Whole fried fish. It was huge!
Carmen S.

Absolutely LOVED everything at the restaurant. The decor, the ambience, the service and the food were all impeccable. My husband and I shared the whole fried fish which came along with a salad. The combination of the 2 was perfect. We also shared a side of fries and vegetables. The vegetables were SO good! Highly recommend this place for the fish at the very least!

Steak Tacos

So incredibly pleased with this experience, after biking tirelessly along the Tulum coast, I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Not only breath taking views, but delicious food at a great price. 10/10

Grilled octopus
Kunal S.

The place is located in the El Pez hotel, making it s perfect beachside spot for a date or just a casual dinner with friends . The hotel itself is a luxury hotel so expect nothing short of fresh chef made seafood here . We drover here as we were spending some time in Tulum area and the place helped us beat the heat and relax by the ocean with a perfect meal. I got the trip of dips and couple of spicy margaritas to start , the dips were great and were served with freshly made homemaker tortilla chips, however hummus and guacamole were not spectacular. I liked the dips and the presentation but not as awesome as I expected . The margarita was great, a little pricey but then it was happy hour when I ordered so definitely worth the Money! We ordered shrimp tacos and the chargrilled octopus for dinner . Shrimp tacos were way too Americanized and didn't feel ethnic or modern either, rather more of the common fare . So I kinda regretted ordering it. I feel like it doesn't need to be in the menu at this place as it kinda doesn't go with the vibe . The octopus though was brilliant ! Worth the dime, shareable for two . Surprisingly it came with sweet potato fries and mayo??!? I didnt feel that the sides went with the octopus , but as i really liked it I am not complaining , I will take any side with that fresh, juicy, perfectly tender octopus ! Worth the visit . But 4 stars and not 5

Cappuccino

Was this the best food I had in Tulum? No,...but that view. We went to El Pez for breakfast when we were in Tulum on our honeymoon. We had the chilaquiles and the fried quesadilla and some cappuccinos. The chilaquiles were very good (much better than La Zebra), and the quesadilla was delicious. Great cappuccino as well. Good food, great view. I'd go again! (When can I go again?!)

LEGENDARY FRENCH TOAST LIVES HERE! Seriously, incredible breakfast from french toast to hotcakes to chilaquiles. Amazing smoothies, drinks, and on and on and on. Love this place, the service, and the vibes.

No doubt Tulum just makes you believe in heaven but this eatery was like cherry on cake. It couldn't get any better than sitting at the outdoor seating of El Pez sipping a sea pearl and eating their fresh ceviche. The staff is very humble from the moment you walk in. But that's pretty common with all the places in this side of Tulum. But our server wasn't just humble, he was very energetic and helpful. Made great recommendations and each of the cocktail we ordered per his recommendation was 10 on 10. The Sea Pearl and the Never say Never were both very refreshing with the perfect balance of liquor and fresh juices. As mentioned earlier the ceviche was very delicious. You could taste the freshness in each bite. If you order the large it's enough for two people if that'll be your main course. If it's an appetizer it's enough for 3. Of course the best feature is the view. The restaurant faces two big rock formations. One is a little inwards the sea with birds nestled on it while the other is connected to land so you'll see people on it. The rocks with the sea birds and people along with fishermen and waves makes this part of the beach very energetic. Overall it's a great restaurant that you must try at least once you are in Tulum.

Happily found this darling place while driving aimlessly looking for a restaurant on the beach in Tulum. It is a little hotel with a bar and restaurant that is right on the beach, open air. Caribbean, relaxed and quaint. Absolutely wonderful food. The tempura shrimp tacos were some of the best ever. Generous serving of 3 on the plate. Hubby had grilled shrimp which were HUGE and full of fresh flavor. Asked if they could make me a passion fruit margarita and they said sure, even tho it was not on the menu. Amazing, refreshing and made with fresh fruit. The hotel looked super cute. Would definitely recommend and go back if I had the time on this trip!

Perfect beach front seating, food is amazing as well as drinks. Beautifully designed hotel with indoor/outdoor dining with a great bar setting. Very welcoming place and the staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend.

Place was great for drinks, wish we could've came back for dinner but we had other plans. Staff there are pretty fluent in English and they carry many craft beers!

We visited Potheads on Beach Road a few times during our stay in Tulum to grab breakfast before…read moreheading out for activities. If you're on a tight schedule, definitely give yourself extra time. Service can be slow, especially during busy hours, and it can take a while for food to come out. That said, it's a nice spot if you're not in a rush and want to relax. The food was delicious. I had the peanut butter bowl, and the açaí ingredients were fresh and high quality. I just wish I had tried more items. My husband really enjoyed his breakfast burrito and said it was very satisfying. The latte was just okay. They use syrup from a plastic bottle, which I personally didn't love, so I wouldn't recommend coming here specifically for coffee. Tried a tumeric shot instead and that was yummy! One of the best parts is the location. It was super convenient for us since it was about a block from where we were staying at Azulik and within walking distance of everything cute in the area. The upstairs seating is great for people watching, and the overall vibe is very tropical and relaxed. The servers were okay, not especially friendly, but I get that they probably deal with a lot of tourists every day. Overall, it's a good spot for tasty breakfast bowls and burritos in a great location. Just come with patience and skip the latte.
