So where should we start... the good ! The restaurant is beautiful very "Instagrammy" the view is nice they have their own little section on the beach and it's nice. Now, the drinks, we ordered spicy margarita which turned out to be lemon water with a lime and Tajin on the rim. AND THEY WERE NOT FILLED TO THE TOP. The drinks were disgusting. Then we ordered food! It was horrible, we ordered empanadas which were laughable. This place is a joke. Don't waste your time or your money. I would suggest Cabana La Lunas. It's right next to Taboo which you should also avoid. read more

Friendly place in town. We had "bites" and drinks twice. The staff is second to none. I wish I can get this friendly and quality of service in Boston. Both times we visited, were were greeted with smiles and a happy welcome. The bar tender makes great drinks and very happy. The light bites we had were enjoyable in a space that is very modern and cool. Another Tulum gem! read more

Service was amazing! I had the duck tacos and the shrimp tacos. Great place for a quick bite for lunch. The beach view was a plus!

Liked the ambiance of the restaurant so my husband and I walked in for dinner. Fabulous views with great food and service. We ordered appetizers of octopus, quail eggs with scallops and pear salad. Scallops were overcooked and underwhelming but the salad was spot on and the octopus was worth the trip itself. Dinner entrees of skirt steak and spinach ravioli. Both were delicious, highly recommend the skirt steak, very tender and well seasoned. Walk down the beach afterward, it's a beautiful experience! read more

Mina - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Excellent food, ambiance and service here. Went here quite a bit because I was staying at the adjacent hotel (Maria Del Mar-which I also recommend). The breakfast was delicious, dinner was too. My one criticism is that the cocktails sounds great on paper, and they do seem to be made with fresh, interesting ingredients, but they were all too weak on the liquor. You couldn't tell there was any in them practically! I would rather have weak but high-quality liquor in my drink rather than cheap liquor but...Considering the price, after a few of them over several days being so weak, I decided to skip their cocktails all together which was a shame. read more

This restaurant is a beautiful place to eat right by the ocean. I sat outside in their patio area with sand underneath my feet and palm trees next to me. This might be a good place to come and relax and drink if that's what you do. But I got a salad than an entrée and a dessert and neither one were delicious. The salad I got was a squash salad roasted over arugula with a hint of sweetness. Salad was so so, I've had better. I ate it all because I ordered it. I was expecting a little more. I also ordered the ravioli with spinach and tomato sauce fresh Parmesan cheese. I don't really order ravioli ever and I want to try something different I guess it was the wrong thing to choose. The pasta was just the bland, the sauce was bland and the spinach was bland. Still, I ate it, not all of it but just because I wanted it. Last but not least I ordered the chocolate cake with peanuts, actually, I should say least. I ordered it to go and they didn't put plasticware in my bag. How would I have plasticware in a hotel to eat my cake if they didn't put plasticware in my bag? Second of all, it looked like they just threw it in there and there were pieces of crumbs all over the cake like as if somebody just took some dried up frosting bread and crumbled it all over it. There were bits of strawberries cut up and blueberries over it. I've got to say I've never tasted such a sad chocolate cake. There are no peanuts in it. I don't know don't come here unless you want to spend a lot of money on a very basic bland food. I ate alone because I relaxed and did something on my own that day and it cost me $46 for a salad, ravioli with no meat in it, and chocolate dessert. read more

Dinner and nightlife on beach fantastic. The meals are superb. Finish with drinks at azula.

Great cocktails! Amazing grilled octopus & nice views on the beach. Very nice casual spot

Hit or miss food with poor service. I think the chef snubbed me for returning a bad dish ! Ate here with 3 other friends - we got there late (10pm) and were informed that many of a few things on the menu that were not available - fine. Food came over, prime rib was amazing, as was the octopus. I had ordered the lamb ravioli, which had NO flavor whatsoever. I asked to switch. I ordered the octopus instead. 3 mins later the waitress comes back and tells me that there isn't any more octopus, so I switch to the prime rib. 30 minutes later, the waitress comes back and checks to see if everything's ok. I ask how much longer for the rib, and she runs back to the kitchen to check, returning saying that it's going to be another 20 mins. ( she basically forgot to place the order.) I cancel the order and say we'll just order dessert, she brings us the menu, tells us 2/4 are not available, so we choose one that is. She takes our order, then comes back to tell us desserts are no longer available. Upon receiving the bill, we noticed that we were billed for an extra octopus, she kindly removed it. My friends food was good and the waitress kind, but I expect more for that price point. read more

Ok, fav drink, Margarita Deluxe! For food we order empanadas de carne and roast beef sandwich was delicious!!! Excellent service and nice view read more

Excellent place! I was here one day it was heaven now I keep coming back :) highly recommended!

