"A great, cozy restaurant with great staff and delicious food with big portions! A stop for local families and food tours, evidence of its quality and authenticity! We had their amazing fresh juices (watermelon and cantaloupe) and their chilaquiles, all for breakfast! One of our best meals in Tulum, and for a great price!"

"Great service and great value. We enjoyed the lechón tacos with the sauces provided on the table. The spicy dark sauce wasn't too spicy. Well-seasoned meats and fillings!"

"Beat restaurant in town!! If you want to experience the real Mexican food you must visit this restaurant. I tried the “Kekas” so taste. ONLY CASH"

"This is hands down the best food we’ve had in Tulum! The meat is absolutely incredible and the tacos are on another level. It’s a true local gem. no tourists, just locals, which makes the whole experience feel authentic and real. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming, you immediately feel at home. We already came here for the second time during our stay because we loved it so much the first time. We really believe in supporting local restaurants instead of touristy places – and this spot is exactly why. Amazing food, amazing people, amazing vibe. We will definitely be back! :)"

"The pechuga a la plancha was so good that we actually went back a second time. The tacos are phenomenal as well. This is authentic Mexican food at its best — lots of locals, great atmosphere, and pleasantly away from the touristy areas. Absolutely worth a visit!"

"Best restaurant in town! Been to many places and this ones is really authentic with traditional Mexican meals. Meat is super well cooked, guacamole is delicious. Everything homemade. On top of that they’re super friendly."

"Taquería Maya is a standout spot in Tulum for authentic, no-frills Mexican food that delivers exceptional value. The flavors are bold, traditional, and deeply satisfying, with each taco showcasing careful preparation and well-seasoned meats. The chicharrón is rich and crispy, the cochinita is tender and deeply spiced, the pork belly is indulgent with just the right balance of fat and char, and the chicken taco is juicy and flavorful. Portions are generous, prices are refreshingly affordable, and the focus is clearly on quality rather than presentation—making it an easy favorite for anyone looking to experience truly authentic local cooking."
