Seems to be a spot that's very popular among tourists and locals alike. I've read that they have the best street tacos or al pastor meat in town. Bonus points for being such a great value. The feel of this place has a very local taqueria/street taco feel to it. As in you feel like you've discovered this great locals spot, despite obviously half of the clientele here being fellow tourists. The service here is super quick and friendly. Because I was on a personal food tour (I literally just came from another spot), I tried to eat as little as possible with really experiencing what this place has to offer. I ordered a panucho de asada and an al pastor taco both con queso (it's melted onto the tortilla for the taco). I also ordered an Indio beer to wash it down. This was all less than 100 pesos (as of 5/2024). Both the panucho and the taco were very delicious and the light beer was good for the sweltering heat outside and heat in the salsa. I have to say their al pastor was really good. And not to take away from them at all or anything, but I have to say that I'm also very spoiled from the al pastor that we have in Los Angeles. I would say it's on the level. Definitely a great spot to have street tacos in town. I can see why so many people love this place. This place is located in a super busy area of the busiest street in Tulum. At least I think it's the busiest area. I recommend this place for sure to scratch that taco itch for a really reasonable price.
We're a bunch of gringa bitches just finishing up a cenote tour and our amazing tour guide brought us here for tacos. This was before anyone on our trip got food poisoning so we were naive, raw, and as adventurous as it was going to get during this trip. A bunch of people ordered horchata which was served via what appeared to be a repurposed poland spring bottle. I tried it, it was very good. They have an actual vegetarian section of their menu which was exciting. I was initially planning to order the cheese enchilada. Against my better judgment I was convinced to try a panchuco due to comments made by someone else in the group. I also ordered a cheese empanada. Our tour guide ordered us some guac for the table. I went to wash my hands while the guac arrived and it had already been dug into by the time I got to it but it was absolutely fantastic. ORGASMIC. Some of the best guac I've ever had. I just wish there were some more chips. By the time our individual shit arrived, amnesia must have set in because I completely forgot what I ordered, thinking I ordered the cheese enchilada. I was not pleased with all of the mushrooms I saw on the panchuco and flagged down the waiter (when I say I, I mean someone else who has the balls to do so). But the waiter, with a better memory than I, corrected my shit real quick and told me that's exactly what I ordered and at that moment, I realized my mistake. Embarrassing. I don't eat mushrooms so I could only eat the empanada, which was very good. I handed over the panchuco to GF who, when asked how it was, says, "mushrooms". The people who got the al pastor really liked it. Everyone ate everything. Seems like cheap, authentic, mexican food.
Try: Tacos Al Pastor! Why: Great cheap eats when you're craving tacos! Tacos Al Pastor were great and packed with meat. Table has onion and cilantro as well as additional salsas. Loved the green salsa. The steak in Taco De Asada were a little dry. We washed it down with horchata (conveniently in water bottle) and local Tulum Lager. Note: Inside and outdoor seating. Speedy service. Cash only. Great for a quick bite!
Hands down to the best al pastor meat that I had anywhere! The pork was perfectly seasoned and smoked. I ordered mine on queso taco and also tried it on queso sopas - loved them both!!! This place ended up being my boyfriend and I's go to dinner place in Tulum. During the entire trip, I believe we went here 3 or 4 times. Not only the food was amazing and very affordable, the service was also good as they serve your food fresh, hot and flavorful without waiting too long. This is a very busy restaurant and they are located on a big corner of the street. It can get very loud! We also went there one night and there was a group of people playing instruments inside.
If you're in Tulum and looking an an affordable, authentic experience I highly recommend this spot. Tacos are $1 each, beers are $2, the service is fast and friendly. We ate here a few times while in town, you just can't go wrong with the Al pastor tacos, simply delicious. You can order them to go but I suggest eating there because they have an awesome salsa bar which also has a fermented cabbage salad to put n top of the tacos that's delicious! Some things to note: it's cash only, parking can be tough so expected to walk a few blocks and there's no ac inside.
Note: cash only Great spot to grab some tacos or try some of the other Mexican dishes on the menu. Very veggie friendly too! For a little over 10 USD total, my friend and I were able to fill up on some delicious food with one drink each. Definitely the cheapest meal we had in Tulum! They have a bunch of different items on the menu I'd never seen before, like salbutes, sopes, gringas, etc. so we decided to be adventurous and tried one of everything in addition to getting tacos. I tried 4 items on the menu, and and while they were all similar, I'd have to say the sope was probably the most interesting one for me since the base is a thicker masa cake and not just a tortilla. Of the three meats, the al pastor was definitely the best. I found the chicken and ground beef a bit on the dry side. Don't sleep on this place if you're visiting Tulum.
Best bang for the buck tacos in Tulum. We come here several times a week. Always good and always consistent. Can't go wrong here
Really nice small plates with some authentic Mexican street food! The tacos, tostada, sopes, gorditas were all bite sized small plates and fun meals! Vegetarian dishes had beans and lettuce with salsa and chicken dishes came with shredded chciken. Adding queso was an interesting take as it was fried cheese unlike the melted queso we have in Texas! The restaurant space is open and airy with street side tables as well. Service was fairly decent and quick. There's some street parking available near the area too.
Best place for late night tacos. I got the Al pastor tacos which tasted so fresh. They let you top it with cilantro, lime and onions yourself so you can adjust to taste. The red and green sauces weren't overly spicy which was perfect to my liking. The ambiance of the place was lively and fun during the night. They had a harpist playing live music which was so cool.
Excellent!!! While we were doing our PCR test we ask the doctor where was the best place to eat Tacos In Tulum. Without even thinking he recommended this place. Omg! He was right ! Awesome taqueria!! This is not a fancy Taqueria or Restaurant but has fabulous tacos!!! Come here with cash because they don't accept cards. We sat down outside and the server came right away. The menu is not huge but has everything you need to eat in Mexico , Tacos lol. We ordered 6 tacos , chicken , beef and pork. The tacos are small but for some reason you get full after eating 2 or 3. We ordered some guacamole too. Everything was fresh and delicious!!! Tortillas are homemade ofc!!! Food ! Guacamole with chips! 10 of 10! Homemade and extremely fresh!!! Beef taco - 10 of 10 ! Mouthwatering !! Chicken tacos ! 10 of 10 ! Exquisite!!! Pork tacos ! 10 of 10 ! Heavenly!!! If you come to Tulum, this place is a must!!! Remember! Is not fancy but the food is great!!!
Simple and tasty! My favorites were the beef sopes and salude. The grinda had a really nice tortilla. The chicken was a bit dry. Horchata was refreshing. The place is colorful and casual. They had english menu. Tacos are pretty small so I'd recommed 3 or 4 per person. Something weird was that they did not give us an itemalized bill. The price did not seem to add up so when I asked for itemized bill they waiter was acting like he didn't understand what I was asking for.
Came here to get some famous tacos to-go. Tried the al pastor (pork) taco, the carne asada (beef) taco, and the al pastor empanada. Out of those 3 items, I really only enjoyed the al pastor taco. The carne asada one was too dry, the empanada was decent but made in corn flour which I usually don't like over wheat so that was a bummer. Service was quick, someone was English-speaking to take our order..and best of all, all this cost $2 USD! Recommend? Yes if you're looking for a local town restaurant to try in between the beach club restaurants, super authentic. Return? No...only because Im never coming back to Tulum again.

