa Del Carmen, eat here at least once and see what's up.

For gastronomic eaters, Casa Amate will satisfy your palate. Casa Amate's menu and ambiance are eclectic. Being in Mexico, I had to try Casa Amate's version of the ceviche, which was the Kampachi Ceviche in Leche de Tigre Cream and Rocoto. Most ceviches are marinated in the same ingredients: lime, tomatoes, jalapeños, red onions, and cilantro. Casa Amate's ceviche was unlike anything I've ever had. Instead of the usual ingredients, the Kampachi Ceviche used roasted corn kennels, sweet potato slices, cornnuts (canchita) and was served on a pool of rocoto chile cream for the eater to mix as desired. For the main course, I ordered the Pampa y Costa, which was oyster and wagyu with chimichurri sauce, served in a large oyster shell. The oysters were the star of the show, while the wagyu and chimichurri sauce didn't really add much to the dish itself. The wagyu was too chewy/overcooked and lacked flavor, which was surprising considering the addition of the chimichurri sauce and the type of beef used...
