We had a group of 15 people and stopped here for pre-dinner drinks and it was perfect! They hav a cute little deck bar right when you walk in that has larger tables of to the side. The staff was very nice and accommodating and it's in a great location!

What a find! We originally had a reservation at Arca and walked up and just didn't love the ambience and hostess service so we did a quick search and found Cenzontle! Wow we're we lucky. Great ambience, music and service! Cocktails were fresh and delicious and the food... just WOW! Ordered: - Rita & Ella Cocktails - Cochinita pibil steamed bun app (my favorite dish) - stuffed peppers with goat cheese app - duck carnitas taco app (incredible) - pork ribs as our main All in all would definitely go back and recommend to any visitor. Definitely had similar food on the menu to Arca but not as expensive. We spent $140 USD for 2 but that included a few rounds of drinks. Enjoy!

Tortilla soup with bacon wrapped shrimp - best thing on the menu

Rebecca C.

Mediocre place amidst great restaurants- would not recommend even though this place opens pretty late for local standard. Best thing on the menu - tortilla soup with bacon wrapped shrimp. Just enough of spicy flavor. Catch of the day grilled with salsa - the fish was way too salty but salsa was well made on the side. Grilled vegetables- decent but the zucchini is a bit bland. Mushroom cocktail - bland despite waiter's high recommendation. Interesting addition of sesame seed but nothing to rave about. Go to casa banana next door - much better food and ambience.

A cute restaurant with interesting decor. Of the four dishes we ordered I would highly recommend the duck tacos and octopus. The agauachile was a little too citrusy for me. I enjoyed the gazpacho, but nothing too exciting that I would reorder the next time. Bring lots of mosquito repellent or ask for some as you're in the middle of the jungle. The restaurant does a good job smoking out the mosquito every half - 1 hour though.

This was probably the cutest restaurant that we had dinner in. They refer to themselves as the secret garden and the entrance, decor, and intimacy of the restaurant certainly exudes the ambiance of a romantic secret garden. This was my first meal in Tulum, and it certainly did not disappoint. The server answered all of our questions and gave his recommendations, though from the descriptions of the items on the menu, I don't think anyone could order bad food here. My friend and I shared 3 appetizers: the octopus cocktail, the duck carnitas tacos, and a special of the night which I forget now. The octopus cocktail was definitely our favorite. The zest and spice of this dish went so well together, I wish the serving size was bigger. Though as expected, all of the items we had were amazing. This was also one of our more expensive dinners, but well worth it. The wifi here is also pretty great.

(the Felix?) but, a cocktail with strawberry, watermelon, basil, gin, herbal liquor, and house-made hibiscus salt

If you don't want to read this whole thing, here are key things to note: Bring cash Sit at the bar if you can Work with Kimberly- She is friendly, knowledgeable and amazing to watch All of the drinks are well balanced and delicious It's more about what you feel like having as a dish than what is recommended. Everything is well made. We didn't know anything about this spot when we walked in. We were going to go to Casa Jaguar and they were fully booked and weren't interested in trying to fit us in despite the fact that it was a total downpour and completely empty. We grabbed our umbrella and walked maybe two blocks and saw this romantic intimate space largely lit with tea light candles. They made room for us at the bar without a reservation (7:00 on a Friday night). There are little gnomes hidden around the space. See how many you can find. The bar is stocked with fresh ingredients. I am not a fan of sweet drinks so I was hesitant to go with any signature cocktails. I ended up with the Rita Hayworth and ...egh, I can't recall the name (the Felix?) but, a cocktail with strawberry, watermelon, basil, gin, herbal liquor, and house-made hibiscus salt along the side of the goblet it was served in. They were the types of cocktails that slow you down and remind you to enjoy all the senses. They were beautiful, fragrant, refreshing and satisfying. Getting to watch them made was a show. Kimberly knew that bar like you would your own body. Everything we ate was lovely. I think choosing from the menu has more to do with what you feel like in the moment than it does with what has the highest reviews. We ordered two appetizers and one entree. We were gifted a wrapped package of assorted nuggets of bread with herb butter and soon after our seabass ceviche wrapped in long strips of cucumber and stuffed with thin slices of green apple and pickled onion. It was light with a vinegar and citrus dressing. The other was labeled as a brussel sprout dish that consisted of an even amount of carrot, cauliflower, and brussels. They were roasted and it was adorned with sweet potato mash spread on the side with what I believe was a pesto. The last was the snapper over a heap of cheesy risotto. Nothing was bland, over salted, under or overcooked. They were well rounded, beautifully plated dishes that would make even the most full person grab 'just one more bite'. I hope you enjoy as much as we did!

