    Don Cafeto (2008)

    I think Don Cafeto is one of the oldest established restaurants in Tulum. I first visited this place years ago when there were only a handful of restaurants open in the downtown. Since then there have been many fancier restaurants open, but Don's always stays popular (with both locals and tourists). The service is quick and the large menu consists of mostly traditional Mexican dishes.
    The great location allows you to watch people passing by Tulum's main drag.
    The portions are large, served hot, and you get a lot for what you pay for--a big basket of nachos with salsa and pickles comes as a complimentary appetizer for your meal.
    Don't eat the green habanero peppers that are mixed in with the pickled carrots. It's a very bad idea.
    Be sure to check out the crazy bathrooms--you'll think you took a wrong turn and ended up in some alley.

    Chicken tacos, hamburgers, fajitas. The tacos are great--smothered with cheese and sour cream. If you like the traditional "mole" sauce, there are several dishes served with that too. And many fish dishes.

    I was told my the locals that Don Cafeto's was a great place to eat, and they were absolutely right. The food was excellent and the prices were good not overpriced. The ambience in the restaurant is very lively. Don Cafetos cateres to tourist so you find people from all over. I would surely go back to try more of their dishes.

    Shrip Cocktail, served a little different from what I am used to but delicious. My husband had tacos de carne azada, heavenly.

    It's an open-air bar with a live dj (the music is pretty cheesy American/Mexican) The food was excellent, pretty traditional Mexican fare. The best part was the margaritas. They knock your socks off! One night around 11pm the marriachis actually rolled up and played a few songs. The were a bit disheveled and we had a strong suspicion that they all were pretty wasted. This made the evening only that much more hilarious!

    The carnes platter for 2...best fajitas in town!

  • We didn't like the selection of restaurants on the road to see the ruins so we hopped in a taxi and headed to the town of Tulum about a 5 minute cab ride away.

    Don Cafeto's is right on the highway.

    The queso fundido was pretty tasty.

    Excellent, authentic Mexican cuisine. We were the only touristas there, it appears to be a local joint. The place is painted a rather vibrant orange which sounds bad but it just makes it incredibly cheerful once you adjust to it. There was plenty of food, the staff was great and IT WAS REASONABLY PRICED! Try the chicken mole, it's awesome. We got a mango drink, made with good water in a blender as you watch, apparently this is one of their specialties. Ours was safe and not bad; I think it depends on the fruit. We had the extra bonus of a Mexican Western playing on the t.v., which added to the fun (graveyards, sombreros, evil women, sensuous men). Added bonus, they were very nice to our kid!

    The Chicken Mole was tender, the sauce was really exceptional and it was served with rice, beans, etc. so it was a full meal.

    I'm sure an ocean view makes everything taste better. And the shrimp tacos and pina coladas at cabanas copal taste really good!
    the hamburger was ok, but I'd stick with the tacos....who goes to mexico for a hamburger anyway? don't know why i was craving them on this trip.
    the shrimp tacos use the same marinade at the seafood fiesta we had the night before, I'm sure if we would not have had that same sort of taste the night before we would have been REALLY thriled with them

    shrimp tacos and pina coladas!

    El mirador is a small restaurant about 500 metres from the ruins of Tulum which also rents simple cabanas. The restaurant is located above the beach and, although simple (and admittedly apparently not very clean) it serves delicious food. Service is relaxed - try to place your order when the restaurant is still empty, or you'll be waiting for ages.

    The grilled fish and the fajitas were good, but remember to try the burritos... a real tasty experience.

    This is a great place to have a bite or even simly have a drink: Cabana el Paraiso. It's a casual restaurant and bar right on Paraiso beach.

    Food is simple but good - there's obviously not a wide choice on the menu. There's a great choice of drinks and cocktails - but if it's a crowded day they may run out of ice late in the afternoo, hence no more cocktails. In this case, have a refreshing cerveza.

  • This tiny little restaurant is clean, sparse and a refreshingly modern little spot run by a fantastic couple. The food was amazing and a value to boot. It's a great change from the (also stunning however) fish of the neighboring places. Rosemary scented lust is what I remember. soooooooo good.

    They had a simple but complete menu. We both had the fish as I am addicted to the fresh offering. rosemary and fresh herbs in abundance made it a nice change from the mexican spices and garlic/butter of the competition. The slow roasted potatoes were perfecto.A rich soup started us off followed by an amazing salad, herbed fish fillet and roasted vegetables with roasted potatoes and a dessert boasting totally amazing chocolate sauce.

    The food is one set price for the whole meal and all courses and impossible to beat.
