Burrito restaurant
Burrito Amor is a laid-back spot with a large covered terrace, offering an extensive menu of vegan and gluten-free options. The restaurant features homemade tortillas filled with various stuffings, including meat, vegetarian, vegan, egg-free, dairy-free, or paleo-friendly fillings. Emphasizing clean eating and fresh ingredients while delivering flavorful meals, Burrito Amor also has a full bar serving signature cocktails along with aguas frescas, coffee, and fresh juices.
I loved this restaurant in Tulum. Food was great, experts in burritos. They don’t serve tacos. We came back next day for breakfast at 7:30 am but opening is at 8 am. Location is great and really like the setting. Tulum is hot so the trees really help. The burritos are huge and I also liked the drinks. If you are vegetarian you can easily find something from the menu. The staff is amazing. They make you feel good.

✅ Positives: Amazing service and a cute ambiance — works for solo meals, couples, family dinners, or even a date. The burrito was super tasty and the price felt fair. ❌ Negative: Wanted fresh coconut water but they only had bottled. With so many healthy, fresh menu options, this felt like a miss. Overall great spot for a delicious, well-priced burrito in a relaxed setting. Would definitely come back, specially for their breakfast.
Luiz B — Google review
Burrito Amor is a stylish and relaxed spot in Tulum, perfect for a light and fresh meal. The burritos are served wrapped in banana leaves, which looks nice and is practical. The gluten-free coconut tortilla is a creative twist, and the menu has plenty of options – from vegan to rib-eye – with fresh ingredients. Smoothies and juices are interesting, though sometimes a bit watery. Prices are on the higher side for Tulum but still reasonable. The open, airy setting feels welcoming, and the staff are friendly. Overall: a great place if you’re after healthy, modern burritos in a chill setting. Not the most authentic Mexican punch of flavor, but definitely worth a visit.
Manuel Z — Google review
Service, quality of food, aesthetics - everything perfect. Since prices are on European-American level here in Tulum, this place remains one of those with fair prices and excellent products and welcoming service. The rib eye burrito was the best I’ve ever had. Coffe for 50 Pesos, Burritos 140-200 pesos. Also the best banana bread of my life… 5 stars all the way!
Dora M — Google review
I’d heard a lot about this place but never had the chance to try it until now! In most reviews, it’s ranked in the top 2 spots for best burritos in Tulum, and after my visit, I can see why. The vibe is cozy and relaxed, kind of like a beach-style restaurant, nothing too fancy, but it feels warm, homey, and down to earth. The staff are super friendly, welcoming, and take the time to explain the dishes really well. We ordered the ribeye burrito, shrimp aguachile, and guacamole. The guacamole was fresh but pretty average,good, but nothing special. The burrito, though, was excellent, definitely above average! It’s wrapped in banana leaves, which gives it a tender texture and a unique flavor. I really enjoyed it, and it makes sense why this burrito is always ranked among the best in Tulum. But the star for me was the shrimp aguachile. It’s a cold dish that’s spicy, tangy, and refreshing, like a perfect balance of the sea and fresh greens. Absolutely delicious!

So delicious! Burritos tasted fresh and seasoned so well. The Guac was amazing and I loved my mojito cocktail. Perfect way for us to kickoff our trip to Tulum! Service was quick and accommodating. We were a larger group but were seated immediately.

The best burrito we’ve ever had! Everything was so fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. And those homemade lemonades — absolutely delicious! Burrito Amor is a must when you’re in Tulum. We loved it! 🌯💛🍋

The restaurant was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The menu had loads of options for everyone - gluten free, vegan, vegetarian etc. The food came quickly and the burritos were presented beautifully. The fish burrito was delicious with lots of flavour and filling. The prices were a bit on the expensive side but tulum is not that affordable in general compared to other parts of Mexico due to mass tourism. Would recommend this place :)

Upon entering, visitors are enveloped in an atmosphere of love and tranquility, with an abundance of vegetation, friendly staff, and a peaceful ambiance.

Love it here!! Amazing vibes and art work everywhere. The food feels really good and clean. You can tell everything it’s made with a lot of love and it looks just as beautiful. They also have a really great selection of kombucha. I highly recommend coming here for some tranquility and truly healing food.

Absolutely loved Raw Love in Tulum! 🌿 The atmosphere is gorgeous, peaceful, and cool (such a nice spot to relax in the heat). I had a fresh coconut which was obviously delicious, then shared the Zucchini Alfredo (zucchini pasta with cashew cream, basil pesto, smoked tomatoes, walnuts, and arugula) and the Maki Rolls (nori wraps with fresh veggies). Everything was super fresh, flavorful, and 100% plant-based. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful vegan-friendly place in Tulum!

So glad we stopped here for lunch! Such a little oasis away from the chaos. We came because we wanted refreshing food and had my dog with us (this place is dog friendly!). The tamales were delicious, the blue magic was so refreshing, our smoothies were great and my mom loved her pad thai. We got free shots for leaving reviews, but I would’ve left one anyway :) Highly recommend!

The maca vanilla bowl was incredible and the mocha with orange one of the best drinks I have had in my life (it is not sweet). Must try if you stay away from refined sugar and processed foods, SO good. Service was excellent and very relaxed vibe (though personally not a fan of the interiors and style of the place, it still makes for a nice atmosphere)

Raw Love Tulum! I had heard about this place before but never got the chance to try it until now. There are two locations in Tulum since I couldn’t find the one in the hotel zone, I went to the downtown spot, and wow… what a fantastic experience! The place has such a bohemian, cool vibe that makes you feel calm and relaxed. I ordered the açaí berry bowl, quinoa salad, and chocolate cake. The açaí bowl was unlike anything I’ve ever tried 10/5! The quinoa salad was also delicious, solid 5/5. And the chocolate cake? Another perfect 5/5. This spot is definitely worth stopping by. The staff are amazing, and while it’s a little on the pricey side, the quality makes it totally worth it. I can’t wait to go back and try more!

The food is very clean and healthy, and the ambiance and vibes are amazing. This place is unique and has so much character with beautiful artwork and murals to enjoy. But the best part was the warmth and hospitality I received from the staff here. We had a rainstorm and power outage while I was here and they gave us incredible hospitality and conversation. Adam and Noalie are total gems - such warm people that make you feel at home.

This experience was amazing, the good healthy food that was filling but yet left with enough space for desert! My server was from Argentina and it made me feel like I was at home. The Vegan Burger was delicious and the COCONUT… ORDER THE WHILE COCONUT FOR A BEVERAGE. 10/10 I recommend this to everyone coming to Tulum

Juice shop
Matcha Mama Pueblo is a popular and picturesque juicery in Tulum, known for its vibrant and Instagram-worthy aesthetic. With locations in Tulum Centro, Aldea Zama, and the Hotel Zone, this vegan eatery offers beautifully crafted smoothie bowls and matcha lattes. The charming decor includes swings instead of chairs, cute wall murals, and a surfboard with the 'love Tulum so matcha' sign.
Loved Matcha Mama! The smoothies and bowls were super fresh, delicious, and perfect for the Tulum vibe. So many natural and healthy options to choose from, and everything tasted amazing. The spot itself is super cute and chill, great for grabbing something light, refreshing, and nutritious. A must-visit if you’re into clean eating and tropical vibes!

I have enjoyed açai and smoothie bowls in over 50 countries, so I have a good sense of what makes a great one. I decided to visit this place after seeing it on social media, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. The smoothie bowl was quite disappointing: it was small, tasteless, and still had ice chunks in it, suggesting it wasn't freshly made. However, the staff were very friendly, which was a positive aspect of my visit. I hope the café can improve the freshness and flavour of their bowls in the future. For now, I would recommend trying other places in the area. Furthermore the coffee was also very bad !
Monir A — Google review
Amazing place with the best smoothie bowls in town. They have a lot of swings in the sun - what better way is there to enjoy your favorite smoothie bowl! And don’t be fooled by the portion size, it looks way smaller than it actually is. We’ve been here several time during our vacation and loved it every single time.
Alissia W — Google review
Cute little shop for smoothie bowls 🥭 The place has a very nice and large seating area, the swings in the front are very cute to take pictures at! My friend and I both order Mango Tango smoothie bowls, it was tasty and I was surprised it came in disposable bowls vs. coconut bowl for extra aesthetic. I was also shocked the girl asked for a tip even though it was all self served. 4 stars as the bowl was pretty expensive for what you get.

