An amazing dining experience overlooking the ocean. The service was fantastic starting with them sitting at the table and explaining everything down to the ingredient. Then a small plate of breads and cheese arrived on the house. We ordered the burrata to start with one shrimp pasta and one broccoli to follow and the food was phenomenal. So fresh, so tasty and perfectly cooked. My favorite meal in Tulum read more

Delicious. It felt a little strange though that every other person in the restaurant looked like they had a highly-trafficked Instagram & corresponding fashion blog and was from TRIBECA/ WILLAMSBURG/ SILVERLAKE / AUSTIN / PORTLANDIA . No matter though - my husband and I are from Brooklyn so who are we to talk! The food was fresh, nicely seasoned, great portions & relaxed and friendly service. This is would be the place to take your parents - not necessarily to explore local culture. read more

Posada Margherita is amazing. Beautiful decor, sexy beachfront seating, relaxing breeze. The fish marinated in sea water( I know how ridiculous that sounds) is ridiculously good. The pastas are al dente and made to order. The house appetizer of focaccia, pickled cauliflower and sharp cheese is such a delicious gesture and so fun to nibble with a great glass of wine. I will be back! read more

Delicious comes to mind, best food! Breathtaking views highly recommend for a sunset dinner in Tulum MX!!! Everything on menu is amazing. Enjoy!! read more

Made to order homemade pasta, shrimp dishes and good wine selection. Italian waiters with sexy italian accents! This beachfront gem is worth the visit, and they serve gluten free pasta if you go that route..be prepared for a relaxed meal with a good vibe and likely a packed house. The caprese salad had THE best burrata (was told it was from Italy) I've ever had, served with tomatoes and arugula. Cash only, prob best.to take a taxi there. If in Tulum, don't miss this delightful restaurant. read more

Definitely worth going to Posada Margarita when you are in Tulum and looking for some delicious pasta. The food is very good but it's the setting and atmosphere that is really something special. It's worth walking in just to look even if you're not having dinner. Obviously, the fresh pasta is the way to go here. You really can't go wrong. Bring more pesos than you think. The only downside for me was that this place is VERY expensive for Tulum. read more

My experience here was a very positive one ! The ambiance is quite hip; beach rustic chic, if you will. I came here for breakfast and ordered the French toast with fresh fruit. The French toast had a nice crunchy outside and a soft inside. I'll admit I was disappointed by the fruit since it wasn't fully ripe which took a huge toll on the flavor. The hostess was very, very friendly and welcoming, inviting me to use the beach as long as I liked. Since I was there early, I was able to get nicely situated in a shaded cabana and was able to lie and swing slowly back and forth relaxing as I listed to the waves. Be forewarned: this place is expensive. I ordered the French toast ($13) and the orange juice ($3) yet my bill came out to $21 since they automatically added in a 30% tip. Which is why I didn't give it five stars- the food was good but not outstanding enough to merit the price. read more

Adorable place and delish pasta. Enjoyed the ambiance but wish it had more of a breeze as was a bit warm near the kitchen. Other than that the food and staff were good and we had an enjoyable time. We stayed down the road at El Pez and was only about a ten minute walk. read more

Some of the best Italian food I've ever had outside of Italy. It's all about seafood and seafood pasta here... Pasta made fresh when you order it, boiled in sea water. A great meal, and beautiful atmosphere... Right in the sand.. A perfect place to watch the moonrise. read more

The setting is lovely, and service is great. The pasta is fresh made from scratch when you order it, and it shows. I wanted to get the fish, but heard so many amazing reviews about the pasta that I went with that instead (there's always Casa Banana's whole fish). The drink I ordered wasn't to my taste (a combo of whiskey & rose & something else) but the meal was delicious. It's on par with excellent Italian in NY, and definitely cures an Italian craving. read more

Best Italian food I've eaten in North/Central America. Tagliatelle e fettuccine fresco, cooked al dente. I'd bet the owner(s?) are Venetian, because they know how to prepare excellent seafood pasta! Overpriced, yes. Great wine selection, and their prices reflect it too. Definitely recommend splurging for a meal here; more authentic Italian here than in the States, definitely. (I'm Italian). read more

First time and will definitely be back! A simple menu but the food is incredibly fresh ( they make the pasta fresh after you order it)! We shared a fantastic salad and had the pasta with shrimp which was excellent. Save room for all of their incredible deserts! read more

My family and I had come to Tulum and stayed at a large chain resort with terrible food. We ventured into Tulum Beach and found Posada Margherita and it was seriously some of the BEST Italian food we've ever had and totally turned our trip around. They served us a huge boat of fresh made bread and huge chunks of Parmesan. Then came the caprese salad with homemade mozzarella. We ordered the fresh fish with potatoes, the shrimp pasta, and the pasta with tomato sauce. All of them were amazing. Fresh fish and shrimp caught from that day. We had gelato and the tiramisu for dessert which of course were also amazing. The service was so great, the guys were super friendly and answered any questions we had. And the wine was great! That part is important. I will absolutely be having my rehearsal dinner here. Can't wait to come back! read more

