Support the locals Vegan place making Mexican specialties.. thats rare Black beans / plantain app was good - beans a little cold Side of rice was not red rice bummer The poblano and elote tamale was fantastic : not dry and tasty The ginger fruit smoothie was SO good Hole in the wall If its after dark, you can barely see what you are eating if you sit in garden Garden in back is cute Owner was super nice
I loved this place ! Tamales are so flavorful and one point, my favorite were bean and lentil and they all came with three sauces that were oh so delicious and all vegan. The staff was super sweet and nice, chatted with us about the different tamales and spices that were used in each. Big garden in the back with a hammock. CASH ONLY
Established by cousins in 2015, Suculenta Tamalería is celebrated locally for its entirely Vegan menu, but even those more accustomed to Masa wrapped around Chicken or Pork will find a lot to like about the scratch-made fare prepared in this bare-bones place. Open from 9:00am daily in downtown Tulum, just two women in a kitchen fronting their own courtyard garden, guests arriving early are given an opportunity to watch the pair carefully fold six types of daily Tamales while Soups bubble on a stove adjacent refrigerators packed with Vegetables. Hailing from CDMX, but at Suculenta preparing Tamales Oaxaqueños featuring local Mayan ingredients, deciding on one "best" option is an undeniably daunting task, though the mix of bitter Mole and sweet Plantains juxtaposing Mushrooms and a Tamale studded with soft Lentils are pretty tough to beat. Priced at 50 pesos each, with most diners likely sated by two, be sure to ask for Salsa if spiciness is desired, and for those seeking a sweet finish the 40 peso Loaf of Carrot Cake packs a lot of complexity and moisture despite its lack of Frosting.
Tamales were on my must have list for my recent trip to Mexico. We stumbled upon this place one day randomly and I was so happy! We didn't seek out a vegan restaurant but we're pleasantly surprised at how much we loved this. Everything was fresh and delicious. Literally loved everything we had and didn't feel guilty after eating it! The plain twins with black bean purée dish was a favorite of the group too. The salsas that came with the tamales were also delicious. Great chili oil. Also the prices are incredibly reasonable. The ambiance is so chill and beautiful. Highly recommend.
delicioso! One of the best places for vegetarians and vegan to eat in Tulum! The staff are knowledgeable and kind! It is definitely a hidden gem! Suculenta Tamaleria is not only able to accommodate my dietary needs but also exceeded my expectations! The tortilla for taco and sope are still hand made! Each costs around 30-40 pesos! The amazingly delicious tacos are stuffed with meaty Smokey oyster mushrooms, black bean topped and pickled radish; and sometimes avocado. The tamales are even better! My favourite is mixed beans with poblano peppers! It is around 50 pesos! It was so great that I stayed in Tulum for a little longer before leaving for my flight to buy them fresh to take home! They are the perfect little parcels to take to the airport! If you are ever in Tulum, this is the place to be!
OMG vegan tamales! And they were so good! Talk about hitting the spot. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the tamales so take your pick. Strongly suggest more than 1. We also had the enchiladas. All very good. As we were leaving we saw someone's salad and I wish I weren't stuffed at that point because that looked so good too! Tip: if you think there isn't any seating then be sure venture to the back. There is a nice garden area for sitting.
Highly recommend this spot! Take it from a non vegan/vegetarian the food here is so flavorful. Presentation is wonderful. Authentic traditional mexican recipes. The garden is cute and comfy. I could easily change to vegan or vegetarian with their menu. Everyone is so sweet but kudos to the chefs we had the tamales, mole, pancakes, cacao drink and green juice. They also gave us fresh salsa with chopped red onions for extra flavor. You can find it on google maps, it is centrally located off the main Blvd.
This place has to be the most authentic Mexican vegan place in Tulum! Suculenta is inexpensive, authentic eating at its finest. The kitchen is surprisingly open and inviting. All items are made to order. Some of the must-haves are: The pozole, tamales, and taco trio. The pozole is the closest you'll get to regular pozole. Same flavor different replacements! The staff is so friendly and we talked for several minutes about the food and how it's made. We were very surprised to find our bill came out to $425 pesos (around $25 dollars) and we ordered 5-6 dishes + two lattes and desserts. This is a spot you cannot miss if you're vegan and want to try authentic Mexican dishes in Tulum.
A small café that serves vegan Mexican food in the central area of Tulum. It's slightly off the beaten path on one of the side streets, but it's not hard to find. I'm not even vegan, but I was really excited to come to this place because I really wanted to try some of their tamales or a tamal (saving stomach room because I had so many places I wanted to eat at). The people here couldn't have been any sweeter and I love that when you walk through the restaurant to get to the beautiful backyard dining area, you're pretty much walking through the kitchen and seeing that the food looks like it's homemade and fresh. To have a complete meal where I felt like I was eating clean, I ordered the green juice along with my papadzul tamal. The description for this tamal was - traditional pre-Hispanic Mayan salsa made with roasted pumpkin seeds, amaranth, tomato, and habanero. Now I had a lot of tamales in my time, but I wanted to try something that felt really local and this sounded perfect to me. They brought out my food with some sauces on the side - a tomato salsa that was not spicy, some pickled onions with habanero, and some habanero smoke infused olive oil. I really loved the food here specially with that style of tamal wrapped in banana leaf. And sitting in such a beautiful setting as well. I can't recommend this place enough and I would love to come back and try some of their other tamales. read more

Tulum Centro's hidden gem! I am a big time carnivore however this place really hits the spot! The food is vegetarian but without any meat substitutes. The mushroom tacos are a must. They are savory and pack so much flavor. The tamales have a traditional taste and they offer several options. The cacao drink is so thick and rich! Service was top! He gave us great recommendations for the food and where to buy some tulum souvenirs. Aesthetics are so good once you go inside to the outdoor seating area . read more

The best meal I had in Tulum!! Omg the best vegan tamales ever- almost as good as my moms! We ordered the beans, lentils, mole and the Mayan veggie one (forgot the name). The tamales were so moist, flavorful and the perfect combination of masa and fillings. Hot sauce and red onions are provided as toppings. We also ordered ice coffees and carrot cake. Yum yum yum!! read more

Muy Perfecto!!! BEST TAMALES EVER!! Vegan tamales!! If you don't know what a tamale is you must eat here! The owner is amazing. Support this local business. The environment is super clean and cozy. If you think you know what a tamale is you don't unless you've eaten here!! This was the best lunch on our trip. The bean tamale was just ok. But the other tamales were so amazing!! Incredible! When you put all the cute toppings on top it really perfects the flavors. read more

Very dependable for vegans. There are enough options to come back for something different. The service is great. It was definitely one of my main go-to's for food, especially since the prices are also reasonable, for me. We always loved the backyard ambience. They have WiFi also. read more

This place is a hidden gem! We always stop here when we are in town, and are never disappointed. Vegan or not, the tamales are fantastic. We always try a few of the flavors, and it is hard to pick a favorite. The outdoor seating area is quaint and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Another amazing meal (breakfast) at Suculenta Tamalería! read more

A super special little spot with simple, tasteful, sweet ambiance. It smells so good when you walk in and the big pots steaming the tamales are right there. There's a really lovely garden out back. The very friendly people running the place seem totally dedicated to green practices and simplicity- doing a few things very well. As vegans, foodies, ecotourists and secret-spot-seekers we were delighted! read more
