This place is absolutely amazing!!! SOOOO good . Fantastic prices. Amazing service. The good is so fresh. Good drinks

La Coqueta was ranked #1 on Trip Advisor for Tulum Restaurants so we decided to give it a shot. It's a bit difficult to find but the food and service was definitely worth it! It's a small, cute roadside restaurant with mainly outside seating. Our server (and owner, I believe) was very sweet and bubbly and took lots of time explaining the menu items to us. We were starving so we ordered queso dip, mixed fajitas, a beef burrito, and traditional lemon pie for dessert. The queso dip... Good lord. I don't know what kind of cheese they used, but I want to find out and eat it every day. Really tasty and perfectly paired with flour tortillas (which were generally not served in Tulum). The fajitas were also super tasty and came with rice, beans and guacamole. The meats and peppers were perfectly seasoned, juicy and flavorful. My boyfriend's burrito was also delicious. It wasn't a traditional burrito, there was no rice or beans, or pico. It was essentially a flour tortilla filled with really tender beef, sautéed onions and cheese. The beef was SUPER tender and there was a bit of a tangy taste... maybe braised with a little vinegar? Upon my first bite, I was unsure if I liked it, but it ended up being my favorite part of the meal. We finished with the traditional Mexican lemon pie. I don't like citrus desserts in general, but this was damn good... it wasn't an American style "pie" it was a layered, icebox type dessert with lime crème between cinnamon layers of a crunchy type of pastry. It was really tasty. This place definitely deserves it's #1 trip advisor rating. If you're in Tulum, please try it! read more

Little roadside spot with amazing food. Shockingly good. Simple, authentic, delicious.

Delicious food, the staff working over at Mango hostel actually recommended this place and we had no regrets

Pollo Buritto was magnificent! Their guacamole was so tasty. It's very quite and small.

Sorry to be a dissenting voice but La Coqueta gave 6 of us food poisoning. We ate there for brunch on our last day in Tulum, and also took burritos to go for our flight. We did not consume anything anywhere else that day. And all of us, including the 6 year old kid, were painfully out of commission the next day. I'm pretty sure it was the shrimp in the tacos and burritos, since we all had that ingredient in some form. It may be that due to its popularity, Coqueta is too busy to keep up with hygiene. The kitchen staff was clearly overwhelmed and it took us two hours to get our lunch + to go parcels. Or maybe it's all the flies, Or that the alarmingly plentiful shrimp isn't fresh. In any case, eat at your own peril. One star for the lovely hostess and tasty tacos, though it wasn't worth the digestive price. read more

The best fish tacos we've had in Tulum (get the tempura ones). Great salsas and drinks too. If you're looking for the quintessential hole in the wall taco joint, this is it. Good food, good service, good times. read more

Nothing to complain about here. The waitstaff were pleasant and attentive despite being slammed for lunch, the drinks were delicious and the food was fresh and authentic. Try the Ojo Rojos for a neat variety on a Bloody Mary or the Shrimp tempura tacos for classic dish served with Mexican flavor. read more

Hidden gem in the "outskirts" of tulum. The super sympathetic team offers different Mexican dishes for very reasonable prices. Try the burrito (pollo - 150 Pesos or vegetarian - 120 Pesos), they are freshly made and delicious at its best. Suitable for Vegetarians read more

Can't go wrong with the mixta fajitas. The margaritas you can skip, go for a SOL instead! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices. read more

Wandered in on a Thursday night around 8pm. We parked just around the corner on 307. The place is on 109, just through the intersection. There are about 9 or so tables, but we were seated right away. The chips and the salsa tray (habanero, molcajeteada, and salsa) we were brought were so delicious. We ordered margaritas, chicken fajitas and the grilled shrimp with cheese dish. It was all fantastic. We did wait about 45 minutes for our food, but overall the experience, the staff and the food, this place is a must. I can't wait to go back. read more

Nice local place in the pueblo. Food was good and the guy waiting on us seemed to be a bit busy so service was a little slow, but not horrid. Drinks were strong as well. Only negative was the cat that hangs out there and climbs onto chairs and tries to get to your food. It was amusing at first but then just got a bit over the top when it got more aggressive. read more

Love this place! Great service and wonderful hospitality during a rain storm. Had breakfast and camped out for a bit drinking cervezas. Will def be back read more

This place was awesome. Local feel. Relaxed. Very casual. Accommodating. Food was great.

