    Classic Mixed Ceviche
    Renelle W.

    We stumbled on this restaurant while searching for reasonable drink and food. It's a restaurant attached to a hotel with nice views of the beach. There is outdoor and indoor "that feels like outdoor" seating. Service was great. The food was delicious. I would say the shrimp and octopus tacos were the highlight. Very flavorful!! We got there before 6.30pm and was the catch the BOGO mezcalitas ! The price was reasonable for the area. Would recommend.

    Wowee, what can I say about this beach club in Tulum, Mexico, we had the best time here. So happy we decided to go with La Zebra for our beach day, we got the day pass which is approximately $80 per person, however, that money goes towards your food and drinks. Everything was absolutely top notch. The food was simply amazing. The staff was very attentive and always available for anything we needed. Loved it.

    We came back to La Zebra after seven years, and it did not disappoint. The service, ambiance, and food were amazing. As soon as we arrived, we were seated promptly. We started with a side of tortilla chips and three different salsas. We ordered infladitas and guacamole, and we had to get another side of chips to go with our guacamole. My kids enjoyed the maracuyá juice, while my wife and I had some craft beers. For our main course, we had shrimp, carne asada, and cauliflower tempura tacos, along with a quesadilla.

    We had an amazing time at La Zebra! The service was wonderful and the food was really good. We got the day pass and overall it was a great experience. Get the tacos!!!! I'd come back every time. The place was really neat including the upstairs area.

    Just got back from spending our honeymoon here. It is THE DREAM. This is the most perfect Mexico experience you can imagine, kept immaculate by the nicest people. Get a room with a your own ground-floor plunge pool/hot tub and you'll be steps from the restaurant, daybeds, ocean, and spa all day. You can watch the sun rise from your bed and order carrot cake from your hot tub. It's like this tiny little village full of all good things - fresh watermelon juices, octopus and shrimp tacos, fresh pastries, margaritas, and a heavenly Ayurvedic massage from the talented Carolina and Maurely. You don't need to leave, even though we did occasionally to go into the city for Honorio tacos and shopped along the strip. Coming back here again and again and recommend to everybody. 5 stars!!!!

    Guys this spot is a hidden treasure! The photos online don't do it justice. This is a boutique hotel with the most beautiful beach just steps away from the property. Our rooms really exceeded our expectations. You are in the middle of town with easy walking access to hotels and restaurants. The drinks and food are pricy but good quality. The staff is delightful! I'm absolutely coming back!

    The beach at La Zebra!

    Jaime is such a great server. He helped us with our beach day bed and cocktails and lunch! I'm not a burger person, but it was an amazing burger. The salsas were yummy and spicy!

    Again back to La Zebra and having amazing experience! The dinner was fantastic. The taste and presentation was beautiful for beet appetizer and for the octopus. The octopus was the best I ever had in Tulum! My waiter Guti was very friendly and helpful! P.S. the wait time was around 25-30 mins but it was worth the waiting. They cook everything from scratch and it takes time for beets to be cooked. So please be patient.

    Tikin Xic Style Fish. YUM!!
    Laura S.

    Beautiful place and outstanding food and service! They had a lot of dishes that you don't see on every menu, and they make it a point to highlight local food producers, like sausage from Valladolid and several kinds of local liquors and craft beers. Some of us had the tiny empanada-like appetizers - I had the privilege of tasting the tuna and the taco sudado. The latter was really mind-blowing. We had the guacamole served in the traditional stone bowl, and it was very good and a generous portion. I had the Tikin Xic style fish (grouper) that was really perfectly prepared. Really special! Others had the grilled octopus and the stone soup and everyone loved their food. The ambiance was calm and quiet with great, non-disco music. A really outstanding experience if you aren't looking for a crazed, over-hyped party atmosphere!

    Great spot, wonderful service, amazing food!!! From the moment we walked in to going back to the free parking across the street we had the best time. We are fascinated by the little casitas that you can rent and will look into staying there next time we are in Tulum.

    While visiting Tulum, my partner and I ate at La Zebra several times for brunch. The food is delicious, drinks are creative and made by a mixologist. Staff is so welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend eating at this restaurant if you are in the area. You will leave with a memorable experience!

    Huevos rancheros and Be Healthy drink.
    Jeff N.

    Beautiful breakfast overlooking the ocean. Huevos rancheros were delicious. Dulce de leches pancakes were ok. The dulce de leche came in a little cup, more leche than dulce but still good. Wish it were thicker (pause). The chorizo was good, salty (pause). Bloody Mary was real good! Nice music in the background, cool ocean breeze. Waiter was friendly.

    Top notch!!! Everything about La Zebra Beach Club was amazing and over the moon awesome. Our server on both days of our visit was beyond accommodating and helpful. He truly went above and beyond to make our beach days special. The most posh family friendly beach club in Tulum, it's about $50US per person to enjoy the cabanas and beach access from La Zebra if you're not a guest. The menu is also posh and food is so fresh and delicious, so you'll easily surpass that amount with any meal plus drinks from the 'Mulberry Project' La Zebra's chic likkle beach bar w awesome music playing. Both family friendly and adult friendly, the cabanas are shaded, spacious, and comfy with towel rental available. The restroom (smelled SO good!) and outdoor shower are convenient and routinely cleaned, you'll likely bump into someone cleaning the restroom of sand and water on the floors. Hand sanitizer on deck everywhere! Good vibes only, this section of the beach was further down the strip but super chill and enjoyable with a nice amount of space between other beach guests to remain socially distant. The wooden playground, Jenga table, and swing were all also nice touches.

I hardly drink and did not get even a baby buzz from the drink. The Margarita was OK. The service was OK. Each drink was $300 MXN or around $17 USD. Maybe I visited on an off day?

They were out of the filet so we were talked into the tomahawk over the ribeye. We requested med and it came out very rare. We had hem put it back in to cook longer and it was still super rare. We weren't even able to finish it. The sweet potato was covered in granola but felt more of like raw oats. Mashed potatoes were decent but honestly felt like they came from a box. I hate to write this I just needed to share bc the 5 stars felt over deserved. Vibe was there and this was the nicest restrooms I have seen all week. However the water for the sinks wasn't working initially. The spicy sauce they served was the best part. Drinks were also decent but small and when we reordered it was missing things the initial drink had. Just overall not impressed for the price. Ok just got home. Everyone is puking so I just changed the rating to one star. There is no way this restaurant has 5 star ratings, must be fake
