Tacos y Tortas El Tío

The 24 Best Restaurants in Tulum, Mexico | Eater

"There are plenty of vendors selling marquesitas (sweet and savory rolled crepes) and elotes around Avenida Satélite and Calle Géminis Norte in downtown Tulum where tourists gather at night. There are fewer taco stands in the area, but El Tio has been a long-time favorite for tacos al pastor and tortas of bright-orange, tender marinated pork dressed with chopped onions, cilantro, pineapple, and salsa. Bring a friend and split one of the fried-hash combos cooked on a flattop served with corn tortillas for making your own tacos; options include a matambre (poc chuc, al pastor, chorizo, ham, bacon, onion, tomato, chile poblano), alambre (pork chop, bacon, onions, chile poblano, cheese), or fortachon (pork chop, al pastor, chorizo, onion)." - Bill Esparza