Seafood restaurant
El Camello Jr. is a popular spot in Tulum known for its delicious and affordable seafood dishes. Despite its unassuming exterior, the restaurant is always bustling with locals eager to savor their fresh and indulgent seafood offerings. The menu features standout items like seafood soup, tangy ceviche, shrimp cocktail, and whole fried mojarra fish that's crispy on the outside and tender inside.
Amazing food experience. Highly recommend the Ceviche, Filet de Pescado en Salsa Camello and the Shrimp in Garlic. So good you don’t want your meal to end. Portions are great and we came back a second time and will likely go again before leaving Tulum! Paid around 250-280 Pesos per meal plus drinks (160 for cocktails).

El Camello Jr. is a must every time we’re in Tulum. The seafood is always fresh and flavorful, and my wife swears by their fried fish — crispy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. It’s a laid-back spot with great prices, generous portions, and fast, friendly service. Easy to find and well worth the visit, this place never disappoints. A true local gem!
David C — Google review
It’s a local restaurant with good food. We went twice. The ceviche mixto (shrimp and octopus)was my favorite, the portions are very generous. We got a whole fried fish and tacos too. If you want good food and don’t want to spend too much this is the place! I really recommend it!

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Tulum. The seafoods are so fresh and they give you so much food you would not walk out of here hungry. The prices are so cheap we had literally appetizer + food + desserts + drink for two under 850 pesos. Please try the pasta here if u have not. I be coming back soon :))

Came here solely based on the number of reviews this place got. I only tried the guac and the grilled fish tacos. The food itself was very fresh, I think the guac could have had a little more spice, but they did have hot sauce sitting around. The price was reasonable, it could be a little lower for what it is. But overall good experience. If I go back, it will be to try something new.
Alina A — Google review
We heard El Camello Jr. recommended over and over—especially for the ceviche—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The fish was super fresh, the portions generous, and the flavor spot on. It’s a place that feels authentic, which is refreshing in a town like Tulum where so much feels overly curated. Great value for money and friendly, efficient service made it one of our favorite stops in Tulum.
Alex — Google review
If you're looking for the freshest ceviche in Tulum, this is the place to be! I have never had ceviche this good and the serving for a small order was good for 3-4 people. The price is very, very affordable as well. We also ordered fish and shrimp tacos which both were equally as good. The sauces on the table is a must with your tacos. Also have to mention how good their bean dip is which was complimentary when they serve you the tortilla chips. Service and ambiance is what you would expect from a local restaurant - warm and accommodating to your needs.

Located at the end of the main strip on the same side as the ADO bus station, it offers fantastic pork tacos and other delectable dishes at budget-friendly prices. The warm and friendly atmosphere adds to the experience, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

I first discovered Taquería La Chiapaneca two years ago while staying in Tulum, and I was so excited to return in 2025. This place is absolutely fantastic! They’ve moved to a new location, which now has a beautiful inner yard where you can enjoy your food outdoors in a relaxed setting. The menu is available in both Spanish and English, so ordering is easy even if you don’t speak Spanish. They offer a great variety of beers, plus sodas and water, and the prices are very reasonable and affordable. I truly love this place and will definitely come back whenever I’m in Tulum. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic tacos and a great atmosphere!

This restaurant is towards the end of the main road that goes through Tulum. This is a must go to spot for people who love Al pastor (pork) in any vessel! The flame spit in the front roasts the pork fresh. We ordered an Al pastor torta, pollo and asada salbutes, al pastor tacos, Al pastor tostadas, guacamole, and some Jamaica juice. The star of the show is the pork! While the chicken and beef were also good, we kept ordering more Al pastor in different forms and even ended up buying the pastor by the kilo to bring some back to our hotel! The green and red salsas have great flavor, with the red one having a great kick from the habanero peppers. There is also a small salad bar for you to top your meal with onions, cilantro, radishes, or cabbage. We are so happy we found this small little spot, and will be enjoying the 1 kg of pork we bought to go (which came with tortillas, salsa, and the fresh veggies).

5 delicious tacos for 70 pesos! Amazingly filling and very tasty for the best price I have found so far! I ate one in the pic. Ordinarily I would never eat pineapples with my chicken, but it was so scrumptious. I was full after eating 3 and continued eating the rest, because I couldn’t help it. Lol

Really solid tacos, especially for Tulum. Stop by for a few beers (50 pesos each) and 4 al pastor tacos (20 pesos each) and hang out for a bit in their back courtyard. Staff is very friendly and attentive, but I do recommend looking up a few Spanish phrases to make your visit a little more seamless.

Unbeatable prices for Tulum. The Tacos al Pastor were really good, but we can’t recommend the beef ones. It was quite busy, and the staff could have been more attentive – we had to wait quite a while and were seated right next to the restroom. Probably better for takeout.

Taqueria Honorio started as a modest street stall and has now become a bustling taco restaurant. It is highly recommended by locals for its specialty in Yucatan dishes such as cochinita pibil, lechon al horno, and poc chuc. The family-run establishment offers a no-frills dining experience with seating at small bars and long tables under tents.
When going on our tour, we were welcomed into this place with open arms. Me and my family, were seated down immediately and we got our food very quickly. The workers here also make the place more enjoyable, they were all very nice and pleasant to be around ☺️. Our food was very good and not very expensive.

Take a long cold shower before you go to this restaurant. Go in shorts, sandals and a muscle shirt. Very hot in this place but the fans do help some... Food is great. Very tasty. Good prices. Might be the best place in town. Even tourist go to this restaurant. Chilaquiles are deli deli!! Had to tell the lady that sits the people down that there were unoccupied tables because it seemed like she didn't see them. No biggie though.

We really enjoyed our visit to Taquería Honoria. Our hotel recommended that we visit and we are so glad we did. The food was delicious and it was great to try so many different tacos. We’d been reading reviews about how good a crisp Mexican Coca Cola could be, so we chose two of those to complement our meal. One of the highlights was the beef torta, so flavourful and tender. We finished off with the flan which was great. We also really enjoyed being able to watch the staff assemble the tacos.

Taqueria Honorio in Tulum is an absolute must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine! The food is simply outstanding, with every taco packed with vibrant, fresh flavors that showcase the best of local ingredients. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the handmade tortillas, every bite is a delight. The prices are incredibly reasonable, offering exceptional value for such high-quality dishes, making it a great spot for both budget travelers and foodies alike. The service is equally impressive-warm, friendly, and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the entire dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through Tulum, Taqueria Honorio is the place to go for a memorable meal that hits all the right notes. Highly recommend!

Great food and packed with locals as well as some tourists. They had a variety of meats that were available in various forms (taco, salbute, torta, quesadilla) or served as a plate with tortillas. There is also a vegetarian options. I ended up getting a taco and a quesadilla. Both were delicious. Was just the right amount of food for me with no leftovers. Food comes out quickly. Place is cash only, but it's very affordable.

AtlasAdventured recommends eating here for budget friendly travelers and visitors to the area. Definitely one of the more popular and written avout restaurants in Tulum. Seems like every Tulum Food Guide had this place on their list. It was good and had great prices. Very hectic and hot when its full but that's most places in Tulum. Overall a good experience and worth trying. Cochinita Pibil Torta would've been better with some veggies or additions other than meat and bread but the meat was really good. High turnover is usually a good sign for safe meat consumption here. We had been reluctant to try low cost pork since we read some horror stories. But it was good and we enjoyed eating here. Get here early because it gets really busy around lunch time.

A fantastic place for chill vibes and delicious breakfast! The staff is very welcoming and friendly, and we ate here almost every morning the week we came to Tulum.

The French toast tasted like a fresh apple pie!

Cute place. Servers were very nice. What wasn’t that great is I spend 1hr 45min on a small breakfast and coffee. Kitchen was very slow and it took forever. Also, my cortado came already sweetened which is strange.

We loved our brunch at Del Cielo!!! The environment is outdoor airy and all the staff carry an enthusiastic smile. They were very eager to take care of all our requests. I’m a bit of a coffee snob and I got a caramel cappuccino that was perfect. I also got the eggs Benedict that were on top of a crispy hash brown instead of any kind of bread at that was a brilliant combo. The açaí was mixed with coconut yogurt had great taste to it. The environment was so inviting we stayed a bit and talked after we were done eating. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Tulum Centro! Went here 3 times in a week. Lovely atmosphere, food is so fresh and plentiful, staff is so friendly. My husband and I tried so many things and loved them all! Highlights include: -Super Bowl -Tropical smoothie - Chilaquiles -Huevos Rancheros -Breakfast combo (the tomatoes are so good I spooned them into my mouth lol)

Phenomenal breakfast and coffee!!! Excellent service with great juices. Very nice atmosphere! Order the French toast or the Mexican bowl! Both were exceptional!

