El Rincón de la Tía Tulum — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

Beware. On a positive note the margaritas were good but beware of padding the bill. We ordered two margaritas which the menu Cleary lists at $120 Pecos each. A few min later he asks mescal or tequila? I'm no expert on Marg's but have never had this question. I said tequila. But when we paid the bill suddenly the drinks were $220 because we ordered tequila.
