Cetli is an excellent restaurant located just off the beaten path in Tulum. With a charming atmosphere and attention to detail, it's the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. The complimentary appetizer plate is a great way to get a taste of the local flavors, from cheese empanadas to grasshoppers. The house specialty, Chile en Nogada, is a must-try with its poblano pepper filled with minced beef and dried fruit, covered in a creamy walnut sauce and topped with pomegranate seeds. Other delicious dishes include the Metztli, a pachiuki filled with black mushrooms and covered in a red peanut mole, and the chicken enchiladas with green almond mole. The dessert selection is also outstanding, with a bread pudding served with cream sauce and strawberry granita. The staff are friendly and accommodating, making sure you have a wonderful experience. Prices are on the higher side, but worth it for the quality of the food. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience, Cetli is the place to go.

Divine dining experience! This was the best restaurant we experienced in all of Quintana Roo and Yucatán. In fact, it was one of my favorite dining experiences ever! We enjoyed the Pachiuki, Metztli, and the Cetli house special for dessert! The complimentary appetizer tray and complimentary dessert were filed with incredible flavors and textures for the pallet! The chef and waiter were such lovely humans! You simply cannot miss out on Cetli! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: MX$600–700 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
This restaurant is definitely off the beaten path. It felt very traditional, my husband and I really enjoyed it. We definitely consider it to be one of the best culinary experiences we’ve had not only in Mexico but in the world. We opted not to go to the overpriced beach restaurants (except Ilios) and very happy we chose this! Definitely include it on your Tulum itinerary.

I thought I was going to have one of the best dinner experiences of my life but unfortunately decoration excels the food. Traditionally Mexican cuisine but most of the dishes are frozen and micro-waved thus flavour is almost none.
