    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!

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.

We were not disappointed. We started with calamari, which was excellent, and mussels, which were amazing....we agreed it was one of the best versions we'd ever had. The mussels were served in a delicious Thai style broth that had us sopping up every last drop with the grilled toast accompaniment. If you enjoy mussels this is a MUST try. Our entrees were also terrific. My wife and her friend had the skirt steak and I had the jerk chicken, which was as good (if not better) as any I've had in Jamaica. Great side dishes too. The new owners have revamped the entire menu, including drinks. The "Salt Rock-tini" is a take on the classic drink with tropical flavors and goes down easily....maybe a bit too easily! Bottom line: Salt Rock Grille is a great place for casual lunch or dinner (I see they've also added breakfast if you're staying near 5th Ave.) or to enjoy drinks while doing some people watching. As a bonus, it's away from the densest part of 5th Ave. and the atmosphere is much more relaxed. Highly recommended.

Julian was especially caring and really attentive. -The price is fair -The food is great We weren't too hungry, so we shared the special of the day which was Penne with salmon in a delicious creamy sauce with dill and capers. It also came with the house salad (we substituted for the Caesar salad). Every meal also comes with homemade bread with mango chutney and also a bruschetta with a special tomato salsa topping. All of this for only $150 pesos! Oh and did I mention that they have a great dessert selection too?! We were debating over the key lime pie or brownie. We chose the brownie and it did not disappoint. It was a warm melt-in-your-mouth delight!

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...
