Yet another great Tulum restaurant. Nice mix of Mexican dishes. Good vegetarian options. Wife loved the veggie enchilada as did the brother in law with the chili relenos. Standout for us was the grouper filet in Mayan sauce. Flavorful poached in a tomato, garlic, onion, sour orange and special Mayan hand ground black pepper. Margaritas all made from fresh limes, brown sugar Cointreau and high quality Tequila. Chips thin & crispy. Guac as good as all the other great guacs in town. Atmosphere is funky jungle. Service friendly and solicitous. Well worth your time.

I’m not a vegetarian, but the veggie enchiladas were great. Guac was decent and I appreciated the different hot sauces. Friendly service.

Rrstaurant sympathique sur tulum.
Nous y avons très bien mangé.
Nachos apportés en attendant les plats.
Les boissons étaient très bonnes et les plats très bien réussis. Il né restait absolument plus rien dans les assiettes, je conseil amplement :)

Si algún día vuelvo a Tulum definitivamente volveré a La Malquerida, un local también recomendado por los habitantes de la zona — buena señal para no caer en una trampa para turistas…
Hay platos típicos mejicanos y en especial de Yucatán. Hay que destacar el pescado y marisco, sea en forma de ceviches o p.ej. pulpo a la plancha. Por supuesto, también hay nachos, guacamole, tortillas, arrachera, enchiladas con salsa verde, etc.
Además de platos riquísimos, aquí encuentras buenas raciones, un buen servicio y una muy buena relación calidad-​precio (ah, y buenos cócteles :-)

Great restaurant. Amazing octopus and ceviches! The tamarindo sauce was the star of the night. Nice finding!
The portions are generous so one dish per person is plenty enough. Next time I’ll try the arrachera

Fantastic food drinks and staff. We got massive amounts of tasty octopus, guacamole, and delicious salsas. This place is a huge bargain and tastes twice as good. Peaceful civilized and clean.

Ugh. I feel like everyone on Unilocal and trip advisor owes me a drink after tricking me into dining at this bland, inauthentic, overrated tourist destination.
Seriously — do not come here. A simple glance at the menu (which I foolishly did not investigate beforehand) will tell you that this is a tex mex spot attempting to appeal to Americans. Apparently they succeeded– but if you want something you can’t eat in any strip mall in America, skip this one. Only pro is the ambiance is very nice. The food is edible, but so far from good.

Super Essen, total authentisch. Schönes Ambiente, nicht direkt an der Hauptstraße, daher auch etwas leiser. Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, die Preise sind auch vollkommen in Ordnung.

This was the only dinner restaurant we returned to in Tulum because we enjoyed it so much. Was referred here by two different locals – took that as a good sign. Typical Mexi options and really delicious shrimp and fish. Corn and flour tortillas super fresh and soft. Margaritas were good, not great, but that wasn’t our top priority. They even comped us a round of tequila shots before paying the bill, something I found very smart for helping with the tip and the likelihood of a return visit. Why don’t more restaurants do that?

To all and anybody
I’m pleased to give this restaurant a thumbs up. My wife and I dined there twice in the week of February 8, and our experience was outstanding. The menu includes traditional Mexican dishes and also some Yucatan specialties that are sometime hard to find in Tulum. In addition to fine food the service is outstanding. We were especially pleased with a server named Manuel, but the whole crew was great.

What a phenomenal experience! My wife and Inlaws are here a few times on our journey through Tulum, we had lunch once and dinner twice, and each and every time we left with a great impression. I recommend the jalapeños stuffed with cheese as the appetizer. The pulpo a la plancha with garlic, and can’t go wrong with the aracherra. And the drinks were all nice and strong very tasty. The tequila of the house was always welcomed!

We arrived hungry for Mexican food. We were told there was no table but we could be seated at the neighboring pizza restaurant but order from the Mexican menu. Our waitress was sweet and efficient. After an hour wait the owner told us they were busy but we were next on the grill. Almost immediately we got our very cold food. We complained and were not charged for the inedible meals.

we ate pizza here which was good but nothing special. Armondo, our server was awesome though, bringing out a bottle of tequila to top off our margaritas and providing a few free shots after our dinner.

This place has very good Mexican food. It was Almost 10pm, we were tired and just wanted to eat a snack and go to bed. We saw the place and it looked nice, clean, and the menu looked good.
The Nachos were fantastic! The best ones I’ve had so far! The prices are affordable and the atention was very good. Definitely coming back tomorrow for breakfast!
