They were closed when I visited in May, not sure about the current status but the location is great.

This place is amazing , the ambiance is incredible, the service is even better and the food…read more...takes the top prize! Bone marrow is a must Tip, book the drink tasting experience.

During our travels to Tulum we decided to check out all of the major fine-dining establishments and…read moreARCA was one of the top-recommended options we received. Sitting next to Hartwood (another excellent establishment) in the busy downtown section of Tulum's hotel zone the restaurant is a beautiful indoor / outdoor set-up with plenty of space, seats and airy aesthetics. Like many similar restaurants they incorporate lots of wood elements and despite the high number of mosquitoes and bugs they try their best to deal with the swarms of insects by spraying incense and adding fans. In October, during the low and rainy season, it was quite empty (only 3-4 other tables besides us) though the stifling heat and humidity, was probably a large driver of that. They offer three seatings at 5:30, 7:00 (maybe 7:30?) and 9:00PM so we chose the earlier one while it was still bright. The food is creative, delicious and small portions (as you'd expect from a fine-dining establishment) and I appreciate that they offer to add or split items depending on your party's needs. For example, one of our members is a vegetarian so they offered to make one of the crab tacos (they come in pairs of two) vegan for us and at a lower rate. My personal favorite item was the crab esquite, which was like a mix of a corn salad and crab meat which was both filling and delicious. Other items like the crudo were fun and tasty, though portions were very small. Our waiter recommended that we each order at least 2 dishes (we ended up with ~9) for a proper meal as it's tapas-style. Towards the end of the meal as it was getting dark all of the power shut off. Unfortunately it seems like it's a somewhat regular occurrence; while at first I was understanding given the area seemed to have been impacted we noticed that all of the other restaurants seemed to have power and it was just ARCA that was without. It made going to the bathroom challenging given the pitch-black nature of the jungle around 8PM and the candles weren't enough to see much. Their backup generator also seemed to go out multiple times so I hope they improve their infrastructure going forward.
