We went to this place for dinner because everything else seemed to be full or the menu didn't appeal to us. It's a casual relaxed place and our server was super helpful - he also spoke English. I tried the Murmur cocktail on his recommendation - passion fruit, mezcal and basil - and it was one of the best I have tried. I usually do not like cocktails but this was a great way to taste the smokey mezcal add another depth to the passion fruit, while the basil made it very refreshing. We were not super hungry so I ordered a mixed greens salad while my husband got the potatoes with chorizo. Both were impressive - the dressing on my salad was sweet, and had smoked papaya paste on the side. The potatoes were unbelievably flavorful. We ordered dessert - the mango-coconut one, but they were busy, we waited a while but we were tired so we cancelled it and paid the bill. Just as we were about to leave our server brought the dessert, compliments of the house. It was lightly sweetened coconut cream with chunks of soft sweet mango, garnished with fried slivers of coconut. The dessert was WOW - light, flavorful and bursting with flavors. I read later that the chef Diego Hernandez was named one of the rising chefs in 2011 by Travel and Leisure magazine. He focuses on using local ingredients and his experience with Baja cuisine. read more

Great little spot with swinging bar chairs! They have good cocktails and are right in the heart of tulum. We didn't have dinner, but the spanish red wine, and cocktails were amazing. Spot by for a drink, and walk around the shops located in the alley. read more

Also got food poisoning from this place. Spent the last two days of our trip unable to leave the hotel room. Save yourself the same misery and find another place to go. read more

This was my first time at Mur Mur, I wasn't terribly hungry, due to having a late lunch, so I just had the fish crudo. It was so delicious! A great combination of fresh fish and citrusy-sharp flavors...it was an appetizer portion and I seriously considered ordering a second one. Great atmosphere, too, It's on the jungle side, but not as "buggy" as some of the other places. Our server was very nice and we really enjoyed our meal. read more

Mur Mur was an excellent dinner, the food was well prepared and delicious. The people here were very kind and gave us everything we want/needed promptly. The food was well seasoned and was cooked to perfection. On the menu was descriptive and told you the seasonings they brought free appetizers (chicken, cheese, spinach; seasoned well), they had a few vegetarian options as well. This was an awesome restaurant not the best I've ever had but a good kid friendly option. If you get hot easily then try to get a table towards the front there are no fans or air conditioning, once the sun sets you get a nice breeze. Over all this is a good family friendly option. read more

Atmosphere, ambiance and the service was great. However, I ordered the swizzle drink which tasted horrible, I didn't even drink it and I ordered the grilled octopus for my meal. I spent the next day in the hospital from food poisoning from the octopus. I recommend not ordering the octopus here unless you want to spend a day of your vacation in the hospital. read more

Phenomenal!!!! From the Yucatán pork (AMAZING!) to the Grilled Octopus, very simple menu but so tasty and you can taste the fire roasted in every bite. Starters we got the chorizo potatoes and roasted beets, everything was perfection! read more

We stopped here since hartwood was booked, my snapper was great but my gf's lamb chops were raw. Also all they had was like 2 wines that they sold per the glass all the others you had to buy a bottle. We had went to ARCA the day before and had amazing food and wine, this place was a bit pricy for what we got. ARCA was fairly priced and better! read more

Mur Mur - Mexican Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Incredible!! Fresh seared red snapper with chilies, nopal cactus, and tomatillo sauce. Best meal I've had in Tulum! Also had an awesome roasted beet appetizer that was beautiful. So glad we couldn't get into The Hartwood tonight or I would have missed out on this meal at Mur Mur. Our waiter was friendly, a foodie, and chatted with us all about the restaurant, farm, the chef. read more

Stumbled into Mur Mur one night and it was one of the best meals we had in Tulum. At first when approaching, I thought it was a collection of a couple small restaurants since it is on the jungle side and has a long walkway towards the back with seating/bars/kitchen scattered on each side of the walkway. But I'm pretty sure all belong to Mur Mur. Mur Mur serves complex dishes (versus some of the simple (still tasty) Mexican fare around) and has very artistic plating, reminded me of some restaurants back in NYC. For dinner, my boyfriend ordered steak and I had fish. When the server brought out my fish, he started to pour the sauce on top. I usually freak out when I see a server pour/drench my dish in sauce, but after tasting it on my fish I thought, more please!! The fish was served with skin which was crispy and tasty! I liked that there were several textures happening on my plate: crispy skin, flakey fish, tender veggies, sauce/puree. The only negative was that the fish skin was a bit salty, but overall wasn't a big deal. The service here is also really friendly and quick. Definitely a must visit in Tulum. read more

