Star of the night.... Tetela
Jenilyn L.

Pretty view, good cocktails and yummy food. We really enjoyed the Tetela which was on their special menu.

Octopus tostadas
Mel T.

Definitely for tourists since it's located in a hotel and overpriced, but we had no choice because we were staying in a villa nearby with no car, and this was the only food place that was walking distance for us. We came by on a Saturday at around 2:40 and the place was pretty empty (understandable since it's kind of a weird time and everyone is probably at the beach or on some kind of excursion still). I ordered grilled octopus tostadas and it was good. They also give a good amount of octopus but overall, they're still small tostadas. Was it worth 375 MXN (aka almost $20 USD)? I don't think so. They're also really messy to eat. I also ordered a side of esquites (basically elote in a cup) and so did several other people at the table. Nobody liked it. They use those big kernels of Mexican corn (which none of us had ever had before so a little head's up would have been nice especially if the place is catering to tourists. It was soggy, chewy, and bland. You can skip this one. For drinks, I had the Summer juice (watermelon, strawberries, mandarin), which was nice and refreshing. Overall, I'd only recommend going here out of convenience but if you have a choice, I'm sure there are better places in Tulum.

Beautiful picturesque view of the ocean is what your eyes will see when you dine here. It's views are incredible! The service is excellent and the food exceptionally good! We stayed here three nights and I didn't want to leave. I highly recommend the hotel and restaurant!

Fried Chicken Sandwhich

My friends and I were looking for a place to have a cute little brunch while in Tulum and Mi Amor kept coming up all over our TikTok's. We decided to give it a try and the overall aesthetics and food did not disappoint. Mi Amor is located in a national park, so when coming via taxi/private driver your vehicle will be searched and you will have to pay about $3 USD. When we arrived, we were seated quickly at a table next to the pool. Overall the pool looked pretty nice -- although it was filled with leaves (but I blame that more on being surrounded by trees blowing in the vibe than being dirty/uncared for). Our waiter, German, came to take our drink order quickly -- then we didn't see him again for a solid 30 minutes. When came back in 30 minutes to take our food order....we DID NOT even have our drinks yet. When we asked him the status on our drinks, it became very apparent that he did not put in the drink orders -- so we waited about another 15 minutes then each drink slowly started coming out 1 by 1. We put in our food order and the food also took a VERY long time to be come out. However, the food was AMAZING. Definitely very good. Now where our experience really took a turn and where things went down hill, is when it came time to pay. When German brought over our bill, which was just a little over $300 USD, he handed me the bill and then said "People normally tip me 15%". I said okay, I can add a tip onto my card and he said "No, only tip in cash". First and foremost, you went missing for 30+ minutes, forgot to put our drinks in, and now your telling me how much to tip you and only in cash when the receipt clearly allows for card tips?! Needless to say, my friends and I decided we would tip about $30 USD which was 10% of the bill. German came back, looked at the $30 then looked at the bill and said, "This is it? This is only 8%". We informed him it was actually 10% and then he began to argue back and forth with us on the tip before rolling his eyes and walking away. I've NEVER experienced anyone as ungrateful. At that moment I wanted to take back my tip completely. It was so rude. Not to mention one of my friends gave him an extra $5 after all of that and he snatched it out her hand and did not even say thank you. Truly insane.

There's a lot of great spots in town with great food and service, but most places we've been to in Tulum feel like a rip off. This is one of the great ones. Beautiful restaurant, great service, and amazing food. Highly recommend especially if you're staying on this side of town!

Cucumber salad
Elizabeth R.

A beautiful location overlooking the cliffs of the ocean. Trendy, upscale + boho vibe. Food was incredible! We had the cucumber salad, steak + frites, and curry prawns followed by chocolate torte and cocktails.

Due to traffic we wanted to try something close to us. So we walked here base on Yelp reviews. Nice hotel. Friendly people. Restaurants we ordered aricini and short rib croquettes. They both looked similar when arrived.pretty good tho. Better with garlic dipping sauce. The beet salad was delicious not overpowering with dressing. We also orders shrimp tagliatelle and fried fish. The shrimp past fish was good. The past not overcooked however the shrimp were so tiny. The fish was just a small fillet. I was hoping at least it'll be whole fish if not entire filet. But cooked well not fishy not chewy. Good combination of crunch and savory.

Mushroom dumpling
Chasity M.

While exploring Tulum on bikes we stopped by Mi Amor for a quick lunch. We were blown away by the flavors in each dish. I recommend trying the Steak Tostadas and Herb Caesar salad. We also tried the mushroom and chicken dumplings which were to die for (special menu item). The ambiance overlooking the sea made this the perfect spot for a date. If you're looking for a meal that will excite your tastebuds, look no further!

Burger
Harrison K.

