El Arbolito — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

We hired a tour guide, who, as we were driving past said, "this place has great tacos." I slammed on the brakes, and parked the car. We had just eaten ice cream, and one of my daughter said, "I'm not hungry." When we went in, she took one look and said, "I'll take three, I'm so hungry." This place has that kind of magic. So many options, so many salsas, and handmade tortillas. No taco can rate 5 stars on a store bought tortilla--I don't care if you make your tacos with dry aged wagyu ribeye and white truffles.

This is a place for locals, so your getting more of the Mexican food experience enjoyed by...

They had a number of pots with sauces, fixings and other things you could add to you food. I tried 3 if the sauces, the green which was the hottest then on down. They also make fresh juices as well, so I got a pineapple juice, which was just the right thing to help wash down the heat from the green sauce. If you can find it I diffently recommend this place. Good, fast traditional...
