Cetli

Restaurant that looks like the movie "Coco" due to the decor, very nice.
Mayan cuisine dishes, excellent aperitif.
The rest good, but only for once.
It is located just outside Tulum.
Ample parking.

Very cute restaurant with good food and friendly staff.

We had a really nice and relaxing evening.
Prices are a bit higher for Mexico, but this is justified by the quality and service and it would still not be expensive by European standards.
There is no air conditioning, but there are plenty of fans, so it is still comfortable.
However, you should wear mosquito repellent!

Vegetarian options: 2 vegetarian main courses, some vegetarian starters.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to access the interior, very spacious overall.

I got here through the Michelin Guide, the place is soooo pretty, the menu is not suitable for all budgets
The food has a good presentation, but I would expect better seasoning, my companion had to ask for salt for her chilaquiles
For the experience and some good photos

It’s slightly out of the way, but it's definitely worth the trip. The restaurant is in this old house with a traditional open kitchen and a beautiful little garden. The menu has many options, but it is definitely not the usual run-of-the-mill Mexican food. They are unique native/indigenous dishes. They are packed with flavor using abstract ingredients. We got a plate with cheese plate on the house which definitely adds a beautiful touch to their hospitality. Out of the way, yes, but definitely do not miss this out!

By far, the best place I’ve eaten in Tulum. Off the beaten track, genuinely friendly staff, beautiful interior, and incredible food. House speciality is an absolute must. Margaritas were fantastic, service was flawless, an all around perfect place. No surprise that it’s been recognised in the Michelin Guide.

Definitely off of the beaten path, wonderful experience. The wife had both Margaritas and I sprang for the Mojito pre-food, what an experience. As noted by others, the free appetizer was unique and delicious, not really sure which part to recommend, but if I HAD TO the Sopa was AMAZING! For lunch/dinner, she had the Tortilla Soup and I had the Metzli (they took my menu, I don’t know how to spell it). Recommended. We almost thought against eating here. The lot was empty and I had to search for the cook/waiter/bartender, glad I did. I’m so pleased we stayed.

Recommended dishes: Complimentary Appetizer Platter

Great service, adorable environment and tasty food. We were really glad we stopped here at this restaurant.

Cute quaint restaurant on the side of the road. I loved the gorgeous artwork and colorful decor, which gave me Oaxaca vibes. Definitely on the pricier side but the food was delicious! The appetizer plate gave a really nice sampler of some Mexican foods we hadn't tried yet. I ordered the ixoxoctic (chicken enchiladas with green almond mole sauce) and it was really flavorful and fantastic! One of my favorite meals on the trip. The only downside was that one of my friends who is deathly allergic to peanuts ordered a dish that contained peanuts (even though it was not listed as such on the menu and the waiter swore up and down that it didn’t contain peanuts) and had a really bad reaction

This is our second visit to Tulum and our third visit to this restaurant. Three years ago they were amazing, and they are still the same! Humble people with a great attitude and amazing service and food! Definitely need to try it out if you are in the area.

We stayed in Tulum for only three days and ate here twice! Dinner was amazing. There’s an appetizer board beforehand with delicious, fun things on it. Breakfast was equally as amazing. The atmosphere is hands down the best of any restaurant we’ve been to. They also have a small store in the back with handmade goods. 100% returning if we’re ever back in Tulum!

I was excited to try this restaurant based on all the positive ratings but one thing I've noticed over the years is if there's not a lot of patrons that's a sign. I was the only one in the restaurant 6:00 p.m. on Thursday evening. I ordered Na'a, fish and vegetables.
The fish (whitefish) was slightly undercooked and had no seasoning at all so it was very bland. The vegetables were very bland as well with no seasoning. There was no salt or pepper on the table or anywhere in sight. Nor was there any hot sauce. After I ate I was waiting for the complimentary dessert that I had heard so much about in other reviews and when I asked if there was dessert the waiter showed me the dessert menu which looked good but they were all about 240 pesos so definitely NOT complimentary. I asked if they did complimentary appetizer and he said yes but the reason they didn't serve it to me was because it's peanut-based and I told them I had a peanut allergy so I got bupkis. The atmosphere is very eclectic but the food, at least in my case was nothing special. The service also was merely adequate and perfunctory. With so many options in Tulum I doubt that I will be back to try again.

It is really excellent, everything you see and eat is first class, we had the opportunity to visit places from Merida to the Bacalar lagoon and eat in many restaurants recommended by people who know the entire area and without a doubt Cetli is the best.
The attention from both Lalo and Viki is wonderful.
It is totally worth visiting this place and of course returning.
The prices are the least important, there are others that can cost the same or even more expensive, but here you will realize that what you ate is worth it.
Congratulations