Grossest food I’ve eaten 🤢 . The coffee was bad (sour milk), the yogurt tasted like something foul was in it, and the chilaquiles were horrible, the taste was like watery tomatoes, in addition this was fresh out of the kitchen all of the chips were soggy 🌧️ ! How does that happen? The staff is nice, and the atmosphere is good, but my oh my the food was so bad. I think a lot of ingredients were expired. I’ve eaten all over the world and had some bad food, but this was so bad me and my wife didn’t even eat more than a few nibbles and left.

21/07/2025 Such a popular cafe!✨ I arrived before noon, but by lunchtime it was nearly full with lots of people coming in🕛🌞 I ordered the breakfast menu MX$160and added salmon MX$70 ☀️ You can choose between fried eggs or scrambled eggs 🍳I went with scrambled, and it was the right choice 🙂😋💜 It came with sauce, but the avocado, salmon, and eggs were already full of flavor, so I enjoyed it as it was⭐️ The bread was soft and easy to eat I really liked the texture, kind of like French bread🥖✨ The atmosphere was very relaxing, perfect for taking it easy 🍽️ Definitely check out their Instagram! 📱💖 ✨ @delcielo_bistrotropical✨ Gracias 🙂

La Hoja Verde is a popular spot in Tulum Pueblo, offering a diverse menu of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Located just off the main street, it attracts a steady stream of patrons seeking delicious plant-based options. From pizzas to chickpea bowls, smoothies to burgers, the restaurant has something for every craving. Despite its extensive menu, the food consistently meets expectations.
A very pleasant surprise to find such a lovely restaurant in the heart of Tulum! The service was fantastic (complete with a free spanish lesson lol) and the food was tremendous. Add that the the lovely patio and you can't ask for more. We had a fantastic fruit smoothie and the Smoked mushroom appetizer to start and then we had some of the best Gnocchi ever (stuffed with potato and sundried tomato and in a Leek and green onion sauce). We also had the trio of Tacos (each better than the last) and the fried mushroom tacos, which were also great! We finished with the Pineapple crumble for dessert, which was just perfect!

I came here for the first time and absolutely enjoyed my experience! I'm always hesitant to try new restaurants because of my food sensitivities but my server, Eduardo, was very knowledgeable about the menu and pointed out some sugar free and gluten free options including the chocolate brownie! It was so delicious. Another one of my favorites was the Sopes De Maiz, an appetizer that had tomato, avocado and sprouts. I am so so happy to have found a restaurant that is not only healthy and good for the body but also good for my taste buds as well! 10/10 will definitely be returning back very soon.

Very solid spot to come for a brunch with friends or to write some emails. The food is healthy enough and tasty enough and the prices are very fair for the quality. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Would be great if they had more comfy chairs or cushions for relaxing in the garden area, but overall, it's a decent spot to chill if you are staying the neighborhood.

Finally got the chance to check this place out! I’d heard lots of good things about it. Unfortunately, I only stopped in for a small snack, we ordered a botanical smoothie and tea. The smoothie was delicious and really well made. I’m giving it 4 stars only because there are a few other spots in Tulum I personally like a bit more, but everything here was very good and I have no complaints. I really enjoyed the smoothie, and I noticed other people’s breakfast dishes looked amazing too. Overall, I totally recommend this place. The prices are very reasonable for the Tulum area!

We ate here every single morning during our 5 days in Tulum, and it honestly became one of the highlights of our trip. The food is incredible — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. My boyfriend and I each ordered our own breakfast and then shared a third dish every day because we couldn’t resist trying something new. Everything we had was delicious!

The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and quick. The restaurant has a nice, relaxed open-air atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a good meal. It’s also very kid-friendly, which made it even better for our family. Located just a street or two off the main strip, it’s a perfect place to escape the crowds while still being close to everything. Highly recommend! We’d eat here all the time if we could!

The food was excellent. Everything was tasty. Service was fast. Compared to other seafood restaurants in Tulum i think they are the best from taste wise and also price. They accept cards. The only thing i dont like is that they do not have free filtered water. Whats up with that.

Firstly, the atmosphere and the service are great. It's an open patio with a covering that looks very appropriate. The tortillas and tacos are great, a little different from the offer commonly found in other restaurants. The fish soup and desserts and also great experiences. The fish towers are a fun concept, but get boring fast unless you're sharing it with a couple people.

Good service, fast. Taking coronavirus measurements. Chill Vibe. Food is good, fresh ceviche and aguachile. Plenty of Beer options, micheladas on point. Different sauces (note: white one very spicy) and tostadas are complementary. Short menu, online due to COVID. The waitress doesn't offer any menu explanations, maybe you have to ask the questions.

Amazing food, service and ambience! I was recommended this place by my hotel concierge and although initially i thought it maybe a tourist trap, it was anything but. The food is freshly made and is delicious to eat and beautifully presented. Definitely try the mushroom appetizer with sour cream, it was a revelation. The tacos are made in handmade tortillas and were pretty amazing. The ambience is spectacular lush green trees and succulent plants around you. We were also entertained by fire dance performers who were fantastic. Highly recommend a visit both for visitors and locals.

This burger haven stands out amidst Tulum’s taco-centric offerings, featuring everything from classic beef patties to innovative fish, chicken, and even falafel options.

✅ Positives: Tasty burgers with great menu options. Fries were on point with different flavors to choose from. The mojito was excellent and super refreshing. They serve not just ketchup, mustard, and mayo, but also a must-try cheese pâté. Great ambiance and service — and the best part: the cat, Nina, plus a cute dog.

Overall: Delicious burgers, friendly service, and adorable pets — worth a stop if you’re in central Tulum.

First you should know that the $15USD burgers do not come with fries. A small side of fries will run you about $3-5USD. It was very hot. I understand hot in the region, but this restaurant has no natural airflow due to surrounding buildings. Most places usually install fans, this place did not have any. It was uncomfortably hot. The service was ok, nothing extra for the $15 burger. Burger had no toppings, no lettuce, tomato, etc. While the burger did taste excellent, it was very small for the price. Overall it cost us $60USD for 2 small burgers and one side of fries and two drinks. For the excessive cost and small food portions, I can't reccomend this place and won't come back.

It was maybe 45 mins before they closed that we came in but they were still serving food and Seated us. The waitress kind of looked at us as if to hurry and order so we ordered right away. To our shock within literally a few minutes the waitress was bringing the burgers out. It made me think the burgers were already made and just warmed up. When we tasted the burgers they were just okay and fries weren't hot. I did like the atmosphere though.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Tulum, Safari Comedor Zama is a trendy and bohemian eatery that beautifully marries rustic Yucatecan-Mexican cuisine with a unique dining experience. Housed in a retro Airstream trailer, this charming spot serves up delightful campfire-style dishes cooked over an outdoor fire pit. While tacos may not dominate the menu, you can indulge in some of the finest offerings like pork pastor and shrimp mole verde wrapped in fluffy tortillas.
Lovely place with great tacos!!! I’ve had a few tacos in Mexico, and this place had some of the best I’ve had. Lovely waiters and the restaurant is located in a very calm neighborhood. The tortillas and the chips were so good! I tried three different types of tacos, and they were all great. Would strongly recommend going here! The salsa was so good my friend bought one to bring home to Norway!

I had a great meal at Safari Comedor Zama and would definitely recommend it. The Shrimp Mole Verde Taco was outstanding—easily the highlight of the meal. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the mole verde was rich, vibrant, and full of depth. I also can’t say enough good things about the Corn Esquite—it was warm, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. I’d go back just for those two dishes alone. The Guacamole Ying Yang was also delicious and fun to share, but the Crispy Fish Taco and Ceviche Tostada didn’t quite live up to the others—fine, but not something I’d reorder. All in all, a strong four-star experience. The setting is lovely, the service was friendly, and when the food is good, it’s really good.

AtlasAdventured recommends eating here. We lived in Aldea Zama for a month and since this place was right across the street, we ate her multiple times and the food was always good. Our server was the same each time and he was really nice half the time and seemed annoyed that we sat down the other half. But overall it is still worth stopping by for a meal. We ordered quite a few different items but our favorites, and the ones we would recommend are the: Nopal y Hongos Tacos Shrimp Diabla Gringa Quesadilla Fish tacos They have good happy hour specials on drinks. Make sure to put on Mosquito spray since its open air seating. Food is average value for Tulum and is definitely one of the better quality foods at this price point in the area.

