Why Travelers Love La Coqueta
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This was our first spot in Tulum. We didn’t plan or search — we had just checked into our place and went out looking for somewhere to sit and eat. And it turned out to be a great choice. We had our first tacos here and some cold beer. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. The food was tasty, and the atmosphere was great. Rumors around Tulum say this is the single best restaurant and you have to visit if you visit Tulum. And it’s true. The food, service en vibe are incredible. I would be able to eat here everyday. One downside; after eating here you won’t find many restaurants this good Arrived at 8:45pm... Closing at 10.. kitchen closes in 15min! Ok... Still ordered, food was good 👍 service not and drinks not at all, capirinha was water! 9:30, removed our plates, 9:35 cleaning the tables with our drinks still on it, 9:40 bill!? Of course we didn't tip! 2* thanks to the food...

Stopped by on our way to the airport today. The nachos de camarones hit the spot! Our server was attentive and helpful.
