Absolutely worth your time! I would have given 5 stars but our friend got the volcano tower and the sauce was a bit overwhelming (soy). The fish was fresh, some of the best weve had. The aguachile was spectacularly delicious! This is easily a 5 star dish. The marlin tacos were also yummy. Service was 5 star too! Drinks were delicious and only $100 pesos for a margaritas, monitor, etc. Highly recommend. read more

Great service, and delicious food. The aguachile is a BIG plate of probably like 12-18 shrimp butterflied open and cooked in lime (see pic) They asked if I wanted regular or spicy, I opted for spicy so my aguachile camarones were topped with fresh jalapeños and a tasty chile sauce. Their menu has no photos but their wall does and spoiler alert: ALL of it looks delicious. I ordered the aguachile and the fried marlin tacos and my spouse got the taco del gobernador with camarones (though this was more like a quesadilla than a taco it was good). They also have like 5 sauces (3 of which are mayo based but if you're on vacation who cares???) These sauces vary from sweet to spicy and I would recommend them all as they tend to leave the food ready for a sauce if you know what I mean (read: needs sauce, but clearly they are proud of their sauces) I would go back and even fight for a table if I had to. This place was exactly what I wanted and needed. You still reading? GO ALREADY!!! read more

Tasty fish thingees, sort of tostadas with piles of ceviche on top. I had something like this years ago in Playa del Carmen, and this is similar... (but, believe it or not, less attractively plated). They had towers of ceviche that were fun, but I found the gray slimy ceviche shrimp undercooked and creepy. How's that for a sophisticated review? read more

We came here for lunch after a long day at the cenotes. It's in the city area so stay safe! The fried cheese shrimp tacos were amazing. The ceviche fell short for us. Our server wasn't very friendly. The upstairs was cool though! read more

We were looking for something laid back after a trip to the ruins. This place was perfect, and who doesn't love a restaurant that brings out a condiment caddy? Not only was the food amazing on its own, the staff was great at pointing out sauces to bring out the flavor in the dish. Cannot recommend enough. Seriously better than some of the $$$ places we've eaten at in Tulum. read more

Food was awful the waiter has an attitude plus they got the bill wrong and told me they charge 25% Service fee on top of the bill and Did Not gave me my $21 chage they kept it as a tip Please Avoid read more

Wow, the best we've had in town yet! The tuna sashimi was to die for and I had the torre de tambora which was excellent. It was a stack of marinated shrimp, tuna, octopus, and cooked shrimp. Others had tuna tostadas, marlin tacos, marlin burrito, and fish tacos. Quite inexpensive little place. read more

The customer service excellent. The juices were good too. read more

Came here twice during our week-long stay in Tulum. Both times were great! Highly recommend the shrimp tacos and the tostadas

Been there twice and wont be back! Absolutely NO SOCIAL DISTANCING. They have a very narrow seating area with 5 or 6 tables and fill every single one they also do not enforce masks rules. So dissapointing read more

What makes this place amazing is the price, the freshness, delicousness and unpretentious local spot that this is. We stopped by here for a local seafood ceviche, seafood tower, and grilled fish entree. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for local seafood and want to enjoy what the city has to offer read more

Amazing, I ate here 3 different times while being in Tulum and every time I went I was so happy with my food. Everything is fresh and there's a wide variety of seafood. If you like salsas this is a place that knows how to make them! read more

Sabor de Mar - The food is freshly made to order. These fish tacos and shrimp cocktails were my favorite! - Seafood Near Me - Tulum, ROO

This was by far our favorite meal in Tulum. Unfortunately we are here the last night or we would have come back multiple times. We had the coconut shrimp and ordered more we loved it so much. Also could not get enough of the Uber fresh volcano tower. It was recommended by another patron who had been back three nights in a row for it. Total gem out of the trendy over priced restaurants of tulum. Run! read more

Excellent seafood in downtown Tulum. We tasted so many things and were impressed! My husband said it's the best coconut shrimp he's EVER had (which is impressive). The tower was great and the ceviche to die for! Make it a stop!! read more

This is perfect place for fresh tuna and shrimp dishes. Simple diner type place, meals around 150-220 pesos. Pricing is like regular conventional restaurant in Mexico, but seafood quality is better than conventional restaurant. So regular diner type, no alcohol environment is not an issue since reason to be in this place is exceptional seafood. I especially liked seared tuna. read more

Excellent place for fresh seafood, ceviche and the coconut shrimp - oh my word. We had the Volcanic Tower thing which had super fresh seafood and a delish, tangy citrus sauce. Delish. And the coconut shrimp paired with the most amazing mango sauce. Everything was delish. Had we found this before the day we left, we would have gone again and again. They had street entertainers that were pretty impressive too. A bit of a hole in the wall but so well done. An absolute MUST!! read more