Our group was very pleased with the excellent, fresh food and superb service! If we were to come back to Tulum, we would eat here again! Thank you for great food, drinks and service! read more

See all

Delicious food and wonderful service. Def try the tamarind margarita. I had delicious octopus and my boyfriend had shrimp skewers. Both were very fresh and perfectly prepared. read more

Excellent meal for my family of five. Shrimp tacos, shrimp fajitas, and skewers of chicken all were top notch. Very flavorful.

Sent husband here for takeout last night when we all got back from a long hard day of beaching, swimming and sun and were just too tired to go out again (or cook...I mean, we're on vacation!). Hubbie called from the restaurant, excited that it looked "and smelled" great and to say dinner was on its way. He said it was totally packed with gringos on a Wed night around 7 and a fun buzzy atmosphere. Takeout was good; v tasty fajitas, burrito and guacamole. Fish tacos were least favorite - a bit too fishy and salty. Yummy overall, plentiful and v reasonably priced. read more

Great friendly little stop for lunch. Small clean & open to the street. Bi-lingual Patricia (from Chicago )meet on the way to Coba suggested eating there. Beef burrito & shrimp tacos were very good. Hot sauces made them even better. My wife kept the local cat fed when she fed her little pieces of shrimp. read more

Slightly expensive for the area but flavorfully robust shrimp burrito and fish cooked with character.

The best tacos and fajitas we've had in Mexico. Don't come to Tulum without coming here!

BEST PIÑA COLADA IN TULUM. In all honesty, we came here for the piña colada, cause I read a review that it was good and I had a craving. Husband got a shrimp burrito that was good and I got chicken tacos. Super fun place. People complain about being on the road, but we just sat inside and it didn't bother us at all. Waiter was super friendly and helpful. read more

I cannot speak more highly! The staff are incredibly accommodating and were easily able to provide me delicious vegan (vegano) food with LOADS of vegetables. However, be aware that some days there are no staff about to speak English. Between my limited Spanish and hand gestures though we were about to understand each other so don't worry. Also, the tamarindo margaritas are beyond amazing! 10/10. Will definitely come back! read more

La Coqueta - Mexican Near Me - Tulum, ROO

This place is awesome! Unfortunately there are almost only tourists there but this doesn't change the charme of this little restaurant. We had the filet mignon and the shrimp kabab, both was very good! The mignon was medium to the point and the shrimp kabab was perfectly grilled! Price wise it is good value for the price. The mignon was 140 pesos and the shrimp 170. If you're around Tulum, this is definitely a spot you have to go! read more

Excellent choice of seafood. The octopus platter was divine. Three varieties of salsa were fresh. Host was extremely courteous.

The restaurant is just great! The waitress was really nice and helpful. She gave us some explanations for the menu (it's in Spanish). I had a vegetarian burrito and my boyfriend had a shrimp burrito! They were both really delicious. And more than enough to get full. We will definitely come again. read more

This place is amazing! The drinks and food are delicious, the staff is attentive and Piccolo is helpful and hilarious. Definitely a great place for breakfast in Tulum. read more

I visited this restaurant 1.5 weeks ago after reading many positive reviews. When we arrived, the restaurant was quaint and cute, but completely empty. I wondered why. I ordered an octopus dish with rice and some sort of creamy stir- fried onions on top and my sister ordered the octopus and shrimp ceviche. I appreciate fresh seafood, and this food did not taste right. The restaurant is also further away from the main strip, so going elsewhere at that point wasn't an option. I ate about half of it and woke up at 5am throwing up (and I was sick for a few days after the meal!). I knew it had to have been that dish because just the thought of it made me nauseous. Don't recommend. read more

Amazing food and service! Authentic homemade Mexican food, huge portions and well priced - especially the drinks. Fresh juices and cocktails (try the agua de mango and piña colada), and the team make you feel like you're at home. Will be returning for sure! read more

