50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Tulum

“I recently visited Encanto and was lucky enough to be served by Cristian. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm smile and exceptional service.

Cristian demonstrated deep knowledge of the menu, offering incredible suggestions that made the dining experience even more special. He was extremely attentive and helpful.

He created a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, which made a big difference to our visit.

I will definitely be back soon!“

“The food is delicious, they specialize in seafood, 1 taco can cost you approximately 5 to 7.50 dollars depending on the exchange rate. The service was good, very friendly, the waiters give you some tortilla chips with a fish broth at home, the only drawback was that they brought me the wrong bill that if I were one of the customers who didn't pay attention I would have paid practically double .“

“The food here is exceptional. I’ve tried every restaurant in Tulum you want to try and this is the first and only one that I fell in love with. Every dish is truly magical and the prices are just perfect.

Back here 5 years later and this place has the same good prices and quality as before!“

“Kokoro in Tulum is the best Japanese restaurant I have ever eaten at. I love sushi and the quality and freshness of the sushi in this restaurant is incredible and the meat that my dad ordered was Wagyu, it is so soft that it melts in your mouth. Simply delicious. The pleasant atmosphere and the decoration of the place is good, a perfect place for a special night whether with family, as a couple or with friends. The service and attention of the staff was excellent, always making sure that everything was perfect and serving us quickly. I loved how secluded and quiet the place is, very different from other restaurants. We celebrated my mom's birthday here and it was an unforgettable night. Without a doubt, the best sushi in Tulum and a place not to be missed“

“This place is amazing! Was highly recommended and I can see why. We got here a little early and mosquitos were a little annoying but we are sooooo glad we stayed!! Food was 10 out of 10, music was 10 out of 10, and service was 10 out of 10. Will come back when I visit from MN, USA! Thank you for a great dinner (and Alejandro was a great server!)“

“A Must-Visit in Tulum BAL NAK' offers an exceptional dining experience with its stunning jungle setting and top-notch service. The contemporary Mexican cuisine is both creative and delicious, with standout dishes like the duck breast and the chocolata clams . The cocktails are equally impressive, especially the verde jungla. For an unforgettable meal in Tulum, BAL NAK' is a top choice. Highly recommended!“

“A very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Exorbitant prices (but you know). The two ceviches were good, except for the prawns drowned in a sauce that disturbed their flavour.
Out of two drinks, one very good and the other worth reviewing.“

“Good parking and good service, the sauces are very delicious and in general yes delicious and fresh, but the food is very simple, nothing out of the ordinary, for the prices they manage, they would have to raise the quality of the food preparation and the portions they handle.“

“We stayed in Tulum for two weeks and we visited Posada Margherita 4 times for dinner. Hands down our favourite place, the service was amazing, delicious food and just a beautiful peaceful warm setting. Really very special. The staff were so friendly and we were given some complimentary ice cream on our last evening in Tulum. Highly recommend!“

“Nice staff, typical and tasty Mexican food at fair prices (MXN$ 150 - 300). It’s a good option if looking for a less expensive restaurant near the beach.

Remember that suggested tips are just that — staff will happily accept if you lower their
suggestion to e.g. 10%.

Vegetarian options: Tacos, …

Parking: Free for guests.

Kid-friendliness: Baby cats playing around.

Wheelchair accessibility: Next to main road.“

“I went here almost everyday during the 2.5 weeks I was in Tulum. The tacos are better than anywhere else I tried and the prices are the best you’ll find too. They’re also open late, perfect for when you’re enjoying downtown Tulum’s nightlife.“

“The fans are very strong, making your hair a mess, but it's better to have one lol.

Despite mentioning on Google that it closes late, in reality it is not quite like that. We went to celebrate our birthday and the dishes were collected and the bill arrived at the table for us to pay because it was going to close.

The food itself is very tasty, the prices are high, but it's a good place.“

“No good, I've gone from restaurant to restaurant and this one got my applause with its Chamicos barbecue, DELICIOUS. We ordered the ones for 2 people and there were 3 of us and there was plenty of it, very delicious, fair prices, good service.

Kid-friendliness: It has a small area for children“

“They need better attention from their staff, cleaning tables, putting napkin rings, sauces and more, you have to be asking for the waiting times that can be improved and better air conditioning. They have a good clientele, the prices with the service they offer are high... the place has potential. ...“

“We are looking for good fish and we found it!You choose your fish according to your desire and availability! The chef will prepare it for you straight away!It was excellent, I enjoyed it!The staff was friendly too!I recommend if you want to eat good fish than Tulum!Thanks to them ! :)“

“Very tasty tacos in a quiet atmosphere for little money. The meat is fried without oil, but there are delicious sauces that you can make yourself. You can watch how the food is made. Very nice and friendly service, who also speaks great English. Definitely coming back tomorrow.“

“It is a place with excellent seasoning, clean and with attentive and fast service.
It is not a place with luxuries, it is a place to eat delicious food. You may have to wait because the place is not very big but as soon as you have a table your food will be served quickly.“

