Really excellent food, and calm beautiful ambiance…read more We ordered the hummus dip, the salmon platter and the chicken kabob. All of these dishes were so good! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the couscous was buttery delicious. The chicken was so tender it was almost like fish. I would have loved a glass of wine but they only served bottles, so we stuck with water. There are a few limited cocktails, but when the food is this good, it didn't hurt to save the space for all of the delicious food.

This was our first dive into the incredibly instagrammable world of Tulum beach bars. We had our…read moreminds blown. On our first day in Tulum we were wandering up the beach strip looking for a nice afternoon cocktail, and we didn't want to fight the hoards of beach fams at the hotel bars. Don't get me wrong, we are tourists and do not, by any stretch of the imagination, pretend otherwise-- but still, we wanted to get away from the mobs. Loyal Order isn't super well advertised from the street and you definitely might miss it if you do not know what you're looking for. You walk directly into the sand and up through the tropical trees and bushes that grow along the dunes. Small intimate tables and scattered through the premise. Everything is naturally beautiful. If you keep walking, you will come out to the beach and ocean (obviously...) and they have a few couches and spots set up closer to the water. The bar and kitchen itself melt away into teh sand and the brush. There was almost no one else there when we stopped by around 4:30pm et on a Sunday in March. We got two delicious cocktails- they were refreshing and beautiful. The prices were fairly high (around 10 USD). We didn't scoff at the high prices though because we were so in love with where we were. I would come back here any day of the week, month or year. I wish I was there right now.

The whole atmosphere is unforgettable. Drinks were made with fresh juice and served just right. Grilled octopus appetizer, manti, and lamb were all delicious. We would have done the tasting menu but it's pesos only and we didn't carry enough. You can pay USD cash at a conversion rate only slightly worse than ATM. There were some bugs/mosquitos but your on a beach near a jungle so that's is expected.

Wow, what an experience! Taboo is a destination for dinner, a party, the beach, they have it all…read more We came for a large dinner party to celebrate a 40th birthday. The service was excellent- they were very enthusiastic and entertaining, bringing out countless celebratory shots and sparklers. Speaking of entertainment, there were fire dancers and a flutist and they insisted that we stand on our chairs to dance! I've never been to a restaurant like this before but I loved every minute. We were so distracted by the entertainment that we didn't realize how long it took for the food to arrive. The wait time was understandable due to our party size. I had the seafood spaghetti, which was just ok. I was expecting the sauce to be lighter and but it was a bit thick. It was well seasoned, maybe just a little too much salt. I still enjoyed it. The serving sizes were huge for most of the dishes and defining sharable but everyone had their own entree. I'd highly recommend this place for date night or a celebratory dinner. I'd love to come back and check out the beach club.

A new Turkish place in Playa Del Carmen!…read more I saw this place when someone posted it on FB, and I knew I had to try it. Turkish food is some of my favorite, if not my favorite, in the world. The place is cute with upstairs and downstairs seating. We met Dennis who was super nice and welcoming. I knew not to expect too much, as once you've eaten food in the country of origin, it's hard to be authentic in a different county, just because of the logistics of trying to get the same ingredients. We ordered the dip appetizer and the grilled sampler platter for two. The appetizer was really good. They serve it with garlic bread instead of pita bread, I'm sure because of the difficulty of obtaining the naan. The eggplant was my favorite and the hummus was good. The yogurt dip was good, but a little sweeter than I am used to. The grilled sampler for 2 people could feed 3 or 4! The first thing I tried was the lamb chop. It was to die for!!!!! Then I sampled the 3 other meats and 2 types of chicken. Everything was tasty, but oh that lamb chop. I was very impressed that the chicken was not dry at all and in fact, super moist. The rice and veggies were good too. Then of course they follow up the meal with a Turkish coffee or a tea. I saw someone order the Turkish breakfast, so I will be back to try that next. Don't expect the exact same flavors as Turkey; however, for being in Mexico, I was extremely happy with the food and the service.

I sat with a group of 6ppl and the server recommended their family style menu so they served us all the selected popular items of their choosing. It worked out great. Their hummus and other spreads tasted delicious and their bread was so good too. There's this flat bread with cheese in the middle kinda pizza-looking dish. I didn't take a pic and I forgot the name, but it was my favorite dipped with their toum. Highly recommend, would definitely like to visit again!!

They mix it table side. Yum! They have vegetarian options but the meats are stars. Lamb meatballs and pork shoulder similar to Mom's Sunday roast shine. Sides include rice with lentils, spinach and other good options. Dessert is also good with a great, light baklava and velvety pistachio gelato. Finally, if you're into it, try the hookah options. Enjoy!

The pork was a little bit tougher than I prefer, but did have a strong char and smokiness that help make up for that. Unfortunately the pork blend included onions that had an off-putting taste that I commonly experience in store bought frozen pre-chopped onions. This didn't destroy the entire experience, but it diminished its quality.

Just as I was about to give up and cave, some locals introduced me to Yomiii. The food is absolutely delicious. I had the tamarind tea and the veggie pita.

I even had the opportunity to connect with the staff and one of the owners and they were lovely.

They do put a Mexican twist on it, serving it with avocado and cheese, but I'm not mad. The owner also gave me a small little platter of Hummus & Toum (amazing Lebanese garlic aioli) on the house. The Lebanese coffee is nice and strong and wakes you up quick. I also see Kafta Kebab & tacos arabes on the menu which I will have to get next time.

I should have taken that as a hint to leave but I ordered grape leaves anyways. They weren't horrible but they definitely were the worst I've ever had. I asked the owner/waiter what the white sauce was and he said it's yogurt. I asked what kind of yogurt it was cuz it tasted weird to me. He said someone makes it fresh. I asked if he was sure it hadn't spoiled. He got offended stormed off to the kitchen and brought out a container of yogurt and said, "we make it fresh it's my family ancient recipe". I felt like crying. I couldn't enjoy my meal at all. It was one of my worst experiences ever. Now I know why in the 15 years I've lived here this run down restaurant has never blossomed into more than it is. Someone with such horrible customer service should not have a restaurant and deal with customers. Guess they are too cheap to hire a waiter who knows how to treat customers.
