“ Great food. Salsa Mexicana was the best i have ever had. We were visiting from California and ate here twice. ”
“ The only reason they don't have perfect stars is because it's right on the highway and they play elevator music. But other than that this is cheap, good, beautiful and not pretentious like everything else in tulum. It's a perfect mexican roadside diner. Deep fried shrimp tacos were delicious. Ask for the hot sauce, you won't be disappointed! ”
“ This is a great little restaurant on the roadside near the ruins. The best tacos I’ve eaten in Mexico- great service, lovely garden area at the back lots of drinks available. Highly recommend. ”
“ Loved, loved, LOVED this place! The staff is so friendly, and kind. I had the steak, my bf had the chicken and we also got the guacamole and shrimp ceviche. It was 10/10. From flavor, to amount, to everything in between. If you’re in Tulum and you’re looking for a good and affordable place to eat, this is it! In the middle of a main road but so worth it! ”
“ If you want to feel at home come to El Rincon de la Tia ! I felt like I was at my tias casa. All the food is made fresh to order so there is a little bit of a wait but it’s worth it! We had guacamole, empanadas and the asada de res tacos. The tortillas are hecha a mano . The carne es bastante bueno. The service is great too. A very relaxed atmosphere. We came for lunch and it was perfect. We almost missed it because there is another restaurant right next door, so make sure you ask if you are at La Tia’s. Everything is fresh, don’t miss out ! ”
“ It was awesome guys. Delightful flavor on tortillas and good drinks. Notice that juices here are not actually juices, flavored waters would be the name. Even though they're awesome and tasty.!! Take your time to make a stop here. ”
