Mi Amor Restaurant — Restaurant in Tulum

We had the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience at Mi Amor this week! We will return very soon for sure. The setting, the service and the food and drink were completely amazing. AND all of this doesn’t break the bank! The entrance is very warm and friendly, as it’s always been. Our server/host was Ric (Ricardo) and he was attentive, friendly and efficient. He thoughtfully and with personal passion explained the menu items and drinks we chose, including in depth knowledge of mezcal. And the food is a star ⭐️ here. The guacamole 🥑 features a tomatillo vinaigrette, which delivers it as the best guacamole in Tulum. A very generous portion with heirloom corn tostadas is only 250 MXN…with the amazing view. For something new to us we chose the red dzikilpak, a creamy, sensuous mix of charred heirloom tomatoes, roasted pepper guajillo oil, topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds, only 240 MXN for a large serving. We chose 3 of the 4 tostada offerings and my favorite was the cold smoked and cured sea bass. Grilled local octopus and grilled steak were also excellent choices. We also sampled the most moist and creamy brioche French toast for 240 MXN and the best steak tartare I’ve had since NYC with Dijon aioli, percorino Romano cheese, crunchy capers and tiny croutons....

We made dinner reservations here and walked from the hotel we were staying at. The hotel and restaurant are quite lovely and beautiful. The tables placed over the water looked really fun but it was raining hard this night and we dressed finely so we found it perfect to sit in the indoor dining area. The table was set wonderfully well and our server, Teo, took excellent care of us from then on. We shared a bottle of Rose and still water. He had a very large classic Caesar salad and I had the Roasted Cornish Hen. It was very delicious. Sadly, we had a huge lunch so we honestly couldn't manage to eat anything else. By fate, the next day we went biking and it started to downpour heavily and we were close by and stopped in to get out from the rain for a drink. Teo remembered us from the night before and we enjoyed some strawberry margaritas with him for one last experience. Lastly, I have to give a shout out to the concierge at the front desk. I had gone up to ask a couple questions and both times she stood up to give me full attention and I found it to be incredibly respectful and professional. I haven't seen that anywhere else lately. Very impressive. Highly...

We ordered room service and the food was finger licking good! Such different flavors and their combination was so new to me! I loved even the fries that came with the sandwich. It looked like the portion size is small, but trust me you will be more than full after eating each of the below dishes. We ordered Korean style fried chicken sandwich , which came as a burger with fries. And we also ordered tostada with coconut flakes. The whole combination of fresh coconut flakes with ginger sauce and cashew nuts and chaya and thinly sliced peppers on top of tostadas was so fresh and bursting with flavor! Definitely recommended!

Edit: We have been ordering almost all our meals as room service from here. Special shoutout to the chefs here! Loved all our meals. You should not expect local taste but it’s a take on local cuisine with a gourmet touch. Other dishes I tried here were cucumber noodles, it was okay. Kale and burrata was okay. Chiliqueles with egg was very flavorful...
