Great food, amazing prices and service. The owner is very lovely and loved sharing this meal with my family of 8. Order the agua Fresca, the chimichanga, burritos, tampiquena, sopa de marisco.
Friendly service and tasty fish. I don't know their secret, but the rice was incredibly moist and delicious!
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.
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!
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
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
Highly recommend! Pull right up to the door on a scooter and be greeted by a hospitable staff with great service and great tacos!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

If you're in Tulum you have to stop by!! The staff, and I believe the owner were incredibly friendly and sweet!! The food was so delicious from appetizers to desserts you really can't go wrong with any options (we ate here enough to try a decent amount of the lunch/dinner menu)! Even the drinks were perfect and there was definitely no skimping on the alcohol- luckly we walked! Please stop by and try the Mayan shrimp tacos, guacamole, and finish off with fried bananas for dessert, you'll be happy you did!! read more

Came here for an authentic Mexican meal. I had high hopes because of all the great reviews I read on yelp. Outside seating with a bar, my fave! Unfortunately the food was a total let down. I ordered the garlic shrimp and veggies. It lacked sauce and seasoning. There was nothing authentic about this meal. read more

This place is a beacon of light in a difficult place to find good food. Tacos were incredible, classic nachos were incredible, and the churros were legendary. (Served with rocky road ice cream.) 9.8 out of 10 would recommend read more

La Coqueta has great food. 10 days in Tulum and we dont care for the yucatan taste at all and finally found La Coqueta, authentic mexican food. Service was great. We used google maps and couldnt quite find it until we spotted a crowd and it turned out to be it. It is across the street from Aki, La Coqueta is not in the corner but close to it. Definetely worth looking for, parking is tricky. Price was reasonable too. Will be back the remaining days of our vacation. Alcohol is also served. Highly recommend read more
While in Cancun we decided to go on an excursion to the Tulum ruins and Yakal Lagoon. Our driver highly recommended La Coqueta for some authentic Mexican food. It was delicioso! Right away we liked the look of the place. The decor was so colorful and fun! Most of our table ordered tacos. I ordered the chicken nachos. The serving size was HUGE! Two people could've shared the nachos easily. The nachos were layered with a bunch of scrumptious goodies. First there was a layer of black beans, then the amazing chips, next there was a layer of ooey gooey cheese and then a generous portion seasoned chicken with pico de gallo. It was all topped with a scoop of fresh guacamole. I suggest ordering a side of tamarind sauce. Just do it! I promise you you won't regret it. The nachos were good all by themselves, but the sauce... YUM to the next level! If you are in Mexico and you're in the Tulum area I'd highly recommend stopping in this place! read more

The menu can be a bit overwhelming, but there is something for everyone here. Huge portions! Servers were smart enough to ask if we were really hungry because we ordered a lot, and they happily offered half portions. My friend and I split the shrimp ceviche, which was so fresh. The guacamole is nothing special. We each had seafood dishes - I had the shrimp tacos and my friend had some other shrimp skewer type dish. I know, way too much shrimp for one meal, but the server recommended that their shrimp dishes were the better options on the menu, and we did enjoy the seasoning! Rice and beans on the side were nothing impressive. Complimentary chips seemed a little stale, but I really liked their salsa here. This place is super cute, from the decor to the menus, they seem to have a group of great artists working for them. read more

I am giving La Coqueta five stars without hesitation. If you are in Tulum, THIS is the place to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner! It's ridiculously delicious and affordable. The owner of the restaurant runs the tables by herself - she's incredibly quick and friendly. The décor is colorful, playful and inviting. They were in the process of painting a cute mural on the wall. I absolutely loved the design of their menu. We ate here twice during our three day stay in Tulum but I wished we visited more times. Firstly, you are served with tortilla chips and three different salsas - mild, hot and extra hot. Very tasty. Our first visit was for lunch - we had chimichangas, guacamole, piña coladas, mojitos, corn and coconut ice cream. Everything was delectable! Their drinks were yummy, strong and big. Both ice creams were good but the corn ice cream was to die for (the owner highly recommended it). We came for dinner for our second visit, so we ordered actual entrées this time. I got the chicken fajitas - it's for sure the BEST fajitas I've ever had. The chicken was well-seasoned and they were loaded with cheese and veggies. They also came with a side of guac and black beans. My friends also enjoyed their meals and we couldn't stop comparing La Coqueta's food to everything else we ate while in Mexico. There is no higher praise. La Coqueta cooks bomb ass food and you need to head there right now! read more

After skipping breakfast to try to beat the crowds to Tulum ("try" because we failed - who woulda thunk it'd be hard to wake up the morning after a post-Coachella red-eye!) and spending half a day snorkelling, boating and checking out the ruins, V and I were as ravenous as the iguanas we had been running away from all morning. With a drive to Cancun ahead, we decided to skip going into town and just pulled over at this highway-side shack instead. The Mayan gods must have been with us, because La Coqueta was gold!! The friendly folks at this small Mexican restaurant have transformed what could have been a drab truck stop into a colourful and vibrant hide-away. Though it's hard to escape the heat this close to the equator, the shaded outdoors seating allowed for some respite from the sun with making you feel like you're cooped up inside. Portions here are huge - despite our rumbling stomachs, we were barely able to finish half of our meals but my tongue was berating my stomach all the way, because the flavour was out of this world. My ceviche was super fresh and tender, perfectly cured in lime and just the right amount of spice. V's massive burrito was packed full of gooey cheese and tender chicken with just the right amount of char. Screw beachside margaritas, roadside fare is the way to go in this end of town! read more

I visited Tulum for my birthday and stayed at Copal Tulum Hotel. We used bikes to get to this restaurant almost every day of our stay because the food was delicious and fairly priced compared to other places in the area. The foods we tried throughout the days were the burrito de camarón, red chilaquiles with chicken for breakfast, tamarindo margarita, shrimp ceviche, guacamole and everything was great! On one of the days that we biked here, it was very hot, and the lady at the restaurant saw us and she quickly turned the fan on for us and asked us to sit. Please come here and give it a try! read more

My bf and I stopped here on our way to our all-inclusive resort on a whim to try some local food (and starved from a long day of travel). We ordered the platter for two, which included a burrito, chimichanga, shrimp tacos, avocado stuffed with shrimp, etc., & two margaritas!! The favoring exchange rates only cost us a whopping $40 USD after some more drinks! In America all that food would've cost us easily $100!!! Did I mention it was delicious?! Erika, the owner, took time to get to know us, and even write us out a map of local "hidden gem" attractions that her family and friends prefer over the usual tourist attractions. We are thankful to have stopped there and meet her. Even thought we are staying at an all-inclusive, we plan to return before our departure & and visit some of the recommended places around the area! Thank you Erika! read more

Tulum seems to be popping up with all these cute places all over town. Definitely my type of vibe, but not because the food amazing, simply because it is IG worthy. The best part about this place are definitely the cold frozen drinks and the food is just okay. After spending a whole day at the beach you will practically eat anything, here they offer decent food and a fun atmosphere. I would definitely stick to the burritos though, those are always a safe pick. read more

This place is a hole in the wall, small but has ample space. Honestly, this is one of the best breakfast spots we have hit in the cancun/playa/tulum area. Every dish even the simplest simple egg & beans had so much flavor!! 100% recommended read more
