Found this gem while looking around for a Molcajete dish, and we were blown away by this little place. The chef & his son Ivan were so nice and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh made. We spoke with them for a while about this family restaurant. It was such a pleasure. The Nice Ceviche was top notch too! Must try!

We are two French girls traveling within Mexico. We went to this restaurant for the dinner. The place had been recommended by our hotel. We had a great culinary moment here. The two cocktails we ordered were absolutely delicious and the food even better. We ordered the lime soup (so good compared to other places in Mexico), a shrimp ceviche (marvelous very tasty) and the chicken tacos (also very good) ! The waiter was extremely nice and the chef was super friendly. We had time to talk with him and to share our feelings about our trip in his country. At the end, he offered us two shots of tequila ! We recommend this place at 100% ! And the price quality is a super good value (quite rare for Tulum) ! Do not hesitate to go !!!!!!!!!

Upon entering the restaurant, a customer started to tell me how good the food is, I knew I was in for a treat (she also let me try her ceviche, thank you mystery woman of Tulum). Yes I ordered that plus the beef tacos (3 total). The ceviche was so good, I had it as an appetizer but it comes as a dish. The tacos were so good, I could only finish 1 because I was trying to savor every bite and it took me forever to eat so I gave up. The place got packed real quick with tourists and locals, so I take that as a win. Customer service was very good, always someone checking in to ensure you have all you need. Had a margarita as well, so yes, I recommend this place for sure.

We found this place accidentally when my friend was looking for a place that serves “Tikin Xic” - a fish dish prepared in the Yucatan style. And I ordered a fresh catch of the day fish which was a “mero” fish which is basically a grouper. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Their pina colada and colorful guacamole is great. And the personnel is super friendly. Please note that this place is cash only. Can’t wait to come back again

This place is a hidden Gem, their Sirloin tacos were good, the Molcajete was phenomenal and their Ceviche La Choca was Amazing, it was the best fish ceviche I’ve had in Tulum so far. The service was great too. It’s a little bit away from center of town but worth the trip!!! Oh yeah their Mango Mezcalito was delicious!!

The ceviche was delicious! The mezcalitas were delicious. We had the La Tropicana and La Maracuyita! Yum! Colorful guacamole! It’s off the beaten path but walking distance to downtown.