Today we visited this place, and overall, we enjoyed it. The tacos were very tasty, hearty, and flavorful. However, what we didn’t like was the very slow service. It felt like the waitstaff was taking their time, moving slowly and taking a while to process orders. We waited almost 15 minutes just for the order to be taken. Between waiting for one thing and another, it added up. That said, we will definitely come back, but these are my first impressions.

Amazing tacos! High quality ingredients, especially the salsa. Best jamaica I’ve had in Tulum too. I don’t usually go to Aldea Zama for food, but this was worth the price I’ll be back!

My partner went to Safari years ago when it was closer to the beach so we wanted to check out the new place. The restaurant is located in a new residential development and while you don’t get the Tulum “beach” vibe, it’s a very refreshing experience! The service was great and the food is perfect. The tacos are exactly what you imagine a perfect taco being - get them all. We also got the crudo and it was really, really good! We also loved the salsa trio and chips that came with it. It was the first time I had the blackened habanero salsa and I fell in love.

Italdo is a must-visit spot in Tulum, offering a taste of Europe with its delectable baked goods. The bakery boasts an impressive assortment of treats, including almond croissants and their signature Black Croissant. Locals and tourists alike rave about the high quality of Italdo's breads. Whether you're a bread enthusiast or not, a trip to Italdo Pasteleria promises to be worthwhile.
The desserts and pastries here are truly works of art and equally delicious. Although I’m not typically a coffee drinker, I decided to try a vanilla latte, and it turned out to be of very good quality. The prices are on the higher side, but they are in line with the Tulum market average.

Were there for lunch, which was perhaps a mistake as it seems more of a breakfast place : pizza slices are basically leftover, the foccacia was a bit tough, the cheesecake we ended up sending back due to strange taste (waiter said it was due to almond flour, but to us it tasted like product that had been in the pantry for many years...) but they kindly replaced with another different desert.

The fanciest and most delicious desserts! So intricate and flavourful. The bread!!! Like Europe and a taste of the real best bread in Tulum. Staff are so well capacitated and present, very professional. The homemade Kim chi is my favourite gingery fermented jar to take away. So many treasures with so much heart.

Every time we visit Italdo, we know we're at the best place in the Riviera Maya. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and welcoming - the aroma of freshly baked bread and coffee fills the air and lifts your mood. The quality of the product is outstanding made with fresh ingredients and great attention to detail. The croissant are simply irresistible - from that classic to the pain au chocolat, from the almond to the baba - all freshly baked every day. Whether you go for a sweet or savory breakfast, for lunch or brunch you can never go wrong. A place where you can have a genuine hospitality. Italdo is simply a must!

The service is courteous and I appreciated that. Both times I stopped by, I had my coffee prepared how I like it and the taste was wonderful. I also had two different snacks, a peanut butter cookie and a Madeline. Both nice. The seating isn't so great - it's either inside at a little bar facing the wall or outside on a patio by the street with all the heat/humidity. The bathroom was appalling and I was shocked at how run down and dirty it was. That needs to improve.

Update 2025: Unbelievably pushy sales tactics when we attempted to buy a few pastries. The restaurant is highly focused on full meal sit-down orders and actively discouraging to-go small orders with repetitive aggressive sales tactics. Yet another former gem of “Old Tulum 2021” overshadowed by new, customer service focused restaurants eg Nimeno x4. Sad. Rating reduced and won’t return soon. Fantastic cafe with an Italian flair. Delicious pastries for dining or take out and high end breads. Highly recommended.

Every time we’re in Tulum, this is one of the first places we come back to — it’s become a must for us! The fact that it’s featured in the Michelin Guide is no surprise — the food, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch. The Asian-Mexican fusion menu is so creative and everything we’ve tried has been incredible. We especially love the shrimp tacos with that delicious ginger sauce, the chicken wings, potstickers, and of course the birria ramen — all bursting with flavor. The tuna tostadas are another standout — super fresh and perfectly balanced. The service is always fast and friendly, and the moody, stylish atmosphere makes it such a great place to relax after a day in the sun. It’s also pet-friendly, which we love — we were able to bring our dog and felt totally welcome. A perfect blend of flavor, vibe, and hospitality — no wonder it’s on the Michelin Guide. Highly recommend!

Ukami Veleta is a delightful culinary gem that beautifully marries traditional Japanese dining with the vibrant flavors of Caribbean seafood. The restaurant's serene atmosphere, enhanced by soft lighting and natural wood accents, creates an inviting space to savor expertly crafted sushi. Their omakase menu stands out, featuring daily specials inspired by the freshest catch of the day.
By far one of the best restaurants I’ve had in Tulum. I’m personally not a seafood fan therefore I had the steak sushi. It was delicious! Their edamame was amazing. I love mezcal so I had a maracuya mezcalita, they made it with fresh fruit not with artificial juice which I loved. Once again I 100% recommend this restaurant service was amazing! The waitresses are so nice and are great with explaining their menu. Will definitely come back before I leave Tulum.

I'm visiting Tulum and had a really great time here! I really enjoyed the unique fusion of cuisine. I tried the taco de cangrejo (fried crab in a crispy taco shell) and the rib eye fusion roll. Everything was delicious and a nice changeup from the typical offerings in the area. I sat at the bar with Rosas and he provided very attentive service, great recommendations, and friendly conversation. Some of the best margaritas I've had and all made with real fruit! I'd highly recommend the maracuya margarita with chile de arbol 🌶️ I went on a Thursday and there was live music. Overall I had a great time, and would highly recommend. I look forward to returning!!

One of my favorite taco places in Tulum. They only open until 3pm however, so it is hard to catch them sometimes as I rarely eat before 2/3. There are 23 flavors of guisados, stew tacos, each individually cooked in pots on the stove, which makes it clean, and no mixing of vegan, vegetarian, and meats. The flavors do tend to run out, so you have to see what is available each day. They also have delicious fresh squeezed juices and coconuts. You can have a full meal for 50 pesos here it is a steal. The tortillas are also handmade and of a really good quality, not this thin crappy ones you often see at taco stands. This is a must try taco spot in Tulum.

It's accessible from the parking lot at the Chedraui so it's easy to get to. I had the hamburger and fries and a banana/peanut butter smoothie, and everything was delicious. My wife had a turkey/ham/gouda croissant with sunny side up eggs on top. She was very pleased and said she would order it again. Our server Alexes was very cheerful and attentive.

I visited on a Friday around 5:15 PM and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. I ordered a cold brew with milk and vanilla syrup—easily the worst coffee I’ve ever had. It was undrinkable, and I ended up throwing it away. The vanilla syrup didn’t taste like vanilla at all, and the milk did nothing to help the bitterness. I came intending to get some work done, but around 6:00 PM, staff started cleaning up and informed me they were closing—despite the fact that both Google and the sign outside listed a 7:00 PM closing time. It felt like they were just ready to be done for the day, regardless of the posted hours or the fact that I was a paying customer. I won’t be returning, but I hope they improve both their product and their customer service in the future.

Have been here many times over a year and seen many different servers and staff. The food is very good, the croissants are very good, but the service has consistently been awful. Firstly it is always extremely slow service. The last time it took an hour from arriving to actually gettting an order of eggs. Secondly, occasionally there will be a pleasant server, but most often the servers are very cold and inattentive. It’s a shame because the food is great, but they cannot seem to find staff that has any sense of service mentality. Hopefully the owners see this and can get the right staff and the right training for their staff in place.

Fantastic spot to be catered to on the beach. Staff was excellent and the food was FANTASTIC. We were stuck on Mango margaritas 🍹 and downed about 10 as a couple. Family friendly. There was $ miminum if you chose the beach side service. It included a cushioned setup with umbrella. I have included a pic of my family with the restaurant behind them. Very decorative and tranquil. The actual restaurant is a beautiful walk thru to the beach but you can certainly opt to stay in the restaurant without the minimum $ requirement. I believe it was a $58 U.S. for the beach. Not disappointed at all. There are a few vendors that walk the beach offering their goods but were respectful when you said "no thank you" or waived them off. Nice merchandise though. Necklaces, cover ups, coconut man, etc... If you have been to Cancun, you understand 😁. Great Spot.

We ended up here after 3 days of eating in the hub with too loud music and way overpriced food, this place was a relief, a sanctuary of fairness and comfort food.

We were in Tulum for one night, and my girlfriend wanted Ramen. So we found this restaurant and it's truly a hidden gem. Small and very modest in appearance, but great food and service. We got a soup in advance from the house that was delicious, but especially the Ramen was very good. We got our own "chili soy sauce" on the table, so we could make it just as spicy as we like it. Would definitely recommend!