In researching places for dinner in Tulum, Cenzontle was recommended as an alternative to Hartwood and just a great place to go. I would say I still liked Hartwood better, but I'm glad we gave this place a try. Stopped in on a Saturday about 8ish, and the place was pretty much empty. It's on the jungle side of the main road in Tulum, so, while the atmosphere is charming like most of the restaurants in Tulum (built into the jungle, rustic, candlelit), the heat and humidity was stifling. More so than some of the other similar restaurants. The atmosphere was quaint, though, with mismatched table and chairs and lamps -- very antique, vintage shabby chic. We ordered a couple of drinks, which were named after celebrities from a golden era -- Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker. As others have mentioned, they were a bit watered down. Could have been because it was so warm, the ice in the drinks were melting super fast. I also kind of wondered rather there was actually any alcohol in them. We ordered the piquito pepper appetizer, and the tortilla battered shrimp and grilled fish appetizers. The peppers were the standout. Filled with creamy goat cheese, they were melt in your mouth. When they brought out the shrimp, I actually thought it was a joke. For $350 pesos, I got four shrimp. Four. With this tiny side of sorbet and a few other unmemorable items. This dish basically gave off the impression that it didn't know what it wanted to be. That's not to say the shrimp wasn't nicely cooked and full of flavor. Just an odd mash of things on the plate and completely overpriced. My friend had the fish, and I'm sad to say I can't really remember much about it. Other than these large leaves of greens that tasted like arugula. And, while our server was extremely nice, we waited for quite some time once finished to even be checked on or to be able to ask for the check. In fact, there was one server who was standing aimlessly at the bar right in front of us. This place was definitely a jardin secreto, with a lovely if somewhat hot atmosphere. However, the food and price points were not as attractive. With all the other delicious places to eat in town, don't feel to bad if you can't make this one.

Looked great, until we realized it was half overcooked and half raw. The most disgusting thing I've been served in recent memory. Truly foul

