Coffee
Lora K.

Delicious food! Just wish the portions were a tad bigger. It would also be nice to have different choice of a side then white bread, perhaps fruit or vegetables. The staff are super friendly and gave us hibiscus drink to try that was refreshingly tart and sweet. I had the harvest lentil bowl which was perfect. I also tried the coffee, which was so creamy, not too sweet, and packed with nice complimenting flavors and textures of coconut and cinnamon bark. I also tried the green smoothie, which was more of a juice consistency, which I liked, and not too sweet which was great. It was very refreshing. It was such a fun and lovely experience eating here and I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm in Tulum.

Smoothie bowl

Wowww prob top 3 spots in Tulum for me. I got their coconut coffee (insanely good), bounty bowl and smoothie bowl I miss it so much! Please sell your dressing from bounty bowl internationally !!!

Taco
Felicia C.

Liefs popped up repeatedly so naturally we went during our Tulum trip. We got the BBQ Jackfruit sandwich, a taco, and the power bowl! Oh-- and a green smoothie. Everything was packed with flavor, filling, and healthy! Usually when we travel we eat horrible because of all the vegan junk food places that we don't typically have back home, but this was perfect. My favorite was the BBQ jackfruit sandwich. The outdoor seating is in a shaded area where it is nice and comfy-- and the menu has something to suit everyone's tastebuds. We also got the mini crepes that actually resembled silver dollar pancakes covered in chocolate, strawberries, and bananas. Try them out! They will not disappoint-- the owners are attentive and have a vibrant personality!

Better Than a Burger
Alicia W.

A vegan spot this hoppin always gets our 5 stars! It's an outdoor food van with an array of options that are served throughout the day. We stopped by for a late lunch and opted for the Bounty Bowl and Better Than A Burger. We also had the cold brew and a lime tea. Because we enjoyed the fare so much we took the Brunch bagel to go. All three were delicious! Just because I was in the mood for hummus, avocado and bread (3 of my favorite things) the brunch bagel was my fav!

Shroom sandwich and perk burger with a black bun
Juliette Q.

I wish I can give more than a 5 star review! Food is out of control wonderful, great portions, friendly owner, and amazing juices! We tried nearly every juice we could. I had a spicy pineapple mango juice and it was amazing! We also ended up getting a lemon juice with ginger. For our meals we had the shroom sandwich and the "perk" burger. Guys, amazing. Amazing!!! In the end of our meals, we decided we had to eat dessert, so naturally we did. The crepes are TO DIE FOR! Prices are amazing for the food. Must go!

Friendly and thoughtful service

Treat yourself to the gastronomic and guilt-free vegan delights at Liefs! This welcoming, happy-vibe gourmet food truck embodies the charming warmth that draws many to Tulum. From the moment we arrived, the staff and owner were friendly and full of smiles, we had so much fun chatting we nearly forgot that we were hungry.   We enjoyed reading the origin story of Liefs from their menu and then perusing the sumptuous options for authentic local inspired food listed on the opposite page (photos included in review).   My wife and I started off with some delicious mezcal (400 Conejos) to toast in celebration for having found Liefs. It was exactly what we were looking for - something romantic and peaceful - away from the noisy and often overpriced places in the Tulum resort area.   I ordered the generously portioned Taco Tubito, and it was an artfully crafted nom. The perfect starter to tempt me for more.   My wife, ever the tasteful hedonist, started with the Bomb Banana Bread (dessert). The home-baked bread was moist, fresh and not too sweet, with all the ingredients obviously present and balanced.   I then followed with the Smokey Shroom Sandwich. Not exaggerating here, it was the best mushroom sandwich I have ever eaten. The sandwich was top quality comfort food with excellent flavor and texture. Even the chips were amazing. Unsurprisingly, it was also the menu favorite of the owner!   I would unquestionably return to Liefs for another meal at any time of the day, and expect that everything will be just as exceptional. Thank you Thomas and Femke for creating such a magical place, and sharing in the experience of Tulum with us!

This was an accidental find as I was searching for an Indian restaurant nearby. What a happy…read moreaccident indeed - the food is outstanding, fresh, spicy, delicious. Better than most Thai food I've had in the US, and I'm from Seattle where you can find good Thai on every block. I had the fresh rolls (yum, came with two delicious sauces) and the panang curry which was outstanding, with moist chicken that melted in my mouth. Washed down with two bottles of Singha (yeah for something other than Mexican beer!) Service was friendly and prompt and vibe was chill and relaxed. Will definitely be back!

I wouldn't tell anyone this restaurant is a must stop while in Tulum, but if you're looking for…read moresomething that'll suffice for a morning meal where you won't wait long for a seat, this is a good option. They operate as a Mexican spot for breakfast and lunch, then pivot to Thai food at night. Interesting concept and I can only speak to the Mexican fare, which was a little odd, but perfectly fine for a quick meal. I ordered a huevos rancheros style breakfast with a side of grilled plantains. Nothing mind blowing, but quick and easy way to start the day. They have a bunch of juices and other heathy options, so if you're feeling bloated from all the 2-for-1 tequila drinks you've been pounding for several days straight, they can get help to rebalance your qi.

I was greeted by warm customer service, and I placed an order for fish tacos and an order of fresh guacamole. The guacamole came it very fast!!! It had a fresh flavor and I could taste notes of lime and cilantro. The guacamole was so delicious that it was hard to stop eating it. I continued eating it even after my tacos had come out. Now onward to the main course, the tacos had that nice grilled char to them. With that char, you were still able to taste the freshness and deliciousness of the fish! The tortillas were freshly made, and there were both green and red salsas on the side. These salsas added a magic touch! So amazing!! I would highly recommend this place. Cheers to good eats!

The tacos on the other hand were brought out on a skillet and were 90% onions/peppers with barely any actual meat. Sauces they gave us for chips and tacos were bland and flavorless. At the end the bill was about $50 US and they charged us $67 US with high conversion. They only accept cash but a sign out front with the Visa/MasterCard logo was actually pointing across the street to a different restaurant. We glanced and assumed they took card. All in all it was not the best experience especially food-wise although the waiter was nice and polite.