The chicken restaurant El Pollo Bronco in Tulum is a great place to get a delicious, affordable meal. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and they have a variety of tortillas and toppings available to add to your meal.
Highly recommend this unassuming spot in Tulum centro. Their roasted chicken is delicious. The ribs were also very flavourful! Seems to be a local spot so the vibe was awesome with affordable prices.

Recommended by our taxi driver as a favourite for him and other locals, and wow I can see why. The charcoal‑grilled pollo asado was amazing - juicy, smoky and exceptionally flavourful, even the breast! Portions were generous and everything was fresh and super satisfying. It’s a simple, no-frills roadside spot, where the food speaks for itself. Authentic, affordable, and downright delicious, loved by locals and visitors alike, one of our top meals in Tulum. Shame we only became aware of it for our last dinner!

As other reviewers have mentioned, the chicken here is great—if you get a fresh batch. Unfortunately, I ordered delivery through Tomato, so I couldn’t be there to ensure it was freshly made. What arrived was cold, dry, and stale. I did dress it nicely and make it virtually presentable 😂.

Maybe I went to early (it was around 1130a) but the chicken was not as juicy as i expected. Could be from the night before. It was OK.

Oh my GOD their papa con queso!! A little foil pouch of mashed potatoes and heaven. Great for some comfort food on a rainy day. I got the 1/4 chicken and that when I was really hungry and it was the perfect amount. The chicken itself was delicious too. Definitely going back! Staff was friendly. Bathroom acceptable. All in all cozy little diner tucked into the main strip.

Great place to get some of the best "broiled take out chicken'" in Tulum. This spot is perfect if you want for a small lexoensive lunch or something to snack on at the beach or back at your Airbnb. You can order the chicken in a variety of sizes (quarter,half or full) accompanied with rice lettuce fresh tortillas and a spicy tomato sauce. You can't be a half a chicken rice and some sides for five bucks. Definitely worth a visit on your trip just to taste something other than tacos.

Local pollo or chicken restaurant which is serving grilled chicken in a traditional way on a fire pit. The very tasty chicken is affordable and served with tacos, cabbage, rice and chilli peppers. Go here for a quick bite or if you like to taste the real BBQ chicken in a classic Mexican way.

Not worth the time or money. I have tried Chile relleno and tacos. Tacos are pipenapple based and after having one, your tastebuds will pray you to stop eating. It s o sweet and and not well curated. Chile relleno was under cooked and did not like the flavors at all. Food is not great and wouldn’t recommend this place.

Amazing gem of a place that is completely vegetarian. Has vegan options also. The staff are very warm and also speak basic English, enough to ask about the food and place an order. I had the 4piece Tacos with Tofu with a lemonade and a vegan cheesecake. The lemonade was fairly standard but the Tacos were mind blowing. It was fresh and refreshing. The tacos were served with a Mango Chipotle Dip which was lip smacking. The cheesecake has a different texture (more grainy and nutty) than a standard cheesecake but once I got adjusted to that I loved the taste. Would highly recommend the Tacos and the vegan cheesecake!

Hands down the best Vegetarian Restaurant in Tulum!!! The First time we went for dinner at this place, honestly they serve the best brown rice in town, My husband had a dish called Shamde (Which I had when we went there the 2nd time) Yummiest dish I've ever had!! Plus they serve the best tacos!!! No doubt this place serves the best food! Plus they serve yummy juices tooo!!! Their Mojito is the best I have had till date! I could feel the flavor of lime hit my taste buds!! I'd want to slip the recipe of the salsa they serve with chips :P Because it is that tasty!!! This place and the staff carry happy positive Vibes!! The ambiance here makes you feel like home. My time at this restaurant was a very cherish-able one!! I met the owner Cathy in my 2nd visit! A very sweet polite friendly person!!

We pipped in for something sweet to end up our lunch and took all three ice cream tastes of the day, Mayan cacao and vegan gf “brownie”. We liked spicy chocolate ice cream and mango sorbet the most. “Brownie” though promised on almond flour, was too greasy and not chocolaty at all as it is made only with cocoa powder, without chocolate added😔and didn’t hold together( guys, add chia or flax meal egg(1 tb spoon of chia/flax plus 3 tbs of water equals one egg, around 55-60 grams) Cacao- on homemade almond milk with spices added was nice and very similar to ceremonial authentic cacao, though depends on your taste to such things, it doesn’t remind European cacao for those accustomed to it. Would definitely recommend the place!

Found this little gem in the heart of Tulum just off of the main strip. A fantastic vegetarian and Vegan restaurant with a solid variety in options. We had the guacamole (freshly made and delicious), vegan Chile relleno, and mushroom veggie burger. They even made us some fresh hot chile sauces that were a combo of smoky and fire, but not too hot that it lost flavor. The staff here was above and beyond kind and took great care of us. A couple of the employees are from the States, so if your Spanish isn't that great no worries you can get along swimmingly here. A must dine spot for anyone visiting Tulum!

Such a delightful experience! I read about this place on a recent article online and SO HAPPY I followed the recommendation to eat here. The tacos were SO delicious, full of flavor and perfect portions. I ordered the asada, grilled chicken and cochinita pebil tacos, they were all SO GOOD! And all the salsas were also a great tasty spicy addition to tacos. The horchata and flan are also so good! Wonderful service from the young lady there. Everyone was so nice and great music playing on TV screens, in a very open outdoor setting. I absolutely loved this local eatery and give it two thumbs way up👍🏻👍🏻

The sushi is as good as or better than a lot sushi I've had in California. The staff are super friendly. And the garden in back with the pond is so fun!

Food was a bit hit and miss. Sushi was good but chicken we sent back as it was burnt. Only 1 guy serving tables and running the bar, he was over run with just 7 covers when we were there.

It’s Asian inspired food. My girlfriend who is a sushi guru who come from Korea and have traveled to Japan several times wasn’t impressed but since we were craving “Asian” food last couple days we were satisfied. The Pad Thai is not really pad Thai. Delicious food but the noodle was completely wrong type and didn’t even have eggs inside and was very saucy. The food is delicious but shouldn’t expect excellent Japanese food. Eat Mexican food when in Tulum.

We happened upon this lovely place when we were looking for a place to hang, wait for a bus. We were instantly greeted by beautiful people, who invited us to the beer garden. What a beautiful place. We had some beers, served to us by Paco, the warm soul who instantly made us feel so welcome and at home. We didn’t intend to but we ended up eating from their delicious menu because our neighboring guests had ordered and the smells were enticing to join! We loved it. A must when in downtown Tulum. Xx

This was a really good burger! I could not stop eating! And the other plates were good too! My wife loved it. The waiter was only slightly preoccupied, but did a satisfactory job.

Lovely rooftop spot for the evening! The breeze made it a comfortable escape from the heat, and the atmosphere was really nice. A couple of things to note for future visitors: The bill came with the tip already circled and labeled in Spanish as a “suggested” amount — but for tourists, it could easily be mistaken as mandatory. It ended up being about 20% extra, so double-check before paying. Also, they didn’t offer the burger menu at first — we had to ask for it, even though it was advertised at the entrance. It might be confusing if you’re expecting to see those options right away. Overall, still a pleasant experience, but good to be aware of these details!

A three story building with a different restaurant on each floor. Convenient location and open late. Very nice inside with good service and atmosphere. If you are looking for a really " good burger" go somewhere else. If you view the photos the hamburger bun is huge. Notice the burnt top. If you are into bread you are at the right place. The burger was very lean, dry and chewy... very disappointing.... The loaded French fries were very good. The chicken wings were good and the service was very good. The shakes and drinks were very good. Nice atmosphere but stay away from the burgers.....

Update: This used to be my favorite burger spot in Tulum. However, the last two times I ordered, the experience was terrible. The beef was unappetizing and appeared almost raw on the outside. The photo here captures when the burgers were exceptional, but those days seem gone. Additionally, they failed to follow the instructions on Rappi, and my order arrived incorrect both times. Instead of filing a claim and requesting a refund, I chose to simply never eat here again. Paying $18 USD for a burger and fries in Mexico—which is more expensive than what you’d pay in Beverly Hills—only to receive subpar quality? No, thank you. From now on, it’s Ruda burgers for me.

If you are looking for good quality seafood + good and prompt service THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. look at the picture, this is how empty the place was and still waiting that long for just 2 Tostadas.

Although it seems to be a franchise or “chain”-Restaurant the food was very good - comparable to the food you get on the streets but always in addition with a bit of a “special” (i.e. cheese crust on the tortillas).

