    Tacos are amazing
    Neal M.

    Amazing food!!! Stop here for a quick bite fell in love with the friendly family that owns the business, amazing food!! I can't wait to come back and try different dishes! Had the shrimp but no pic we ate them too fast!!!

    Great little restaurant

    This little shack packs some powerful flavor in food. On the other side of the 307, there lies a a great palapa of flavor, the Mero-Mero Restaurant. A Mere-Mero is a type of Mexican grouper, commonly found in these waters. Although the Mero-Mero restaurant looks tiny, far from it, its comfortable and the staff is professional. The menu varies with eclectic Mexican dishes from Tacos to more complex menu items. Also the dishes introduce many different parts of Mexico, from Southern to Northern. I had the Pulpo Tostada and the Sopa Pollo, both were excellent, as a matter of fact the Sopa is a new favorite of mine. This restaurant is very clean and has a casual, but elegant vibe.

    What a cool spot! We stayed at the Hardrock Hotel & wanted to try something other than resort food. This is a place locals go to and I can totally see why. We had the beef & chicken tacos, shrimp empanada, & enchiladas with verde sauce. We also ordered a side of rice and beans & margaritas on the rocks. Everything was amazing! I love spicy salsa so the habanero was my favorite! Great service roo. The waiter was so sweet.

    Out of all Tulum this is the BEST food and great prices!!!!!!!!! Very well recommend and that's that we are coming from California from the Valley!!!! I would love if the owner was back home close to us!! Delicioso!!

    This place is great! The best sopes I have ever had. Guacamole was great to. They only accept pesos so be ready. Super cheap also.

    Mom and pop restaurant, we made the mistake of taking "collectivo" and had to walk a mile but it was worth it.

    At first I was unimpressed, but good things come in small packages and this is a great thing. Taco…read morePaco is a quick service restaurant but, it has great service that's for sure. Initially the menu items didn't throw me I didn't want fried shrimp I'm not a big fried shrimp fan, I didn't want ceviche I want to tacos. I had to acquiesce and get the shrimp and coconut taco. I also got The fish ceviche tostada. These items were amazing. And, I mean amazing. I thought it would be shrimp with coconut flakes on a taco, no it was not it was battered shrimp with coconut better deep-fried and then put on a tortilla and as simple as it was it was amazing. The fish ceviche was equally good and refreshing I couldn't say anything bad about it tasted exactly like I thought it would and it was beautiful looking. The service at taco Paco was equally as good they were kind of fast and efficient. Although I do miss the traditional Carnitas taco and taco la lingua I really enjoyed my fried shrimp tacos. As they were the best fried shrimp I've ever had.

    Absolutely yummy! Very small, clean, outdoor seating only. We stayed at a nearby resort in Puerto…read moreAventuras and walked (about 20 minutes by foot) out of the property to this tasty spot. The special was Coconut Shrimp or Fish (note: there are only fish options available any day) My husband and I both had the Coconut Shrimp tacos. Battered and fried to order and two large pieces of shrimp per taco. Homemade hot sauces range from 'sweet and spicy to super hot', cabbage cole slaw, pickled onions and jalapeños with mango serve as your toppings. A must visit for local eats! Cash Only! Hours during our visit 10-5pm
