    Didn't have tripe soup and only two beer brands or relleno negro but guacamole was killer. Beers cold. Waiter great. Traci said freshest guacamole she ever had. We'd be back for it. Entrees were good, too. I'd recommend this place for sure. There are 2-3 neighbors we will try later in our trip.

    Love this little place. For all my American friends, this is a great spot to stop on your way to Tulum and experience some authentic Mexican cuisine. Margaritas are on point and the food is amazing. Please enjoy!

    Had the chicken tacos and the pineapple juice. Both were excellent. Small place but all the tables were full.

    Came here for a nightcap after dinner. We ordered a Pina Colada and Passion fruit Margarita with…read moreMezcal. The Pina Colada was watered down and the taste of alcohol was absent. I hardly drink and did not get even a baby buzz from the drink. The Margarita was OK. The service was OK. Each drink was $300 MXN or around $17 USD. Maybe I visited on an off day? There's plenty of other places in the area, this place would be a last resort.

    Ok, so we're in Tulum and it's time to smash on our first dinner sesh. After walking around…read morechecking out what we fancy we settled for this spot. Welcome to La Malinche. Lets get to the food shall we. Chapulunes Tacos - Yes I like this stuff. I adore the preparation. The avocado doesn't really do much for the rest of the taco, but sauced up its a 6.8/10 Mushroom Taco - I couldn't stress enough about my partiality to vegan food. I adore the texture and the taste. I feel they put all the effort on this taco. 8.7/10 Al Pastor - It's nice and juicy. The the pineapples are present. Taste does fall a little short from the ones I've had before. 7.6/10 Service was pleasant. The ambiance was a total vibe. I would definitely recommend. If you ever make it to Tulum, do give this spot a proper go at it and let me know what you think. Hit that like and follow for more food and travel adventures by yours truly. Share this review with a smash mode buddy. And thank you so much for reading along.
