Amazing, fast, simple tacos & Mexican food! The chilaquiles tasted so authentic very similar to what im used to like back home in Cali. I got the green sauce it was tangy with a lil spice and they add toppings like crema onion culantro and eggs or meat. One of the better chilaquiles I had here in Tulum!
Alright now yall, this placed was highly recommended to me by locals and peers. This is my second time visiting Tulum! I ordered two cochinita pibil tacos (pork shoulder), arrachera (skirt steak), and bistec (shredded beef). First off, the service here is genuinely on point! You are greeted, seated, and your order is taken. It is vibrant and busy inside, but they still strive to provide each patron with a phenomenal experience. This was evident, as I watched the way they navigated each table making sure that the needs of all patrons were met. My tacos came out promptly, and I was also provided with salsas and onions, yummy! I doused the tacos with the toppings! When I took the first bite of the cochinita pibil tacos, wow!!! Okay, it was like pure love and harmony! These tacos took my taste buds on an adventure. An adventure to flavor-town! Let me get onto the rest of the tacos, otherwise i'll be reflecting all day! The arrachera was so hearty and tasty, it had me feeling grounded and also grateful for the vibrant flavors. The bistec gave me Northern Mexican vibes, and made me appreciate good food with the vibrant seasonings and abundant flavor! This experience was delicious and peaceful. The staff is phenomenal, the food is phenomenal, thank you Taqueria Honorario! Yall have no idea the level of magic that you are cooking up!
Bomb!!! Our wonderful travel guide Ruben from local travel mexico brought us here(wonderful guide and company!) . He ordered us two different pork dishes and they were fantastic. Home made tortillas with different salsas. I almost took the tortillas home with me they were so good. It was a Mexican Mayan mix dishes and it was fantastic. Hole in the wall place but Dang good!
Hands down the best chilaquiles I've ever had, and maybe my favorite thing I ate on my vacation. I had the chicken + egg chilaquiles with red and green sauce mixed, which my server recommended. Heard about this place from a friend, and I'm here to spread the good news. Just go! Tips : Get there before 10am or expect a line. Wear something lightweight, no AC! They do have espresso here, but it's not the main show
We had a great lunch here. You can tell it's gotten popular because the other restaurants on the block were pretty empty and this place had a line. Our fam remembered enjoying it years ago when it was more of a tent and turns out it's just as delicious. We ordered pork and steak tacos, a torta, a quesadilla, horchata, pineapple frescas, and flan. All were stellar! The horchata was perfect, not too sweet. Definitely recommend.
My family and I recently visited Taqueria Honorio for lunch. It was recommended by almost everyone we talked to about our trip to Tulum. The place was bigger than I expected; I was imagining a small shack selling the best tacos. We arrived around 1 pm, and the place was not crowded. We were seated in the back, and the server took our orders immediately. We ordered two tacos each of cochinita pibil, lechón, milanesa de pollo, and poc-chuc. The tacos were good, but I was not impressed. My kids ordered three more tacos de cochinita pibil, and I ordered another lechón. The food was good but not amazing. The service was quick, and I am glad we did not have to wait in line to get in.
From an outsider, this seems to be one of Tulum's most beloved taco spots by tourists and locals alike. Whether you are getting takeout or sitting in to eat, the folks here are friendly, efficient, and work really quickly. It's a really chill taco spot, but they close really early each day (sometime between 1-3pm I believe). But I have no problems eating any type of tacos early in the morning for breakfast lol. I've been told and read from multiple sources that this place has the best cochinita pibil and lechon. Also, the cochinita pibil is very regional to this area so I knew that I had to hit this place up before leaving Tulum. You can order their food in taco or torta form. I came here at 7:30 in the morning on the day I was leaving and wanted tacos. I ordered some cochinita pibil tacos and a relleno negro de pavo taco with a horchata to wash it down. The tacos came out quickly with some accoutrements including salsas on the side. Oh my gosh, the taco meat was so juicy and flavorful. This was such a perfect way to end my trip here in terms of food. They were so good that I ended up ordering a lechon taco as well that came with a little chicharron on top. I had to stop myself at four total. When I got there, there was a short line outside, waiting for takeout. But there was plenty of seating inside. I would imagine this place gets really busy as it gets later in the morning.
We came here after diving (this is right around the corner from KOOX diving) and it seems to be really the best spot to get tacos around here especially for their cohinita pibil tacos (sort of like tender baby pork) seems like locals and tourists both love it as lines are out the door. It was easy to find parking across the street and the place was very simple and easy to find as you'll see their name written across the front and inside there's a few pigs to reference. It's packed to the brim and service was super fast and easy. Super casual and you can be in and out if you want and they accept take out at the door if you just need to eat immediately. This place has no air conditioner for reference but has one of the best guac I've ever had which started the meal off and whereas I can't find Diet Mexican Coke almost anywhere in Mexico - this place has the diet Mexican Coke!!!!! The tacos itself were mind blowing especially if you're hungry I think I was going to see God when I ate these tacos because I was starving from my dive trips. I went silent because they're so good. The pork is just so soft and so tender it literally melts in your mouth and there's nothing I can do to forget this experience. I wish I got more is all. My partner got their chicken which was her favorite along with the cochinita pibil and the beef ones. So if you're a chicken fan you'll be happy here as well.
This place is decent size. No reservations so first come first serve. It's very clean and staff speak very good English. Regardless of how long the lines are they move pretty quickly. Let's talk about the food. Delicious!! Eating here felt like going to a Mexican friends house and having their mom cook for you. Chiqualies with eggs was so yummy perfect amount of sauce and it wasn't soggy. The house made sauce was so good. Chicken and pork tacos were good as well. Very flavorful. We had the sandwiches as well and the bread on its own is something I could eat all day. Very clean restaurant given how busy they are. Highly recommend don't be too worried of the long lines they move very quickly.
Highly recommend coming here if you like tacos. Came with a party of 8 in the middle of the weekday around 12pm and there wasn't a wait for a table, but it was busy with a steady stream of people. Tacos are personal sized. Recommend sampling all the meat ones. The chips and guacamole was delish too. The watermelon juice was really refreshing as well (literally puréed watermelon). Service is fast and friendly. It says on the outside of the restaurant they take card, but when we went it was cash only. Restaurant is located in a more local area of town.

