Los Morros Aldea Zama — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

Our first time to Tulum, and this gem was recommended to us by a private chef we had hired to make dinner the night prior (which btw is a great experience and delicious as well). We were so thankful for this recommendation to try Los Morros because it was by far the best restaurant we’ve dined in so far and it was so very fresh and delicious. We had the oysters and fried pork belly in guacamole and were blown away in a good way :). The oysters were plump and meaty with a savory sauce ( not cocktail) and the pork belly was flavorful and crunchy- perfect for dunking in the fresh guacamole. I had a Michelada and it was the best one - not too sweet or cinnamony… had a great blend of clamato and tamarind (spelling?). On to the main course … it gets better folks… had the soy ceviche and it was well seasoned and huge!!!! I had to bring a lot of it home, because I also ordered the entree that has 6 tuna sashimi wrapped around a chicken, Mayo mixture with sliced avocado swimming in a shallow black soy-citrus mixture? which after finishing off the sashimi wraps I literally wanted to drink. My family also tried these and were equally impressed. My son got the Mummy shrimp which were 3inch sized cooked shrimp filled with cream cheese wrapped in bacon and fried with a drizzle of chipotle sauce. He let me try and these were also dreamy. My other son got the coconut shrimp and devoured it. My daughter got the same sashimi entree I raves about before and couldn’t get over the great quality of the tuna- like butter. My husband asked Roberto ( the owner and our server) what his favorite was and got that. I can’t remember the name but it was a plate of tuna sashimi, shrimp, cucumber mixture in m the black magic sauce - he raved about it as well. We left feeling full, happy and considering coming back the next night….lol. Thank you Roberto for a delicious and delightful...

I have to say, great food & ambience, and a well-seasoned menu with generous portions at great prices for Tulum. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

However, the service left much to be desired. Upon paying in cash, the waiter automatically added a suggested 15% tip without consulting me, returning change based on this added amount. This practice doesn't align with the norm in Mexico, where tipping is discretionary. The appropriate thing would have been to return change based on the final bill, allowing me to decide if I wish to tip/ on the tip amount afterward.

Despite the bare-minimum "service" (that would not merit a tip as it is), there was no acknowledgment or apology from the staff when I informed them that I take issue in this other than an apathetic "we can return the difference back". The money was not even an issue as it was more about conduct.

Such a lack of consideration for customer preferences reflects a poor customer service culture within the staff. Its disappointing & its unlikely I'll...

I absolutely loved every bite!!!! IF IN TALUM YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!!

The Octopus and Tuna Chicharones was ocean magic inspired. The water God Kukulcan must have carried these ingredients onto shore and plated it himself. The tuna was so flavorful and crispy. The Octopus was soft and crusted with a light batter. All together, this dish was homage to sea and all that comes from within.

The Mixtolonga was a sensational combination of ceviche and cooked seafood. The fresh ingredients, along with the spices, were crafted with skills that came together like a culinary storm. Every bite was like a lightening strike of extreme flavor.

The Marlin Rolls were smokey and crispy bites from the sea. The plating was fun and vibrant. All added to a sensory delight.

The Jainita was a flavorful mix of shrimp, crab and other seafood. Served with a savory special Chiltepin sauce.

Had a few more dishes, but i am running out of space. I can go on about the other dishes, but I want you to try it and write your own...
