"Wow! What a find! Hands down some of the best fish tacos and tostadas that we’ve had in this trip. We had the tempura fish tacos, Aguachile tostada and tuna tostada. Plus guacamole obviously. The portions are super generous so can easily share each for a couple. The hostess was excellent too and full of life. 10/10"

"Excellent restaurant. Other restaurant owners in the area go here to eat - which says a lot $150peso margaritas. Top quality seafood and the bartender and servers were extremely nice with a great vibe and atmosphere. Tons of salsas at every table, and tons of different imported beers from around the world. This a peak authentic dining Tulum experience without pretense - totally recommended! There's only about 14 4 person tables are 2 small seats at the bar, so seating space is sometimes limited but that just adds to the cozy feeling. And dogs are allowed in the restaurant and they are super sweet supporting the local street dogs get medical care, so it's really awesome to support them in doing that too! Excellent value."

"Excellllllent food, great prices, lovely vibes. The tuna tostada is EXCEPTIONALLY delicious — I’d post a photo, but I inhaled it before I could take a pic! The guac and mixto ceviche were outstanding too (pictured with my husb’s aguachille tostada, which was good, but is not my thing usually)… can’t wait to get get hungry again in a few hours and eat the to-go tuna tostada I got for later!"

"I’ve had my fair share of tacos in Mexico, but this spot served the best shrimp taco I’ve ever had in my life. It’s an authentic little Mexican gem — a charming hole-in-the-wall with wonderful staff and a lovely, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend. My husband and I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back!"
