We love tulum, the beaches, the cenotes and of course the food! Tulum has world famous restaurants that you’ll find on every blog but our goal is to give you local insights to find restaurants that will blow your mind.

This time around we will be focusing on Tulum town.

Mestixa

Wow wow wow the food at Mestixa. The first time I went there I talked about it non stop for days. They are self described as “an Asian and Mexican street food concept” and the combination will leave you wanting more. My personal favorite was the shrimp plate but my recommendation is to order a few dishes and share them. That way you get the enjoy the full experience. They also have great cocktails. Located right in Satelite it is a great place to go to get the same quality as the hotel zone but without all the traffic.

Cetli

Cetli is known for its amazing authentic Mexican food. Walking in is like walking into a Mexican grandmas house. The atmosphere makes you feel right at home and you will remember the food forever. To start off, we recommend the mole tasting plate. Mole is as traditional as Mexican gets. They offer mole made from chocolate, almond, and more!

They also have an appetizer plate with different types of jam and cheese served in a tiny corn husk. Again this is the type of place where you want to order lots of dishes to share. And the salads. Wow the salads. One of the most refreshing dishes I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. My personal recommendation is the chile relleno. This is a dish typically reserved for Christmas time but here we get the luxury of having it year round. It is a green pepper stuffed with beef and topped in a cream based sauce.
