Best pad thai in Tulum, hands down. Beef curry was solid but the lamb one&rsquo;s my favorite. Heads up&mdash;around 8 PM it gets packed, so go early or you&rsquo;ll wait.

The shrimp mole verde taco was the star&mdash;shrimp cooked just right, mole rich and bright. Corn esquite creamy, seasoned well. Solid four stars. Service friendly, space nice. Maybe a bit slow mid-meal, but I didn&#39;t mind much.

Geraldo provided outstanding service during our meal, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. The food was top-notch!

A&ccedil;a&iacute; bowl was fresh and the green juice hit the spot. Chill little plant-based place, wifi worked fine. Street outside is pedestrian-only, kinda nice to sit and watch people.

The smoked brisket sandwich was solid&mdash;tender, good flavor, on par with decent BBQ spots back home. Homemade pickles were a nice extra.

Came for the live music, stayed for the cheap drinks. Bartender was super attentive even when it got busy. Prices are way better than other spots around here. Just wish they had more seating, we ended up standing most of the night.

Came for the day pass and honestly the water was so clear I didn&#39;t even mind the wait for service. Staff were nice about it though. Beach area is clean, which is not always easy to find around here. Decent price for what you get. 🌊

Been coming here for years and the poc chuc never disappoints. Still tender, still that same home-style flavor. Just remember cash only, they don&#39;t take cards.

Stumbled in off the main road. Place has that colorful, laid-back vibe. Yellow curry and crab fried rice were solid. Drinks did the job too. Good spot if you just wanna chill and eat.

Ceviche was fresh, grilled fish cooked right. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Service knew the menu well. Solid spot if you&#39;re near the beach.

The Mezcalitas are the reason to come here. Smoky, a little sweet, and they actually hit. Everything else I tried was fresh, cooked right, prices felt fair for the amount. Plenty of veggie options too, which I didn&#39;t expect. Just go for the drinks and a couple tacos, that&#39;s the move.

The pizza here had that proper thin, crispy crust&mdash;hard to find in Tulum. I paired it with a decent glass of red, nothing fancy but it worked. Desserts were a nice way to end. Service was friendly, kept it relaxed.

The grilled octopus was spot on. Smoky char flavor came through real nice, and the mezcalita cut through it perfect. That combo worked better than I expected. Wish the portion was a bit bigger for the price, but the taste made up for it. I&rsquo;d order that again.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and honestly the aguachile was the star. Fresh, tangy, just the right kick. Pi&ntilde;a colada was solid too, probably the best I&rsquo;ve had around here. Prices felt fair for what you get, especially compared to some spots in Tulum. Place was a bit busy but worth it.

The pulpo here was the best I had all week in Tulum. Grilled just right, tender, not rubbery at all. The whole fried fish was crispy and fresh too. Margaritas were solid. Place is a bit off the main strip, but that&#39;s fine. Only thing is it took a while to get the food, but whatever. Worth it for the octopus alone.

The vibe changes depending when you show up. Beach was clean even with the seaweed, music was on point. Pool&#39;s small though.

The beef burrito here was seriously tender, maybe one of the best I&#39;ve had in the area. Outdoor seating is nice, feels pretty relaxed and close to nature. Got a fresh juice too, simple and clean, no extra sugar. Place gets a bit busy around lunch but it&#39;s fine. Solid spot if you&#39;re nearby and want something easy.

Stopped by for a quick bite with my friend and honestly the al pastor tacos were the move. Super simple place, nothing fancy, but the flavors were on point. Prices are really decent too, especially for Tulum. We grabbed a few and just chilled outside. Wish they had a bit more seating but whatever, totally worth it if you&#39;re craving tacos without the tourist markup 😄

The cocktails and vibe were really nice&mdash;dim lighting, comfy seats. Fish of the day with risotto was the best thing we ordered. Other dishes were just okay though, and honestly a bit pricey for what you got. Not mad about it, but wouldn&#39;t call it a must-return spot either.

Location&rsquo;s convenient, that&rsquo;s the main reason I picked it. Staff were polite, no complaints there. Food was decent&mdash;nothing mind-blowing, but solid. Prices run a bit high for what you get, though the setting makes up for it somewhat. Just factor in a possible wait before you&rsquo;re seated. Fine for a business lunch if you&rsquo;re nearby.

Stopped by for lunch and honestly didn&rsquo;t expect much, but the tortilla-making thing got me. They just handed us the dough and let us press it ourselves. Corn taste was super fresh. Kinda messy but fun. Prices were fair too. I&rsquo;d go back just for that.

Roy made the whole visit honestly. Great recs, super attentive. Food was solid and margaritas were on point, not too sweet. 👍
