If Ceviche is your jam then this is your place! We came for a late lunch and were told that a Salsa band would be there at 6pm. On a Wednesday night!! But back to the ceviche: we had the big tower Torresona, of ceviche doused in Clamato juice. Raw and cooked shrimp, tuna, avocado and octopus and cukes. The Clamato was a little different. I realize I'm a ceviche purist so next time I'll get the classic. But my date lined it a lot. We also had the Tostada Salmon. Raw salmon with pineapple chunks. Very refreshing. Over a crispy chip (tho it was juice-laden by the end). They have some nice artisanal beers as well. All around a mighty fine place with great service, low key vibe. Come!
If you are wanting to lave the hotel zone and the exorbitant price gouging, there are many good eats in el Centro de Tulum. I ordered a salmon ceviche tostada from La Negra Tomas and it was so fresh and filling- much better than the hotel ceviche from the night before. Two meals and 2 non-alcoholic drinks for less than $25! One might argue that the cost of a taxi equals out the cost, but if you are here to experience the culture- there are other modes of transportation
La Negra Tomasa is an absolute must in Tulum. It's away from the hotels in the heart of the city and even locals rave about this place. Tulum has an amazing seafood culture but LNT takes flavors and creativity to the next level for an awesome vibe, great service and amazing fresh seafood. Go.
You want big portions fresh seafood and affordable prices just ditch the hotel zone and come here. Had the mixed raw and steamed shrimp ceviche for 18$ and it fed both me and my 6'5 gym bro bf! Next door is a coconut water shop and across the street is a kava bar! Definitely come here
Fucking cute spot in the city, food was so good we had to come back a couple days later bc I couldn't STOP thinking about that Salas they served with the oyster and clams (almejas) chocolata perfect with a ice cold Bohemia I want to bathe in that salsa! We got the Aguachile Mamalón too and so good, salsa verde with just the right amount of heat and so much depth. Shrimp, octopus & Scallops were decent size too (like a U-15), oh and can't forget the guacamole con chapulines (roasted grasshoppers) our server Dana was super nice! Second night we wanted to try a few different things so we got a couple of tostadas and a Caldo de Mariscos. They were both ok, the tostadas depending what you get was drowned in liquid so if you don't eat it in 90sec you'll have soggy mess. ** pro tip ** they serve these little cups of punchy shrimp soup as an amuse bouche, ask for a few and dump it into ur caldo
This place is amazing! Food is delicious with down to earth prices (in the middle of trendy overpriced and underwhelming competitors) Service was so friendly and the patio set up invites you to disconnect and live the moment. We also saw a typical Mayan fire dance. Very impressive.
This restaurant lives up to the hype . Service was exceptional, live music was awesome. The tostadas are absolutely fantastic . We came back a second time . Got the guacamole with grasshoppers. Definitely a great idea. They taste like chicken . La torresona gives you a bit of a show The tostada with tuna and the black sauce was the best plate imo. Cantarito was the best
The tuna tacos were incredible! Sushi tower was great as well. Enjoyed the tuna in the sushi tower the best. Everything here was amazing. Live music, great ambience, & a must see. You are missing out if you don't have a meal here! Service was also amazing. As soon as we ordered the food was delivered. So fresh & tasty!
What a vibe, what an absolute vibe! Dining in at this restaurant truly made my entire trip! Upon walking in, I was greeted by warm and welcoming customer service and seated promptly. They also made sure that the fans were on, to keep the air flowing as it was a hot day. My waiter (Yisus) was also on point! He was very tentative to all of his tables, making sure that they had what they needed. He did not miss a beat! Yisus was also great with recommending delicious dishes. I ordered the pulpo taco, shrimp aguachile (piña) currd in pineapple, and a salmon tostone. While I waited on the dishes, I snacked on totopes (tortilla chips), with a delicious medley of salsas to choose from (spicy, savory, mild). The food came out in no time! The pulpo taco was nice and juicy and loaded with flavor. The fresh toppings and delicious sauce made it all the more appetizing! The shrimp aguachile was both bold and flavorful. I could taste the pineapple and other flavor elements, fresh lime essence encompassed each bite! I was not able to try the salmon tostada, as I was too full and packed it to go. I am excited to enjoy it later on! The cherry on top was listening to the merengue band play as the evening started. Pure soul and rhythm!!! Cheers to good eats!
Writing some reviews on yelp to help these places get the attention they deserve (although part of me selfishly wants to keep these a secret). This place tastes as good as it feels! The vibes are great with its intimate but lively interior courtyard space. Stumbled across this randomly walking on this street upon arrival to MX, so happy this was my first place! First of all, their appetizer chips + fish juice + lime shooter thing is AMAZING. SOOOOO good I can't believe it's not the norm everywhere. Split one of their signature tostadas and ceviche. Oh my god, everything tastes so good and fresh! The ceviche portion was huge. The tostada was such a surprise, it was ahi tuna with a blackberry balsamic glaze, WOW! Service was quick and kind. Can't believe how affordable and amazing it was, we loved it so much we ended up coming back for another meal. This time I tried their version of pina colada - it was fancy and strong! The first time we got to experience some local live entertainment. All in all it's a fun, delicious good time and I'll definitely be returning next time I'm in Tulum! Muchas gracias :)
5/5, easy! This spot is so good that my party and I went twice during the same vacation time - never happens we nearly have a cardinal rule against this. The ambiance, service, pricing, location, and food are what will leave you missing Tulum in its purity, should you be from elsewhere like us. About the food: we tried a lot, but standouts were the tuna tacos, octopus tacos, and the Chapulines (just go for it) over guacamole. I don't drink, but my party enjoyed the ojo rojo most. We might be back for a third sitting - stay tuned.
Very cool spot with delicious food. Looks like an alley between buildings, but has beautiful plants, plenty of shade and a very cool atmosphere. Shrimp ceviche was the only miss; just whole raw shrimp on a plate. The tostados were the way to go; so good. Two tostados is enough for a large meal for one person. Split a few to try more. The mar y Tierra is exactly what it sounds like and I could live off just eating this forever. The La Nuevo was delicious, but the onion rings we ate separately because it wasn't possible to do otherwise. The negrit que enamora stole the show with a ton of fresh tuna and perfectly flavored chili sauce. Delicious!
Great service, great food ! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. The pulpo taco was my favorite !

