We went on a Saturday night and it was pleasantly relaxed, which made the whole experience even better. Alex took amazing care of us. He was attentive, kind, and always one step ahead, bringing things before we even had to ask. He also shared great insight about the restaurant and its background, which we really appreciated. The food was as delicious as ever. We always order the grilled octopus and it's a must every time, perfectly tender and full of flavor. This time we also tried a small shrimp ceviche that had a great balance of acidity and spice. We finished with the grilled fish, which was soft, fresh, and really tasty. I skipped the margarita this time, but they are also one of my favorite things to get here. We will definitely keep coming back.

Though this place came recommended, it was our worst food experience on our trip to Tulum…read more Everything I ordered or tasted was pretty awful, the two stars is for the helpful server. The grilled fish tacos were tasteless, the shrimp nachos were covered with cheese that tasted like glue and the shrimp were simply laid on top, no seasoning. And to make matters worse, we can only pay with cash. I went to the cash machine and made a mistake thinking I was getting American $$ but ended up taking out only $17 in pesos which cost $8. I had to do it again and that cost another $8. That aside, the food in this establishment was simply inedible.

It looks really nice inside and feelings like you are in the jungle in the middle of the city. The service was fairly quick but you don't have a lot of options. If you have a picky eaters it might not be a good experience But everyone was nice and I would go back for the atmosphere alone. Price wise, things are fairly priced.

The best food I've had in Tulum two years in a row! Simply amazing!…read more Wow - I thought maybe I just remembered last year through rose-colored glasses - no, this place is magnificent. First, the vibe is basically perfect. Feels exotic, is clean, the staff is fun, and the live music is the finishing touch. Second, without a doubt the best food we had in Tulum during our week there this year, and my week there last year. House Salad - I never knew I needed goat cheese ice cream on a salad but I'm telling you it was AMAZING! My girlfriend had the Octopus in marinade. She gets the Octopus everywhere we go. It was very tasty and not overcooked like is often the case. I had the Catch of the Day, Sea Bass. I have the fish of the day everywhere I go (live in St Petersburg, Florida, so I'm a seafood junky). It was, again, like last year the best fish dinner entree I had in Tulum. That's between about 12 different places I've eaten at in Tulum spanning the poshest hotel zone restaurants to the most reviewed and highly rated places in Centro in town. It was mouth-wateringly good and flawlessly prepared. I highly suggest trying the Mexican Tea cocktail - a refreshing, but not overly sweet, well-balanced drink that I loved and my girlfriend switched to despite it not being anything like what she would normally order. Last - I worked in restaurants starting at 15 through my late 20's including the most upscale place in the entire city. I got good enough to find gigs helping train staff during new openings. The service we received was remarkable, yet causal and fun. Commendable and appreciated.

I've been here multiple times now and each time the service is impeccable. They are welcoming and it's all operated by locals -- no hip looking expats here, all the real deal. And I love that!

I really wish there had been better communication about what was available and a bit more attention to how food was prepared.

Great mixture of flavors! Chocolate ice cream - beautifully presented and some rich chocolate ice cream as well, and another dessert that I forgot. So maybe that one may be just okay LOL * drinks - Miami Nice (passionfruit) and a no name drink that the resto blends into a clear drink, served with a guava block. You take a piece of the guava block and leave it on your tongue, and sip your drink. Very very smooth! Would highly recommend this unknown drink. Michelin starred, reservations highly recommended. Better to come without heels since the flooring is made out of pebbles, dim lighting contributing to the dining experience, and fantastic service.

They have a physical English menu, but would…read morerecommend looking @ the online menu because it has pictures, and more details about each item (what else it comes with). The ceviche and fried fish looked good, although we didn't order. Great complimentary tortilla chips - comes with pico, couple salsas (one spicy, one not), white sauce, limes, and chopped jalapenos (also to be used with your food). Started with fries for the table, which were very crispy, and flaky on the inside. As for entrees, Consensus was the fish tacos (especially diablo) were very tender and tasty. The octopus tacos came with good portions, but pieces of octopus weren't very bite sized (not a problem). Shrimp tacos were very buttery. Got the skirt steak (comes with medium sized enchiladas, small portion of rice and bean), which was also alright - tender but not juicy. Also got the hamburger, which was definitely skippable - seemed like ground chicken. Total for 6 people was about $100 (USD), which was very fair. Friendly and fast service. General consensus is to get seafood items.
