Being from Los Angeles, CA with a broad of excellent choices and high standards the service here was impeccable, including the attentive staff. The restaurant's cleanliness was also impressive, adding to the overall ambiance. Now onto the main event - the food and drinks. Each dish bursted with flavor. The dishes which I didn't photograph each were culinary masterpieces. And let's not forget about the drinks. The michelada left me wanting more. In summary, Los Aguachiles sets the standard. From the moment you step through the door, you're treated to good service, embracing the beautiful Mexican surroundings, and unforgettable cuisine. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable Mexican dining experience.
the fish tacos here are bussin!! perfectly breaded and fried, and topped with slaw. they also provide bottles of their homemade crema that i doused my tacos with. SO GOOD. also got the wonderful tuna tostada which was also good, but i feel like the fish tacos are the star of the show. i also think the hours on yelp are incorrect. came here on a monday thinking they opened at 12pm, but they opened at 1pm so would def call them to double check.
My friends and I came here after a day of cenote hopping. Los aguachiles was a nice way to end the day. We got a variety of things like that tacos, ceviche, fried shrimp appetizer, fish and chips, and of course the aguachiles. Everything was so good. I definitely recommend coming here for your seafood fix when in Tulum.
We were pretty excited to find this place on the edge of the main strip. Seemed out of the way so we figured it wouldn't be that touristy. How can you go wrong with a place that has aquachilles as the name? Customer service was good, no issues there. Friendly and they came by a bunch of times to check on us. I had the aquachilles negra and the wife had verde. The presentation was spot on. Looked all fancy. I got mine as a mix of octopus and shrimp. The seafood looked super fresh. Unfortunately, the flavor was over powered by the salsa inglesa. I have had it before and the salsa inglesa was an added flavor to the shrimp. Not the main flavor. I had to get some and let it drain a little so I could take more of the seafood. The cucumber was cut into strings instead of the normal half moons. Kind of like that veggie pasta cut. I think I like it this way better. But it had zero spice. Aquachille salsa is supposed to be blended up cilantro with serrano or habanero chilles. I had to add salsa to make it spicy. Kind of disappointing. I tried the wife's aquachilles Verdes, better but not spicy either. The flan de elote it's killer! Almost skipped the desert but we decided the try it. Very good corn taste with a hint of honey. I would come back just for this. Unfortunately, I would pass one the aquachilles if we come back.
We stopped in for a quick bite of seafood. They have it chained off so as to temperature check and sanitize guests on arrival. We were allowed to choose our table, and it was easy to social distance since every other table was blocked off. They also require masks as you move around from your table. It was nice to see that they care for their patrons and the community. They urged us to try the passion fruit mojito, which was so fresh and refreshing! We opted to share the shrimp Aguachiles and the fish ceviche. The ceviche was extremely sour and not very flavorful. The Aguachiles was the star of the meal!! Very fresh and flavorful and so well seasoned. Also don't miss the green sauce in the small bottle. It's spicy and soooo good on the Aguachiles and definitely made the ceviche more palatable. I will definitely return for more aguachiles! If you're in the neighborhood, give them a shot.
We spotted this place one day and went in for some aguachiles since they happen to be one of my favorite dishes. The aguachiles were good but not spicy. I did enjoy the flavor but they could have used that serrano spice. The absolute star though was not the aguachiles, it was the flan de elote that the server reccomended. It was absolutely delicious! I was in love with that dessert! You can taste the sweet corn but its creamy and can also taste that yummy flan. You have to try it! If you don't like spicy food, this is the place to be. But even then, I would go back for that flan alone.
Our shuttle driver recommended this place and it was echoed by our hotel concierge. We rode our bikes down which wasn't bad. The place is a little hard to see because they don't have a large sign, only a name on their building. So keep an eye out. Bike parking and street parking available. All outdoor seating although most of the tables are covered. We sat outside by the fan to keep cool and try to keep the flies away. Service was quick and friendly. We started with the guacamole, the salsa negra (half order) and the tuna stuffed cucumbers. So tasty. The salsa negra had some spicy jalapeños on it, and it's the least spicy of the aguachiles. Warning! lol. The coconut shrimp stuffed with cheese was delicious. Then we had an assortment of tostadas. The menu is a bit limited. Not much more than tacos, tostadas, and ceviches. The margarita was awesome. We had two each. Very nice and fresh. Very fun dining experience trying all new things. Service was spot on. Had the corn cake for dessert. It's served warm with ice cream, yum! Bathrooms are clean. The sink is on the other side of the wall. Good prices.
This place is a must go in Tulum. A little down the main road away from the main shops area, Los Aguachiles, is tucked, semi-hidden on the corner. Open air seating on plastic tables and chairs, this place bangs out dish after amazing dish. The pulpo dish is spicy, savory deliciousness. The tuna tostada was divine. The seafood rice was unique, flavorful and delicious. The Elote (Corn) was classically good. From our sample of eats, it doesn't seem like this place gets it wrong. Just go and enjoy - you will be glad you made the trip.
We were in Tulum for vacation and wanted some good seafood. We were really looking forward to trying El Camello Jr but it was closed. This place is just a few doors down. Here are a few problems we encountered from he moment we got there to the moment we left. The restaurant was pretty packed when we got there but a waiter sat us down on an empty table close to the bar. He handed us some menus and walked away. We flagged him to place our order for drinks and food. My BF ordered 2 beers and I ordered a Mezcal cucumber drink. For food, we ordered the aguachile de aguacate (avocado), calamari, and what seemed to be octopus in a sort of buffalo sauce. By his time, a fairly large family sat next to us. Tell me, HOW is it possible they got their drinks, complimentary tostadas/salsa AND food before we did????? I asked about 4 times for tostadas to 2 different waiters. Not to mention my drink.... omg..... I'm not exaggerating when I tell you I got my drink (the only one I ordered) about 10 minutes AFTER the food was brought to our table. My BF got his 2 beers and I was still waiting for the drink. I literally had to ask the waitress about the drink I ordered over 20 minutes ago. The tostadas??? Oh, we got those AFTER the food was brought to our table too lol!!! Now onto the food.... VERY bland. The aguachile was ok but it lacked flavor. We used the mayo based sauce they provided in old ketchup bottles to add some flavor. The octopus in buffalo sauce was actually good! Very tender and great portion size for 2. That came with white rice and black beans. The calamari was nothing less than disgusting. It was honestly the worst $7 I've ever spent. Not only was it cold, you can also tell it's frozen. The actual calamari was tough and very chewy. No seasoning aside from maybe a sprinkle of paprika. The mezcal drink was also bad. I can only describe it as tasting like bandaids. Our bill was about $45 USD which would have been great if service/food was decent. Needless to say, I will never go back.