We recently stayed in Tulum and found this wonderful restaurant. We were greeted by this fun and enthusiastic hostess named Luna! The whole wait staff were so nice and friendly. We ate a wonderful lunch. The next day we headed to find another place but were drawn back into this restaurant because they were so friendly. Their line of tequila was outstanding. We brought new friends we met and came for dinner the last night we were in Tulum. We had the roasted Pig (to die for), Ribs were perfectly cooked. We love this place. The people were what drew us in and then the food and atmosphere were delightful. We will be back. Thank you for the great hospitality. read more

Staying at the hotel adjacent to this spot (which is amazing itself), so we had lunch there our first day in Tulúm. The sandwich was so so so good and their drinks are to die for!! The next morning, the hotel informed us that they were giving us free continental breakfast during our stay...don't be fooled by "continental breakfast." It was a beautiful array of fruits, freshly squeezed juice that tasted like the best oj I'd ever had, espresso with foamed milk on the side, freshly baked assortment of breads, and 3 homemade jams made that morning. Our server told us that every morning they make new jams, fresh bread, and fresh pasta. Everything was delectable. Fresh fresh fresh mmmmm read more

Mina was outstanding! I was in Tulum for a close friend's wedding at the hotel connected to Mina (Maria Del Mar). I had several meals at Mina and drinks at the bar throughout the weekend (for breakfast definitely get their eggs benedict). The people were amazing. The bartender and manager found out I was a wine lover, so after buying a few bottles over a couple days, on our last night the restaurant manager, Uki, pulled out several bottles of Red Bordeaux's from her personal collection. They were incredible and completely on the house! Great people, great atmosphere, and great food. I highly recommend it! read more

We went here for NYE dinner last night and my wife is now suffering from a brutal case of food poisoning. She ordered the beef ribs, which we now assume sat outside for multiple days. Their staff is also flighty and non-responsive, which means you get the added benefit of waiting a really long time for the food that is going to make you spend the evening hugging the toilet. Thank you Mina for a miserable ending to an otherwise amazing vacation. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

This place is amazing! The food was the best we had in Tulum. We actually went back for a second time during our short stay. Definitely get the wood fire grilled octopus and the whole red snapper. And the scallops with quail eggs were fantastic. The service here was wonderful. Our waiter (we had the same one both times) was so friendly and attentive. Don't let the fancy look of this restaurant fool you. The prices are certainly reasonable. read more

See all

The service and the staff here was outstanding! We sat at the bar and got a chance to chat with the bartenders. They were personable, knowledgeable, and so passionate about what they were creating that it was palpable. Great cocktails, amazing food, and even better service! read more

Ummmmm. This restaurant doesn't measure up to the hotel that it belongs to. Stopped in for some late dinner tonight. It just wasn't that good. We likely won't go back. It's nearby and convenient but other than that not worth what it cost. read more

Loved it! Great place, wonderful people, beautiful reasturant/hotel and delicious food!

Looks are deceiving. Don't get fooled by the open kitchen and BBQ pit and previous reviews. First, I ordered a daiquiri... I never received it. Second, we ordered the empanadas and potato croquettes as appetizers. The empanadas we're hot on the outside yet cool on the inside; not something you want to bite into if you ask me. The croquettes lacked moisture and flavor. The good news is, they provide a bed of tomato sauce...advice: use it wisely and efficiently as you will need it for what seems to be a crumble cake. Let's move on to the main courses where the real trouble escalates rather quickly. My boyfriend ordered the ribs cooked atop the open fire flame and I the beer braised pork. By the sound of both, I mean how can you go wrong? Open fire flame! Beer braised!!! Sounds amazing...but what we received was the absolute opposite to anything amazing. His piece of beef rib was rare as they come. We're carnivores, but man created fire for a reason. It would be a shame not to properly cook a piece of meat the right way. As for my dish. For those of you that haven't been to tulum.., it's hot here. The ice melts instantaneously.. what I received was the coldest item my palette has touched since we got here. The ice cream I ate today was warmer than this meal. I mean if you're going to precook your food, by all means go for it, but for the food Gods, PLEASE reheat the damn thing. It was so cold I couldn't eat it. To top it all off, the prices this place had... man, you'd think you're eating at a 5 star restaurant. We couldn't restrain ourselves anymore and politely removed ourselves from the situation. So for all of you who have an interest in enjoying yourselves while on vacation, please I URGE you, go somewhere else!! And there are other greater options. Don't be the unfortunate patrons, at the end of the day you're on vacation and you're here to enjoy yourself. read more

