Best Restaurant in Mexico

C	Christine Wytrwal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The service was excellent! I wish I could shake the chef’s hand because the food was beautifully crafted from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend the coconut ice cream dessert. They provide complimentary bug spray for the mosquitos which was really appreciated. PRO TIP: If you are concerned about the mosquitos, request to sit near the bar under the roofed section. We sat here and we’re mosquito free
L	Leanne Schlosser on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small, quiet place with delicious food and attentive service. I’m surprised it wasn’t busy. The grilled octopus main and chocolate clams were both fresh, and flavorful. Prices were expected for the area (mains at ~$25 usd).
D	David Jiang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice restaurant along this busy strip. Everything was delicious and the service was fantastic. It wasn’t very busy and seems less busy than some of the other more well known spots nearby, though it parallels in quality and is better value. Seems like more of a hidden gem for now, but may not be for long!
D	Dan Zafrir on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a lovely experience at Bal Nak! A quiet little corner to escape the busy tourist strip with flavors that are uncompromising yet bound to please. The focus is on fresh seafood and I’d suggest sticking to eat - the one all-veg starter was underwhelming, but everything else was stellar. The clams and tiradito were excellent starters, and the prawn and octopus the best mains in my opinion (the huge, juicy prawns were eaten too quickly to be photographed!). Don’t skip the coconut ice cream dessert - highly addictive - or the well-designed cocktail menu. The sweet potato dessert is nice, but not for everyone. I will note that even for Tulum prices this place wasn’t cheap, so save it for a special night!
S	Sofia Ibarra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very comfortable place inside a small area of jungle. Tasted the red beats salad, it was delicious and the flavors were really interesting! The shrimp on top of a guajillo chili sauce were amazing but the octopus was incredible!!! Definitely weird but perfect flavors make it a must come back!
L	Leslie Hensley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had dinner here first night of girls trip after a long day of travel - great way to kick off vacation! Super chill ambiance, excellent service, and delicious food. Creative and flavorful without being overworked or too heavy. Great attention to detail with beautiful plating. The most tender octopus I’ve ever had! The shrimp was a highlight, and be sure to check out the fresh local catch specials. Highly recommend for a relaxing meal with all the chill Tulum vibes.
K	Kama K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place deserves more spotlight — ended my night here after having some food earlier that night and even though it was my second dinner as a result I do not regret any kcals I consumed. The service kindly waited for us to finish all the meals without rushing as it was the end of the night for the kitchen and the staff. Wow and wow to the mussels — the presentation and the fantastic combination of flavours. But the octopus left us speechless — perfectly cooked and combines with the sides and sauces. The cherry on the top with the dessert ended our meal with huge smiles on our faces — it was creamy, not too sweet, and juicy. A pure carnival of flavours all around. I guess this is what Mexican modern cuisine should be.
S	Sara A on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful ambiance and service. We ordered the roasted beets and the clams to start, then the young chicken, shrimp and steak for entrees. The clams and young chicken were our favourite - a must try! Food was overall delicious, however the roasted beets salad and shrimp were a total miss. The salad lacked flavour, and I needed extra vinaigrette to add flavour. The beets weren’t roasted either, they were just served cold. The shrimp entree tasted too fishy, and we unfortunately had to send it back. All in all the experience was great nonetheless and our server was phenomenal :)
