We spotted this cute local restaurant on our way to the super market. Our server was so sweet. For apps I tried the shrimp ceviche, and didn't disappoint. I ordered tropicales on the drink menu which was a little watery. I could hardly taste the drink itself. The tampiquena was good. The steak was well cooked and super good. I recommend this place. read more

If you're in Tulum you have to stop by!! The staff, and I believe the owner were incredibly friendly and sweet!!

Between Tulum and Aktun Chen, our guide suggested we take a lunch break, and directed us here. Outdoor seating on the side of a busy road might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the food and service wow-ed us and La Coqueta definitely earned their 5 stars! The menu is somewhat small, but covers all the bases. Since we didn't have breakfast this morning, and this was a relatively early lunch, we were pleased to find that breakfast was available all day here, so I checked off my Chilaquiles craving, and tried the Stuffed Avocado app. Others tried French Toast, Tacos, Omelettes, Burritos etc. We were taking a short break from alcohol so we opted to try their blended juices and tried the Mango Passionfruit which was amazing. Service was truly amazing too and the server from Serbia was very pleasurable and happy to answer all our questions! read more

Sooooo good. The flour tortillas are to die for. Awesome service. Fun atmosphere. Will definitely be back! read more

My group tried a number of tacos. Excellent flavor and service was great. Wonderful margaritas!

This is a very casual cantina style restaurant with awesome pop style decor and bright colors! The lady who is the owner was so sweet to me and made my birthday extra special! There is a wheel you can spin and win a birthday drink! I won a tequila but I'm a light weight andl could not handle it but tried a tiny sip for the first time, when she realized I could not drink it, she got me a pina colada that was fresh with amazing flavors! She is the best! I ordered the tampiquena (sirloin and chicken enchilada which was amazing, with fresh flavors and ingredients, the kind of food you want to eat when in Mexico. My fiancé ordered the burrito, which was huge!! And he definitely enjoyed it! The prices are fair for the quality and quantity of food being served alongside the amazing service! Thank you for having us and especially for making my birthday fun! read more

Really good food and service. However its location on a major corner intersection means that all traffic stops in front of the restaurant. The smell of diesel and the noise is distracting and unpleasant. Compared to other restaurants of the same caliber it's rather pricey. Guacamole was nearly US$8 a serving. Lunch for two was about what we pay at a mediocre Mexican place back home. 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

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

Order the shrimp tropical tacos and thank me later. They are marinated and have amazing flavor plus the bits of pineapple and the sweet homemade tamarindo sauce make for a party of flavors in your mouth. Service was great and quick. Tamarindo margarita was equally delicious. Pricing is affordable. Would definitely come back! read more

The food was decent but the drinks were pretty good. Definitely a stop in if you're looking for a quick dinner.

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

Easy spot right in the middle of Tulum, colorful place, very nice staff speak English. Great for breakfasts and lunches and afternoon cocktails! We came twice good prices too! read more

Where do I start with this place... We stumbled upon it after I'd just been highway robbed of ₱1170 by the Policia. I was saltier than a seaman's swashbuckle and passed the right turn to head back to Playa del Carmen. Flipped a U-ey and this place was right in front of us, so we thought we'd give it a try. So glad we did! We ordered the Aguachile (ceviche w/avocado), Mayan Tacos, seafood soup, and chimichanga, all of which were delightful (esp the Aguachile!). The fried banana w/chocolate ice cream was so good we ordered a second. Absolutely worth giving them a go. read more

A great little place filled with paintings of Frida and good food. The shrimp here is amazing, not only is it tasty but they serve you a good portion size. Can't wait to go back once in Cancun. read more

I had bookmarked this location for our recent trip to Talum based on the reviews. La Coqueta is located in "En Pueblo" or in town and not the resort or hotel area and is easily accessible from the main hot spots in town and minutes from the Beach. We arrived for lunch and didn't have to really wait we were the only ones in the restaurant which is outside seating only. We ordered a pair of Modelo beers and I went with the nachos and my girlfriend went with the chicken nachos. Her tachos were tasty, good soft warm tortilla, fresh avocado and the chicken was on point. The tacos were good, but nothing you can't have in the states. I was not impressed with the nachos, the beans didn't have much flavor, kinda bland like canned beans. What did it for me was the cheese, they literally took square sized slices of cheese and put several of them on top of the dish. The way it was melted it looked like they put the dish in the microwave prior to serving it. The taste was nothing special, tasted like pub food rather than an authentic taco shop. The service was good and the server was attentive and the food wasn't expensive at all. However, I do plan on going back to Talum but I won't be back to this location. 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