I'm going to get all the positive things out of the way first, because this was the worst food experiences in recent memory. Front of house staff was great, very attentive and nice. Ambience was nice. You can park in the lot next door for $100 pesos. Plating was very attractive (this actually may be a negative because it's sort of a bait and switch once you actually eat the food). The name (which I didn't look up until after we left) is actually very fitting. It's the Spanish word for mockingbird, the bird that's famous for copying other birds' songs. Cenzotle is just like a mockingbird, initial impressions give you one idea about what you're getting, but upon further inspection, it's all a lie. Cute atmosphere, great plating, good servers, menu that looks legit. None of that matters when you're left wondering if the cooks can even cook! Forget the flavor profile, these people are serving barely edible dishes, and even when given the chance to fix it, can't get it right. We started out with two appetizers, the peppers and aquachile sea bass. The peppers (sweet peppers with a goat cheese filling) were fine, kind of bland but no big deal, we figured they were going for a softer profile since it was a first course. The aquachile sea bass dish was the best thing we had there, but it's really only the sea bass itself that sticks out. The other ingredients just seem sort of thrown in there. They give you some free bread and butter, and the bread comes in these cute little bags with a sticker saying when it was prepped. Most of the bread was stale, and the butter (homemade) was bland and had a weird mouthfeel. For the main course, we ordered the pork ribs and the octopus. Both dishes came out looking great, but they were two of the worst things I've ever been served (I'm including hospital food for the record). The ribs looked like a decent portion, stacked nicely with a bunch of orange sauce. At first glance it was two medium sized ribs and a few riblets on top. Once we dug in, we realized it was two bones with cartilage and gristle, topped with straight bones and chunks of more cartilage. I'm not exaggerating, there was no meat on the stuff they put on top, it was literally bones covered in sauce. The flavor was extremely sweet, I don't think I would have liked it even if they had served us any edible pieces of meat. The most disgusting part of this meal was the octopus. Let me preface by saying, I love octopus, I eat it all the time and I've literally eaten it every day I've been in Mexico for this trip. When the dish came out, we were pretty excited because once again, the plating was great. They also gave us 4 tentacles, which is an excellent amount. When I tried to cut off a piece, my knife wouldn't cut through all the way because the octopus was so rubbery. Bizarrely enough, half the pieces were overcooked, tough and rubbery and the other half was almost raw. We sent it back, and they sent us out a new dish. This appeared to be better than the first, because at least my knife went through it. We soon realized this piece was also half raw. We ate a couple bites of the parts that were cooked and then asked for the check. How a restaurant pretending to be higher end can put out poorly cooked octopus twice in a row is beyond me. I wasn't willing to ask for a third. If I had less shame, I would've sent both the main courses back, but we were very hungry and the front of house staff was really nice so I felt bad. I haven't written a review in some time, but the fact that a restaurant is serving seafood when they don't know how to cook it is dangerous. Please do not eat at this place. It's not even that it's not worth the price, these people clearly have no idea what they are doing. It tastes like a couple of drunk cooks overhead someone who could actually cook describe an interesting menu, and this was their first attempt at recreating that menu while hungover from the night before. Management, you should honestly be ashamed.

Magical, jungle, vintage, outdoor setting.

We checked out every top rated restaurant in Tulum and Cenzontle is one of the best. The food quality is incredible. I recommend trying the stuffed goat cheese chiles! They are amazing. The cocktails are delicious. The price is a little more expensive than most restaurants here, but it's worth it.

Went to Cenzontle for our second dinner in Tulum. What we had: (1) great seared duck breast with asparagus in an extraordinary agave sauce (2) ok grilled fish dish that we didn't think much of (3) refreshing shrimp ceviche (4) subpar keema crumble with ice cream. Overall great vibe, superb service, cheap wine but inconsistent quality of food.

Thy D.

Overall an amazing meal--possibly our best of the week long visit. The atmosphere is great with good tunes, vintage/shabby chic miss-matched furniture. It's on the jungle side so it's a little warmer and slightly buggy. Since we couldn't decide between all of the appetizer options we went for a full small plates dinner: all of the apps in lieu of ordering any mains. Menu consisted of the piquillo peppers, duck carnitas tacos, hibiscus empanadas, Pibil pork steam bun and octopus cocktail. All were fantastic with the piquillo peppers and duck carnitas tacos as stand outs. We finished with the brownie and ice cream. Brownie was warm and dense Both us had the Rita Hayworth cocktail which was refreshing but seemed watered down. I'm a slow drinker and it was quite warm which might have contributed to this. Service was attentive without being smothering. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and would recommend it to anyone I a heartbeat. Bonus: it's a family run business.

