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.

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.

The corn battered pancake-like shell was soft sweetness. The Cachapa was much larger than I thought so it was filling! I was happy and my tummy was full to kick off the morning right. Notes: Cute place a few blocks from main 5th Avenue. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Clean and spacious. The server was awesome! Super welcoming and helpful. I was practicing my Spanish while he was practicing English. It was fun and engaging. The other workers were friendly too checking in if I needed anything. They provided 4 shot sized juices to start and my fav was passion fruit. Had a great time and a great breakfast! Definitely saving this place for a future visit!

For my entrée, I had the skirt steak, and it was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sweet potato with honey and cinnamon was absolutely delicious. My only real complaint is the portion sizes on a couple of items. The salad was very small, and I would have loved a more generous serving. I also ordered an amaretto sour. It was a little weak at first, so I asked for more amaretto, which made it better, but it still wasn't quite as strong as I prefer. The service was phenomenal. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed myself. I would definitely return.

The flavor of what we ordered was definitely accentuated by how the food was prepared. I guess I can't complain about the "Fuego "part of their food. Why it is lacking to stars is that basically everything they served was charred, there was nothing else offered that could balance out all the burnt food we were eating. So it made everything start to taste the same which was rather unfortunate considering how tasty the food initially seemed. We did get a bit burnt out (haha) with all the char and nothing fresh to balance the burnt flavor. This place would be better for a snack I guess?

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...

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.
