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!"

Apr 14, 2026"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! :)"

Mar 09, 2026"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."