Food is wonderful. We especially like the Brazilian cut steak, always cooked perfectly, fresh fish and seafood offerings. Nicely priced wines and good margaritas. We enjoy the ambience too. read more

The atmosphere is cheerful, I wish I could say more positive things but the food was tasteless. The pure straight up tomato sauce served in leu of salsa was not good. The beans were watery, and I don't know how onions can manage to be flavorless in fajitas but they were. read more

Went in with high hopes because of the Yelp reviews but left pretty disappointed. I got the shrimp tempura borracho tacos, and my boyfriend got the veggie tacos. Idk if the shrimp in my tacos wasn't dried off well enough before cooking or what but they were soggy and tasted like pool water. The veggie tacos my boyfriend got were just steamed carrots and broccoli with cheese on it. On the bright side, the chips and salsa were good, and the atmosphere was pretty cute -- our table was under a little hut and there was some nice artwork and splashes of color. It's possible we just got the wrong things, but we won't be coming back here. read more

This place will fill you up for sure. Was it as amazing as some of the other local joints, meh. It averaged a full belly but the price was something I paid for in Playa Del Carmen (which had better service). For starters, you get complimentary chips and a trio of salsa. Pick de gallo (basic/not spicy), a red blended salsa (mild), and a green/verde salsa that has a kick of a scared mule. The only weird thing is when I asked for more salsa (the portions of small), they brought this weird honey with pepper option as a salsa substitution. Basically- the chef was struggling with the house getting full so he poured some honey. I felt bad for the guy- the only waiter had to step in the back to help food prep. I ordered res (beef) nachos for my husband and I to share. The cheese was deli slices of what seemed to be manchego cheese. It wasn't melted all the way which made me feel like I was peeling stuff off of my chips. Weird. For our entrees I ordered the chicken/jicama tacos. My hubz ordered the beef tacos. I have to say that the protein in both orders were really amazing. The beef was super tender in both the nachos and his tacos. 3 stars: - good beef and tacos (plus) - service (mediocre) - quality for price (negative to mediocre) 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

After an early morning activity we were looking for a place for a tasty local lunch. Luckily this spot was the closest to the hostel we were at. Grabbed a seat outside in the shade and had the most delicious food within moments! Wonderful fresh food and really good sauces. If you are in Tulum definitely check out this spot. Highly recommend! read more

This place is closed due COVID. We tried to go last night and an employee mentioned that they are not sure when they will reopen.

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

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 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

BEST FOOD I'VE HAD IN MEXICO SO FAR!! My boyfriend & I were looking for some tacos in the Tulum area, and decided on this place because of the dessert options (more on that later), and OMG I'm so glad we came here!!! Super cute tiny place with outdoor seating. Parking was a bit challenging, but we found some street parking nearby. Not all the staff spoke English. They DO accept credit cards (rare in Tulum). First we got some chips and salsa. There was pico de gallo, a mild tomato salsa, and an **AMAZING habanero salsa!!** - I'm not a huge spicy foods person, but this was seriously the BEST salsa I've EVER eaten. Don't get me wrong, it was SPICY, but such a deep and delicious flavor like nothing I've ever tried before. MUST TRY!! I got the Mayan Shrimp Tacos - such a unique flavor and SOOOO delicious. I don't normally eat the beans & rice that come with, but everything was so perfectly balanced that I enjoyed every bite on my plate. I added some of the habanero salsa to my tacos, making them even more spicy & delicious!! And for DESSERT... We ordered the CORN ICE CREAM! I've never heard of anything like this before, but it was the absolute perfect end to a spicy masterpiece of a meal. So mildly sweet yet bursting with flavor - and it came wrapped in a corn husk!! What a creative idea! I left on cloud nine. Seriously, I can't recommend this place enough!! read more

This place was absolutely amazing! Although they didn't have breakfast burritos on the menu, you can substitute eggs into any burrito and make one yourself. When I first received my burrito it came with random veggies which I didn't want and the owner was quick to notice the concerned look on my face and politely asked if there was something wrong and if I needed it made again. Thankfully I got my correct burrito in no time and it was delicious . Amazing service and food! read more

Great tasting food and great ambience, price is fair for the portions! Different options for all family members

Really good food but on the pricier side! Their habanero sauce is the spiciest thing I've had in Mexico so far. It's on the corner of a busy intersection with not a lot of room for parking. I would recommend walking or biking to the establishment. If you are driving there is parking on the side streets around the restaurant! We had steak fajitas, shrimp fajitas, and shrimp ceviche. The shrimp dishes were the best!! Also defineltu recommend ordering the guacamole! It's really good and pretty inexpensive (80 pesos!??) Will definitely come back for seconds! 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
