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.
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.
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.
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 bang for the buck tacos in Tulum. We come here several times a week. Always good and always consistent. Can't go wrong here
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.
The tacos are like .50 cents USD per! This place has great reviews but honestly the tacos are very bland. I liked my El Pastor Empanada and my boyfriend didn't think anything of his tacos. Not really sure how it got so hyped up *Shrugs* read more
7 pesos for tacos??! Especially with good service? Yep I'm there! What's even cooler is that you get to see them freshly grill the pork in a cone of meaty goodness like the shwarma for gyros. The meat you'll see grilled is for taco al pastor and comes with a slice of grilled pineapple on each of the tacos. The chicken tacos were just piled with slow cooked chicken and weren't outstanding. If anything get the al pastor! The Gringa tacos are piled with two times the meat in a corn tortilla. The Jamaica (hibiscus flower drink) is on the lighter side. They have a green non spicy salsa and an orange salsa which is labeled as spicy. I put too much on to where I was crying, but I still managed to polish off all of my tacos because they were that good! read more

These tacossss!!! Please get the al pastor .. dont even bother with steak. If your vegetarian , make an exception , if you're Jewish pretend it's chicken. That is how good they are! Don't only stick to tacos! Get the sopes ( I loved the chicken ones) and panuchos. Also caution : the spicy sauce is very spicy so use it sparsely read more

This place is where you want to go in downtown Tulum for the best pastor tacos. I'm not exaggerating... THE BEST. You can walk up and order curbside or you can sit in the dining room in the back. They require sanitizer and masks for entry, service is quick and prices are low. This is where you want to be. read more

The al pastor tacos are so good, but the empenadas may be even better! For sure order some of those. We ate dinner here, twice in five days. It's ridiculous how affordable it is. Really, you can eat like a king for so little. The first night I had three tacos, an empanada and a horchata. The second time I had two tacos, and empanada and a horchata. My guys dined on tacos, empanadas and tortas. My son enjoyed a bottled Mexican Coke. I never let him drink soda, but on this occasion of course I let him have one. His stomach was a little upset so I figured the cola may help to soothe it. Pretty much a must for dinner while visiting Tulum! Like Sam A mentioned, easy with that red sauce. Load up on the green, and very gently ease into the red... It's hot as a mother! read more
Driving through Tulum we found this place for some breakfast. And boy, did we find a hell of a spot. We ordered chicken tacos, tostadas and a quesadilla which were all great and well priced! Once you recieve your tacos you need to visit the salsa bar that has fresh limes, cilantro, onions and two salsas that are both great. One is really spicy so apply it carefully. The green salsa isnt spicy and it tastes so good!! This place deserves it's high rating as the food is delicious, the process are great and the service is great too. Loved stumbling upon this place! read more

Sat outside in the sun - ordered 3 al pastor tacos + cheese and bottled Mexican Coca-Cola! Delicious, Easy Going, Super Casual, Cheap and Tasty! read more
I was really surprised at all the great reviews. This place was just okay. I got one of each taco and my bf got tacos as well as some sopes. I'll admit, they looked great through a picture. However, every single meat (al pastor, asada, y pollo) were ALL so dry, I could barely swallow them. The service was good and everything else was fine. Was just so surprised at how dry all the meat was. We got much better tacos from street vendors in Toluca. read more
We came to this very casual restaurant for the al pastor tacos. You can see the the pork roasting on a vertical spit outside as you walk to the restaurant. The taco was was ok, didn't have that amazing flavor I was expecting, and the meat was kinda dry actually. We also were disappointed as we didn't get any pineapple since they apparently ran out even though it was early in the afternoon. The service is pretty quick and the prices are very inexpensive. read more