Stopped by a little after 12pm on a weekday. Had a large order of 60+ tacos to go, which they cranked out within 15-20 min. Got a mix of al pastor and chicken, all of which came with many bags of salsa (red and green). General consensus was the al pastor was great, chicken was a bit dry and passable. Washed it down with some horchata (which was also fine). Skip if you don't eat pork, but 5 stars for the al pastor in terms of flavor and value. read more

All I can say is wow. The best (and cheapest) tacos I have ever had in my life. We were sat immediately, staff is friendly and helpful. Authentic, right in the heart of the town. Cash only, but there is an ATM at the bus station 2 blocks away. Wish I could go back everyday, even if you have to cab from your hotel it is worth it to go. Get the gringa al pastor! read more
Their al pastor is the BUSINESS! Meat seasoned deeply and flavored throughout, cooked on a spit, and freshly sliced. I love that they offer a flour tortilla option for my gringo husband and daughter . Service was quick, food was hot, this place has it going on! read more
I LOVE tacos. I can literally eat tacos for the rest of my life and never get bored. This was the first taco I've tried in Tulum so far, but have many more on my list. I've also had tacos in Cancun to compare. La Chiapaneca is just okay. The tacos were just a little dry and not as flavorful as a lot of other tacos I've tried in my life. I also have had better empanadas and horchata. However if you're on a budget then this is the place to go. We ordered 12 tacos, 6 empanadas, and chips & guac and it came to $381-ish pesos. read more

