Nestled amidst the vibrant streets of Tulum, Cafe Carlito stands out as a culinary gem, offering an unforgettable dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds and warms the soul. Recently indulging in their Croque Monsieur, I was swept away by its exquisite flavors and charming ambiance.
From the moment you step foot into Cafe Carlito, you're greeted with a welcoming atmosphere that effortlessly combines rustic charm with modern elegance. The cozy interior, adorned with vibrant artwork and lush greenery, provides the perfect backdrop for an intimate dining experience.
As I settled into my seat, anticipation mounted as I awaited the arrival of my Croque Monsieur. When it finally arrived, I was greeted with a sight that was as visually appealing as it was appetizing. The sandwich, perfectly toasted to golden perfection, exuded an irresistible aroma that teased the senses.
Upon the first bite, it was evident that Cafe Carlito takes pride in using only the finest ingredients. The crusty bread enveloped a generous filling of premium ham and gooey cheese, harmoniously complemented by a creamy béchamel sauce. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with the richness of the cheese balanced by the savory notes of the ham and the subtle hint of herbs.
Accompanying my meal was a refreshing beverage selection that perfectly complemented the culinary journey. From freshly brewed coffee to artisanal teas and handcrafted cocktails, Cafe Carlito offers something for every palate.
But beyond the exquisite cuisine, what truly sets Cafe Carlito apart is its unparalleled hospitality. The attentive staff, led by the passionate owners, go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels like a cherished member of the family.

Read moreIt’s our last meal in tulum and we decided to come here. The place was empty but we still gave it a chance. The server was so friendly until the end of our meal. Our food was good despite being attacked by a million flies while eating. The restaurant needs some fans to keep these flies out of the way. When we got our bill there was a 20% tip included into the bill which was not cool. I definitely understand the tipping situation but if you’re going to include it into the bill, definitely state that on your menu and online. I asked the server about the actual total and so we paid.

So much engery in greeting us so we could support yall but yall didn’t give us that energy back when we were leaving. If you want a successful business and genuinely care, don’t rip off your only...

We paid around 325MX for what you see in the picture & only one drink. In general, overhyped and not really worth the money in my opinion. Likely appeals more to young internationals seeking an escape from...