After a long hot day in the Mayan jungle we found this little gem on the side of the road. You can park right in front of the restaurant or there's generally street parking around the side of the block. The entire restaurant is outside under shade and even though it was very hot outside we were quite comfortable. We looked at other yelp reviews and decided to order the fajitas that everyone raved about. Oh my God fajita heaven! I never order fajitas because generally I think they're kind of boring and flavorless but these were completely different- I even told my boyfriend I did not know fajitas could be this good. The chicken and steak were so tender, juicy, and flavorful. It was the perfect amount of vegetables and onions and the tortillas were to die for! The service was great and we were in and out pretty quickly and very full! Would definitely recommend and come back if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Nice place. We ordered fish fillet and octopus with rice. Octopus was really good. There service was amazing

Very nice place. We had the ceviche and as good as advertised. The guac was decent. The watermelon agua fresco was also superb. Their specialty tacos were not very food (fish tacos). had much better ones thus one star deduction. Service was very nice. We will try other dishes next time and update as necessary. But yeah the ceviche was excellent. and as mentioned one of the sauces is insanely hot so make sure you ask which one. read more

Nah...I thought I'd found a good one, but unless you are interested in slightly above average breakfast, everything else is meh. Only bright spot was the pickle bowl to start read more

Don't let the appearance and location scare you. Margaritas are great, shrimp tacos were amazing! I love the salsa plate they serve before your meal. read more

Had a great meal here with my wife. I had the Mayan shrimp tacos and she had chicken fajitas, both of which were excellent. The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and there were many salsas and accompaniments to make the meal delicious. Definitely worth checking out! read more

The food was PHENOMENAL. Best we had in Mexico. The flies were not. We were constantly waving our hands during our meal. I counted twelve resting on the table next to us. It was really bad. There are at least 10 swarming us at all times. We finally had to jump away from our table at the end. It was maddening. I get it - we are eating outside next to an intersection. Maybe install overhead fans? Fly traps? How many are in the kitchen? read more

Delicious and hearty Mexican food. Strong drinks. Cheap prices. Great place for dinner! We got the chicken tacos which were AMAZING. Also got a burrito which was also very very good. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. read more

La Coqueta had THE best cocktails and grilled shrimp that we experienced in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, et al. It was so delicious that we spent 3 hours eating and drinking at dinner and then came back the next morning for breakfast! Drink wise: the Mojitos were strong and had great flavor/texture, the Tamarind Margaritas were unique and delicious, the Caipirinha was easy to drink down.... long story short you can not go wrong. I loved the grilled shrimp kebabs. At 12 large/extra large shrimp in each serving, it was the most generous portion size we encountered in Mexico. The shrimp and veggies were nicely charred, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. We also tried the Beef Fajitas and the Pescado (Fish) Ceviche. The beef was good but alas we were not big fans of the ceviche. It had a tomato smokiness to it that was a bit weird (owner is a fan of a particular salsa which is the backbone of the ceviche) and certainly different from the normal tomato, cilantro, onion, blend. Please ask the owner for suggestions of where to go in Tulum. She directed us to an amazing cove that we would otherwise not have found. Sure, the prices may be a bit pricier than elsewhere in Tulum, but please, please go at least once. read more

I would have thought by the review this place was top notch. We didn't think the food was that good. My daughter order the chicken burrito which had weird spices on it and was deep fried which huge chunks of onion in it. I had the mixed ceviche which I only enjoyed the shrimp from and the fish tacos I wasn't a fan of the fish In them. The guacamole was to salty for me also. We paid $31.00 plus a tip for a meal that we both weren't happy with. We only ate 1/4 and left the rest behind. Maybe it was to authentic for us honestly had a better meal at the beach yesterday for cheaper. Maybe we are to fussy. Open air place flys landing on food too. read more

The management of this unassuming restaurant prides itself in serving truly fresh seafood. We went there late at night so the owner refused to serve some of the meat because it was no longer fresh, which we gratefully appreciated. We then ordered shrimp tacos, which were not only original, but also very tasty. We also had their pulpo enamorado and their ceviche mixto. The pulpo enamorado (love-stricken octopus) is prepared with a sauce similar to Alfredo Sauce and accompanied with white rice. You must try it. The ceviche mixto was also great, especially if you like your ceviche without the abundant lime used in other recipes. Lastly, we had their artisan ice cream. It could have been a little less sweet for my taste, but I am sure that sweets lovers would not mind it at all. Overall, the freshness and tastiness of the seafood made it an awesome experience. I would come back and recommend it enthusiastically. read more
