  1. A

    Salsalito Taco Shop

    Far enough removed from the main strip that you won’t be sucking exhaust fumes, this palapa-thatched eatery has great fish and shrimp tacos – prepared just the way we like them with loads of cabbage and freshly chopped carrots on top. The fresh chips with just a hint of lime are the best in all of Quintana Roo.

  2. B

    La Nave

    Perched over Avenida Tulum, this open-air Italian joint is perpetually packed. You’ll find delicious pasta dishes – who doesn’t love a bit of authentic spaghetti amatriciana? – plus crispy stone-fired pizzas and an assortment of continental meat and fish dishes.

    Charlie’s

    An old standby with attractive conch-shell decor and a wall made of old glass bottles, it’s near the bus station and offers your choice of indoor or courtyard dining. The food is largely Mexican, with a selection of salads thrown in.

    El Mariachi

    Popular with locals and tourists alike, this open-air spot delivers yummy slow-cooked pork enchiladas, fresh grilled fish and about every cut of meat you could imagine. Find it between Orión and Centauro.

    Nachos 20°

    Another appealing option. North of the T-junction on the Tulum-Punta Allen road, it has tables on a rocky bluff above the water, offering some fabulous views.

    París de Noche

    Serves some big portions, so bring an appetite or a friend. The French owner won a Time Out award at the restaurant he ran in London. He serves a mix of French and Mexican dishes (as well as steaks and seafood) that include escargots, ceviche, and a delicious green salad with chèvre that's a full meal in itself. There's often two-for-one drink specials and a tasty comida corrida.

  7. Gaudi Café

    Just south of the bus station on the same side of the street, Gaudi Café offers great fresh-squeezed juices and good coffee. Spotlessness and relaxing music make it a great way to start the morning.
