“ Went here for dinner and had octopus, tuna sashimi, and oyster Rockefeller. Everything was 10/10. The portion sizes of each dish was worth the price. Sashimi covered the whole bottom of the dish; 9 pieces of oysters and a full octopus with plantain balls. Service was amazing, Anna and Manuel, took care of us. Thomas, the owner, came and talked to us about all the dishes, the experience was amazing. If you’re in tulum this is the place the come check out. ”
