Safari is a simple outdoors restaurant for tacos. They specialize in fish tacos, and that is indeed what you should order. Safari is located 8 kilometers down the road called Tulum-Boca Paila, on the jungle side opposite of Hotel Cabaña Los Lirios Tulum. The place is easily recognizable by the vintage 1971 silver Airstream travel trailer parked in the yard, which functions as a kitchen.

One of our favourite spots - few minutes walking from Casa Yaxiik. You cant leave Tulum before you have tried the shrimp tacos and the "mixed ceviche". Personal favourite is "El Capitán" with caramelized onions and lots of habanero chili. Hot, hot, hot! Wash it down with local beers.

Just across the road from Antojitos La Chiapaneca you find El Carboncito. Here, you can get tacos al pastor as well, but what you really want is the chorizo tacos. The meat is served with 5-6 tortillas. Condiments are on the table. You can skip the aguas frecas, they are not as chilled and tasty as on the other side of the street.

Not in the mood to leave the beach during the day? No worries, do like Taquería La Eufemia suggest: "Relax and eat some f*cking tacos." Their beach bar allows you to remain on your towel all day, licking sun, sipping to a Tecate or Pacifico, and munching fish tacos. Remember to specify that you want them tempura-fried.

Dont miss out at Friday night at Casa Jaguar. Delicious tacos and ceviche. After dinner make your way through the bamboo terraces to the outdoor garden and club at the back of the establishment. The in-house DJ’s play banging electro and house tracks. Dance the night away in the beautiful open air club. It’s quite a small venue, which makes for great intimate gatherings.

Drinks & Nightlife

Our favourite beach club. Papaya Playa Project is a hippie hotel dedicated to making every element of their operations sustainable. A series of jungle huts with different standards of quality, from simpler to more exclusive, are beautifully located by the beach. Pass by one day to the beach club. Great food and drinks and a cool vibe.

Famed for it’s eclectic decor and quirky mojito machine; housed in a converted VW beetle; Batey is a super trendy, artist bar and restaurant in the centre of downtown Tulum. Not on the beach itself, Batey lives in a cool little enclave of restaurants and bars, hidden off the pretty main strip. Adorned with colourful flags, chic black and white photography and an artist in residence, (pictured with me and Liv above) creating live paintings in the back yard. The music can be anything from jazz, electro to live mariachi bands. I loved this place for it’s art house, Mexican atmosphere and the magnificent mojitos!

Sightseeing

If you are to see on pyramid during your stay at Casa Yaxiik, the Coba Pyramids is a good option. Easy access from Tulum, just about 45 min drive. The Maya ruins at Cobá are unique in that only a few of its estimated 6,500 structures have been uncovered, but the ones that have been are graceful and impressive. On these quiet and peaceful grounds it´s hard to imagine that Cobá may have once had the largest population of all the ancient Mayan cities. This vast Mayan archeological site dates from 600-900 A.D. and there were an estimated 100,000 people living in its domain. It was the heart of a large metropolis composed of many cities within the eastern Yucatan.
