It’s always important to know about the cuisine and good food spots when you visit somewhere new so I try to always list a few options for you. Here are five restaurants in Tulum, Mexico ranging from touristy to traditional, low cost to high cost, and small cafe vibes to beach view vibes.

Stacks of fruit. Heaps of seaweed. Rustic furniture. Raw charm. Tulum is naturally beautiful in the way a place or thing doesn’t have to try hard to be anything but what it is. Being here urges you to acknowledge the balance between ancient and neo-bohemia. What you see is what you get. No more. No less. Take it or leave it.

Tulum, Mexico is quite beautiful and there is plenty to do between Tulum and Cancun since both are very touristy locations. What the city lacks in infrastructure, it makes up for in beauty and excitement. If you know how to avoid some of the not-so-great things, then you could absolutely have an enjoyable vacation here.
