    On the hunt for the best taco in Tulum and this place was tied with Pepe's ("best taco in Tulum") next door on Google. After waiting for 15 minutes I finally asked for a menu. Waited another 15 for my drink, then another 30 for my four tacos. Not a busy night, but the expeditor and kitchen are clearly all over the place. The setting is however, absolutely beautiful. Candlelit tables with atmospheric music, plants everywhere, all outdoor. Very romantic. I snapped the pastor, chicken, fish (grilled, recommended by the waiter, and the octopus. The best one was the pastor, it has a very Mongolian beef flavor profile, not so authentic. This has never happened to me before and I'm sad to say, I had to spit out the grilled fish. Tasted foul and almost had a bleach-y after taste. Octopus is clearly frozen and over cooked, too chewy. Chicken is super dry, begs for toppings. Overall, very disappointed with the food quality and service given the hype on google. Pepe's next door is phenomenal and certainly takes the -taco-.

    Can't remember the name of the drink but it was a margarita and it was amazing!

    Omg yes, yes YES!!! the margaritas and the variety of tequila, yes. The guac, yes, the TACOS--YES!! 5 stars with excellent customer service! The atmosphere is cute, small, intimate and away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. I loved every moment! I could've done without the stray animals walking around the restaurant, but other than that it was amazing! Will be back!

    All meat was cooked to perfection and the flavors was so good! Wish we had more time in Tulum to go back for more.

    Was a bit underwhelmed by this spot to be honest. The aesthetics were on point, open air concept…read morewith widely spaced tables, candles, decent music. They start you off with a complimentary piece of toast with some vegetable chunks. Each of us got a quarter of a piece of dry white bread that I would pass on in the future but the vegetables paired with it had decent flavor. I got the passion fire as my drink and very much enjoyed it. It was sweet and refreshing with just the right amount of heat. 9/10. For appetizers my group split the duck tartlet with pink mole, the sweet potato agrodolce, and the hamachi tiradito. The duck was well cooked and tender but lacking in flavor. The pink mole wasn't adding much to the dish other than creaminess. The tart shell was awful. It was thick and dry and reminiscent of a premade store bought tart shell. 5/10. The sweet potato agrodolce was good, the sweet potato and squash ribbons had a nice firm texture and snap but all of the flavor came from the yogurt sauce that they were sitting on. 7/10. The hamachi tiradito was my favorite of the apps. The fish was fresh and light, the flavors were interesting with the combination of the sweet banana vinaigrette, the salty umami ponzu, and the sweet tangy mango, chili, cucumber salsa. This dish was the best of the night, 8/10. For mains we split the catch of the day, which was red snapper, and the broken beet. The fish was underwhelming, being a bit overcooked and dry. The sauce it was drenched in helped with the dryness but didn't lend much flavor. The yuca chips were a nice addition, adding a nice crunch to contrast the soft textures of the fish and sauce but again, not lending much in flavor. Chips could have been salted. 6/10. The beets were cooked well, they were soft and tender and paired nicely with the sour cream, turmeric oil, and salad. The turmeric oil added acidity, the salad added freshness and also acidity from the dressing it had, and the sour cream added a nice creaminess and tangy. These flavors offset the richness of the beets nicely. My second favorite dish, 8/10. For dessert we went with the "corn," which was a cake shaped like a corn cob with a chopped nut center and what I think was real corn kernels across the exterior, paired with a corn ice cream. Overall a solid dessert, the chopped nuts added a nice crunch however the cake as a whole was a bit dry. The ice cream added some needed moisture and paired nicely with the cake, though the texture was a bit icy, more like a corn sorbet than a corn ice cream. 6/10. Overall a good experience but with its high prices and small portions I wouldn't go back. The apps were on average between $20-$30 usd, with mains being between $25-$50 usd, and dessert $20 usd.

    Nü is the perfect spot for a celebratory dinner! The food and cocktails were amazing and reasonably…read morepriced. Our favorite was the duck confit tartlets and short rib. The entire place was beautiful decorated with so much greenery. Service was attentive and they also have bug spray in case you forget. Would highly recommend to anyone going to Tulum!