My friend and I got a violent food poisoning case after eating breakfast here. And it happened on the day we were flying back home. We were sick for a few days. read more

My wife and I have been coming to Tulum for many years. During our visits we have eaten at a great many restaurants both on the beach road and in town. This year we were pleased to find that since out visit last year, a new Argentinian restaurant had opened on the beach road called Mina's which is inside the Maria del Mar Hotel (very near the local landmark known as Mateo's). We decided to give it a try and I am quite glad we did as in my opinion it is the finest restaurant in the area and far superior to the much lauded Hartwood for their similar offerings (and best of all you won't have to wait in line)! It's quite different from most restaurants in Tulum. To begin with there was ample parking in a private lot across the street and an attendant guided us by flashlight to the restaurant every step of the way, a wonderful little nuance to what was overall a very personalized and pampered experience. Once on the premises we found the hotel to have the most inviting ambiance of any establishment on the beach road, being nicely sited on a private lagoon, it appeared to me as if every room had an outstanding view of the sea. It is very upscale with a number of very trendy clothing shops in front yet the entire place exudes that laidback Tulum chic vibe. Mina's itself is open to the street, as well as having a wonderfully romantic dining area in the back overlooking the lagoon. The main dining area has an open kitchen with two huge wood stoked firepits to roast meats on spits, and cast ovens tucked into the wall. Chefs are properly appointed and behind the counter were abuzz with activity. The waitstaff was fully attentive and spoke perfect English for the non-native guests. However the vibe in the restaurant was definitely Tulum... laid back and inviting. The offerings are quite varied starting with creative cocktails, and an extensive wine list. The menu is loaded with grilled meat as one would expect at an Argentinian restaurant. During our trip we ate at Mina's three times and so I had the opportunity to try a wide variety of the fare. I'm not a big drinker, but one time I felt like it I decided to try the Ukulele (a frosty blend of spiced rum, banana, pineapple, with a hint of lime... just wonderful). My wife opted for the Petron's Mule a refreshing variation of the old classic made with mescal. They offer a full complement of signature drinks so for those interested in imbibing there was plenty from which to choose. Nonetheless we went there to eat and so I won't waste words on the preliminaries. During our visits we had as appetizers the quall eggs over scallops nicely presented on roasted sweet red peppers and a balsamic reduction... just delicious. We also sampled the empanadas served with salad greens which were like none we've ever had before, nicely stuffed in a wonderfully flaky crust and exploding with favor, a world away from the street fare offered in town. For the main course one night my wife had the vegan ravioli which she raved about. However the meals that put her over the top were the lamb stuffed ravioli which had the full-bodied flavor lamb-lovers crave, and the wood fired suckling pig. It was just out-of-this world with a moist sweet pork flavor nicely combined with the rich crispy skin as a nice compliment. The waiter mentioned that all beef was sourced from Angus cattle and as a true carnivore, I opted for the Cowboy Ribeye (twice!!), and can tell you that I would be happy getting this cut and presentation at any upscale steakhouse back home. It was fully marbled offering a wonderfully rich flavor, appointed with what appeared to be a peppery lentil mélange, and was as tender as one could want. The steak was huge, served on the bone, perfectly prepared as requested at medium-rare, wonderfully presented on a hot skillet, and nicely complimented with grilled vegetables. On my third visit I opted for the beef rib (not to be confused with pork babybacks). This entrée was also wood-fired and presented on a sizzling skillet and had the rich flavor of shortribs, remaining moist in spite of the grilled preparation and served with a nicely baked Mayan potato. However, if I was forced to choose I go with the steak, not because the ribs disappointed, but because the steak was just that special. Entree prices are in line with those of other fine dining restaurants on the beach road (~US$25), yet less than half of what a comparable meal would cost back home. It may take several vacations, but am determined to try everything on the menu as the offerings were quite wide including meat, fish, chicken, and vegan. Everything looked and smelled just that wonderful. As Mikey once so famously said, "Try it, you'll like it!" Though I disagree. I have no doubt you'll absolutely LOVE it. read more
