“A great find, really wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

We were staying on the beach and biked into Tulum one afternoon. Found this spot on a side street off the main street. We had tapas and the very best margaritas in Tulum. The owner and his wife are charming and the restaurant has so much charm and character, funky but so tasteful. We sat outside watching the kids playing and the local dogs snoozing. We returned via cab on our final night and loved the beautifully prepared paella. You will not be disappointed!

“Amazing Paella”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

OMG! What can I say?! A tiny storefront of a place (three tables on the street, four small booths inside), kitchen the size of a walk-in closet and heavenly paella! Order the "paella de mariscos" with clams, mussels and whole shrimp then top it off with a Creme Catalan.

“Great paella !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

This place is off the main drag but well worth it. The owners were very friendly with the recommendations and we had the greatest seafood paella ever !

5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

Adorable food, the Paella was to die for! We stayed at an all inclusive but still ate her every day! I think of it as one of the best reaturants ever!!! The place is also very special as you can sit outside on the street, and the staff is sno friendly!! Lovely in every way!! Thanks for that!!

“Great food and plenty of vegie options”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

We went 3 times on our trip. Lots of choice, whether you just want to snack on the tapas dishes or tuck into a hearty paella. It's a great option for any time of day. Our waitress (who we totally loved) also recommended a chocolate dessert to us, for which we were very grateful, as it was delicious.