My husband and I dined for dinner one evening based on some of the reviews; however, I was sorely disappointed with their portion sizing and "meh" service. We arrived at the restaurant upon opening (6:30pm on Jan.1), and we were the first customers, so I had at least expected attentive service. Shortly after we ordered our first round of drinks and food orders, it was difficult to get our server's attention. The drinks were tasty but weak. My husband had to go back to the room because we had forgotten something, and I requested a second drink as he left. He returned about 20 minutes later, and my second drink still had not come out. Once he sat down, my second drink arrived along with our food. He ordered the braised pork, and I had the rabbit stew. His portion seemed reasonable for the price; however, I had a lot of soup in my bowl and perhaps one or two meager strips of rabbit at the bottom. Now, if you are going to advertise rabbit soup, that's fine. But don't put a ridiculous price tag on a bowl of rabbit stew if it is mostly chili-flavored soup with meager portions of rabbit. I am not one to exaggerate in reviews because I know how critical they are to a business, but to say the least, I was really upset about what was advertised versus what I received. Ridiculously enough, I was given a few corn tortillas to "wrap" my rabbit meat with, but that was a bust as I ended up scalding my palms and famished by the end of the evening. There also seemed to be a lot of miscommunication between our server and the kitchen because we had to ask 2-3 times for extra tortillas. At that time, the restaurant had just started getting busy, but if you're going to own an establishment, you need to properly train your staff to handle rush hour...in Tulum...yes, Tulum. I was so annoyed with the evening that had there been a McDonald's next door, I would have gotten up and grabbed a few big macs for sustenance. To say the least, when we return to Tulum, we will not be dining at Cenzontle again. read more

Incredible evening of wonderful food and service! A romantic, candlelit setting greeted us when we walked in. Make sure to ask for "smokers" (burning egg crates) as there are lots of mosquitos. We decided to try the stuffed hibiscus empanadas w avocado mousse as its something I've never had before and it was incredible. The octopus/pear appetizer was beautifully presented as it was delicious. As suggested by our server, the local catch of the day exceeded my expectations as it bursted with flavor. My fiancé loved his choice of the rabbit stew that had the right amount of spice to it. The warm brownie w banana gelato is a must! It's up there with one of the best desserts I've had. The staff are truly the sweetest people, the owner is a riot, and his cute dog sat next to me throughout the evening. Don't miss this place as it will help make your trip to Tulum a memorable one :) read more

Loved the staff there, and the food and drinks were off the charts as well. Their cocktails were amazing. They had one with muddled pepper and pineapple that had the option of mescal or tequila. I went for the mescal version and it was fantastic. The duck tacos were addicting. They get their masa from a famous taco truck (am not allowed to say which one) and it is that earthy, gritty tortilla you can only dream of in the united states. Have fun....you will love it. TIP If one or two people, sit at the bar and chat with the bar tenders. Really nice guys. read more

If you're looking up restaurants in Tulum, congrats. That means you are already in paradise or soon will be. And let me tell you, out of all the great foodie places on the stretch of Tulum beach, I think Cenzontle was by far the best and was one of the better restaurants I've been to in awhile regardless of location. While I was in Tulum for a week, my wife and I went to Cenzontle three times. The first night we just stumbled upon it and liked the look of the menu so we went for it. I had the Rabbit Birria and even though I was hesitant to get a hot & spicy rabbit stew in 80F weather I'm so glad I did because it was incredibly delicious! The flavors were layered, exciting, and fantastically tasty. My wife had the Snapper catch of the day, which was topped with sage & capers and served with a side of quinoa and asparagus. I recommend both dishes and I absolutely fell in love with snapper while in Tulum. One of the most surprising elements of Cenzontle were the cocktails. Coming from Chicago I can attest that the bartenders at Cenzontle were true mixologists. These were the best cocktails at Tulum Beach and compete with some of the best craft cocktails I've had in Chicago and other North American cities. The Garbo, Madame Piaf, and Ella Fitzgerald were all exceptional (plus I love the names!). Mauricio in particular was a great bartender and was friendly, talented, and fun to talk to. He gave my wife and I a free shot since we were on our honeymoon. We came back for drinks a couple nights later, and then our last night we returned with some friends to have our goodbye meal. Cenzontle, like most restaurants at Tulum Beach is expensive in the Mexican context, but it's about on par with going out in a major US city. With 2 entrees and a couple drinks I would expect paying $100 total. I hope I get back to Tulum and if I do Cenzontle is the one restaurant I will definitely go to! I can't recommend it enough! read more