I went to this place on a trip to Tulum. I sat at the bar and loved the bartender who was very knowledgeable about tequila, mascal, and Tulum. The food was great especially the salmon tostada. I also ordered the steak tacos, which were a little dry, and the Shrimp tacos which were good but needed some type of acid to cut the friend batter. Only issue we had was they had a sign for 2 for 1 cocktails. When the bill arrived, we were then told that the specual was only from 4 to 6 PM even though the sign did not state as such. Makes no sense also to have a special during dinner time and not 4 to 5 PM when we went.

When my husband gave the server $500 pesos too much he brought it back to him and told him. We would have not realized and he easily could have kept it, but didn't.

La Costeña is a great value restaurant on Tulum’s main street. While you will not find groundbreaking taste, the tacos tasted very good and the portion are generous for the price, they also provided salsas and limes. I liked their mix of meats and melted cheese. The restaurant closes late, which is a great convenience. We were seated quickly and the service was responsive and friendly. The room is barely decorated and feels a little tired but do not let this negatively influence you, the food is good. While not a 5-star restaurant, we would still recommend going there as part of your stay on Tulum, they are worth it. Great value.

We read good reviews about this restaurant so we went. The food was great! They still had the 5 tacos for 80 Pesos, which we thought was a great deal! The quality of food was really good. We would recommend.

Hands down best pastor tacos in all of Tulum. I have had the others and this place has the best prices and flavors by far. It seems like the later at night it is the better the meat tastes. I think it's because it's been roasting longer on the shawarma! The fresh pineapple is grilled lightly. The cilantro and onions are always the right amount. A plate of 5tacos for 70pesos never disappoints. Especially because they are open until midnight most nights. I recommend you try the pastor with cheese once!!

I first got brought to this restaurant through some Mexican’s when I visited Tulum, I wish I left a review then because I’ve waited a whole year for this meal. I would of paid any amount to eat here and I’m glad I’m back for a month. This is a beautiful place to eat anytime the staff are friendly and professional and polite. I’m actually over happy to be eating again here. This time I’ve got a take away but I’ll post of eating in too. It’s a fantastic food that makes you feel happy once eating. I really couldn’t speak higher enough of this place and recommend your try every single thing before last year and this restaurant I never eaten onions or spicy food or anything really I was a very fussy eater, but this isn’t the same without everything in. So please go enjoy yourself I promise you won’t be disappointed it’s impossible 🔥🇲🇽😍🥰✅

The food was tasty, no complaints there. However, only accepting cash is a big inconvenience. We’ve been in Mexico for 11 days, and this is the first restaurant where card payment wasn’t accepted. There were a few handwritten, dirty signs saying 'Cash Only', but most people don’t come to a restaurant expecting to search for payment info on posters. If you're the only place not accepting cards, you should clearly inform customers up front. We're living in the 21st century — not everyone carries cash these days. It's time to think more about your guests. P.s. That wouldn't have been such a big problem, but my husband couldn't withdraw any cash from 6 ATMs...

Mamazul Tulum Mezcaleria, situated in Aldea Zama, offers an upscale dining experience with a blend of Italian and Mexican cuisines. The restaurant boasts fancy decor and serves dishes like ceviche, beef ragu, and various seafood options. It is known for its artisanal mezcal bar with a chic ambiance and delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings. Visitors praise the standout mushroom taco and pumpkin taco as well as the steak served on a salt slab.
Mamazul is such a vibe! The passion fruit mezcalita with chipotle spice is insanely good… we loved it so much we came back just for more. Bonus: they have a 2-for-1 happy hour from 5–7pm. The tacos are excellent (including thoughtful and flavorful vegan and vegetarian options 🤤), the atmosphere is gorgeous, and the staff are some of the friendliest in Tulum. The bar itself is stunning, with an incredible mezcal selection to explore. Meeting Evana, the local street cat, made it even more special. Highly recommend for the full mezcal experience in Tulum! 🍹🌮✨

Had a great experience with Ricardo for the mezcal cheese tasting. He was very knowledgeable (also a wine sommelier), and gave us tips for tasting and identifying different notes through sight, smell, and taste. We were surprised that the cheeses paired really well and allowed the mezcals to shine. We also stayed for dinner and were impressed with our tacos/meal.

Mamazul Tulum delivered an unforgettable evening with standout tacos like the Birria, Pulpo, Al Pastor, and Pescado Bajo - each one packed with flavor. The Taco Tuesday Happy Hour deal was a major win, and their mezcal selection is the largest in the Riviera Maya - a must for any fan of craft spirits. The ambiance is spot on, with live music most nights of the week adding energy to an already vibrant space. Tacos start at around 80 MXN, with most mains in the 100–200 MXN range, making it a great value for the quality and atmosphere. One of the best ways to kick off your Tulum trip.

Mamozul is one of the best restaurants we’ve visited in Tulum. First of all, the interior design is stunning—words can’t do justice to the details. When it comes to fine touches in decor, these guys are professionals. The place is absolutely top-notch, a solid 10 out of 10. The service was also fantastic—super friendly and attentive staff. They were very polite and made sure we were well taken care of. There were some delays with the food, but they kept us informed the entire time, letting us know it would be out soon. So, no complaints there. As for the food and drinks, everything was exceptional. The dishes were top-tier, the alcohol was of the highest quality, and the presentation, design, and style of everything were spot on. We loved every bit of it.

El Bajon Vegan Tacos, situated in downtown Tulum, offers a delightful and affordable dining experience. While the name suggests a vegan focus, even non-vegans will appreciate their flavorful selection of tacos such as green chorizo and al pastor. The bright yellow eatery exudes a vibrant atmosphere with 90s rap music playing in the background. Guests can also enjoy a variety of fresh salsas to complement their meal.
By far some of the best tacos you’ll find in Tulum and no matter if you are vegan or not you’ll be blown away! The favors are a work of art and made with such love! Also the sauces are delicious and self serve which we like. I recommend trying one of each taco and sharing with a friend to try all the flavors

Can’t tell you how many tacos I ate here over our 5 days in Tulum. And for the price? I should/could have eaten a lot more. We were lucky enough to be staying right around the corner. Extensive vegan options, between my girlfriend and I we didn’t have a single taco we didn’t love. Definitely go check them out! Including the cacao shop attached next door. Wonderful people. Incredible food. Looking forward to eating here again when we return to Tulum

Best. Tacos. Ever. and 100% vegan! Seriously tasty filling choices. And outstanding salsa selection, and pickled beets and onion and cilantro. And only 25 MXN per taco. Wow. I wish I had discovered this place when I arrived. I’ll be back tomorrow for my last day in town. 5⭐️

El Bajón Vegan is a must in Tulum! The tostadas with the Chorizo Rojo (chickpeas & sunflower seeds) were insanely good – I ordered another round on the spot. The tacos are loaded with fillings, super tasty, and at such a good price. The vibe is awesome and honestly, even if you’re not vegan you’ll love it… but if you are vegan, this place is an absolute must. 🌮✨

Best Vegan place in TULUM!!! Unfortunately we found them on our last day in town and decided on having seconds that night, they are SOO good. We found out by the owner there’s another in PDC we will go for lunch and dinner💚 We started with a Huarache with Chorizo, and 4 tacos one of Milanesa, Pastor, Chorizo and Carnitas. Every single one of them delicious! So much so there was no pause for pictures. On the second order we got Milanesa tacos and a Carnitas tacos, if we could fit it we’d order the same thing it was so good. Make a point to visit and also try their guava dessert, a true delicacy. Below is the only pic we had enough thought to take, full joying the meal and flavors. Many thanks and blessings to the owner for sharing their gift with us!

This place is epic! I’ve never had them be rude to me before and I’ve come here like 10 times. The food is amazing. Unlike most Vegan places, they actually have about 10 different types of tacos. Most only have 1-3. They have something I’ve never even seen before called a huarache! It’s sooo amazing, must try! Also, they have very affordable prices compared to the rest of Tulum. Lastly, they make delectable cupcakes. Chocolate, Dulce De Leche, and carrot. All FIRE! P.s. they have the most authentic Cacao shop in Tulum next door to them too!!! I am from Alabama, this is all a genuine sincere review. I’ve been in Tulum one year now so I know wassup.🔥🔥

Nestled just a few blocks from the bustling main street, Pozolería La Mexicanita is a hidden gem that you might not stumble upon by chance. This charming eatery specializes in pozole, a traditional soup made with hominy, but their menu offers an array of delightful options to satisfy any palate. The friendly staff are eager to share their knowledge about the different types of pozole—red, white, and green—ensuring you make an informed choice.

