Honeymoon in Tulum: Part Dos

We were on a mission in Mexico.

A mission to find good Mexican food.

We failed.

Luckily for us, we live in an area of California that has some of the best Mexican food around. We really do not need to travel far for delicious Mexican cuisine. Seriously, even our Taco Bell is better than other states. That is a fact.


However, we did find delicious Italian, Thai and Argentinian food. Weird, I know.

We found that this part of Mexico really caters to Europeans and other such cultures. Many come to Tulum to open their own restaurant. It is a very unique area of Mexico, unlike anything we had yet to experience.

We decided to let our stomachs and Trip Advisor decide where we should eat. The number one restaurant listed is an Italian spot called Posada Margherita. The menu is small, but the flavor is huge. This was some of the best pasta we had ever tasted.

Next up was was a beautiful little Thai restaurant called Mezzanine. Here at home we have a few Thai restaurants, and it is some of our favorite type of food to eat. Mrs. Lemon had recommended this place to me when I had met her and Mrs. Hawk for dinner a few months ago. I am so glad we decided to stop in and have lunch here because not only was the food delicious, but the view was to die for. The food was among some of the most beautifully displayed that we had all trip. Too bad it was beyond delicious and we both ate ours too fast to snap a photo. We both highly recommend the drunken noodles. As Rachael Ray would say...YUMMO!

One of the most anticipated meals of the week was our reservation at a fancy little restaurant called Hechizo. They were originally closed for the season but decided to open it one time while we were there. They pride themselves on being an upscale and unique restaurant of Tulum. It is at the very end of the strip in Tulum, and is quite hard to find. You definitely have to know where you are going to find the place. It is hidden in the jungle and the path is lit up by candle lit conch shells. Once you make it to the restaurant, you will find it sitting ocean front. It is absolutely breathtaking. 

I have to say, my food was excellent. Mr. Buck's was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't spectacular. I would recommend starting dinner with the truffle fettuccine appetizer and having the cod for dinner. The meal concludes with a warm flourless chocolate dessert. This was by far the best dessert we had the entire trip. 

There really is not much a menu, the chef comes out and tells you what he is making for dinner. It is all a very interesting and different type of dining experience. If you have the opportunity, I would definitely try this place. Just try the cod over the snapper ;)

I was also fairly convinced that Johnn Depp, Anna Kournikova and Shaun White were there. Mr. Buck shoots that one down pretty quickly, but I say it was them. Or atleast I am going to pretend it was them. 

Our last restaurant we ate at for dinner was a place we stopped at on a whim. Unfortunately I don't have any photos because I really had not planned on eating here. Let me tell you though, this was not only some of the best food we had in Tulum...it is some of the best food we have ever had. Hands down.

It is a little Argentinian place on the strip called Casa Banana. The decor inside is straight up gorgeous yet eclectic. The wait staff is beyond excellent, which is huge in my book. At one point our waiter saw there was a mosquito in my wine. He dumped it out and poured me a new glass. I was so thankful, I had not even seen it. He then brought us out a free appetizer because of that. We couldn't believe it, that was by no means their fault...yet they wanted our experience there to be extra special. 

You really cannot go wrong with what you order at Casa Banana. They specialize in steak, and they have definitely excelled at this. Up until eating at Casa Banana, if you had asked Mr. Buck and I what the best steak we have ever had was, we instantly would tell you it was at Chops Steakhouse in Napa Valley. Now it is a toss up between the two. Best.steak.ever. 

As you can see, Tulum offers quite the unique dining options. Not much Mexican food, but a whole lot of other incredible international options.

Up next in Honeymoon in Tulum: Part Tres, we head to the Mayan ruins. We were on a mission in Mexico.
