Friendly service and tasty fish. I don't know their secret, but the rice was incredibly moist and delicious!

Cesar And Desiree A.

Chill ambiance, fresh mariscos, and friendly environment to find yourself at the tip of Downtown Tulum. Great service, and special recognition for the exterior wall art/paintings.

Drinks are ok

Tulum. The best ever pulpo and shrimp tostada I have ever had. Very large and healthy size shrimp. Kids menu is very hearty with a delicious burger and kids burrito. The steak entraña is amazing and perfectly seasoned. It's very loud because it's right off of a busy street but very worth it

Verdes Chicken Enchiladas
Ronnie T.

Ever been to a place where it is highly evident that their food is delicious and customers are taken care of?! That is this place!!! I was craving enchiladas and decided to land at this location and spread my wings and give their enchiladas a try. I was greeted by warm and welcoming customer service, and seated promptly. Seating is a mixture of outdoor and inside seating, and there is a nice breeze that blows through. The prices were looking pretty good also, and that is always a plus. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas verdes, and I ate the salsa and chips that were provided as I waited. There was a red and green salsa, as well as pico de gallo. All of the salsas and the pico were flavorful!!! When my enchiladas came out, I was already feasting on them with my eyes. Upon the first bite I tasted nothing but pure deliciousness. The kicks of lime, cilantro, seasoned chicken, queso blanco, and the medley of the black beans and rice all flooded my tastebuds. Let's just say that this dish was gone in about 8 minutes. I enjoyed every bit of it! Check this place out, you won't regret it one bit! Cheers to good eats!

This place is a little outdoor food spot next to the super Aki. I honestly didn't think this was the best. The tacos didn't taste authentic to me compared to the other street taco spots I had. Nevertheless, it stilll tasted good it just wasn't bursting with flavor. I got the shrimp tacos. My friends all got different things and they all really enjoyed their food. They got the steak, shrimp tacos, and nachos. The nachos were a hit! The spot is very cute with places to take pictures there's only limited seating and it's all outdoors. Service: 10/10 Food: 8/10 Vibes: 8:10 Drinks: 8/10

Tacos and Mezcal

Highly recommend! Pull right up to the door on a scooter and be greeted by a hospitable staff with great service and great tacos!

Vegetarian enchiladas
Eliza R.

We loved this place!! Yummy, authentic, sweet staff. Vegetarian enchiladas were delicious and same with the horchata. The only annoying part was, like a lot of places in Mexico, sellers and musicians kept coming in and interrupting our meal. Probably 6 different people in less than 40 mins we were there, I'm used to this but it was super over the top this time. Overall thought would return because the food and service was just that good, thanks for an awesome meal, la coqueta.

Hand down the best seafood place in tulum! Airbnb recommended this place to me and my friends during our stay in Tulum. We actually went there twice because it's that good. We came here for dinner. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Our most favorite is grilled octopus tostada and shrimp ceviche. They also have live music to entertain you while you're eating. The price is very reasonable. Parking is easy to find around there. Highly recommended if you're in Tulum. It's right in front of Super Aki market.

Loved the food and drinks!! Best food I ate while I was in Mexico Me encantó la comida y las bebidas!! La mejor comida que comí mientras estaba en México.

Mahi tacos with pineapple

Such a great place to take in the food and hospitality. The service was incredible and super fast. They were very friendly and the selection of drinks were great. We enjoyed learning about the area from the staff.

Shrimp fajitas
Gloria K.

Delicious and a hidden gem. The server/waitress was nice and helpful in helping me choose which plate to order. I can understand why there are such high reviews for the restaurant. There was a tent with outdoor seating pretty spaced apart. I had the shrimp fajita and my husband had the steak platter. Both were flavorful and I enjoyed finishing my plate! They also give you chips and salsa. The best thing was they had spicy habanero sauce! I couldn't stop pouring it over my food. Cheap and affordable meal!

John T.

A true gem. You wouldn't expect a small side street outdoor joint to pump out such quality food. I ordered the steak platter and my wife the shrimp fajitas. Both were so damn good, we licked out plates clean. The steak was incredibly tender, had me fully surprised. I personally loved the horchata here as well, my favorite across Tulum. Also the waitress/hostess was the right amount of attentive, she didn't bother us but came when we needed something. Just a perfect dinner.

The Queen
Denyce M.

