Negro huitlacoxe

We stumbled upon this place by accident. Upon walking in I asked to look around and saw the amazing backyard. The hostess accommodated us even though it was a Friday and very busy. The service and everyone who came to the table-was the best I have had in tulum. The food was fresh, innovative and delicious. The atmosphere, music, ambiance and the coral was perfect. Watching the open kitchen was great. It was one of our favorite meals in tulum and a top five anywhere we have been. Go here and don't miss the corn ribs, dorado app and the crème brûlée pictured below.

Some of the best food you’ll find in Tulum. We came here twice while on our trip and nearly came a third time if they weren’t closed that day.

Highly recommend trying the tamales and the corn elote. If you haven’t had Huitlacoxe before then I also suggest ordering one of the item menus with it. We had the quesadilla and it was to die for.

It is mostly outdoors so if you’re there in the hot season prepare for a bit of heat.

An Oasis of Flavor and SpiritIn the heart of the city, I stumbled upon a culinary sanctuary that feels like a portal to Tulum’s soul. Stepping inside, I was enveloped by an ambiance that marries rustic charm with an undercurrent of mystical energy—every detail whispers a story of tradition and heart.The evening unfolded with a culinary journey that began with the Quesadilla Costillas—a harmonious blend of tender, slow-cooked ribs enveloped in a perfectly toasted tortilla. Each bite was a reminder of the art of patience, the meat infused with flavors that could only come from hours of careful preparation. It was not just a dish; it was an invitation to pause, savor, and be present.Then came the Quesadilla Birria. Here, the richness of the birria danced with the earthy undertones of the tortilla, creating a symphony that was both grounding and uplifting. The depth of the broth, almost like a sacred elixir, lingered on my palate, leaving me in quiet reverence for the chef’s craft.But it was the Elotes that truly elevated the experience to something almost spiritual. The corn, with its smoky, charred kernels, was a revelation. Each bite was like a ritual, the creamy, spiced coating bringing a warmth that resonated deep within. It was as if the corn held within it the very essence of the sun, the earth, and the hands that tended it.This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a space where food becomes a medium of connection—between land and soul, between tradition and innovation. Whether you come seeking nourishment or a moment of culinary meditation, this place offers both in abundance.In a world that often rushes, this is a reminder to slow down, to savor, and to let the flavors carry you to places both familiar and yet undiscovered. It’s more than a meal; it’s a journey.

AMAZING! Our taxi driver dropped us here and we had no clue what to expect - but it turned out to be the best meal we've had since arriving in Mexico 3 weeks ago. Everything about this unassuming little restaurant is just perfect, and in a properly authentic Mexican way. The service is exceptional - the most gorgeous crew of waiting staff, each totally on point in a super friendly way. Our server was just gorgeous, explaining everything on the menu to us in excellent English; checking in regularly, but never intruding. The staff look like they're enjoying themselves and yet they never stop working. Then there's the space itself - low lit with candles, hanging plants everywhere, cute little wooden tables and chairs, typical Mexican coloured walls... Just so cute and welcoming. And finally the food - truly and proudly Mexican (or maybe Mayan? Excuse my ignorance). Inventive, original, delicious - incredible. We loved the corn ribs - such an unusual starter.
Go, go, go!!! I'd be raving about this place if I'd found it at home in London, but to find it in Tulum was just fantastic. Bravo ??? And thank you to all the staff for such a memorable evening xx

This is an easy 5 starts, non doubt about it. Food was next level. From the service, our servers were attentive, friendly, and speedy, to the flavor of the food, this spot killed. The Tamales Polito Entomentado and Elote Dorando were sublime. like, I'm not joking, the flavors of these foods was complex, savory, rich, smokey, and simply divine. This has been the highlight of my trip in terms of food. To top it off, the prices are very reasonable! Do yourself a favor sir or madam, get yourself down here and eat this food.

The food was very good, the drinks a little below average.
Very good service, friendly waiters but saturated with customers and not very distracted.

The best of the best - by far the best Mexican food we've had during our time in Mexico. Dedication, excellence and ambition is what sets them apart from the others. This is real value for money here!

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. It was recommended by a Tulum local, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint—truly Michelin-star-level food at an excellent price point. The Elote Dorado, Quesabirria, and Tamal de Pollo Entomatado are all a must-try! Service is immaculate as well. Octavio was super attentive, fast, and provided some great recommendations. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience!
