Mestixa Tulum

Mestixa Restaurant is another prime example of the region’s proclivity for turning local ingredients and timeworn dishes into stunning novelties—in this case a clever mashup of Latin American and Asian cookery. Mestixa is a dark, funky, and artsy restaurant, bedecked in dragon murals and dainty umbrellas, serving a street food-inspired array of flavors: jumbo shrimp tempura tacos in lettuce wraps with furikake, pickled ginger, and ponzu sauce; oyster mushrooms al pastor with cured egg yolk, grilled scallion oil, and brown butter ponzu; and Thai coconut raspado with miso flan, cacao brownie, and lemongrass.

This restaurant in the city center specializes in Asian/Mexican fusion. The menu is constantly changing, but you can expect to find tasty pork belly bao buns, plus sumptuous dishes like shrimp dumplings topped with tamarind sauce and a grasshopper garnish. Reservations are recommended.

I know, who wants to go to Tulum only to eat at a restaurant that is a fusion of Asian and Mexican food?. Hear me out, please go. This was the first dinner we had when we arrived and it set the bar for the remainder of the trip.

The birria ramen is the most amazing thing i’ve ever eaten, recommend so much. Birria tacos are my fave thing ever and the ramen is just so amazing. The menu is quite small yet the dishes are so fab.
