La norteña — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

I was so excited to try this place and feel Horrible leaving this review but also want to provide a fair and assessment for other people.

Parking - random dirt patch in front I guess worked…

It’s a very rustic and run down place. We were greeted by the two dogs roaming freely around the property. The dog then proceeded to go to the chair of one of the table and pee ON the base of it. Unsanitary. (And we love dogs)

They had a trampoline for kids which seem pretty great! I was pumped. But it was so gross with leaves that my girls didn’t want to jump on it.

I will forgive all this once the incredible plate of food arrives based on the reviews.

Sadly that was impossible since they didn’t have 80% of the menu available. We ordered several things are did not like the food at all. Orange juice was not fresh squeezed and it was pumped with a bunch of sugar (even though the waitress said it was fresh...

I hesitate to rate this place because I don’t want it to blow up :) But alas the good people of this world deserve to know. The wood-fired abuela greets you as you walk in. Barbacoa is their specialty but now they’ve added scrambled egg breakfast on friday and Monday. It is now open 4 days a week.

Sunday is their busy day as barbacoa is a staple dish on weekends in Mexico.

I would also highly recommend their cafe de olla and pan de queso...

Such an amazing experience that combined in a perfect way the flavors of Mexico on a Masterpiece taco! Definitely my favorite taco place from Tulum. I highly recommend that if you’re in the area you go to the place and give a chance and even if you’re not in the area drive to the place to try this...