It was a very good experience. Very busy! However, the service was quick, and the food was authentic and tasty! I would highly recommend. read more
This was such a great spot to try some local cuisine! It was very busy (so you know it's good). We order chips and guacamole as appetizer and it was everything you'd expect. I also ordered the horchata, and while I wish it was a little more flavorful, it was still delicious. On to the tacos...they were soooo good. I ordered the beef and pulled pork (and accidentally got the suckling pig one too...more on that later). They beef was my least favorite, but still full of flavor. The pulled pork was excellent. The suckling pig was the best one I had! It was the best accidental food I've ever had lol. Two of my friends got that one and raved about it. I was skeptical because of the type of meat it was, but I figured I'd try it. It was so tender and full of amazing flavor!! If you're on the fence, try it anyway. You won't be disappointed. The ambiance was great. There were a lot of locals there as well as tourists. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because our waiter (who was overall good), forgot to submit our order. The only reason I know that is because people who were seated way after we were got our food before us, and our waiter realized it as he was bringing them their food. read more
I've been wanting to go to this place for years! There's always a line but tables move so fast we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes. It's a very "hole in the wall" place. Many many locals frequent this place which is always a good sign in my eyes. Everyone was very nice and they work efficiently. The tacos were all good and very cheap at only 26 pesos each. The flan was amazing! Made in house daily and we took it down fast! Overall, very worth stopping in when you're in Tulum. read more