This is the perfect spot for a delicious, healthy, romantic dinner. The decor and candle lit tables are gorgeous and the breeze off the beach is spectacular. The service was really top notch - I love that the waiters come to your table and explain the menu. FOOD: I split fish, pasta and wine with the mister. The fish was great but I wish it had come out a bit warmer than it was. The pasta was insanely good and the wine was OK. The pre-meal bread plate came with the most delicious cauliflower - all of that was so good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

So good! The food was great except there was a limited menu. Ambiance was amazing, the service was good. Definitely recommend going here for dinner! read more

the bread that opened the meal was the best part. and the caprese salad was ok. the service was abysmal. the home-made pasta was well done and pretty good, but the sauce that accompanied it reminded me of something i would have made in college. overdone, not that flavorful. all around kind of eh. i feel bad saying negative things, but i really just didn't think the food was that special. the atmosphere was beautiful, cute design, good concept. but i wish i would have had the regular tomato sauce and i wish the staff would have paid attention to the guests so that we could have had another drink. the dessert was great too. read more

One of the best Italian meals I've ever had. The setting was magical and the service was excellent.

It was one of the best meals we had in Tulum. We stumbled across this gem our first night in Tulum. We had just checked into Coco Tulum and decided to walk up the beach looking for some dinner. The place is just adorable. Shabby chic at it's best. There was a wait so we grabbed a drink at the bar and proceeded to wait. The drinks were great! There's lots of interesting things to look at and loungey places to sit so the wait wasn't a big deal. it's right on the beach, you can hear the waves, really a beautiful setting. I would say that in general the prices are high, I think most of Tulum has inflated prices, so it is on par with that. There pasta is fresh and homemade daily along with their seafood that tastes like it just came walking right out of the sea. It's simple good food. Quality ingredients (and few of them) but fantastic flavors. I'm pretty sure the bread is also made daily. Overall, I wouldn't miss this place on a trip to Tulum. read more

Excellent. The best meal we had in Tulum and we had a lot of good ones there. Beautiful view and setting. Cozy, rustic chic. Incredible salad and pasta. I had the mushroom pasta, my wife had the shrimp pasta. Solid wine list. Service was a little touch and go, very attentive at first, then our waiter faded a bit. But the pace of the meal was spot on and each course was delicious. Go here if you're in Tulum. And bring cash, they don't take credit cards. read more

Excellent! Homemade pastas, fresh seafood, amazing atmosphere, and service that is perfect! Al fresco dining on the beach that uses all fresh ingredients from local markets. If your in Tulum and looking for a beautiful and quaint restaurant then this is a must! read more

The only reason I gave this restaurant any stars is because the ambiance is incredible. Other than that it was a huge disappointment after this came so highly recommended from multiple people which makes me think it was good initially but our experience was far from even subpar. The drinks were absolutely watered down. Not a problem if you are drinking wine or beer but my drink tasted like watery sour mix and I'm pretty certain there was no alcohol in it. The staff was completely obnoxious and rude. After we were sat the waiter came over two minutes later and said "I'm taking your order now." No one was ready and he was rolling his eyes every time someone asked a question. They also never offered us coffee or dessert after the meal. The food was borderline inedible. My fish smelled and tasted fishy. The pastas were overcooked and bland. The best part of the meal was the cauliflower anti pasta that came with the meal. There are so many better options in Tulum - better off just dropping in for a drink at the bar to check out the magical setting... read more

Delicious pasta - better than I had in Rome. Get the shrimp and zucchini pasta. Only 4 stars because they have no apps and only ok dessert.

Great Italian food, at a nice spot. Staff is very friendly, though the owner and the hostess got stressed by our large group of people. We told them in advance, but they didn't want to set anything till we were all there, so it became kind of a mess for a while. We finally got a table, a seat and delicious pasta. read more

Posada Margherita has some amazing chefs producing amazing food. We dined here in late February and loved it. My fiancé is Italian and we live in NYC, so we have a lot of experience with eating delicious Italian food and Posada blew us away. The mushroom pasta and shrimp dish had incredible flavor. The restaurant was busy but not too loud. Definitely will return here on our next trip to Tulum! read more

Beautiful spot to get FOOD POISONING, we have been sick for 2 days, what a way to end the trip.

