Tulum has become a hot spot over the last year, due to Mexico staying open for tourism while others remained closed. However, if feel that a vacation is not complete without great food, you have come to the right place.
Tulum is filled with both small authentic restaurants, and fine dining. Here are the top restaurants in the area and what we recommend you order.