When traveling, I want to make my rounds and never really go to the same place twice just because I know I only have so many meals in a vacation to expand my horizons. This was one of the places I bookmarked before coming to Tulum. It had great reviews on both Yelp and Foursquare. I tend to use Foursquare when going international but out of pure American habit, I opened up my Yelp to get directions to this place. This place is the JAM!!! I ordered 2 tacos and 2 Panuchos, all with Al Pastor. I'm not one to order Al Pastor but you gotta go with what the locals get. It did not disappoint. The only thing I would watch out for is the yellow salsa. Ermergod, my lips and throats were on fire!!!!! Tears in my eyes. The sauce is crazy spicy. I love love spicy- but try a little before putting it on any of your food. It's a scorcher for sure. I give this place, hands down, 5 stars! 7 pesos tacos and bombest Al Pastor ever. Enjoy! read more
We wanted to eat where the locals eat. Best al pastor tacos EVER. The way they cook it is unique and soooo good. Added all the toppings and came out so delicious. Also have never had empanadas so tasty. The dough was a mix of chewy with a lightness about it. I want to go back for more! read more

The best place we went to in Tulum. The food is so dirt cheap at about .40 cents a taco. Even though the prices are minuscule, the food here has gargantuan flavor and taste. They have the usual suspects in al pastor, carne asada, etc. But, they also have the more unique cuts of lengua and cabeza. Everything here is about the authentic flavor and experience so you're getting the meat literally off the spire and onto your fresh corn tortilla. Then you slather it by walking up to their sauce and accoutrements bar and that means cabbage, various sauces of varying heat, and of course radishes and limes. This place is always bustling and hustling and for good reason. Where else can you say you had multiple plates of tender delicious meat tacos for less than $10 USD all told? I would come here again in a heartbeat. read more
Spent the day in Tulum beach bummin' it, until it was time for TACOS! I was blown away by how many reviews this spot had because I came across a ton of places that didn't have as many reviews in the PDC area. This is a no frills straight to the point taco love affair. It can't get more authentic than this. When we discovered that Al Pastor is basically shawarma style chicken we were sold! We got 6 tacos and 2 drinks for about 6$. There is a small toppings bar on the side for sauces, cilantro etc. If you're in Tulum this is a stop you should make. I tried other restaurants for their tacos al pastor and this place honestly was the best. read more

Best tacos in Tulum! This place is awesome. Excellent quick service, fantastic flavorful food and incredible price point. This place doesn't try to scam you like the spots in the hotel zone on the beach. It's 100% worth it to go into town just for these tacos. The salsas were perfect not too spicy, they give you limes, onion and cilantro on the table to top off the tacos. We had the Al Pastor tacos (not pictured) then an Al Pastor panucho and empanadas. Everything was so delicious and flavorful! Thank you for an awesome authentic experience Antojitos La Chiapaneca! read more
Wow. I truly did not believe my friend when she told me I would have the best tacos I ever did in my life here--I was wrong. Right outside the entrance of the restaurant you can see them carving the pork tacos. The pork is cooked on a gyro spool under high fire so you get the nice crisp on the meat while still retaining the juices (you can see the juices drip while they skillfully carve the meat). Be careful, I thought the green sauce was quite hot. My friend and I ordered 2 tacos initially but had to get more to satiate our appetite for these delicious tacos. While you're here I would also recommend getting the empanadas as well. Impressed at how they managed to get it crunchy and chewy at the same time. I left tulum and still dream about this place!! read more

Tulum. Tacos. Ten pesos. Okay that's a lie, they're only 8 pesos, I did it for the alliteration. This corner spot is in the town of tulum, almost near the end of town. Filled with locals and some smart tourists, this joint has the basics for budget prices. 8p for a taco, 8p for an empanada, you get the drill. We tried several tacos, an empanada, and several other "why not let's get it it's 8 pesos." First came the liter of jamaica- delicious, fresh, beet red, for 20p. Then, in "un momentito" as promised, out comes the food. Toppings in a communal area. We layer on some onion, cilantro, cabbage, grab some lines and salsa picante and get to work. Everything was delicious. And I mean it. And dinner came to 150 pesos ($8usd) for two people and I was not only full but incredibly happy and satisfied. Would love to keep this place a secret but can't, won't, you need to go. read more

One of the best places we ate in Tulum! Don't freak out if you think its to.. to.. whatever. Safe area, easy going people and there are tons of tourists that eat here. And it's SUPER cheap. So along with being about the best food in Tulum, it's dam near free. Try the Alpastor in what every form they can serve it to you. Awesome. Only downside - no booze. Not really a biggie since service is fast and you are in and out pretty quick. read more
