We had a variety of sharing type options at Sabor De Mar. Most of the menu is raw/ceviche style though a couple of fried taco options as some cooked mains. We enjoyed what we had along with the super friendly service. Particularly liked the shrimp tacos and tuna tostada.

This is a simple place (next to Los Lirios, in a small quad with a couple of other shops). Great tacos, free mezcal to start and very friendly service. Thank you very much for your comment, we hope to have you back soon in La Malinche ; )

We visited during our honeymoon and were blown away by the entire experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful and in a great location surrounded by other restaurants, bars and shops. From the minute you walk in, the customer service is absolutely stellar. You are not without a drink or wanting anything as the staff is so attentive and knowledgeable. While they do try to upsell and encourage the more expensive speciality menu, should you prefer to order from the regular menu like we did - you are not treated any differently.Everything is done with flair - even the table bread is special and unique. We ordered cocktails and several appetizers - each more delicious than the next. We are big foodies and pride ourselves in finding the best spots. Rosa Negra is now one of our top picks. If you are in Tulum - do not hesitate, do yourself a favour and eat here. Hello Janine, thank you very much for taking the time to write us, we are very pleased to know that you were able to share such a pleasant moment with us. We hope to see you again, we will gladly welcome you to our restaurant, your home.

We were absolutely delighted by this experience. It was such a unique concept as we had never come across such a tour. Itâs kinda like a tour and a dinner combined. Our guide Riaz was the life of the party and gave such interesting information and insight. Really recommendable doing this.

Restaurant with contemporary mexican cuisine with an atmosphere of integration and respect to the jungle.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary dinner here based on the high TripAdvisor ranking...and it did not disappoint. Coming during the low season, we didn't have to worry about a reservation, and were warmly welcomed in. The tuna appetizer was amazing, and the cocktails (though pricey) were fresh and delicious. While I got the whitefish - which was very good - my wife got the spare rib, which was incredible. Just a great dining experience.Thank you for your comments, we are glad you enjoyed your experience at BAL NAK'.