This lovely restaurant, appropriately named el 'jardin secreto', is one of Tulum's best kept secrets. The owners Ivan and Linda are such amazing and accommodating people, the ambiance is unpretentious yet jungle chic, and the food is thoughtful and unexpected. We held an event for our wedding here based on a recommendation from our planner, and I must say-Cenzontle exceeded expectations. The bartenders are some of the hardest working I have ever come across and the waitstaff did such a great job of making sure all of our guests were happy and well-fed. All of the craft cocktails were delicious and eclectic and the food was equally outstanding. Some noteworthy menu items include the duck tacos, beet gazpacho, coconut shrimp and hibiscus empanadas. There are many options on the beach road, but please pay Linda and Ivan a visit when you are in Tulum. Cenzontle will dazzle your tastebuds and celebrates the true essence of this this very special town! read more

The atmosphere, decor and service are nice, and the dishes were beautifully presented. I wish the food were better. I had the short ribs, which were just too sweet. It needed to be balanced with something sharp or spicy. My daughter enjoyed the duck, but the mole was not as complex as I have had other places. My son had the fish, which was nicely cooked, but the sides on the dish were bland. Because it is on jungle side, the restaurant periodically smokes the place with incense to deal with the mosquitoes. This is unpleasant and detracts from meal. read more

Nice ambiance. Pretty typical for tulum on the jungle side. Outdoor seating, under tents. Rustic/rugged. Food: Unique and refreshing. Had the pork bun (larger than you would expect. More like the size of a sandwich, vs. Asian style pork bun). Great flavor. Crispy pork with great sauce. Watch out for the few jalapeños sliced and served as garnish. We also had the octopus and pear. Unique flavors. Loved the pear. For the entree we had the catch of the day. It was grouper. Solid dish. Nothing to write home about, but enjoyed it. We left full and satisfied. Minus the bugs!! read more

My wife and I had a really great experience eating at Cenzontle. This came at the recommendation of the concierge at Cabañas Tulum which was spot on. To start we each tried some of the house beer (a peach pale ale) which was very tasty. Afterwards we shared the duck carnitas taco which was very tender and well seasoned. For our main course my wife had the grilled octopus and I had the fish special served over risotto. Both were delicious! As far as the ambiance goes, I thought it was perfect. There was just the right amount of background noice/music plus very romantic lighting combined with an interesting decor. We also thought the price was a nice middle ground compared to some of the more hyped beach restaurants. Overall this was our best meal while in Tulum and would highly recommend! read more

This place was incredible. Loved the atmosphere. One of the staff at Hartwood actually recommended this place to us and we were NOT disappointed. Due to reservation issues, we didn't get to eat at Hartwood but were surprised to see Cenzontle with better reviews so we headed there. Great drinks and service and the food was incredible. The roasted ancho peppers with goat cheese (and something about chipotle perfume?) was so darn good. Almost no matter where you sit, you feel the privacy.

If you're looking for a delicious dinner in a quiet garden lit up like a fairytale, this place is for you. The food was excellent - be warned, the menu on their website is not necessarily the menu you will get at the restaurant but it is absolutely delicious nonetheless. We got the ribs, steak and Brussels sprouts, and both the food and the quality was excellent. Their neighbour's mutt sometimes wanders in (drawn by the smell of all that deliciousness I bet) and wanders through the guests. He is friendly and very cute and doesn't bother anyone who doesn't want to meet him. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a good dinner. Two entrees, a vegetable/appetiser, and a bottle of wine will set you back around $ 130; it's worth it. read more

I just got to my hotel from celebrating my 31st birthday here. The meal was my favorite so far on this trip. We had the piquillo peppers with goat cheese and the mushrooms as appetizers. I ordered the pork ribs over sweet potato purée and apricot compote. If you love sweet and salty, get the pork ribs. Uh-mazing! For dessert we had the fried shaved carrot glazed with dulce de leche over panna cotta gelato. I am going to dream of this meal once I am back home. The place also has great music and ambiance - think candlelit dinner in the jungle. They even offer free bug spray at the entrance, which was convenient since I forgot to spray some on before leaving the hotel. Great, friendly staff. read more

