    Falafel bowl, eggs and potatoes
    Megan K.

    This place was exactly why we needed. Great service, chill ambiance and delicious fresh food!! Traveling and eating is what we love and this place made our list. I love to eat vegan when possible and they were easily able to accomplish and had several options. I had the falafel bowl and my hubs had eggs. Both came with a side of chili oil (so perfect as we love a little spice!). The potatoes were also yummy. Strong recommend! Sit upstairs and enjoy the breeze with their WiFi while you relax!

    We came here after our first attempt at lunch in Tulum did not work out and it was all very…read morefortunate for us because we had an excellent lunch. This is really two restaurants with two menus. One is Mexican food and the other is pizza and pasta. The wife had guacamole and fish tacos and said both were outstanding. Best fish tacos she ever had. So fresh, not a hint of fishiness. The accompanying salsas were excellent too. Guacamole was very well seasoned. I was in the mood for something simple so I had the 4 cheese pizza (almonte queso) and it was excellent. The crust was fresh and light. The cheese was good quality and very tasty. Really good pizza and especially so in an area not known for Italian food. Service was good, bathrooms were clean, and I have no complaints at all. I would go here again if I ever visit Tulum another time.

    I love the fact that all of the restaurants and bars in this area are open until 2am even mid week…read more My friends and I came here after leaving a bar, super hungry and wanting another cocktail. There were 4 of us and their tables are super small. So a table that is suppose to seat 4 really can only seat 2 comfortably allowing room for food and drink. We asked to push 2 tables together and after a bit of resistance they finally obliged. My friends all had pizza which was very fresh. I had the penne w/ salmon which was also fresh and very tasty. As our drinks we all had Caipirinhas, wasn't strong at all. Very lemonade like. My biggest gripe was the conversion rate. I couldn't understand why their conversion to USD was a different rate from a bar I had just been to down the street. Alleviate the nuisance and change your dollars to pesos.

For gastronomic eaters, Casa Amate will satisfy your palate. Casa Amate's menu and ambiance are eclectic. Being in Mexico, I had to try Casa Amate's version of the ceviche, which was the Kampachi Ceviche in Leche de Tigre Cream and Rocoto. Most ceviches are marinated in the same ingredients: lime, tomatoes, jalapeños, red onions, and cilantro. Casa Amate's ceviche was unlike anything I've ever had. Instead of the usual ingredients, the Kampachi Ceviche used roasted corn kennels, sweet potato slices, cornnuts (canchita) and was served on a pool of rocoto chile cream for the eater to mix as desired. For the main course, I ordered the Pampa y Costa, which was oyster and wagyu with chimichurri sauce, served in a large oyster shell. The oysters were the star of the show, while the wagyu and chimichurri sauce didn't really add much to the dish itself. The wagyu was too chewy/overcooked and lacked flavor, which was surprising considering the addition of the chimichurri sauce and the type of beef used...

    It is hit or miss with this place. Great location, nice…read moredecor and atmosphere. The staff was nice as well. This place may be more known for their fresh juices but the food menu had a decent spread of choices. What I found to be unique was the bread they use for the tortas. I forgot to ask the server but I believe it was Cemita style bread. The torta did lack the appropriate amount of met I feel. If you are going to serve a sandwich this big, don't make the bite have more bread than meat per ratio. The flavor was good though just wish it had more met in it. For the price they charge I was a bit let down. That is the other thing guys, for some reason the price of this establishment could rival a lot of places in the US so don't assume you will have more cost effective eats as you may find some places are close American pricing. Most likely because of the tourism in the region but I bet you can find the same or similar sandwich on a street stall for about 30-40% less and just as good. Be careful with the green habanero salsa too btw. It is very very very spicy

The enchiladas were delicious and accompanied by black beans. This restaurant has a large juice bar so try a fruit juice or smoothie. I loved my Kiwi, Strawberry and Orange fruit juice which was served in a huge glass. Service was friendly. The great staff are very welcoming. We came back the next night for their delicious Breaded Fish Fillet and Shrimp in Garlic Sauce. They are open for breakfast as well. It is CASH only so bring pesos or US dollars.
