Kathryn Y.

Love this healthy and delicious place - their smoothies are amazing and we always come here when we are in tulum. The salads are so fresh and full of avocado and greens and the fried avocado is delicious too. So many good healthy options and great ambiance. Carlos has amazing service too!!

Macho pancakes
Alison G.

Do not miss the Mayan Night dinner! The Wednesday night Indian dinner was excellent too! Breakfast was my favorite. Macho pancakes were so light and fluffy I ordered them three times! And the plantain and sweet potato hash bowl was outstanding. Love the bagel with probiotic cream cheese and cucumbers and pickled veggies and dill. Phyto green drink - highly recommended along with their homemade broth. Chocolate brownie and ice cream so so yummy! . I loved that I could order anything on the menu and not worry about gluten dairy or other greens. Service was fantastic. And the ocean side setting is pleasant and beautiful views.

Traveling around Quintana Roo area with friends who try to eat Paleo, gluten and grain free, no soy, no GMO, etc. etc. we were able to locate great places to eat with a little research. We came across this one from Yelp after visiting the Tulum Mayan temples. The menu looked fantastic and right up our alley! Located beach front Tulum within the Hotel Sanara Tulum, the ambiance immediately relaxed us and bathed us in tranquility with the peaceful sounds of the waves lapping the white sandy beach. We may consider staying at the hotel next trip! The barefoot hostess walked us across sand to the back porch dining area and sat us in a nice location with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. We started with cool smoothie refreshments and then ordered some of the most amazing cuisine we had yet tried this trip! Everything was absolutely delicious and plated meticulously. Although the price on lunch for five without cocktails ($5500 pesos) was much higher than we normally pay in Mexico, we felt it was worth the experience and serenity. Time and money well spent. Highly recommend whether the not you have the same dietary restrictions as our friends do! P.S. They have another restaurant in Malibu, CA that I intend to try in a couple of weeks! Menu prices look cheaper than Tulum!

Macho Pancakes were delicious but the service was VERY slow. :(
Saba S.

Wonderful ambiance, wonderful food, great coffee, but very slow service. Only one server for the entire restaurant. Felt bad for the guy.

Broccoli and Avocado salad with shrimp

My friends and I came here after doing yoga at Sanara. It was so refreshing, and a perfect lunch/brunch. Everything was fresh and the flavors were on point!

Egg Breakfast

Everything coconut, everything good! My favorite restaurant in Tulum hands down. I trust the quality and food taste, without a doubt. They have the best quality and flavor. All the meals are made with natural ingredients and no refined white flour and/or dairy products. I feel good eating the food and it's not overly expensive. The best time to eat here is for breakfast. I have not complaints. Set on the beach, friendly service, and in beautiful Sanara grounds. I want to stay here next time I come just to go to the real coconut.

The Cleanser

As 2017 comes to an end I wish for you to have the pleasure of eating here in 2018. This paradise is set right on the beach and the breeze and sound of the waves add to the wonderful experience of dining here. Breakfast is everything the mind, body and soul need! Wonderful juices and smoothies are made fresh to order. Everything is gluten, dairy, lactose and process sugar free! The Eggs Benedict with House Smoked Snook is great and healthy although I did find the snook a bit overpowering and salty. The Macho Pancakes are to die for! Made with plátano maduro they are sweet yet savory and when paired with the maple syrup or the berry compote absolutely devine! For lunch they have everything your cravings want. The fried chicken is perfect the fish tacos on coconut tortillas delicious and the Shrimp Tostadas are hardy and a total treat. You can seriously eat everything on the menu and gain back 10 years of life!

Amazing service, beautiful ambiance , with a DJ and ocean view. Came here on a Saturday for brunch and the food/drinks were amazing.

Chia w/mango and iced coffee
Vi T.

Gluten free, creative, healthy food, awesome juice bar! They also have chips which I believe is carried by Whole Foods (tortilla chips made of coconut flour). We stayed at the Sanara hotel so came down here for our light breakfasts before morning yoga. Drinks Ginger beer was fresh made! Bullet coffee was good, used coconut oil Ginger turmeric short was so refreshing Food Shakshuka was good, chips to dip were addictive Chia seed pudding was healthy and delicious Chia chocolate pudding was good too View/restaurant/service All amazing! This restaurant is good thru and thru starting from the ground up. The food concept, how they source, the ingredients, etc. We had a great experience here.