We went there our first night in Tulum at the recommendation of our hotel and it was such a perfect introduction to the town! Situated on the "jungle" side of the road, it's a charming and eclectic vibe with twinkly lights and kitschy table lamps in an adorable way. The food was very very good as well. We had octopus and a stuffed pumpkin dish which was insanely good. The menu is small but everything was yummy. They also had large farm style tables so this would be good to go with a group. The service was iffy but we were also tucked away in a little corner so that might have been it. read more

We went to this restaurant on our second night in Tulum, and I have to say that it was a very good restaurant. We arrived somewhat late, and we were seated immediately, since it was not very crowded. I liked the lighting and atmosphere. Our server was very kind, and took our orders quickly. We ordered some hibiscus empanadas and coconut ceviche for appetizers, and they were both very tasty. I ordered the barbacoa with Valladolid lamb, which came with tortillas, beans, and pickled onions. The food was quite delicious, and I took advantage of the fact that there were warm tortillas in order to make a taco. I took away a star, because the service was somewhat slow, and the menu only included a few things, but I would definitely return. food 5 stars service: 4 stars employee kindness: 5 stars menu variety: 3.5 stars cleanliness: 4.5 stars atmosphere: 4.5 stars read more

Dinner in the rain, I had the pastor, she had the pumpkin. We shared a couple appetizers. Everything was perfect. I was about to order too much, (typical American) and the waitress guideded me to the perfect amount. Like I said, Great service & excellent cocktails. Felt almost like a pop-up restaurant given the various tent type situation overhead. Definately worth a stop. A real gem read more

My husband and I dined here on a Friday night. The friendly wait staff, low key environment and home-like ambiance lured us in. I had the catch of the day; it was beautifully cooked, lightly seasoned and served with a fresh side salad with slices of grapefruit. My husband had the homemade pasta with grilled shrimp. Both meals were perfecto! Still, both slightly hungry after our meal, we ordered roasted pork tacos with a fried piece of chicharron just over the top, oh my goodness! Best taco we've ever eaten. We ended our meal with a slice of homemade apple pie and tarragon ice cream. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

OK so I'm torn writing this review. We just got back from our week long adventures in Tulum and we had a great time. Including here at Cenzontle. We didn't stay for dinner, although it sounded like some of the dishes are pretty good here. We went for an hour or so, had a drink or to and hung out talking to the bartenders while we waited for our late dinner reservation at Hartwood. So, some notes about Cenzontle... + really nice look here, cozy cazual jungle theme, we sat at the bar under the protection from the rain that was coming/going that evening. tiki torches, cool setup overall. + SUPER nice and friendly bartenders. They were polite, didn't mind chatting with us, gave us GREAT local spot recommendations for the rest of our trip. + they have some decent craft beer options if you ask, also they seemed to have some "homebrewed" options also. I tried one of those. - the drinks. My wife had one, it was kind of "not that good". not too strong, in a tall boring glass, and just compared to some we had at other places was missing that something special. - i tried one of the homemade beers. ah, it just wasn't really ready for prime time. no carbonation, kind of just malted water. i really wanted to like it, being beer making is my new fav hobby. my thoughts are they should perfect their recipe and/or hobby before releasing it to customers. i then switched gears and got one of the other not homemade beers. If we had gone again, I really would try the Rabbit Birria based on some reviews I read. I wanted to get that one. But you know when you get drinks somewhere, if they don't have that down, sometimes you don't want to try the food. So many options. But if we go back to Tulum, maybe we'll try again? read more

Cenzontle is a super cute self-professed "secret garden" and place to eat. We made reservations for our large group and was seated immediately. While the food and drinks were decent, what soured the experience were that the server rarely came by and as it got colder as the night went on, it took us ~30 mins to get the bill and pay. He wouldn't even let us leave without double checking the bill, which took extra time. read more

