    Food was good! Ambience good. I don’t believe this is true Mediterranean food - more seafood!

    Creative flavors in an enchanting ambience right by the beach. High tables, normal and low tables crate a very warm atmosphere where you can find people in casual beach clothing along others with flashy dresses. The food is an excellent presentation of Mexican flavors with emphasis on fish plates. We loved the shrimp casserole the grouper the sea bass ceviche among others but everything we ordered was great. Service was a little slow but I think that’s to be expected around here.

    Locale bello, piatti buoni, servizio buono anche se con un pó troppa fretta (ma vedo che in messico funziona così). Ma decisamente troppo troppo caro. 2 antipasti, 1 pesce diviso 2, un cocktail, una birra, 2 mezcal. 300 euro

    We were in Tulum for 10 nights. This was the best food we had anywhere! We ate the lobster with melted butter. The mashed potatoes were the best we ever had, in that they were 75% mashed and 25% cubed potatoes. My husband is a mashed potatoe connoisseur and he remarked “In my 70 years, these are the best”. The shrimp soup was delicious also. There was a specialty cocktail with tamarind in it and small cubes of pineapple that was incredible. Atmosphere wonderful.

    We came right after sunset with two kids and the vibes were cozy (aka dim lighting and lots of nice loungy tables). We had seen some live music walking by the other nights but we did not have live music the night we went. The food was good and portions were healthy but expect to pay the same beach prices you pay at other beach restaurants. All in all a very nice experience for the whole family and it was nice to sit beach side (vs jungle side).

We apologize that there was no live music during your visit, but we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the food and ambiance. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable experience with us!