This place has the best food we have had all trip. In addition to that, the ambiance and service is fantastic! For drinks, get their Marga. Also...the pork tostada...I don't even like pork )that is my husband's bag...but the dish is still great. So grateful we found it read more

Super cool staff! Like wish to be your new bff LOL Awesome music! Great location. Culinary genius and mixed drinks artists! Food was to die for. Gorgeous decor and chill vibe. Only 1 problem, to me minor but ruined it for friends...mosquitoes out of control and crappy internet. Me , I stick with my 5 Stars still. If in Tulum, Mexico, in my opinion, must check it out no doubt for sure. read more

I was hoping this place was better but it's just ok. I think our server wasn't having a good day or something and made the experience weird read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Mur Mur. We were actually heading over to Hartwood next door but there was an issue with the reservation and we ended deciding to try another place instead. Lucky for us, Mur Mur was just a stone's throw away. We walked up to the hostess and said "we completely understand if you can't fit us in since we don't have reservations but do you have any availability for two by chance?" - they were so sweet and welcoming and told that they could of course fit us in and walked us back to a very nice private spot in the garden. Shortly thereafter the manager came over and extended his welcome, introduced our waitress to us, and made us feel very at home. Our drinks were wonderful and our waitress was knowledgeable about both the drinks and food offered there. The atmosphere is amazing and the little stores that surround your dining area make for a fun after dinner experience. I really don't think you can go wrong with anything on this menu - everything was absolutely delicious! We'll be back before we leave Tulum and I honestly can't wait. This is definitely worth the price tag (and really not that bad considering all the food/beverages we ordered). Thanks Mur Mur! read more

A MUST! Absolutely one of the BEST dinners we've had in Tulum! We started with the mixed green salad and the beets. Salad sounds boring right? Wrong. The salad had these seeds and smoked cheese that worked so well with the greens chosen, simple but nothing is typical here. Everything is sourced locally and you can definitely tell!! I usually think beets taste earthy (like dirt), but these were so good!! For dinner we had the chicken and the grilled fish (snapper that day). The chicken was moist and perfect! (I didn't let him pour the sauce on it because I like to dip.) Even the brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly! (Need thesaurus, I know but perfect really is the best word for these dishes!!) His fish was also wonderful and just melts in your mouth. All the flavors were subtle and delicate to match each dish. Afterwards we had the flan, it too was light and fresh with just the right amount of sweet. Our waiter was attentive but not annoyingly so. The food was timed in a relaxed vacation way, not the fast paced American way. We were shocked the place was almost empty but discovered they had recently opened back up a week before after off season closing. It will be slammed when season starts back so get their early or be willing to wait. WORTH IT!! If your taxi doesn't know Mur Mur, ask for Hartwood and walk down the road to Mur Mur instead. It's very close, north of Hartwood and Arca. read more

Cute lounge dining, great food and amazing service. And it beats the boujie vibe next door at Hartwood!

Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The ambiance is very nice from the outside but we were very disappointed once we had the experience on the inside. The ceviche with filled with so many huge chunks of vegetables that the fish was indistinguishable and the shrimp was hardly noticeable. They gave myself as well as a gentleman at the table next to me the chump part of the fish for our catch of the day entrees which was also completely over cooked and both tables sent it back. On top of that, the service was horrific. Highly disappointing overall. read more

Loved the: beets, mini pork tacos, ribs, sea bass and potatoes. The lamb chops were a bit tough. 6 of us sat around eating on sofas and it was perfect. The food, ambience, lighting, music, service was all on point. And there are clothes stores. read more

Eating at Mur Mur was the best meal I had in Tulum! First and foremost, the atmosphere is fantastic and the staff is extremely attentive. We were able to dine with a large group which isn't always easy to find. Also, because I was with such a large group I was able to try every dish on the menu and I LOVED everything. Even the pickier eaters in our group thoroughly enjoyed most of the food on the menu! I highly recommend the roasted beets appetizer and the pork for an entree! The vegetarian options were also delicious. They also have a great cocktail list and the food is very reasonably priced! The most expensive entree on the menu is roughly $18. read more

