The tuna could have been good but was cut in large chunks so the sesame crust just fell off whenever I tried to eat it. A different preparation or presentation would easily improve. They were out of avocados so we couldn't get the guacamole we ordered. Instead, we got the tropical salad which was not good. It was mostly lettuce vs fruit and the lettuce was wilted. If there was dressing on it we could not taste it. It wasn't very tropical - mostly apples? Disappointed based on menu description. Expected more -especially with the delicious and readily available produce in Tulum. Our server was very friendly. Drinks were a little slow coming but refreshing. We really liked the watermelon, mint, cinnamon drink - creative and tasty. The prices were reasonable. We really like the decor of the restaurant and the setting a lot. Bring bug spray! The mosquitos were terrible even compared to most of the jungle-side restaurants. Overall, it was a pleasant lunch. We would probably give it another try if we were here longer. Nothing stood out as outstanding but was good overall.

We felt tired after a long flight from Vancouver and decided to go there and rest then. Everything was amazing there - food, service, ambiance itself and especially the owner Don who came by our table personally to greet us and have a little chat about this and that.