No frills authentic pozole soup. Most people come to Tulum for the fancy restaurants, but this is the good stuff. Outdoor seating no aircon so be prepared to sweat a bit, but it’s worth it. Location is easy to miss if there’s cars parked out front. I eat here at least once a week. I always get the green pozole as it’s special, but it seems the fan favorite is the red. Medium is more than enough to fill you up but if you want something special order a sopa. If there’s 4 of you order a mole chilaquiles to share. You’ll see lots of locals so you know it’s the good stuff. Also as friendly on the wallet as can be. Service is always fast and super friendly. LUNCH ONLY!! Make sure you don’t miss this experience!!

I am very pleased with my pasta selection. I returned for the pizza, and it was just as amazing as before (though it could use a little more cheese). I highly recommend enjoying the pizza on-site rather than opting for takeaway. This is the kind of thin-crust pizza that’s best savored fresh out of the oven. This place served the best arrachera (skirt steak) I’ve had in Tulum. Unfortunately, when I returned to try it again, the quality had declined. The beef was no better than what you’d find at other restaurants in town, making the premium price no longer justified.

Wonderful place to visit with very good food. We ordered six tacos three with grilled fish and 3 with grilled shrimps. The tacos were perfect with lemons and guacamole sauce.

Nestled in the heart of Tulum downtown, TAQUERIA MAYA is a charming taco joint that has captured the hearts of locals with its authentic flavors and budget-friendly prices. While it may not be the most renowned taco spot in town, it certainly delivers on taste. Each dish bursts with flavor, from the simple grilled chicken to standout options like grilled Arachera steak and Mole chicken—all at an unbeatable price!
The most AUTHENTIC, DELICIOUS experience you can get and for so CHEAP!! Every dish we got was flavorful, seasoned even if you got the simple grilled chicken. My favorite was the grilled Arachera steak and the Mole with chicken (only $100 pesos!). Really tasty steak burrito too. We had our food with the freshest tortillas, made by an older Mayan woman hand making each one in house, which I LOVE!! We also tried some appetizers (like fresh quesadillas, which they call Keka) which were all good! We got 5 plates plus appetizers for about $32 US dollars and with food left over for the street dogs. They’ll probably ask you to pay with cash if you’re foreign / don’t speak Spanish though

As someone who’s tried Eggs Benedict all over Mexico, I can confidently say: Potheads finally got it right. Perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise, and just the right balance of flavor. It’s easily the best I’ve had in the country. We’ve made this our go-to brunch spot in Tulum—the 2-for-1 mimosas are a sweet bonus, and the food quality is consistently amazing. My girlfriend had the vegan breakfast burrito and absolutely loved it. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both classic and plant-based breakfast options at this level.

Wow! This is such a unique spot. You get to pick from a few different tables scattered throughout this treehouse like experience. You sit at low tables on pillows and get excellent service. They only had vegetarian dishes (no fish the night we went) but it was all so delicious. We started with some very fresh melon juice and the waiter quickly came with some fresh warm bread and bright chimichurri sauce. That’s was just the start. We way over ordered trying to taste everything, but it was worth it for leftovers. I honesty don’t know exactly everything we had or how to describe it, but it was all perfect.

Their dinner menu is small which is a good sign to me. They offer around 5 vegan dishes, 1-2 vegetarian dishes, and 2 fish dishes. I had their watermelon juice which was pretty freshing. Then, the friendly server brought out the amazing complimentary garlic bread with chimichurri sauce. So I though woah this place is going to be amazing. I ended up ordering the quesadilla, the quinoa bowl, and the mushroom enchilada. My favorite was the quinoa/lentil bowl, it was a very peculiar smokey mildly spicy taste which I had not experienced before. The enchilada came in second as it was just an okay dish, after the quinoa bowl you just expect more, a few things could be improved in this dish, the mushroom filling needed some flavour. The quesadilla was unfortunately the last, it barely had any filling , super dry. It had a creative twist with a green leaf around it but the day I came in for it , it wasn't good. So for dessert they make this amazing corn/banana ice cream. It's has some of the corn fibers in there which is different but super delicious, innovative! Tasted like a modern twist in vegan Mexican dessert. I'd come back just for that bread, the quinoa bowl, and the Ice cream. 🤩

Wonderful and friendly service. We stopped here on the way back from Mérida to Playa del Carmen. The smoothies and snacks were great, and the place itself was a wonder for our two year old to explore! Would be a great place to chill out.

Amazing food, beautiful atmostphere! Chile relleno, enchiladas, and stuffed/roasted avocados highly recommended. Try to get the nose of the dog sauce if you can. The chef Jorge is amazing, uniting years of international cooking experience with local indigenous mayan flavors and culinary lineages. A vegan paradise, the force runs strong with this restaurant.......

Vivo is a stunningly decorated and airy restaurant in Tulum that offers vegan and vegetarian cuisine. The food and drink was also delicious, with great attention to detail paid to the environment. It's an amazing place to eat, with a very natural vibe.
If you are looking for excellent vegetarian and vegan food, this is the place. Right on the main strip, the restaurant is charming and open air. We enjoyed talking to our waiter Mauro about the past and future of Tulum. Fair pricing and friendly staff. The drinks were amazing as well.

A very warm and loving environment, Angel welcomes you into this beautiful space. A dog friendly oasis in downtown Tulum. The perfect hangover recovery breakfast spinach crêpes are my favorite or açai bowls. If you’re feeling under the weather, they have elixir options for healing. The community also is host to various yoga classes.

What an incredible restaurant! The best vegan food I’ve ever had in Mexico! The place is absolutely stunning and picturesque, with such a positive vibe. The owner goes out of their way to add a personal touch for every customer. The risotto is packed with flavor, and their guacamole is so fresh and delicious! They also host various events daily, and you can even rent bikes or ATVs without needing to leave a security deposit. Truly an unforgettable experience!

This spot was the perfect place for my partner and I after working out at the Tulum Jungle Gym Pueblo which took about 8 minutes to get to on an ATV. Angel greeted us so warmly and took great care of us. The ambiance of the space is beautiful. I especially love the copal burning in the background. The food tasted exceptionally fresh and great quality. I got the spinach crepe with a hot almond matcha while my partner ordered chilaquiles and passion fruit juice. It only took about 10 minutes for our food to get to us since there was only one other guest in the restaurant. Next door there is a beautiful yoga and pole studio I cannot wait to visit next time after nourishing my body at Vivo!

Love, love, love this place. It has a chill open-air vibe, great service, and wonderful food. Being both vegan and gluten-free can be difficult when traveling. I hit the jackpot with Vivo and the most excellent service from Diego is icing on my Tulum experience cake. ❣️

This restaurant is not vegan. I wish I could write a different review but this restaurant labels almost all items as vegan when they are actually serving you animal products. I’m glad I checked review before ordering because I asked before ordering the omelette and learned they were offering me organic or not organic eggs — but neither are vegan egg substitute. This was something reviews had mentioned 1 year ago, and it’s unfortunate to see the restaurant has still not adjusted. The menu does not mention anywhere that non-vegan (animal) eggs are even an option so many customers have probably come and assumed they were getting vegan food. The server checked with the kitchen and confirmed other items like toast were available without the egg, but not much else. Egg substitute will return in one or two weeks they say — but if you’re vegan, I would suggest that you try another place or ask questions before accidentally getting eggs or cheese that are animal products. I hope the ownership here updates the menu and advertising to not mislead customers. Products that have an egg or a vegan egg option should be labeled this way rather than letting people believe they’re getting vegan items.

Very cosy place. The staff is extremely friendly and they make you feel at home. They recommended the veggie/vegan burger to eat and it was one of the best burgers I had in my life. The kitchen is extremely clean as well! If you like a good cocktail you are at the right place! We will definitely come back here!

Mexican restaurant
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Tulum's Centro area, TU Mexican Cuisine Restaurant is a delightful spot that showcases the rich tapestry of Mexico’s culinary heritage through a modern lens. The menu features an array of mouthwatering dishes, from classic ceviche and grilled octopus to BBQ short ribs, all crafted with authenticity and flair. Complementing these delectable offerings is a thoughtfully curated selection of traditional Mexican beverages, including refreshing margaritas and mezcal cocktails.
Small cozy restaurant with dim lighting. Friendly service and all our dishes were tasty. Good music in the background. Would be perfect with slightly improved lighting so one can read the menu. Also, please ask children to stay outside rather than trying to sell to your patrons.
Alexander S — Google review
the best Mexican food in my entire life!! we had the purple fish ceviche, grilled octopus, beef short rib (a little sweet, but perfectly cooked), and 3 different cocktails. the ambiance is so chill, and the music is lovely and unique. there was a guy playing the saxophone and then he switched it up to the guitar. the prices were fair and the seating was unique. it has a hang out vibe and seating, like a bar, yet the food is absolutely amazing! our server was bilingual, too.