A fantastic tacos, delicious flavor!! the best tacos of cochinita y lechón!! I little hot but in back have a corner with air acondicionado read more
These are, unequivocally, the best tacos I've ever had. The cochinita pibil tacos were truly, truly fantastic. The oven-roasted pork was also excellent. We didn't get to try the turkey ones, which I hear are very good. But the cochinita pibil was really something else. If I could eat here every week, I absolutely would. read more

This place is so good, we came back two days later. We tried the first four types of tacos on the menu; Cochinita pibil, lechon, poc chuc, and relleno negro. If you like tacos on the less greasy side, you'll like the relleno negro. For me personally, I'm a fan of the poc chuc. They ran out of this during my first visit. Lechon can be a bit dry if you're going late but the chiccaron that comes with it makes the taco crunchy. Next time we're back, I want to try their poc chuc sandwich. read more

The chicken sandwich was phenomenal although the chicken taco was a little dry the service was phenomenal and the restaurant looked very authentic however there was a distinct smell of poop outside of the restaurant . read more
Hands down our favorite taco spot in Tulum. Their tacos are Yucatan style and different from the usual al pastor, arrachera type of tacos you see more commonly in Mexico. You really can't go wrong with any of their tacos -- they all have tons of flavor and are well-portioned. I highly recommend that you try all of them since they're only 25 pesos each! Sometimes they'll sell out of a certain type of meat so it's better to come early. The staff don't really speak English but are super friendly. read more
This is a breakfast spot, and yes they are regular tacos. I was definitely okay with eating tacos for breakfast. I got here at 11 with a small line, and when we left at 12 the line was much longer. Have your mask - they won't seat you until it's on. Mmm these tacos were delicious! I wish I could go back. My favorite in order: cochinita pibil, poc chuc, then lechon al horno. This definitely needs to be on your list for Tulum. read more
This is a must when visiting tulum. The cochinita pibil quesadilla is my absolute favorite. I also went a second time for the chilaquiles and was happy with everything I ordered. It's a taqueria with no frills but all the love is in the food. Great prices and quick service, so don't be discouraged by the long line. There is a lot of seating inside and the waiters are quick. read more
Hands down my fave taco spot ever! As in I would fly back to Tulum just for this. During my most recent trip there, we had this twice. Once when we first arrived and then right before we hopped on our flight back to Philly! They specialize in pork tacos and my favorite was the lechon with crispy skin. Everything was also so cheap as it's definitely considered local eats. Try the lechon taco with a Sandia drink if you're ever in Tulum! read more
The verdict is in: best place for tacos in Tulum! Try all of them if your tummy allows it. I would skip out on the extras so that you can taste the flavor of the meat. The add-ons take away from the overall experience as the taco is only so big. This place opens early (6am) and closes early (1:30pm). Don't make the same mistake we did and come strolling in hoping to grab a late lunch or early dinner. The line will be long. Get on the waitlist as the list goes by fast. Come hungry and tip generously! read more
So we missed out on the chicken tacos today... but the pork tacos did not disappoint... I'm not a spicy guy but the green salsa was legit on everything! Wife enjoyed the spicy salsa and said Tha even the pico had a nice kick. Great staff and fast service! Oh and the food is so cheap you should really eat here more often! read more
A well run taco joint that works well with gringos. QR code menus and they accept credit card. Very popular and very cheap. We each had 3 tacos and were surprisingly stuffed. Cochinita pibil, lechon, and poc chuc. All pork and all delicious. Love the green salsa. This is a great spot if you want some fast and efficient Mexican tacos read more
This is a must for breakfast/lunch. Keep in mind this place gets pretty packed and closed at 3:30 (w time change). You're going to see a lot of people all waiting at the front to either sit or pick up so you have to go to the front to find the hostess and out your name on the list. There were only 2 of us and it took about 10 min to get a table. To start we ordered the guac and juice, which come in plastic water bottles and that was great because we could take them to go. We then ordered the torta de cochinita pibil which was my favorite from the menu, and almost all tacos from the menu. The food was really good and the salsas they had on the table really complimented them. read more
Wasn't sure if this place would live up to their hype but they definitely did! We ordered the cochinita pibil and the carne asada tacos. Both get 10/10. I only give a 4 star because we went on a Sunday at noon and there was a line to get in. After standing in line for about 20 minutes, we find out that you are supposed to write your name down to be sat. There should be a sign or at least a worker advising everyone in line about this. Id definitely go back if in Tulum again. read more