Wow, forget the famed Hartwood of the Tulum beach area, go to Cenzontle! Wonderful helpful staff, amazing and interesting food and beer (and if your lucky some magic!). It was NYE and we needed a place to celebrate. We are not ones to book ahead of time or spend $500 for a super fancy coursed our meal. We wanted a fund time, good food, then to feel free to roam the beach. During our early afternoon stroll along the main road the staff told us to return before 8 to try and get a seat. They were not accepting reservations, or something like that. Maybe they were, for larger parties. Anyways, we returned maybe around 7 and were seated right away. The restaurant was already almost full and a line at the bar was forming. Our waiter was super super nice and friendly. He was very informative and took the time to answer all of our questions on the menu that night. The food is very innovative and experimental. It might sound odd, but trust them there is probably a reason they paired hibiscus flower with onion and ginger in bread. We dined al fresco at night, so things were a bit darker. I still enjoyed the warm lighting, trellises and eclectic decor. To eat, you are started with homemade bread and butter. Oh the butter, it was a rosemary, herb light butter. It was soo delicious. (we are from Chicago and bread and butter are several of the well known restaurant's strong points and Cenzontel's butter rivaled those of our city!). Needless to say, we felt right at home. My fiance and I were going to head back to our small hotel to enjoy a family dinner, so we only ordered a main between the two of us. Our main dish option turned out not to be my cup-of-tea, though it was very good and my fiance still raves about it and says it was his best meal of the trip and one of the best pieces of fish he has had (he is a fish connoisseur, not a meat eater). I am pretty sure the menu has already changed, at least the online menu has. It is possible they will have the same selection when you arrive. We had a piece of bass similar to the one currently listed on their menu (local lagoon bass fillet) that was soaked in coconut water and wrapped in a seaweed, with a perfume of something and sprouts. Personally, for me the sprouts were way too much and overpowering. I also did not like the crispy tortilla strips they threw on. The fish inside the seaweed was white, juicy and tasting. I wish we had ordered more so I could have fallen in love with something. I still loved seeing my fiance nom nom nom on a dish. Of course NYE, we ordered or first dessert of the night. That night, we wend with the dark chocolate lava cake and ice cream. It was delicious. If we return to this part of Tulum, we will return to dine again! read more

Recommended by people in Tulum, we gave it a try. Nice place and ambience, friendly but a bit slow service. We tried as appetizers the octopus on sliced pears and the piquillo relleno. Octopus was a bit gluey and both dishes a bit generic in taste. Catch of day (grouper) for both, cooked in 2 different ways, one with lots (too many) sage leaves, one in a leaf, typical Mexican way. Again, can't say they were bad, but very generic. Also, pricey for what we ate. read more

History

Established in 2013.

Ivan Angeles, owner, conceived Cenzontle, after crossing through the front gate of what it used to be, years ago his house. Picked in, and the vision came. A place with heart and soul was on its way, aiming to create a place where people can relax and enjoy a meal and drinks, with a friendly and laid back service, just like Tulum itself. Inspired in a grand mothers house, we try to replicate the feeling of being home in a lush jungle setting. Baroque meets A Tribe Called Quest, Greta Garbo meets the caribbean. Living ten years in Tulum, Ivan has understood the energy that vibrates in this magical caribbean town, and the old school feeling of it, can be felt in its heart warming ambiance.

Traveller, restauranteur, has lived in over 5 countries and 9 different cities. Helped his restaurant education in places like the Botswana Butchery in Queenstown, or the Michelin Star restaurant F12 in Stockholm. New flavors and surprising combinations are his passion.

Of all the dishes I had to ask someone to pass the salt and also put hot sauce on it lol. Molecito Corazon -- Roasted Cauliflour steak covered in homemade mole, with sweet potatoe purée, brown rice and avocado! This item was very hearty and interesting. The mole sauce was delicious and great item if you are hungry and want something on the heavier side!
