Where to Get the Best Street Food in Tulum

Never far from the top of any local’s recommendation list, Taquería Honorio offers the best breakfast tacos in the region. The traditional cochinita pibil – slow-roasted pork marinated in ground achiote seeds and orange juice – is the stuff of legend in Tulum. The thick, rustic masa tacos combine perfectly with the flavorsome meat and there are a broad range of spicy sauces to choose from. The stand opens at six in the morning and closes when the food runs out, so make sure to get an early taco start.

This street joint is always full, a sure sign that the tacos on offer are truly delicious. The menu offers beef, chicken or al pastor (spit-grilled meat) tacos. The last of these is the undoubted standout – the juicy, flavorsome meat roasts gently for hours. Antojitos la Chiapaneca also offers plentiful spicy red sauce and guacamole. As busy as the place is, the service is always incredibly quick and the restaurant stays open until 1am every day of the week except Monday.

Escape from the heat and humidity of daytime Tulum at this legendary ice cream shop on Tulum’s beachfront strip. Origami offers a broad variety of flavors, including coconut, pistachio, passion fruit, chocolate, vanilla with biscuit and raspberry. The ice cream portions are both generous and delicious. Excellent hot and iced Italian coffee is also served here and the venue offers comfy outdoor seating.