We stopped here for lunch on our way to the Coba ruins. Cute but small...can seat 32 people tops. Staff was cool, very warm in their greetings. Menu is small, but does include breakfast items. I got the guacamole and a steak burrito. Also ordered the fish empanadas based on the taste of the ones my friend ordered, but those never made it out to the table because the person failed to tell the cook to make them. I kept waiting for them to come out, but they never materialized. They were not on the bill, so it's all good. The little bit I had was good though. The guacamole was good, but on the small side. Presentation was nice though...came out on the back of a turtle with chips arranged in a floral display. The steak burrito was also good...got a side of rice to go with it. The decor was cute, sort of pop art and very colorful. Cute photos all over the place and a great one of two Lucha libre wrestlers in drag (of sorts). Location is something to be desired. The restaurant itself is a wide open space and literally on the main drag of a busy street. Parking is iffy...the staff was nice enough to let us park in front of the restaurant and I do mean in front. My friend's car was right behind our table. Lot of traffic goes down the road next to the cafe, so it is a pretty busy strip. The wifi didn't work, but that was okay as I was able to piggyback off of the business next door. Didn't try the mixed drinks, but The Queen had a mojito that looked decent in size. She said it was good. Overall, the food was good, but not good enough for me to give it four stars. Good place to stop on the way to the ruins, but I would not stop there later in the day due to traffic. Best place to park is on the main strip to the ruins, then walk back to the restaurant. This way you do not have worry about dealing with traffic on the road with the restaurant.

The micheladas were the best ones I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot, haha). The restaurant has a very fancy feel, even though the food/drinks were reasonably priced. The ambiance was beautiful - gorgeous paintings of jaguars everywhere and dim lighting to set the mood. The service was outstanding. Our waiters, Guillermo & Martín, made sure we were taken care of throughout the whole night. They even brought my friends and me a mini coat rack to hang our purses next to our table.

The food here is phenomenal. Everything was delicious. The chips, the drinks, the entrees all just delicious! We started with fresh chips and salsa, for the salsa you get about 5-6 different salsa options. The pica- de callio and the green sauce are to die for, really incredible. For my entree I ordered the lamb lollipops and omg they were heavenly. I wish they lasted forever. It came with this delicious gravy on top and a side salad. The lamb was nice and tender, my mouth is watering just thinking about them yum! Great service, great food, great atmosphere. If you're in the area it would be a mistake NOT to come here. 10/10.

Was a bit underwhelmed by this spot to be honest. The aesthetics were on point, open air concept…read morewith widely spaced tables, candles, decent music. They start you off with a complimentary piece of toast with some vegetable chunks. Each of us got a quarter of a piece of dry white bread that I would pass on in the future but the vegetables paired with it had decent flavor. I got the passion fire as my drink and very much enjoyed it. It was sweet and refreshing with just the right amount of heat. 9/10. For appetizers my group split the duck tartlet with pink mole, the sweet potato agrodolce, and the hamachi tiradito. The duck was well cooked and tender but lacking in flavor. The pink mole wasn't adding much to the dish other than creaminess. The tart shell was awful. It was thick and dry and reminiscent of a premade store bought tart shell. 5/10. The sweet potato agrodolce was good, the sweet potato and squash ribbons had a nice firm texture and snap but all of the flavor came from the yogurt sauce that they were sitting on. 7/10. The hamachi tiradito was my favorite of the apps. The fish was fresh and light, the flavors were interesting with the combination of the sweet banana vinaigrette, the salty umami ponzu, and the sweet tangy mango, chili, cucumber salsa. This dish was the best of the night, 8/10. For mains we split the catch of the day, which was red snapper, and the broken beet. The fish was underwhelming, being a bit overcooked and dry. The sauce it was drenched in helped with the dryness but didn't lend much flavor. The yuca chips were a nice addition, adding a nice crunch to contrast the soft textures of the fish and sauce but again, not lending much in flavor. Chips could have been salted. 6/10. The beets were cooked well, they were soft and tender and paired nicely with the sour cream, turmeric oil, and salad. The turmeric oil added acidity, the salad added freshness and also acidity from the dressing it had, and the sour cream added a nice creaminess and tangy. These flavors offset the richness of the beets nicely. My second favorite dish, 8/10. For dessert we went with the "corn," which was a cake shaped like a corn cob with a chopped nut center and what I think was real corn kernels across the exterior, paired with a corn ice cream. Overall a solid dessert, the chopped nuts added a nice crunch however the cake as a whole was a bit dry. The ice cream added some needed moisture and paired nicely with the cake, though the texture was a bit icy, more like a corn sorbet than a corn ice cream. 6/10. Overall a good experience but with its high prices and small portions I wouldn't go back. The apps were on average between $20-$30 usd, with mains being between $25-$50 usd, and dessert $20 usd.

This is an unusual find in Tulum (or maybe fine dining is becoming more common there these days?)…read more Top notch service. We arrived on a rainy night and they improvised a valet device for us. We were seated in a lovely indoor/outdoor room, tables spaced well apart from other diners. Our waiter explained both the drinks and the food. In fact, when I wanted to order a glass of wine, he offered to have us taste all the reds they had available (since he didn't have faith in the one I had my eye on). The food was on the fancy side and very very good. One dish didn't succeed, but the rest did. It was a lovely night and we ate well!
