The 24 Best Restaurants in Tulum, Mexico | Eater

"Tulum’s best-kept secret is an industrial mezcaleria with the broadest selection of Mexican spirits in the country, hidden in Aldea Zama, a quiet residential neighborhood. During the pandemic, owner Nazzareno Miele organized a menu that’s a mezcal enthusiast’s dream. Eight different flights are guided by general manager Ricardo Bobadilla and staff, including the Mamazul’s Finest selection, which offers nuanced mezcals from Oaxaca, Michoacán, and Guerrero on the bar’s own label. Snack on a selection of contemporary castacán (pork belly) tacos, pulpo zarandeado (grilled octopus) with guacamole, and queso fundido to line your stomach. If you don’t want to stumble far, book a room at Villa Mamazul Tulum upstairs or the nearby Villa Tzabcan, both luxury accommodations owned by Mamazul." - Bill Esparza