Great taco spot! I saw many comments that this place can get pretty packed. Our group got really lucky and came around 10 am on a Monday which wasn't bad at all. We tried a variety of tacos however the clear favorite of the group is the lechon! Everything here was good and you can't go wrong. I will saw though the only thing you should pass on is the dessert empanadas. read more

This place has taco making and fast service down to a science! The perfect casual lunch spot after a morning of cenote swimming. Know that it is cash only. We loved that they had big fans going to keep us cool and keep the mosquitoes away in their large dining area. Lots of tables. Bonus points for a vegetarian option. Everything tasted so incredibly delicious and fresh, some of the best tacos in tulum for sure only suggestion would be that they get a vegan meat for their veg tacos. read more
Literally the best pork I have ever eaten. Taqueria Honorio is a rather unassuming, mostly-locals place in Tulum. Our guide suggested it and I am so happy he did!! First - really clean restrooms (at least the ladies) around back. Second - cheap prices. A big torta will run around 38 pesos. Third - nice people! The staff works hard to get your delicious food to you fast! Most importantly - FOOD!!!!!! Tables are set with delicious, creamy green salsa, radishes, pico and something a bit hotter. We all opted for lechon tortas - imagine a 8" freshly baked, perfectly crusty teleda roll filled with juicy, tender, unctuous rich pork and diced onions. Throw some of the green salsa on and enter pork nirvana, my friends. They were so wonderful we all split cochinita tortas too - it's a hard call as to which was more delicious. The cochinita has a subtle spice and smokiness that again was absolutely incredible. This is simple food made with love and care - don't miss it. I'll be dreaming about those tortas for a long, long time. read more

Decent spot. Cheap. Lots of meat on the tacos. Was sad they were out of the relleno negro de Pavo. Had the young pork and the quesadilla and they were both good. No alcohol served here. Bummer! Went with the rice water which is some sort or horchata. Service is quick and helpful. Ask for avocado on your tacos. So good. Not a lot of bike parking or street parking for cars. No air conditioning, but they have fans. read more
Fantastic, local recommendations, and absolutely wow! Fantastic street style tacos and meat that was just mouth watering. Definitely a must if you are in the area. We had a whole feast for two people and the total was something like $12 USD. There was a little bit of a wait in line but totally worth it. You know people are waiting for a reason and this is a good one! read more

Unquestionably one of Tulum's most popular eateries, Taquería Honorio is invariably found with a queue, on this Friday over a dozen police officers in body armor taking up residence to dine on what many consider Mexico's best Cochinita Pibil. Cooked in pits outside the city, Achiote and Oranges used to tenderize and marinade, diners begin to arrive at 6:00am Wednesday through Monday, quick service and limited choices almost always guaranteeing Pork gone by noon with everything else sold out by 3:00pm. Also selling Quesadilla and Torta, plus tender Asada and Fried Chicken with Lettuce and Tomato, rest assured that while each 22 peso Tortilla is delicious there is no denying Honorio's Pig is exceptional whether one opts for beautifully seasoned Cochinita with Onions or heartier Lechon beneath crispy Skin. read more
Finally got to try Mark Wein's recommended taco spot!! Hands down the best tacos I've ever had. The al pastor was my favourite. The pork was so juicy and tender. It literally melted in my mouth. The hot sauces also gave it a nice kick and took it to another level!! I wanted to come back a second time before I left Tulum but unfortunately it was closed that day. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Tulum! It's a MUST EAT read more