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Tulum. I come here every time and it’s always the short rib I get. It’s incredible. I’m a foodie and this place is my favorite. Cocktails also on point. Quaint and nice atmosphere. 😍
Musica P — Google review
We dined at TU following our mezcal tasting with Sam, which was simply brilliant. And we can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! The food, fusion and delicate, Mexican from several regions and sophisticated, is incredible. So far, it's the best we've had in Mexico and in Tulum. Far from the exuberant prices of Tulum beach, the value for money is unbeatable and above all, the dishes are really delicious with as many meat and fish options as vegan and vegetarian for me. So we recommend it to anyone who wants quality local food.
Julie K — Google review
Absolutely fantastic meal and the service was equally Impressive. We visited the restaurant last year on our holiday and knew we had to come back to Mexico from Scotland to experience it again. It truly did not disappoint! The ceviche is the best I have tried! Already looking forward to my next visit.

When you are a foodie, just look at the menu. You will understand. Ingredients are key and the menu is not so big. We came here for dinner with no expectations, we only wanted to go here because we walked by it 3 times, and each time, the atmosphere was refined. From the music to the lighting and the decor. We ordered mostly all vegan options and it was mouth watering delicious. We had the mushroom with beets, the stuffed peppers and sweet potato as an appetizer. The sweet potato was perfectly cooked, super soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. Prior to our appetizer, they offered us bread with a mushroom spread. The bread was perfectly toasted. Warm and right amount of crisp. I can go on about the balanced taste of the food but I would say, it’s their sourced ingredients and chefs skills combination that made our dinner so memorable. Lastly, we had the BEST FLAN cake with chocolate ice cream on the side. The cherry on top! The services was fantastic. Always important factor to give a restaurant complete 5-5 stars. Love seeing creatively and passion at this level.

Very chilled vibe. Good music and decor. The cocktails are phenomenal, with a very intricate balance between the ingredients. The food was amazing too. The beef rib and the octopus tacos were highlights. Would definitely recommend this place. Great also for just a night out with drinks and tapas.

Taco restaurant
Mexican torta restaurant
Tacos y Tortas El Tío is a popular street vendor located at the intersection of Avenida Tulum and Calle Geminis Sur in Tulum Center. This budget-friendly spot offers delicious tacos, tortas, and gringas. The al pastor tacos are particularly recommended, with the meat always being freshly heated on the spot. Despite limited seating (only 5 chairs around the countertop), it's a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Found this place randomly when walking through Tulum. Highly recommended! There was a lot of people so we had to try it. Service was fast and the tacos and the tortas we tried were amazing. Best tacos we tried in Mexico for sure. Don’t miss it!
Riccardo B — Google review
Fantastic tacos and very good staff I accidentally gave too much cash to the guy taking my order and he was honest enough to give it all back The food was clean and flavourful. I suggest adding a bit of lime and maybe one of their three sauces they have available (this parts DIY) It’s such a vibe to sit on the street corner and eat it all up too English isn’t that strong here so be prepared to play a bit of charades. The staff were patient and happy to work with us though
Nicholas C — Google review
Absolutely love this place! Their food is the best seasoned one I have tried in Mexico. Since I don't really eat meat, except chicken, I loved their chickens gringas - the chicken was cut to very small pieces which I liked a lot. The staff is very nice as well. And they also have limonada de pepino (cucumber lemonade), so make sure to grab one.

Honestly not the best al pastor tacos I’ve ever had - tacos were mid - but I guess a good price.
Michelle V — Google review
in terms of street food, this is my favourite. it’s always packed and the waiting time is sometimes very long (we once waited up to 30min - worth it though). if they’re busy taking orders you kinda need to make your way through the front and place your order (there’s not a line for ordering). great deal (5 pastor tacos for MXN50).
Tauana T — Google review
Absolutely brilliant. Authentic street food. Food was a 10/10. Many locals also eat here. Prices totally fair. It was a great experience. You won't find exemplary kitchen hygiene here, but that should simply be disregarded. ;) Service fast and friendly! Highly recommended!

If you find yourself wandering the vibrant streets of Tulum, make sure to stop by Tamales Don Taco, a beloved local gem. This charming taco and tamale stand is run with love and respect, evident in every bite of their authentic offerings. The tamales here are not only generously sized but also bursting with flavor, served alongside a delightful spicy sauce that adds just the right kick.
Great local spot for a cheap tasty bite to eat. You have a few choices of tamales and some drinks and that’s it. 1 tamale is 30mx$. You can either sit there or take it to go.

Small outdoor seating. Delicious food and beverages. We came here for dinner on Tuesday. The tamales were finishing and were cold. It might be better for lunch or weekend. Delicious food and highly recommend it. They have vegetarian options as well

Amazing, delicious, and cheap 17 peso chicken or pork tamales. Plus, the owner, is really nice and friendly. It's a 26 year family business...such a treat. The best tamales that I've had in Mexico so far...and the hot sauce is awesome, too.

Best tamale I’ve ever put in my mouth. We went back 3 times in one day, and got some to-go for breakfast the next day. I have dreams about this place forreal.

Don Taco's tamales were the best I've ever had and the price was incredible (15 pecos as of January 2018). They were well seasoned and served with a delicious sauce that had a little spice to it which was a nice touch. I should also mention that the tamales were huge. I think most people would be quite stuffed after just two. I highly recommend this tamale stand.

We absolutely loved this place. We spent 3 nights in Tulum and went here every evening. It also has great vegetarian options - our favorite was the one with chaya, cheese and peppers. And not to forget the delicious juices. Service and the atmosphere were great as well. ($25 MXN per Tamales and per juice)
Lea B — Google review
So bomb! They had a stand set up near a grocery store yesterday and we grabbed a quick tamale on our way home from sightseeing. Fast forward to today when we couldn’t get the tamales out of our heads! Through a miracle, we found their brick and mortar location. 15 pesos each and was our favorite meal of the trip, beating out the fancy dinners that cost us hundreds. Eat these tamales.

Kaapeh Café in Tulum is a gem! The atmosphere is vibrant and cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring you have a great experience. Their menu offers a delightful variety of beverages and snacks, all made with high-quality ingredients that truly shine through in every sip and bite. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning, which can be a bit uncomfortable on hotter days. However, the overall charm and quality of Kaapeh Café more than make up for it. Highly recommend this spot for coffee lovers visiting Tulum
Nikki H — Google review
Decent breakfast spot. The food was sufficient however not completely filling. I do reckon it lacked some seasoning/flavour. Our coffee frappe had remotely no sugar (usually has some sugar). We asked for honey, which we poured in and much to our dismay, it had ants in it. Questionable cleanliness. However atmosphere is nice, it’s on a nice quiet neighbourhood with other food establishments. 5.7/10
Husnia M — Google review
The matcha (definitely not "premium/ceremonial" matcha powder) and pancakes (topped with very few pieces of fruits) were meh but the smoothie bowl was great (huge portion, yummy). However, I would have preferred fresh fruits as toppings instead of frozen fruits.

Good food and reasonable price on a nice patio. Service was really good as well. I had a fruit bowl with yogurt and the ham and cheese quesadilla. Both hit the spot. Was reasonably priced for Tulum.
Patrick B — Google review
We were looking for light, healthy breakfast/lunch, and this place surpassed our expectations - we had passion fruit juice, tropical bowl, and coffee. Unlike many places, they either added no sugar or very little sugar - I really don’t like when they add sugar in fruit juice, so their juice was so perfect. Seeds of passion fruit was not crushed, which i absolutely loved. Without crunchy seeds of passion fruits, what’s good about passion fruit? Tropical bowl was perfect, too - we wanted a very simple chia pudding without too much sugar or vanilla extract, and it was perfect. The density of the pudding was right on! Toppings were just what we wanted too, some good granola, coconut flakes, and fruits. Service was good - not too much interaction, but they did care for us. As we were looking for light healthy place to eat, this place was perfect.
Maika T — Google review
I hate leaving bad reviews but I have to be honest the services was very mid but they do spark English here! I Oder a açaí the berry are frozen if they weren’t it would be much better. But my wife did enjoy. We also ordered a chai that was not good at all. And the last thing we got was burrito that was ok. Over all I would recommend to go else where I’ve been to many other shops in tulum that are better. Sorry for the bad review I really don’t like to leave them but I like to be truthful and honest. Hopefully you guys have a better experience then I did 😫 all and all not the worst spot
