We shared guacamole (the BEST I've had) and I had the cochinita pibil tacos, which were delicious. Our server brought over some onions and habanero sauce, which was also great tasting and fresh. It was a nice day and we sat out in front at the entrance. What a wonderful dining experience!

On our way back to town, this little gem seemed worthy of a stop/look see what with minimal options in town. The simple yet very inviting atmosphere (clean white table cloths, sense of pride in business, smiling mesero ready to greet us) caused us to look at menu which offered classic Mexican fare at very reasonable prices considering it is steps outside the gate at Coba ruins and immediately across the street from the central lake in town. The waiter, super friendly and gracious, had cold beers to our table pronto and gave feedback on the menu both in English to my cohorts and humoured me in Spanish as I stumbled along trying to practise my long ago university Spanish. Outcome from all that was fresh and tasty sopa de limon (meal in itself) x 2, terrific chicken enchiladas in tomato sauce x 1 order, and pork and chicken tacos (4 per order) x 3. Lunch for 4 with a beer each was 535 pesos (before tip). Great local find.

We've been staying in Tulum for a week and this was by far the tastiest food we've had. Our waiter was so friendly, brought a high chair for our babe & directed fans at us to cool us down. We ordered too much, as usual, Poc Chuc, chicken fajitas, cheese empanadas, guacamole, horchata & jamaica, everything was delicious.