Delicious authentic Mexican food. I ordered a breaded chicken quesadilla and a carne asada taco. I felt like the quesadilla looked small but no it turned out to be very filling. I definitely recommend coming here they're open from 6am-3pm and closed on Tuesdays read more
I ordered all the tacos just to make sure I didn't miss anything. The chicken and turkey were something you could get anywhere but the Cochinita pibil and Lechon tacos were truly something to come to Tulum for. The lechon tender pork paired with the crunchy chicharron was by far my absolute favorite. Also they don't skimp on the meat here. I overheard a guide saying in Mexico they only have one life but many sizes so eat tacos! read more
I can only speak to their veggie tacos- which was pretty good, but nothing amazing. Very unique with eggs, avocados and shredded lettuce. It works though! I would recommend to get their signature . It's not too sweet, nice bitter note. Bonus: love their watermelon drink. read more

Open until 1:30pm so that must tell us it's good?! The tradition is to eat lechon in the morning so all they have here is pork, turkey, or they have a meatless option. Our driver Ulises joined us with this meal and we felt that we owed this to him because he was beyond helpful and welcoming. I was so excited and hungry I didn't get any pics of the food just place. (Sad face) --Cochinita Pibil (4.5/5) - I liked this one better than the Lechon because it had A LOT more flavor. You can tell by the color and because there some fat in it. We ended up getting 3 more of these at the end of our meal. --Lechon Al Horno (4/5) - I was really looking forward to this taco because most of the reviews raved about this. It's a light colored pulled pork topped one with one piece of "crispy skin" which is just a piece of chicharron. On wasn't really wowed by this but it wasn't bad. My concoction of sauces on top made it better of course. --Quesadilla Lechon Al Horno (3/5) - I should have waited to see which meat was better before I ordered quesadilla, but I went right ahead and listened to my fellow yelpers. Overall the quesadilla was just wayyyyy too much cheese. I had to peel off the chunks of cheese inside to be able to finish this. I can see why there's a bit of a hype here. It's not like omg I need to have again, but it was good. All their juices are fresh drinks poured into a cold bottle. I was really wowed by the cantaloupe juice. Muy bueno! Definitely a place to try out when you're in town. read more

Two takeaways: 1.) Meat sweats are a real thing, people. 2.) These tacos rocked my world. I'll start off by saying I have a guilty pleasure for chicharrones - it's an unhealthy love but I can't help it. You know what's even better than chicharrones? Slapping them inside a lechon taco alongside fresh squeezed lime juice, a curtido-like salsa and salsa verde and you're rocking my world... for less than $1. A few other reasons to love this place (and visit more than once): -made from scratch tortillas (I had blast standing and watching them be made) -The speedy service -ridiculously cheap prices (around $5 for your meal of three tacos and a drink) -they make horchata and agua frescas -juicy pork and fresh chopped veggies for salsas -if you're lucky, live music will stumble upon the tent for mood setting -I didn't get a chance to try them but they offer cream cheese and sweet potato empanadas read more
Great spot for tacos in tulum. You will experience authentic flavors from the marinated meat as well as the handmade tortillas. A lot of tourists come here to eat but do not let that bother you. I would recommend ordering the horchata to try as well. read more

Ay Dios Mio! Que Comida tan Rica! This place was absolutely amazing! Now this is the food I was yearning for so bad on this trip! There was a line to get in but it only took about 10 minutes. This place runs like a well oiled machine! I don't think there is anything on the menu which wasn't a 10 out of a 10! The food was fresh, delicious and the salsas they offer were absolutely tasty and spicy in the right way! I'd definitely recommend this fantastic taqueria if you're visiting or even driving through and need a break. Salud y gracias! read more

BEST TACOS IN TULUM and possibly best tacos I've ever had in my life! We came here starving and ordered one of each type of taco (except for vegetarian) along with a quesadilla. Everything was delicious and I wish we ordered more. My favorites were the lechon (roasted suckling pig) and poc chuc (grilled pork meat). If you're in the area, you MUST come here! read more