Glad I found this place the first time I visited Tulum. If you want the good good on the low low, this is the place. I tried almost everything on the menu my first time here. I really liked the Al pastor and the lengua tacos and sopas - these are a lot better than the tacos sold in beachfront restaurants on the coast. I suggest ordering five al pastor tacos, guacamole and chips, and a Coke, and calling it a day. They don't speak much English. They also only take cash, so be ready. read more
BEST AL PASTOR TACOS OF MY LIFE i'm so glad i had this as the first taco the second i got to tulum. it's simple and cash only but THE FLAVORS I NEED IT NOW. we were seated right away and we ordered a bunch of al pastor tacos and they were phenomenal. all the workers were wearing masks during covid and they were helpful and fast. we came a 2nd time and did takeout and they packaged everything so wonderfully i can't praise this place enough. i tried tacos at other restaurants in beach town tulum and nothing can compare to the flavors of the meats of this place. so juicy and flavorful read more

Loved everything we had at this place. You could tell this was authentic Mexican cuisine. They have a small dining area inside but we decided to sit outside instead. The servers were very friendly but the food is absolutely amazing. I had a quesadilla and some gringas. The carne asada they make at this restaurant is absolute amazing. They also serve you a delicious red and green sauce that you have to put on all your food. Overall, if you're looking for amazingly delicious Mexican food at a cheap price this is the place you need to go to while in tulum. You will not be disappointed. read more
Awesome taco spot in the Pueblo of Tulum. Our tour guide after a cenotes tour took us here (but it was also on our to try list from much research). It's definitely a local spot and taqueria, and I appreciated that they didn't try to redo the vibes to cater to the tourist. So it felt like a true authentic taqueria. They even had live singers who were busking in the restaurant. The tacos are super delicious and dirt cheap! Like 70 cents a taco. 3-5 tacos is definitely enough to make you feel full, but they are the smaller street style tacos. The big challenge is just interpreting the menu as each section implies a different kind of taco -- from fried, to fried with beans, to dressed with veggies etc. so it helped that we had a local with us to help navigate. Definitely worth it to go here if you're visiting! read more

Yeah I pretty much agree with the all the other reviews. We came on a Tuesday around 9pm and ordered a little bit of everything. Nothing and I mean NOTHING like a cold beer and tacos after a long day at the beach in the sun and heat. The service was great. Not complaints at all. It's an outdoor place. It takes only cash!!! It's always busy but people are in and out pretty quickly. I love how they have vegetarian options. Highly recommend this little joint. read more

Was looking for some good tacos around town and saw this place. Luckily got a table quick since it was almost full. Ordered guac with chips, 2 pastor tacos 2 asada tacos pastor torta and pastor tostada. Everything was good but wish the pastor was a bit more flavorful. Little dry but mixing the guac with the tacos and torta made up for it. I kept seeing this had the best tacos around town maybe just went on a bad day. I would definitely give it another try but over all was full and satisfied. read more

This was my husband and I's first stop whenever we arrived in Tulum and wow!!! I am so glad it was!!! Seriously amazing and authentic tacos & food! The service was great and fast too!! The side sauces to put on the tacos were so flavorful and the free onions & lime on the table were the last perfect touches. We loved everything we tried. I recommend getting the beef quesadillas, chips and guacamole, al pastor tacos, and chicken with cheese empanada. I definitely want to come back before we leave Tulum!! read more

This place was amazing. Unbelievably affordable and tasty. We got about 10 things for $16. Im so used to these nyc prices . I would come back here 1000 times if I could. Definitely recommend. The dishes with chicken weren't my favorite but everything else was pretty good. read more
Wow!!! Such awesome tacos. Al pastor is full of flavor loved every bite! Service is great and most of all you cannot beat the prices literally the cheapest and most delicious meal in Tulum! Not feeling tacos? The sopes are also delicious! P.S. the line moves quickly! read more

One of the most highly-regarded Taquerias in Tulum, Antojitos de Chiapaneca has only recently begun opening before noon, and whether local or tourist this is great news since it means access to some of the area's very best grilled Meats for lunch or late breakfast. Practiced in brevity as well as low prices, Al Pastor, Beef or Chicken on Tortillas versus Bread, it is for 13 pesos each that double rounds of Corn arrive loaded with Meat, each quite good on their own or with complimentary Condiments from Molcajete bowls, though the Pastror with a nearly-caramelized exterior is undeniably La Chiapaneca's best choice. read more