Great food and setting. Cash only. Amazing bread spread. Everything was fresh and delicious. A little pricier than other places nearby but totally worth it. read more

We walked on the beach over to Posada from Coco Tulum. The décor and ambiance of this place is amazing. It offers a laid back, rustic, beach vibe! We didn't get the chance to try the food, but ordered amazing fresh juices. The service was a little slow, but since we were on vacation/relaxing, I didn't mind. The views of the ocean were beautiful! Next time I am in Tulum, I will definitely come back to try the food! read more

Nice view beach was Meh but very poor customer service. This restaurant thinks it's located in Malibu very pretentious and food was overall MEH read more

Very good food and service. The waiter was very attentive and friendly. Try the pasta with lobster. If you can pay in Pesos. They have a terrible USD exchange rate. Other than the unpleasant surprise when receiving the check, this was a very good experience. read more

The place is absolutely lovely, every little corner is decorated beautifully plus it's located directly at the beach. We chose the pasta which was good but the sauce consisted of too much oil. Only 3 stars because the food is too expensive, eg 285M$ for veggie pasta plus 16% tax. An afternoon coffee might be a good choice instead. read more

Last night we attempted to eat here based on a recommendation of our hotel staff. The experience was one of the worst I have had considering we didn't actually dine at the establishment. First off it's a little hard to understand where the shops end and dining starts as the host (if you can call him that's) is scurrying around telling patrons what to do rather than greeting. The ambiance is nice, sort of a WeHo meets Caribbean feel but ambience is not hard to come by in Tulum. There seemed to be some wait and as mentioned the host was nowhere to be found, so I approached the host station as I receive dirty looks from all the 20something (I think I'm somebodies) waiting to be seated. To reach for what looks like it could be a menu the host arrives and grabs said possible menu from my hands as I tell him I was wanting to see the menu since I am vegetarian. He tells me "there is no menu, it will explained after we are seated and they do not serve any vegetarian food" in a smugg, I don't have time for you sort of way. Seriously, I live in Las Vegas and spend a lot of time in LA West Hollywood etc, so my tolerance for trend, smug pompous attitudes is quite high, I would have walked out on this place anywhere I was but Tulum is one of the last places I hope to see it. From what I read the food is hit and miss here, hopefully management can make some changes because who has time for this type of experience, not me. read more

Simple yet elegant food Sat at small table overlooking beach wonderful breeze Would most certainly return to again read more

Fantastic lunch while on vacation with family. Fresh made pasta and excellent seafood. Interesting drink list and the have fresh juices for a variety of functions. Highly recommend at least 1 meal while in Tulum. Just make sure to bring cash. read more

Great pasta, but limited menu. If you're looking for pasta, this place is fantastic. Not many other options though. Great setting also. On the beach side, unlike many other good spots in Tulum. read more

I wish the food was as good as the service and the ambiance, I'm a foodie so taste is always number one for me, I really wanted it to be good but it wasn't, the prices are high and for no reason! They charge around 20-30$ (USD) a dish read more

I'm still trying to figure out if I'll go back. The first night we tried to go, the host/owner (?) saw my friend looking at the menu and began going on and on about how 'important' this restaurant is. He went further by reading the entire menu to him assuming he didn't understand Italian or the nuances of a romance language, I suppose. We left. The next night we tried again (starving, mind you) and the same guy says, "Still very important here," ugh. A group of us sat down anyway. The decor is how you would want it to be in Tulum; fashion forward, bohemian chic. It took the server 20 minutes to place glasses and bread; which, we ate (2 kids were with us and they were very cool with kids) immediately because we were so hungry. My fish was tough. The flavors were good but the consistency bummed me out. The fresh pasta was very good. If I go back, I'll order that again. Service was too busy working the table of hotties behind us LOL. read more

The food was amazing! Perfect al dente pasta with a great ambiance, Alessandro is a great host! Will go back for sure, our waiter was super nice and made us feel at home, I wish they take credit cards read more

Highly recommended for pasta, its handmade to order. Shrimp is also their specialty. Great location.

My wife and I ventured over to Posada Margherita one evening during our honeymoon on the recommendation of a friend - we were not disappointed. The prices were on par with some of the nicer restaurants along the beach, while the pasta y mariscos were fresh and delicious. The cocktails were a bit pricey, and the waiter breezed through the menu explanation quite rapidly, but the ambiance was lovely. Our only advice would be to arrive a touch before dark because it's otherwise difficult to see (menu, scenery, etc.). Cash only, USD or Pesos. read more

There's some great food where I live in NYC, but this restaurant is my favorite thus far. I love Italian food (and have been to Italy) and this place does it right. I know, I know...great Italian in Mexico...but it's a piece of heaven. The pasta is al dente, the bread melts in your mouth.... I had a glass of rose overlooking the water - seriously, I was so happy. We also had a fruit juice, cappuccino and the tiramisu for dessert which were all yummy. The service was great too... We had our 6 mos old baby with us and they were very accommodating. I took my shoes off and walked to the beach to sit on their swing to put the baby down to sleep and then came back in between dishes. We had a great experience! Thank you staff and chef! I will be back to Tulum just so I can have your food again! :) read more