The ambiance is cool, but I believe overrated. We were 5, and we ordered the fudge, the octopus and the quinoa salad. There was something wrong with all of them except the main dessert. The tastes of the ingredients didnt match. About the dessert, the fudge is just a chocolate cake with whipped flavored cream in it. So basic That I will cook the se when I am back home. Go to someplace else instead if you are a tourist. read more

Ceviche was delicious and the red snapper (locally caught catch of the day) was tender and tasty, and came with a delicious sauce. The mango and coconut cream dessert was amazing and a must have. Great cocktails as well. Service was a bit slow at points, but not enough to be a problem. read more

I ate here for Easter dinner, and I have to say, it was a delightful experience. We had a reservation, so we were seated quickly. Our server was very kind and funny, and the service was quite quick. I ordered a salad to share with the members of my party, and it was delicious. When it was time to order, there were some entrees that looked very appealing, but there were two appetizers that looked even more appetizing, so I ordered two appetizers, rather than one appetizer and an entree. The appetizers I ordered were the chorizo with cream and the ceviche. When they arrived, relatively soon after ordering them, they were delicious, and I highly recommend that you eat here if you come to Tulum. If I return, I will certainly eat here. food: 5 stars service: 4.5 stars cleanliness: 4.5 stars atmosphere: 5 stars employee kindness: 5 stars read more

Terrible - soooo over priced - ordered basic Mexican coffee after dinner drink they charged us $18 EACH COFFEE !!! RIP OFF!!!

Food was great..and service was even better! To start - We had a salad with smoked papaya purée (great), chorizo and potatoes (okay) and for entrees - we had octopus and snapper. The desserts and drinks were also good. Everything was pretty flavorful, great and local, fresh ingredients and we didn't feel heavy afterwards. We also appreciated that while the place was really busy - the food came out quickly and server was attentive. We will definitely come again when visiting Tulum. read more

His spot was really nice. Beautiful atmosphere, amazing service and a very knowledgeable server. Octopus was delicate with a very well balanced salsa verde. The red snapper was cooked perfectly with crispy skin! My only qualm with this spot is that the dishes were lacking a starch or carb. We did get corn tortillas with the main but felt like the dishes were missing a little something. We didn't leave hungry but it wasn't long before we were looking for more food. read more

Visiting Tulum for 4th time I've had plenty of opportunities to try a lot of restaurants both on the strip and in down town, thus had various experiences. Before the unpleasant experience I wanted to mention that the blond hostess was extremely professional with positive attitude and set out of good vibe while arranging our table, thus the extra star. This restaurant is small, few tables arranged in hallway design with unpleasant string lights above, not much of ambiance. At first our waiter flat out said, "no you can't bring your wine here when we asked what the corkage fee was." This was never a problem in any other restaurants when we wanted to open a special bottle of vino... No apologies, no offering a corkage fee option, just flat out NO you can't!.. Unless you opt for a bottle of red around 1200 pesos or up, you have only a choice of 1 house red or slightly more expensive cab from Argentina by the glass. We went for the cab and it was very unimpressive for $190 pesos, barely drinkable. From the limited menu at 8:30pm they were out of one dish. From dessert menu of 4 choices they were out of 1 desert and did not have anything that resembled chocolate, or a cake. We had the chicken and catch of the day entries, both very bland and average, nothing special. My wife left most of her plate untouched. Service by our waiter was slow. At their price point I would expect similar quality as Cenzontle nxt door or many others on the strip. If I'm paying premium price for family meal I expect more than an experience you would get at an average bench serving tacos... I have hard time comprehending 5 star reviews here, unless you are a first-timer to Tulum or haven't experienced anything better... read more

We only came for drinks but wow. Their cocktail making is next level and they were wonderful. Will be back to try the food.

This was the most unexpectedly delicious meal we had in Tulum. We were unsure if we should stay given we were the first to arrive at the restaurant but after trying the chef's appetizer and the ceviche we decided to bite the bullet and stay for the entire meal. We were so glad we did. The roasted beets and catch of the day were both exquisite. The cocktails were also so yummy. We wish we had more days in Tulum to enjoy it once more. The only downside was the heat from the kitchen. The restaurant should invest in some ceiling fans to keep the guests comfortable. Nonetheless I'd highly recommend this place. read more

Mur Mur - Roasted beets and catch of the day - Mexican Near Me - Tulum, ROO

See all

Had the catch of the day which was a "wild" mackerel. Over cooked, overpriced and did not taste great. The handmade tortillas were good, but an hour later; full on food poisoning symptoms with shakes and shivers... not a good situation to say the least. Was the only place we ate since breakfast and I was very careful about the food I ate. Montezuma's revenge would have been better... read more

