Where to eat in Tulum

Tulum is one of the most magical places in the world, with its spectacular beaches, historical ruins, and bohemian lifestyle. The food scene is strong; a mixture of local hole-in-the wall taquerias, healthy hippie-chic cafes, and fine dining restaurants with live music for you to dance to all night long.

Here is the list of Tulum's best restaurants (the ones marked * are a my absolute favorites).
