I particularly enjoy their El Capitan tacos with shrimp. Find the most cheerful waiter, and you're good to go.

Its very easy to get to from the tulum beaches, as its right on 15 when you come out of the state park. We needed a light lunch so we didnt feel too tired and they offered a good variety of seafood. It can be prepared in several different ways, fried, grilled, spicy, butter/garlic, etc. English was widely spoken. Cost was average for Tulum, especially right off the beaches.

I asked the waitress for some hot sauce to add some flavor to my soup. She never brought it, but was quick to ask for a tip when paying the tab. Also ordered a shrimp cocktail. It was nothing spectacular. This place was extremely expensive for what it offered. I am mexican and would say it was mediocre. Nothing spectacular. Go somewhere else if u want seafood.