The best seafood and margaritas that we had our whole tulum trip! Service can be a little slow when it's busy but it's worth the wait. Dinner was so good we went for a second time. The fried marlin tacos were my favorite read more

Just returned from a two-week trip to the Yucatan, and this was the site of our last meal there. Don't let looks deceive you - the hole-in-the-wall appearance is great camouflage for a wonderful little seafood restaurant. We arrived around 5:30 pm (we were pretty hungry, and I was coming off almost four days of not eating due to travelers' tummy) and were seated immediately. The owner who surprised us with his impeccable English explained that his father-in-law is a fisherman on the other side of the peninsula and ships all the fish directly. First arrived a few yummy corn tortillas to enjoy with a variety of sauces. Then we had our marlin burritos - excellent fish, great seasoning, and very filling. We had hoped to return there the following night, but because of an impending snowstorm back home, had to cut our stay short by one day. :-( But we want to go back to Tulum and enjoy more yummy food here. read more

Cute little place in Tulum. Fast service and good food. I got the grilled fish and it came with a salad and rice. It was a good amount of food and very tasty! They have pictures hanging of the different items on the menu, so you really know what you're ordering. read more

We were passing through on our way back from Muyil so we made a stop at Sabor de Mar. It is a little difficult to find but for sure worth it. The food was absolutely delicious and the best part was the different sauces they have... my favorite was tamarindo-chipotle. I tried the tuna ceviche tower and the Marlin Gobernador (Quesadilla). my girlfriend tried the shrimp tacos and the Shrimp Gobernador. The prices are incredibly affordable for the quality of the food... If I am in the area again I will go again. read more

The Tambora tower is soooo good! It's the best Mexican dish I've ever had, better than similar dishes in the fancy restaurants I've been to in Cancun! The most amazing part is, I wasn't even hungry when I was having it - I had a drink and some food at a bar nearby already, and was 65% full - yet, it's still the best thing I've had! read more

Delicious fresh food at affordable prices. Our favorites were the shrimp and fish tacos (~30 pesos each). We also tried the marlin tinga tostada, which was very flavorful, the aguachile tostada, and the tuna tartare. Everything was fresh and tasty. Our server was very friendly and checked on is frequently. They also have a variety of sauces to try! I would highly recommend. read more

Ordered shrimp ceviche, marino burrito and shrimp burrito, and shrimp and fish tacos. There were 4 of us. None of us did finished our food. Everything tasted the same and really not good. Not sure how they have 5 star ratings but it's gross. Eat somewhere else. Also, they put two totals. One with their "suggested " total. Please don't fall for that. Our server tacked on an extra $130 pesos on our bill. Tip what you want. Don't fall for the second total. read more

Seriosuly the best food EVER! Beautiful presentation, great taste, and friendly staff. If you're in the area you have to try it! read more

I hope your experience is better than mine. My wife and I came here because we read good reviews online. The food didn't taste bad, but I've definitely had better elsewhere in Tulum. The service wasn't bad at first, but the waiter took around 10 minutes to bring the check, even though there were only two tables in the restaurant. He also sneakily added an unlabeled ~15% gratuity without telling me, even though it is customary to tip 10% in Mexico, and more if the service is exceptional. I'm pretty sure he added money to other guests' checks as well. Had the waiter only brought the check in a reasonable amount of time, I may have tipped the amount he wanted. The next morning, I got awful diarrhea and painful stomach cramps. I was on the toilet for hours. My wife also got sick later that day, but not to the same extent. The ceviche was clearly the culprit because I ate about twice as much of it as she did. We know not to drink tap water, and were cautious not to do anything that could cause us to get sick. A few days later, my stomach has not fully recovered. I would not go back, and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. You can easily find food in Tulum that is much cheaper, way tastier, and won't make you sick. read more

DELICIOUS. My boyfriend and I were staying by the beach and decided to grab dinner in town. We saw great reviews for this place on Trip Advisor/Yelp so decided to give it a try. Sabor de Mar ended up being some of the best/most impressive food we had in Mexico. If you're reading this -- you should just go. You won't be disappointed. We ordered the fish tacos, the shrimp tacos, the shrimp ceviche and one of the tuna towers. Everything was incredible and super fresh. The shrimp ceviche was my favorite, but everything (and every sauce!) was amazing. Great relaxed vibe and super reasonable prices paired with great customer service :) Will definitely be returning here when I venture back to Tulum. :) read more

Really cool little taco spot that is entirely seafood. Very tasty and super cool staff!

Great fresh fish and food for a great local price. Amazing deal and loved the Volcanic Tower.

People are nice here and helpful. The food was good, we had whole fried fish and grilled fish fillet total $25. The place is super local so you should not expect a fancy experience! I took 1 star due to the closeness of tables which made me uncomfortable with covid read more