This is another hidden gem with great eats. I have had their vegan tacos, their grilled octopus, their tuna cucumber roll. Very fresh and delicious. You get tostadas and a bunch of delicious sauces as well. Chill laid back vibe and decent service. read more

Food was delicious. We ordered the camarones cucaramaraca, atun tikitiki, tostada de atun fresco and chicharron de pescado. All dishes were finger licking good. Service was good and ambiance is popping with cumbias being played not that loud where you can't have a conversation. I would recommend. read more

YEP!!! This was our first and last meal in Tulum. I didn't want to leave without getting those aguachiles again! First visit we did aguachiles, ceviche, and micheladas. Solid! But let me just say....the aguachiles are everything. We took our server's suggestion and tried it in the salsa roja YES YES YES *CHEF'S KISS*! Delicious. So glad it was our last meal too! read more

What can I say, Yelpiverse? You've let me down. I came for dinner expecting greatness-I didn't even get goodness. No customary tortilla chips and salsa, only a few rounds (like used for tostadas) and several packets of saltine crackers to accompany the various squeeze bottles of condiments. We ordered mixed ceviche-it was meh. Ordered horchata-it was so unpleasant that I sent it back. During dinner, sewage began to back up through the floor drain...then the flies began to swarm. Lovely. Entrees arrived as employees squeegeed up the water pumping up from the floor. My octopus entree was literally BUFFALO STYLE! I was very nearly heartbroken. I expected a tender charred octopus with a lovely Mexican sauce-instead, I received deep fried (crunchy!) nonsense. I don't like buffalo wings, nor do I enjoy buffalo tentacles. Compared to all the amazing places I've eaten at while in Tulum, this is at the bottom of my list. read more

