Beautifully decorated with meaningful indigenous Mayan and Mexican arts and crafts. Then there is the food. Truly delicious and carefully plated and presented. This restaurant is not to be missed when in Tulum.

We debated staying but decided that the raving Yelp reviews warranted trying out the food. So thankful we stayed! The complimentary appetizer plate came out just as pictured for everyone else. The tortilla soup (not pictured) just tasted like spicy tomato so I'd pass on that in the future. The highlights of our meal were the stuffed pepper (house specialty) and a surprise peanut candy with our bill. The boiled peel and eat shrimp in the huitlacoche dish needed something else but this was remedied by peeling them and letting them soak in the sauce for a bit. Go here! Get the stuffed pepper. It was so much better than anything we ate in the center of town and 1/3 of the price of our one dinner on overpriced Tulum Beach.

The flavors on the chile en nogada are so insanely good, and we loved the cheese enchiladas. Such delicious sauces. Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Our only regret was not going back a second time!
