4.4 / 5.0(1,247 reviews)

Absolutely amazing food and service! The waiters were attentive and even recognized my wifes birthday! All that said it is an outdoor venue wear some bug spray as the mosquitos were out in force.. this was the only reason for the 4 out of 5 on the atmosphere. We will be back. We regret choosing this restaurant over Arca to celebrate our 4 year anniversary despite mentioning it in the reservation. We arrived right at opening as the first guests out of two and were initially shown to a table at the very front. When we asked for a different seat the host did oblige even though her response came with an eye-roll. The restaurant didn't have anymore guests until 1.5 hours later. We were disappointed that there was no recognition of the occasion and a small gesture such as a candle on the dessert or a congratulations would've made the evening feel a little more special. Our server Gustavo was nice and didn't pressure us to order steaks as we only wanted seafood, he was attentive throughout dinner and offered to remake a drink at no charge when a fly flew into it before my second sip. We especially enjoyed the TONA cocktail (it's so good it should be renamed Casa Banana) there's whipped coconut foam with a banana liqueur had a nostalgic flavor that reminded us of Runts banana candy from childhood. Overall, the food was delicious and well made plus the atmosphere of wood burning fire was cozy, but the lack of courtesy left us a little underwhelmed. Great food and great environment! We ordered picaña, empanadas. The smash potatoes were the most delicious I have ever had in my entire life. The chimichurri also was super good!

Amazing! This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Tulum. It’s an incredible Argentinian steakhouse with an open barbecue kitchen in the most traditional Argentinian style. The service was great, and the food portions were quite large and cooked perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious! It’s a bit pricey, but when compared to the tourist traps around it, it’s actually quite reasonable. Plus, the portions and quality of the steaks make for a great meal.

Casa Banana is an absolute gem—every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a stylish yet laid-back vibe that makes you want to linger. From the service to the setting, everything about our experience was exceptional.
