This is definitely my Go To spot in Tulum! I go here every time I'm in the vicinity. For some reason Tulum doesn't have many chicken spot options, and if you follow my reviews you know I'm basically a chicken maniac. They have some of the beat chicken in the city and also many other options. I have never heard anything bad about this place. Everyone is super nice, and helpful. I love the location, as well as the decor. They are on the corner of the action, it's always festive in the streets right outside and they have swings for you to sit in and eat. I sit at the swings every time and get drunk and stuff my face with tacos. Lol the bar swings are more fun when you're drunk anyway. This is a can't miss spot. An every visit type of place.
This restaurant was so cute! They had swings as seats at some of the tables and the food was good too. We got a strawberry/mango margarita and tacos and pizza. Delicious! The menu is pretty diverse, more options than your typical taqueria and they serve pasta and pizza! I would say it is good for when you're not sure what to eat or if you have picky eaters in your group of even a family who is hungry! The mango margarita tasted like they made it super fresh and the mangos were from real mangos. It's right off the strip of downtown tulum shops, so if you get hungry while you're out sightseeing and shopping, it's worth checking out. The staff was very friendly too.
When you live in LA, Mexican food is on every corner and although we have great restaurants here, the enchiladas at La Malquerida were the best enchiladas I've ever had! By far! I love how they are prepared with meat on top and the green salsa was excellent, great kick! The drinks are amazing too! They have everything from pizza and fries to traditional Mexican food. If you're ever in Tulum, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed!
Came here for the Lobster pizza during memorial weekend of this year but there was a shortage of lobster due to overfishing regulations and so we almost left to another place. Good thing we didn't! The waiter suggested the shrimp mushroom pizza and it was amazing! We also had the pepper wings I forgot what kind of pepper though, it was great too. We got the guac and chips for appetizer and it was okay probably would try a different appetizer next time. If we would have had stayed longer we definitely would've went back to try their other dishes but theres so much great food in Tulum to try, what can you do. Until next time! Btw this restaurant has swings for the bar and a few of their high tables which is pretty cool, we loved that. Its hard to find air conditioning in restaurants in Tulum so keep that in mind, bring bug repellent wipes and loose clothing that keeps you cool!
Food is good, service was not fast and not slow just average. Had to ask the waiters for extra refill and to place my order, this place may be understaffed as it was 80% full and the service could have been better. I ordered the guacamole, which wasn't salty like a previous post. However it lacked flavor and spice, I had to ask for habanero on the side to make things more interesting. Wish they would add more tomatoes, and some shallots to their guac. Not impressed overall. Chips were fresh, and enough in quantity for the serving. The fish tacos were slightly breaded, they were bland and lacked any flavor they didn't use any spice on them, . You really have to use the provided sauces to help give it some flavor. Rather disappointed in prior reviews. Mediocre, as a foodie I can get better Mexican food in California. I'd try other places, I'm sure there's better.
I've been in Tulum for 5 days at this point and have been to Malquerida 2x. They have a immense menu selection and everything that I have tried is muy bien. This pizza is $6 USD and I'm willing to line it up against $20 dollars pies back home it's that good. I'll frequent this place every single I come back to the Yucatán.
A charming, lively restaurant on a street that is shut down to vehicular traffic. We had ceviche that was quite good (although Tulum has amazing ceviche, and this La Malquerida's probably didn't rank top 5) and some quesadillas as well as some Pacificos. A decent meal in a fun location and restaurant, but definitely a teensy bit touristy! A meal I wouldn't mind having again though!
Great food:specifically the seafood! Had the ceviche with grouper, shrimp, and octopus one night; Then had fish tacos the next. Both were insanely excellent. We started each meal with the guacamole (which comes in a big bowl) which also was great. They take Credit card as well; I had visa. Seriously go eat here!
Just happened to find this spot while walking around the area. We stopped because there were seats at the bar with swings and not as full as the other restaurants nearby. The bartender was friendly and took our order quickly. I just ordered a margarita and it was great. Simple, strong and tasty. Not too citrusy. They make an authentic margarita. Didn't eat here so not sure about the food.
This place has very good Mexican food. It was Almost 10pm, we were tired and just wanted to eat a snack and go to bed. We saw the place and it looked nice, clean, and the menu looked good. The Nachos were fantastic! The best ones I've had so far! The prices are affordable and the atention was very good. Definitely coming back tomorrow for breakfast!

I love the fact that all of the restaurants and bars in this area are open until 2am even mid week. 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. read more

I'm so happy I found this place! My boyfriend and I spent the weekend driving up and down the Tulum hotel zone and the traffic was horrible (to give you an idea - the Rosa Negra restaurant was 30min from our Airbnb and it took us an hour and a half to drive down the beach strip). So on our last night we stayed in town and decided to eat somewhere local. La Malquerida beats all of the restaurants we went to on the hotel zone strip (in food quality, price, and service)! We thought it was the most authentic food we had the whole trip, and the ambience was great - outdoor seating is available, and there are a ton of other restaurants/bars in the area if you're in the mood for a nightcap after a delicious deal (you'll hardly need one - everything was very filling at La Malquerida). We can't wait to come back!! read more

Great place to eat! It always seems to have a great crowd of people the few times we've passed it. The drinks were great and so was the quesadilla. It was a quick stop so we didn't order a lot of things; but it was a perfect fix :) read more

This was the only dinner restaurant we returned to in Tulum because we enjoyed it so much. Was referred here by two different locals--took that as a good sign. Typical Mexi options and really delicious shrimp and fish. Corn and flour tortillas super fresh and soft. Margaritas were good, not great, but that wasn't our top priority. They even comped us a round of tequila shots before paying the bill, something I found very smart for helping with the tip and the likelihood of a return visit. Why don't more restaurants do that? read more