Solid food but a little pricey as expected. Not as many options as you would think on the menu. The babaganoush was creative and tasty with a fun crunch from the rice crispies. The burger was solid but not overwhelmingly great. Nice to be close to the water and have a view of the gulf!

Green Bowl

The food is delicious and well presented. Both healthy and decadent options. We ate here several times while staying at the hotel.

View

The view was pretty and food was 7/10 but it was way too expensive to even justify ever going back. For a bowl of fruit, Chilaquiles, 3 mimosas we paid almost $140 dollars. Plus the taxis leaving there tax.

Mandarin cheesecake
Mike Z.

The restaurant is perched over the edge of the sea. You may sit inside and still feel outdoors or, as a guest, you may eat in the cabanas. The meal is sure to be excellent. It is prepared by one of the best chefs in Quintana Roo.

Outside deck.
Gwendolyn L.

This place surpassed my expectations. I stopped by just to have lunch & wasn't expecting SO much. The service was amazing, beautiful view right on the water, and the restaurant is beautifully designed overall. We ordered the shrimp as an appetizer & it was AMAZING! I also ordered the burger for myself, which came with the BEST fries I have ever had in my life. Definitely a gem & will be back here.

Mandarin cheesecake - very unique!

Lara & Luca - Chicken and waffles

We went to brunch at Lara & Luca. Very cute place with easy parking in the front, a guide is there…read moreto help you park, which is nice! Walking in, they're very welcoming! The restaurant is clean and very modern. The ceiling is cute! They have egg cartons as their ceiling! I was surprised that I couldn't just got hot black coffee, so I ordered a latte, wasn't disappointed! They even designed a heart at the top! We shared an almond croissant and they gave out passionfruit yogurt with a crunchy topping - these two things were my favorite of the meal. We are even talking about going back tomorrow just to get these two things! We also shared the Luca sandwich - this was delicious!! The sandwich has ham, cream cheese, mushrooms, and truffle oil, and topped with an egg. So delicious! There was a salad on the side that had some type of vinaigrette on it. The only complaint was that the vinaigrette was soaked up in the bottom piece of bread which made those bites a little busy when all in one bite. If I ever get a chance to order this again, I'd ask for the dressing on the side. We also got the chicken and waffles. This is the only thing we were disappointed with, not disappointed enough to mark the rest of the experience down though. The chicken was pretty good, but some bites were really salty. The waffle was so dry, even with adding the syrup, it didn't help with the waffle much. Overall, we loved this place! So glad we got to eat here! And the service was wonderful throughout the whole meal!

Trendy food spot near Playa Car that's worth a visit…read more Stopped by this place after seeing how good the food looked coming out of the kitchen--beautifully plated, fresh, and clearly made with care. The vibe is casual yet modern, with a trendy beach-town feel that fits the Playa Car scene perfectly. I ordered the croquette sandwich with an egg, and it absolutely delivered. The croquette was crispy on the outside, soft and savory inside, and the egg added a nice richness. What really elevated the whole dish, though, was the aioli--creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor. It tied everything together beautifully. Honestly, they should bottle that stuff. A nice surprise was the complimentary yogurt with grains that came out before the meal. It was a thoughtful touch--light, subtly sweet, and a great palate teaser before the main dish arrived. It gave the whole experience a more refined feel without being pretentious. Service-wise, it was minimal but efficient. The waitress was polite but a bit dry--no real recommendations or extra engagement--but everything arrived promptly and correctly, so no complaints there. All in all, it's a spot I'd happily return to. The food is excellent, the vibe is chill, and little touches like the complimentary yogurt show they're paying attention. Definitely a solid find near Playa Car.

We messaged her on facebook and she messaged us back right away and got us in the next night for dinner. My bf informed her that I eat gluten free and dairy free and she had no problem accommodating that. The food was fantastic! The dishes are small and can be different if you are a picky eater but were all delicious and well done. We had cold carrot soup and I was sure I was going to hate it, but it was delicious!! Lolo is an amazing chef! She creates a different set of dishes to serve every night. She also has an amazing personality and incredible stories! It was about a 40 pesos cab right from central street to Lolo's house. Please note this is not a typical restaurant, this is her actual residence and makes it that much more special. You walk through her kitchen and are seated in the back in a romantic garden setting. Its community seating style so we had 6 other people there. The whole meal we had great conversation. Even though it is community style and there were other people my boyfriend and I still felt like we had a romantic meal out. Lolo does have cats that walk around back there so if you're allergic be aware. Cats do not bother us so it was not a problem. You can bring your own bottle of wine and Lolo's staff serves you it periodically throughout your meal and will keep it cold in the fridge. Her waitresses were so professional and nice I was in shock. This is definitely an experience and I highly recommend doing it!! We will be back.