Incredible meal and cocktails. Appetizers: potaoes & chorizo dish, poached egg tamale. Entrees: beef short rib, roasted squash & caulflower. Everything was amazing (and lots of cool shops behind the restaurant!). Favorite find in Tulum... read more

Amazing atmosphere. Staff was very attentive and offered great recommendations. The food was incredible as were the prices. Will be returning here as much as possible! Highly recommend while in Tulum! read more

We happened upon Mur Mur after attempting to go to Arca. Arca was blowing mosquitos repellant smoke all over and we just felt we couldn't breathe or see and it would disrupt our dinner experience so we just started walking and I'm so glad we found Mur Mur! It was delicious! We weren't that hungry - lots of eating and boozing throughout the day had us looking for something lighter - but what we did have was so yummy. They started with a nice ceviche taster from the chef. Then, we ordered the over roasted beets and the chicken with brussel sprouts and lima beans. Both dishes were perfect. (We kept the sauce on the side of the chicken dish rather than pour it over as they suggested, this way we could control our sauce. I think it was the better choice). Definitely give Mur Mur a try! read more

Some of the best food and tacos I've ever eaten!!! Highly recommend. Great cocktails!

We were really excited to check out Mur Mur but the experience was really poor. From rarely coming over to check on our table at all to serving us an extremely over-cooked fish that wasn't cut properly, the experience was disappointing. Compared to Arca and Test Kitchen, the quality of the food wasn't as good and the lack of care from the service just made the evening a bust. The ambiance of the place is nice but I'd recommend other restaurants in Tulum for sure. read more

We stopped by here after dinner last night to sample an appetizer and have a drink. The plan was that we would scope it out and if it was a good place, we'd come back tonight or another night while we are here. We come down here every year and we love the food at zebra and Arca and a few other places, but we were looking to mix it up, and this place is right across the street from us. Unfortunately the service is a nonstarter. We ordered our drinks, decided to try the potatoes (not very good sort of like covered with lime salt, supposedly chorizo)- the potatoes came, and we waited for the drinks. And waited. And waited. And waited. We went and we asked after the drinks, and the bartender (not apologetic at all) hadn't even started making making the drinks. We sat down and waited. And waited. And waited. We could see her on the phone; we could see her talking to other customers; we could see her talking with other waitstaff. Some friends came up and they all talked together for sometime. And we waited. And waited. And waited. 45 minutes later, after asking three times we received our drinks. They were good drinks but at that point we were tired and wanted to go home. The bill for a small appetizer of potatoes and two drinks was approximately US $50. This was super disappointing because I like the menu and I was really looking forward to eating there not just at another time on this trip but in years to come. But if this is how it is to get a drink here, there's no question that I won't be coming back for dinner. read more

Our pork appetizer was amazing but our mains were less than stellar. As another reviewer here stated, the fish of the day "tasted like a frozen fish from Costco." We should have been put off by the super touristy vibes on this strip but eh, vacation. read more

Friendly staff, delicious, great vibes, and great prices compared to gitano ( which sucks) and hardwood. Highly recommend! We had the octopus and pork. Don't forget the cocktails- they were amazing, and cheaper than gitano. Thank you Mur Mur for a great meal and experience! read more

Excellent food open late. The bartender made a great mescal Manhattan and mescal negroni. We had the grilled octopus, which was a nice big hunk, and I had the pork, which was very juicy and flavorful. A little bit too chic for my taste, with the EDM music, but that's most of the Tulum beach strip. read more

We heard about this place in line for Hartwood and decided to get out of line and try Mur Mur instead. Definitely a good decision! We had an adorable waiter who was really excited about the cocktails, so we got the Mur Mur and something else that was spicy and had a watermelon in it. We got the roasted beets, which were amazing! For entrees we got chicken with brussel sprouts and the catch of the day, which was snapper. For dessert we had the fudge & mamey-- so good! The whole place was really well though out, from the lighting to the cocktails. We actually went back the next night for drinks & dessert. Big bonus here in Tulum-- they take credit cards, though there is a 4% fee. Try this place before you have to start lining up at 2:00 to get in! read more

Hip jungle restaurant with memorable, creative dishes you wont forget. It earned 5 stars, but the wait for our meal (although we were warned) was a little long. That said, we come here every year, and have no regrets. read more