This place gets our 5 star rating due to the fantastic service provided by the director of the restaurant, Anuar. His attention to detail and desire to make our experience outstanding was impressive, this is definitely a man who has found his calling. The rest of the staff was very attentive as well and the food was an excellent value for the price. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed "vacation vibe." Our favorite dish by far was THE TUNA WONDER! A must! Perfectly marinated, tender tuna with avocado and a special sauce atop a crunchy Tostada. We started with a tempura shrimp and steamed fish taco...absolutely delicious...our favorite tacos in Tulum thus far. Definitely order tacos while you are here. We had "The figurine" with shrimp...which is the healthiest item on the menu. It was fresh, but I think you need to add your own flavor or else it won't taste like much...my dining partner disagreed and found it to be flavorful...well, to each his own. The last item we had was the Fish Ceviche Tostada. The fish was fresh, but again I suggest adding the sauces they provide to give the dish your desired flavor. For dessert, we enjoyed the carrot cake with vanilla ice cream on top...the cake tasted more like a muffin and wasn't very sweet (which we preferred ) but the ice cream was the best part. The highlight of our experience was the CARAJILLO suggested to us by Anuar. It was our first introduction to this after meal digestive made with coffee, ice and liquor 43 and the perfect way to finish our meal. We will definitely be back for another one! If you're in Tulum, this is definitely a place you don't want to miss:) 5 stars! read more

Two visits to LosAugaChiles so far on a one week stay in Tulum. Likely to be more! The Tacos here are on another level. Super fresh seafood, delicious sauces and gourmet presentation was unexpected in this unassuming Restaurant. read more

This place came highly recommended by our AirBnB host down the street, and I could see why. I actually have never tried aguachiles before but it's now one of my favorite ways to eat fresh seafood! It's typically a shrimp dish, I think, with lots of citrus and spices and some fresh veggies in there. I got the mixed aguachiles which included shrimp, fish, and scallops. They have a wide variety of sauces to choose from for your dish and I went with the avocado sauce, which was delicious! As with a lot of places near here, they'll give you a dish piled high with tostadas and a bunch of salsas. I was there in the low season, but I was surprised to see how empty the place always was. El Camello, another favorite on this street, was packed day and night but somehow this gem didn't get the same love! read more

We arrived at about 3pm on a friday and there was only one other couple here and one lady ordering take out. Waiters were excellent and not annoying.. I had the aguachiles los originales en agua verde and it was great. The GF ordered the rib eye and a cevixhe tostada. Which she said was also great. Very fresh. I ordered a oyster shot to start and it was delicious, and fresh (Im not a huge oyster fan) We at at El camello Jr down the street for lunch and both agreed this was better... They accept cards and amex unlike el camello which was also cool. The restaurant is a little bit hidden even though it is on the main highway otherwise i think it would be more popular.. read more

This place has blown me away all three times I've been here. At first it was the quality of the food. I could run down a list of all the yummy things I've had, but I won't. Just close your eyes and drop a finger on the menu a few times and get that. It'll be good. Then we decided to come back a year later and plan a lunch here for our 60 wedding guests. Everything, from our initial conversation with manager Maria Elena the week before, to the event itself could not have gone better. Maria Elena and her staff were an absolute joy to work with. I mean, AWESOME! They opened the restaurant an hour early for us and had everything completely set up and ready to go and kept 60 bellies and spirits very happy for over an hour. They even had Buena Vista Social Club playing when we rolled in, just as requested. The service was so spot on, fast and fun. And somehow they did this while several of the staff killed us on the foosball table. We ate pretty darn well at our wedding venue for four days, but our wedding guests are still talking most about "that lunch spot in Tulum". And if that weren't enough, they even have amazing craft beer brewed by the owners! I'm always on the lookout for a good pale ale, and it's VERY difficult to find most anywhere outside the US. Their Pescadores Pale Ale was spot on. We bought 5 cases for the wedding and they were demolished! Don't miss this place! read more