Watermelon muddle
Kristie K.

Amazing lunch at this beachside locale on Tulum Beach. Delicious (and healthy) options galore. Especially loved the selection of booze- free refreshing drinks. Shrimp tostadas were simply the best. Smoky sauce lightly coating the plentiful shrimp on crisp total chips. Hubby loved the lightly tempura battered fish tacos. Loved that the guacamole was served with crisp veggies in addition to the usual chips!

Just sitting pretty beach side!
Laura H.

Janelli the hostess Was so sweet and nice! She recommended the coconut quesadilla which was phenomenal. My only regret is I did not add the hemp plantain falafel balls! My husband had the hemp plantain falafel tacos with roasted chipotle vegetables ! They were killer! I cannot wait to come back and have lunch here again soon!

Frappuccino
Jie G.

I came here every day while I was in Tulum. It's more than a place that brands itself for healthy food. The drinks and food are actually tasty and creaTive. It's the best place for brunch in Tulum. Think about the sunshine and beach on a morning. Smoothies are so good. Order anything you want and you don't be disappointed. Banana bread and scone are recommended. Cocktails are delIcious too. I had black passion. It's fruity, refreshing and a bit sauce from the passion fruit. I can have this all day long!

Sweet Potato Hash Brown Balls w/ water crest salad and avocado
Anna C.

Wow the food tastes so fresh. I felt energized after eating. It's light but filling. Great meal to start you day. Pancakes were amazing! Highly recommend. It comes with jam and syrup- jam was very flavorful. We finished all of it. The sweet potato hashbrown balls w/ water crest. The salad gives the dish a light element to balance the sweet potato. Very well balanced dish. We went back the next morning and tried it all again! Very happy with our meal and the breathtaking views of the ocean

No notes. Recommended by our hotel for açaí so my friends and I came here before hitting the art…read morewalk. Jorge was our server and he was so sweet and attentive. We ordered the omelette caprese, fruit plate, açaí bowls, and a breakfast bowl. **The açaí was the best I've had in Tulum.** The açaí was so light and fresh, with a pure açaí base, not blended with yogurt or juice like most places. Adding a side of granola made it perfect. The fruit plate was great because you could mix everything into the açaí and my friends really liked the breakfast bowl and omelette. They also brought us teas in the cutest teapots. Open, airy, beachy, and super relaxed with super healthy food options. My friends and I really enjoyed our slow breakfast here

Welcome to Frescos. Lets get to the food shall we. Vegan Bowl - Once again, I can't reiterate enough to how partial I am to vegetarian dishes. All of the veggies from the Cauliflower, zucchini, broccoli, carrots all the way to the shallots had perfect texture and char. The mushroom is on point and the quinoa is a perfect supporting role. 8.9/10 The service was very prompt and intuitive. The atmosphere was nice and chill and I would definitely recommend. If you ever make it to tulum, do give this spot a proper go at it and let me know what you think. Hit that like and follow for more food and travel adventures by yours truly. Share this review with a smash mode buddy and thank you so much for reading along. I love you Mwah

Gotta be honest, I saw the 5 star reviews and had to try. I didn't realize there was such few…read morereviews, my bad. They were out of the filet so we were talked into the tomahawk over the ribeye. We requested med and it came out very rare. We had hem put it back in to cook longer and it was still super rare. We weren't even able to finish it. The sweet potato was covered in granola but felt more of like raw oats. Mashed potatoes were decent but honestly felt like they came from a box. I hate to write this I just needed to share bc the 5 stars felt over deserved. Vibe was there and this was the nicest restrooms I have seen all week. However the water for the sinks wasn't working initially. The spicy sauce they served was the best part. Drinks were also decent but small and when we reordered it was missing things the initial drink had. Just overall not impressed for the price. Ok just got home. Everyone is puking so I just changed the rating to one star. There is no way this restaurant has 5 star ratings, must be fake

Service was outstanding , drinks were super tasty and the food was exceptional…read more Love how the mixologist was super passionate and Crafty with all the cocktails he made us! I was pretty amazed and was impressed with his expertise and execution of the drinks. Definitely added another element to our dinner. The Mexican elderberry was my Favorite drink 5/5 The food was super tasty. We had the chocolatas clam , grilled octopus , roasted piglet , and the guava churro for dessert. All the dishes were excellent and the service there was exceptional!
