We ordered some guac and chips and ceviche for the table. Ceviche was fresh and tasty. For entrees I ordered the seafood stew which was delicious. A lot of seafood.

One of the few restaurants that had a range of desserts. They had chocolate cake, flan and tres leches. The flan was the best by far. The carafe of margaritas were pretty large. Our server was very friendly and accommodating.

They now have a beautiful space on the west side of the the highway about half way from Akumal to Tulum. The restaurant is clean and open. They a a nice garden area courtyard as well. The staff is attentive and efficient. Virginia the hostess was absolutely amazing and friendly. Her family has owned the business for decades. Our waiter was Alfredo who was excellent. All the food was well prepared and presented nicely. Everything we had was delicious. It's definitely aimed a bit more for the North American palette but this does not mean it wasn't really good because it was. Cocktails were made with fresh fruit juices and were top notch. I highly recommend Oscar & Lalo to anyone who is staying in the area or passing by to or from Tulum.

Delicious food with an unbeatable view!…read more We were told about this place by a cab driver at Tulum. As we drove to the location, we started to worry that we misunderstood as we passed behind beautiful villas on an unnamed road. But as you reach the end of the road, the beach is on your left and the make-shift kitchen. You pick a table on the shore. You pick out the fresh whole fish that will be your meal. Couple of beers. Amazing ceviche. Swing in the hammock. Life is good here! Keep in mind that they close at 5, maybe earlier if they've run out and they only accept cash (pesos). Worth the trip off the beaten path!

As you walk in from the street you can see and smell them making fresh chips on the right side. On the left, there's a stack of coconuts waiting to be chopped and served! Lunch was right off the beach! There's some table where you just find a seat to sit at and they'll come to you with menus. --Coconut Drinks (5/5) - So fresh, refreshing, and cold! So good I had 2 for myself! No straws, save the turtles! You can either pour into a cup or pick the whole coconut up and drink from it. If you want the coconut meat, just ask and they'll cut it open for you! Slices of coconut meat on a plate, topped with chamoya or tahin (not sure which one it was) and lime! --Ceviche Chamicos (4.5/5) - Everything is made per order. It was really fresh but the downside for me was that it was warm and the shrimp poop was still in the shrimp. The ceviche included shrimp, octopus, and fish. Had lots of great flavors, surprisingly a very big plate, but it was 300 pesos so that makes sense. Wish they served smaller portions.

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.

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.