“The food was delicious. Particularly the garlic shrimp and the mixed empanadas. The portions are big. What I didn't like at all is that they take the tip themselves and add it to the bill without your permission. That doesn't seem right to me at all.“

“I absolutely loved their aguachile, their ceviches, and their Tuna Tostadas. The food is to die for. It's very easy yo find and in spite of being in an expensive part of Tulum, the food was extremely affordable. If you visit Tulum and like seafood, this place is a must for a cognozeur.“

“I had one of the best grilled octopus that I’ve ever had. It was so delicious, tender, and had amazing seasoning. The price was a bit high but it matches the flavor and quality. The grilled octopus cost 400 pesos. The service was as great and the waiter was so nice and smily. The ambiance was also nice. I highly recommend this place.“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The stone crab was fresh and flavorful but the corn texture was different from what I'm used to. The sauce flavor made up for it. The crab empanadas were huge and delicious.“

“From what I saw, their forte is fried fish, in the place they let you choose the fish you want to fry, the heavy one looks quite fresh, one of the bad points is that it does not have parking

Vegetarian options: They handle heavy fried, if you eat in the place they give you salad

Kid-friendliness: Well, it is a family restaurant type, it is suitable for anyone

Parking: It does not have parking, parking is on the street“

“Can be pricy, so I recommend going with a group of you get sections. If you’re a couple you can get a table hopefully in the shade for $70USD per person.

Over all the vibes were great, service was great, food was great, music was great, beach was great. Everything was great!“

“After staying in high-ranked hotels in Playa del Carmen and Isla Mujeres, I didn't think I could have a better experience. I was wrong. Casa Altamar is absolute heaven. This oasis of relaxation, beauty and charm is by far the best place I've ever been. The staff is incredibly welcoming and caring, and the hotel itself is just stunning and so comfy. The most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the best beach and pool, great food.. it was my first time in Mexico but definitely not the last - I have no doubt I'll be back in Casa Altamar. Arturo and his team are absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for everything!“

“It has a wide variety of rolls, the quality of food is very good. Outside of the rolls the menu is basic but it does the basics.
The ramen ? was delicious ? and has details that enhance the dish.
The edamame were also of excellent quality and the preparation with garlic and salt was very good. I suggest adding a variant using lemon and soy sauce.
The very fresh passion fruit water has a lot of ice. I recommend you order the drink with half.“

“Very delicious seafood in Tulum, it is like the perfect balance between what a Mexican and a foreign tourist expects when it comes to Mexican food. The garlic octopus was soft and delicious, the portion seemed small for the price but the accompaniment it came with and the flavor of the octopus were worth it. My favorite dish was the fried fish, it was perfect, crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside.
There is no parking but it is easy to find on the streets around, just be careful not to park on a yellow line.“

“Starting with the prices, very fair, and to this is added the flavor and good vibes, they welcome you with a table of very delicious and addictive sauces, the green one could be eaten by the spoonful, the chipotle one, uff! The tacos! I love the Ola Gobernador, it is a different recipe, because they are Baja style, it has nopalitos, cheese and the shrimp is seasoned in a deli marinade, and octopus al pastor!!!!!! Delicious!! I love the coconut burrito! And my other favorite is the shrimp aguachile toast ? You should try their horchata water too. And it is complemented by the good vibes of the place, they have board games and an Arcade board to have some challenges, it gets good! I really recommend it :)“

“Stopped here with a group and just wanted sum drinks and tacos
Food was good and the service was good.
The guy who waited on us was very attentive to our needs...
We ordered alot of tequila and beer..
Overall this place is nice and clean.
I will go here again if in the area ...“

“Excellent place to enjoy Thai food, taking into account that Tulum is very expensive for everything, they have a very good quality-price ratio, good portions, with total Thai seasoning, great natural waters and something very important, the service was very good, You see that they know what they are doing, the establishment is quite modest but it has A/C for hot weather, the only thing that I personally did not like was the volume of the music from the neighboring establishment, one would expect to eat a little more quietly , but other than that everything was excellent, congratulations, much success to continue coming to enjoy your food.“

“Good, beautiful and affordable prices in Tulum. They have very good seasoning, very good service. It is located outdoors, it has fans. Although its location is very good, it is right at the intersection of the highway to Cancun and Cobá, so many trailers pass by, the experience does not diminish. Very good place for breakfast and it seems to have a good atmosphere at sunset.“

“The flavor of the crusted shrimp and octopus tacos ARE... the best!!

Also the coconut shrimp!