This popped up as a suggestion and based on the reviews and the line when I got there I figured I'd give it a try. Had to be good, right? Ordered two safe options: fish taco and shrimp taco and was highly disappointed. Also ordered the tostada mixta. I'm not a huge fan of ceviches, etc but wanted to see what the hype was. Personally didn't like it so this review is mainly based on the tacos. They were supposed to be fried in a tempura style batter. They arrived cold, no crisp or texture. It was almost like they pre-fried them and attempted to reheat on the grill but didn't leave them on long enough. Also the tortillas weren't heated up. I'd pass on the tacos and stick to the other options. They do welcome you with a plate of chips and shrimp broth which I thought was a nice touch. Otherwise very lively place. Cocktails looked good. Likely a wait. read more
I wish I had found this spot before our last day. It was highly recommended by a local, it did not disappoint. My only wish is that I would have ordered more food loo to try more of their offerings but we were in a time crunch. Food was very delicious & seafood focused ( perfect for me as a pescatarian) Not super pricey, reasonable. Recommend the Atun frito taco. Service was sweet, quick and attentive to our table her name was Marilyn and I was so pleased with how she kept an eye on us to make sure we had what we needed. I love the ambiance it reminded me of like a cuban setting or something with the colors. A must for seafood lovers !!! read more

the La Torresona is really good and worth a try if you dont mind eating raw. That sweet and savoriness of the sauce was perfect! portions are huge too. Had we known though that both our orders were a little similar we wouldve tried something else - we had the La torresona and Classic mixto. Oh well. Space was spacious enough and clean too. Service was also good and communication was not an issue. Glad our hotel front desk recommended the place and we rented a scooter to get here. read more

The seafood was fresh and delicious. Tostadas La Roja, La Verde, La Chiquilla, and Negrita Que Enamora are a must! Great service and drinks!!! read more
Went on a Thursday evening and there was live music! There is an abundance of seafood dishes that were fresh and delicious. The biggest surprise was the tostada with berry flavor--just wow! I personally would skip the tostada with salmon and pineapples. There are so many great options on the menu. If you don't eat seafood, I would recommend not coming here though. This was one of the best nights I had in tulum. The vibe, food, and drinks were just out of this world. Don't miss out! read more

Left the hotel area and ventured in to town and oh my goodness this was the best meal I had in Tulum. And the prices phenomenal! Drinks did not let us down either, well made and less than half the prices near the resort. read more

What an incredible experience. The food, ambience, music, and service were all 5 stars. We ended up having dinner here 2 nights in a row to try more of the menu and requested to be sat in Franco's section. Every plate was created with intention and so much flavor. My favorite dish was the "Negrita qué enamora"- a little sweet, a little salty, a little spice. A MUST try at La negra Tomasa. Thanks again Franco!! read more

They have good service. read more

Was recommended this vibey seafood spot by a resort staff member on our day out in the city. Just steps from the Main Street, this gem is tucked away and an absolute plant lovers paradise! We ordered the ceviche, oysters, quesabirria de marlin and frito de atun tacos. Everything was impeccable and fresh! They also had a great assortment of hot sauces and salsas! read more

Super cute restaurant with yummy food and outdoor seating! We enjoyed the fish and shrimp tacos best. The service was great and there was also a fire show which was so intense yet fun. read more
I went here with a group of 9 during a bachelorette party in Tulum. The food and service was amazing. Our waiter was kind, funny, spoke great english (and Spanish) and was happy to entertain our group! I had the ceviche and micheladas. The view and vibe of the restaurant was awesome. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner out or drinks with a sunset view. read more

Loved this restaurant on our trip to Tulum. If you are downtown it's a must visit. Our waitress and waiter were very kind and attentive. The food was all good. The drinks were great. Loved the guava water and the ceviche the most. Great music selection and Tulum vibes. read more

Food was good but not amazing, fair price (~$35USD for 2 of us) for what it is. The popcorn chicken is DIVINE !!! Definitely a must try if you come here. (: read more
Food was delicious. Guacamole was freshly made. My favorite was the Pulpo (Octopus) Taco. All the flavors (spices and sauces) complemented each other well. Would I order it again? Most definitely! I thought the Gobber Taco was just okay. Would I order that again, probably not. Tortilla chips were freshly made and delicious. The soup was flavorful, although fishy, yet tasty. Overall, I would come back and try other things and also get more Pulpo Tacos! read more
