Best Tacos in Tulum

Welcome to the Magic of Tulum. Enjoy these 3 local's recommendations of our favorite coffee shop, favorite restaurant, and favorite bar in Tulum to get you started on the adventure.

We also added notes on how to avoid being scammed by the ATMs and how to get the best rates on taxis.

Best Coffee:

Story Horse Cafe: super cool coffee shop, specializing in coffee from all over Mexico. Has a run club that meets on Saturdays.

Favorite Bar:

La Guarida- bar and community center + restaurant (vegan/vegetarian/gf options). Live music almost every night. All kinds of classes (painting, music, theater etc)

Favorite Restaurant:

Negro Huitlachoxe: Make sure you get the corn! (Vegan/Vegetarian/gf options).

Jam music nights on Mondays.

ATM tips:

All banks except BBVA will let you decline the conversion fee. They started charging people a 5-15% markup to change your money. Just hit decline and you'll still get pesos. We like the bank Santander to get money.

Taxi App: The taxis in Tulum are notoriously expensive and we do not have Uber here. There is a new app called Eiby Taxi where you can negotiate a price before hand and the taxi picks you up at the location where you are.
