La Esquina Tulum — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

I stopped at this place after biking about 5 miles on a beach bike in the heat. There were only 2 customers in the place.

I took a seat, recovering myself for a few minutes and responding to some text messages. Literally every 60 seconds the fat little guy behind the bar would pester me for my order as if he couldn’t see I was otherwise occupied.

The staff was super friendly and I loved the decorations, it was super cozy. But the food however, we ordered 1 ceviche, my boyfriend had a steak and I misunderstood the menu and ordered coconut shrimp, instead of tacos.

The prices was riddicilously high, we paid around 2400 pesos for our meal. The ceviche tasted awful, the fish was frozen (!) and pieces of fish was stucked to each other. The coconut shrimp and the steak however, tasted Ok.