The atmosphere is rich, a very pleasant patio and if you eat in the center there is also the other place, simpler but the flavor is just as good“

“La comida es muy buena, las bebidas igual, lo unico que me dejo un poco que desear fue el servicio del mesero varias veces le pedi agua, limones y tenia que recordarle porque no los llevaba desconozco si se debio a que estaba la pelea del Canelo Alvarez y estaba prestando mas atencion a la pelea“

“Here's a review you can use: A Hidden Gem in Tulum – Casa Maria During our recent trip to Tulum, we stumbled upon Casa Maria, a small but beautiful Mexican bar and grill located right on the beach. This quaint restaurant exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely perfect—authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and every dish was cooked to perfection. The ambiance added to the experience: relaxing, cozy, and with a beachfront view that made the setting feel magical. The customer service was impeccable—every staff member was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Casa Maria may be small, but it has a big heart, delivering a dining experience that is simply unforgettable. If you're ever in Tulum, make sure to visit this hidden gem!“

“Came here with my hubby, and it was amazing! The View, service and food. Definitely affordable vs other restaurant that offers a “nest” experience. Emmanuel, our server was attentive, and showered us with free drinks on the house!! Will come back ASAP -Hang“

“The place is incredible! The decoration left me speechless, super comfortable, in fact we had a great live salsa band playing that made us dance non-stop! I highly recommend it if you want to have a good time, talk, eat and drink delicious things. Specifically, Juan attended to us and had excellent service on his part, the truth is in general from everyone, super friendly. You can't miss it! ;)“

“One of the emblematic places of Tulum. The service, food, drinks, and atmosphere are always very good.I have been visiting this restaurant for over 5 years and it is always a necessary stop.I think its seasoning is very good, and it is one of the few places that does not try to sell to tourists, but rather preserves its local seasoning.Obviously one of the dishes that I most recommend is aguachile, my favorite is in black sauce. Chinese rice is also one of their best dishes.Thank you!“

“In a word: wow. The owner introduced himself and described the specials right as we came in, and his recommendation was spot on. Delightful presentation and good portions; very creative and cohesive menu. There was a confusion about one of the items we ordered, so he took it off our bill, and gave us shots of mezcal for the trouble. Excellent atmosphere and good service. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something different and a pleasant dining experience.“

“Delicious place to eat with excellent atmosphere and customer service. The super friendly and attentive manager. The place is spacious with seats and tables outside and inside. We ordered several tacos, a marlin and shrimp burrito (recommended) and a chilorio crust (super recommended). The taco we loved the most was the soft shell crab (one of our favorite foods on our entire trip). The portions are of good size. The drinks are also excellent with a great selection. We would definitely return.

We would defend him come back!“

“we had the cordon blue and the mexican burrito . it was amazing and the margaritas are amazing and at great price. I had spent almost 2k usd in two days going to the beach bars. come to downtown tulum and come to this place the music was awesome and the prices were great I am literally here now!! not a fake review Im a real person IG Beguis._v ? The music right now is like reggaeton house mix ??“

“It is a very good place, the food is very delicious, we ordered a pizza and ravioli in bolognese sauce.The ravioli were well cooked, almost al dente, well filled with ground meat and with plenty of parmesan, the pizza bread was perfectly crunchy and with a lot of artisanal flavor.It is very good to go to a dinner as a couple or as a family, the only drawback is finding parking since it is very close to the main street and at night there is a lot of activity, but the service is good and the staff were very friendly ☺️ ☺️☺️“

“Good pretty and cheap. The tacos are good in terms of price-quality compared to other taquerias in the area. The flavor is good and they are not as greasy as in other taquerias, plus the people who serve are friendly and diligent.

Parking: You can park on the street for free but it will depend on the time of day.“

“Amazing place, food and staff. I felt like being at home. The meat is wonderfull and Julio is the best waiter - very kind and keen to satisfy the client! I strongly recommend this place if you are in Tulum and you would like to eat very good food without spending a lot of money (very difficult in Tulum).“

“The staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions! It was a cool location and the food was some of the best vegan food we have had in Mexico! The vegan cheese was really yum and there was lots of variety ! The hibiscus quesadilla was a fav!“

“The chocolate battlements and the oysters are the best. Good price . Good portion. The plate with various seafood is also very delicious, as is the tuna toast. Also the flavored micheladas beers and the margarita. The place needs a little more cleanliness but it is delicious and they serve you well. Be careful that some prices are high due to the quality of the product.

Parking: Zama village“

“Good but don't pay attention to the tiktoks that it is a must see. Nothing special, it's an expensive place but you can stop by to have a beer for $100 and see the place and take a photo, but it's not wow like the videos say, something I could definitely omit.“

“Third week in Mexico and I felt like trying another cuisine for a change. The nearby restaurant was a hit. The sushi was delicious, both crab and tuna, and the nigiri were amazing. Plus delicious gyoza dumplings and a rice dish, everything tasted perfect. In addition, very nice service and a wonderful view of the sea. I highly recommend this place!“

“I feel bad I didn’t take photos because I’ve overall been unimpressed with the last 7 days of meals in Cancun and Tulum - but this place hits it out of the park. Axel was an amazing waiter, the food tasted great, with finally some spice. We ordered coconut shrimp, prosciutto and basil pizza, and fish tacos. (Which were better than the “worlds best fish tacos across the street in my opinion) Alfredo noticed we loved the spices and even offered us some other special habanero sauce. 10/10 would recommend dining here.“

“This is a lovely place to have a drink (and great seafood!) in Tulum. We went there twice for cocktails (the Never Say Never is out of this world!) and took our sweet time sipping and talking while watching the pelicans and other beautiful birds dive for fish in the cove. Highly recommended!“
