    Tamborean Tower
    Rayanna B.

    After a long night of street food crawl, I requested to my boyfriend to eat fresh and raw seafood. We went to their smaller location close to Downtown Tulum while walking around. The ambiance and service was top notch, we were very well taken care of a younger gentleman who was our server for the night. Order their micheladas because it paired so well with their food! Their homemade sauces are also a must but some can be very, very spicy.

    An amazing find in Tulum. Fresh ceviche like none I've ever tasted. This is the Yucatan!

    Aguachile

    Amazing Seafood! For appetizer I recommend the coconut shrimp. We ordered a variety of aguachile, shrimp cocktail, and ceviches. The shrimp and fish tacos were also delicious. They have a big selection of salsas they bring to the table and you must try them all! We have two toddlers and they have the cutest little children's area with toys that kept my kids entertained while we waited for our food. Definitely recommend!! It was our favorite restaurant we visited on our trip!

    Muy rica la comida de los tacos a los mariscos frescos! Very good seafood I recommend! We will definitely be going again family enjoyed it!

    What an amazing restaurant!!! The food is to die for and the ambience is fantastic. They bring out around 8-9 different sauces you can use for your food and they were all incredibly tasty. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Mayra, and she was an absolute gem and a very hard working and successful woman. We ordered the Tamborean tower and the Marlin burrito, and I truly wish I had known about this place sooner, I would had come back to eat those dishes again in a heartbeat, but unfortunately we had to go back to our country the next day. I WILL be returning when I come back to Tulum and I encourage everyone to come and enjoy this amazing seafood.

    You must visit this place if you like seafood! We had marlin tacos, tower, tuna taco, and a few other dishes and everything was amazing! The fried fish was a bit bland, so I wouldn't order it there again, but we're definitely coming back for other plates.

    Interior

    It's a cute, Instagram-inspiring restaurant with a cheerful and open interior with high ceilings. I looked at all the photos before ordering and had to get the tostadas. My favorites were the tuna tostada and the shrimp burrito. I didn't expect much when ordering the burrito, but that was my favorite thing. It was pretty much drenched in this creamy sauce though so that is probably the only thing if I could change anything- to get the sauce on the side. Other than that, the purple cabbage gave it a good crunch and complimented the perfectly seasoned shrimp. The tuna tostadas (and all the other tostadas) come piled high on top of a small tortilla and it tasted fresh and the flavors were nicely balanced with the onions and mangos. Not my favorite- the tostamarlin taco. The presentation was pretty with the slices of avocado on top (with again too much of the creamy sauce all over the tacos) but it was just too heavy for me with the dense marlin fish inside with the whole thing deep-fried. This restaurant is on the second floor, so be prepared to walk up some steps!

    Ceviche Sabor de Mar
    William K.

    Read about this spot online. Stellar restaurant. Agua purificada for the ice so no worries. Ceviche was fantastic, and the chef included a complimentary seafood brine/soup. Best part was Bruno. He was bilingual and had the best attitude. Super helpful with the menu and very patient. If I return to Tulum and this restaurant I hope he's there again because he made the experience above par. Thanks Bruno!

    tuna ceviche

    The best seafood omg! The tuna ceviche and coconut shrimp were amazing and the mango mojitos and passionfruit margs were out of this world. This is a great atmosphere with excellent service for an affordable price. One of my favs in tulum.

    Volcano Tower Tostada hit the spot after a long day of snorkeling!
    Linda F.

    We discovered this hole in the wall in Tulum. What a gem! We ordered the Volcano Tower tostada - piled high with cucumbers, onions, cooked shrimp, fresh tuna, fresh shrimp, and topped with breaded fried shrimp. The chef plating was gorgeous and tasted even better. We also got the marlin taco and the shrimp tacos which were also very tasty. Very generous portion size as well. Only 1 waiter for 6 tables but service was welcoming and fine. Glad we can experience authentic food experience in Tulum. Will definitely return when we're in town.

    Small spot , hole in the wall but it's definitely a gem! All great choices of seafood ceviche and tostada. The dish was excellently prepared! My favorite was tropical tostado! Seafood is fresh and zesty! You can't go wrong with any selection on the menu.

Great mixture of flavors! Chocolate ice cream - beautifully presented and some rich chocolate ice cream as well, and another dessert that I forgot. So maybe that one may be just okay LOL * drinks - Miami Nice (passionfruit) and a no name drink that the resto blends into a clear drink, served with a guava block. You take a piece of the guava block and leave it on your tongue, and sip your drink. Very very smooth! Would highly recommend this unknown drink. Michelin starred, reservations highly recommended. Better to come without heels since the flooring is made out of pebbles, dim lighting contributing to the dining experience, and fantastic service.

It was very intimate and perfect for couples but can definitely accommodate a large party. The cocktail I ordered was the Naked in Tulum which was mezcal based and tasted good, so much so that I ordered another one. The food we ordered included: the bone marrow, scallop crudo, Mayan octopus, suckling pig, and grilled sourdough. All were good. However the stand out for me was the Mayan octopus (highly recommend). For dessert we ordered the Marquesita which was not too sweet and a great finish to our meal. I can see why this place was on the Michelin guide. But be prepared to pay a pretty penny for your meal. Shout out to our server Melissa for being attentive, friendly, and giving us recs.
