Mateos Mexican Grill

Popped in for food while exploring Tulum! My pizza was absolutely lovely. The homeless dog got some, too, and he loved it too! Fun place, awesome bar, lots of drinks 🍸! Can't wait to come back one day!

Great spot! They have the best fish tacos and amazing margaritas. Sitting at the bar is fun and cool layout. The owner Mateo himself is there sometimes and he is a delight! Highly recommend this establishment

Went to the free cooking class on Tuesday and what an incredible experience. Miguel and Santiago prepared pico, guacamole and chicken fajitas; food was so fresh & their service was second to none. Couldn’t recommend mateos more - must check out in Tulum based on service alone.

We stumbled on this awesome place for lunch and had chicken and shrimp fajitas and mango margaritas and beers, we had such a great time and incredible meal, loved it so much we went back that night again for dinner and had beef and fish tacos, highly recommend, great atmosphere awesome food fantastic staff!

I admit we were a bit disappointed when we didn’t see our favorite, the Baja fish tacos, on the menu this time. So we went with the grilled fish tacos and the shrimp tacos. We were not disappointed one bit! So scrumptious and fresh.We love all the sauces in different combinations. Chips and salsa were… yum! We have been coming to Mateos for many years and we will keep coming back. Great food, great location, great service. We were told the tacos pescado frito will be on the menu again soon. Great to hear. We will be back next time!

Amazing food and drinks served here. I really enjoyed this place in tulum. Great value for your money and good portion sizes.

Love the vibes at Mateos. Great sports bar with good food and drinks. I love to go watch the ufc fights there. It is also one of the few in town, if not the only spot in town, that covers the majority of sports events. I also like that he has a ping pong table, dart board, fooseball, and even a basketball court. Always a good time a Mateos, always good music and bands and an amazing sunset deck. Grewt place to visit and catch a vibe

Really cute vibes, great location, amazing “sunset view”, kind and helpful staff, even drink specials! Unfortunately however, the food is medicocre to terrible, and the sunset deck is drinks/apps only. We came here three times during our 2 weeks here. Each time the staff was wonderful, the food was incredibly meh, and (while super sweet and welcoming) the service wasn’t incredibly speedy. On the roof, we personally witnessed at least 10 groups - ranging from 1 person to 6- left as soon as they found out a full menu wasn’t offered. It’s a menu limited to 5 apps only and drinks (that cost more than when you’re downstairs). Another missed oppritunity is that the food even downstairs is really meh. Collectively we ate a steak burrito, a chicken fajita plate, and an order of fish tacos. The three “salsas” that come in refillable plastic ketchup bottles are the least authentic we’ve personally tasted. And the white sauce is just herbed mayo (despite being called the “sour cream based sauce”. The food collectively has a flavor of burnt/overused cooking oil. The seasonings were not impressive. It’s also not cheap! Just a burrito and one margarita runs about $30. A swing and a miss from Mexico for sure. Everyone we met was welcoming, friendly and helpful, if moving at a glacial/island vibes pace. This place has the potential for so much more…. A missed opportunity for the management staff!
