Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Service was okay - nothing spectacular and had to get waiter's attention multiple times. Food was good, pizza was tasty and wife's shrimp was good. 2 people with 4 beers, 1 appetizer and 2 dishes, USD $44. A little annoying with the street performers and...trinket sellers coming to your table every 4 mins.More

There were so many flies I couldn't happily eat my food. They water down their liquor so please stay away from that. I actually told them it was no alcohol and they just added more water (fyi I do not drink). Food was just ok....After fighting with sub par food, a handful of flies and just a thousand vendors approaching me while I tried to relax. I went to pay. What Upset me was when I went to pay I normally tip in cash the waiter swiped my card. Turned the screen to me and said "you need to tip 15%" I asked him to repeat himself so to correct himself but he repeated it. I didn't like that. I told him I tip in cash but he got an attitude and stormed off. Then when I asked one of them to get my waiter so I can him his tip he several times turned his back on me with an attitude. I will never return and Honestly if you like flavor don't come here. WATERED DOWN DRINKS, RUDE STAFF AND FLIES. If you want to be treated poorly you'RE at the right place. never again https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g150813-d3599900-r810642525-La_Malquerida-Tulum_Yucatan_Peninsula.html#More

Charge for extra money and didn't want to refund us. The food was decent but horrible service. I do not recommend coming here.

Love this place. The service is always great and the food and drinks are perfect. Not to pricey. The atmosphere is terrific, sitting outside and enjoying the energy of the street and people.

There are so many amazing places to eat in Tulum--this one was a disappointment in comparison. I ordered a paloma and got a pre-mixed margarita. The shrimp was bland. In a town with such rich food offerings, I wouldn't recommend this place, although the people...watching on the street is entertaining.More

Our meal was slight step above our resort food. Pretty bland & unexciting. Great location. Probably just an off night looking at the other reviews.

This restaurant is on the corner of the main road through Tulum Pueblo ... the outdoor seating on the side street is really nice (fairly quiet, good people watching). The food was pretty good and the drinks were cheap (like $80 pesos for 2 margaritas!)....Friendly service. Nice place to hang out for a couple of hours and just chill.More

We came into town to escape the cabin fever of our all inclusive hotel. We picked this restaurant as the menu was in Spanish so we thought we’d get an authentic Mexican experience. We weren’t disappointed, great food and excellent service. The guacamole was the...best I’ve ever tasted, the beef tacos were really tender and my husband really enjoyed the fajitas. It was very reasonably priced too, just £12.50 per head for 2 courses and 3 rounds of drinks. I would definitely recommend this place.More

We wanted pizza so we stopped here for dinner and sat outside. Great atmosphere (as with most places in Tulum), service, and food. The pizza crust was thin and crispy but not too thin. The prices are cheap. You are never rushed to finish your...meal in Tulum. They don't bring the check until you ask for it. Four of us ate 2 large pizzas, 6 beers, and a mix drink and the bill was 680 pesos ($36 US.)More

Overcharge tourists. Do not visit here. Ridiculously overcharged because they knew I was a tourist. Shady bar men. Would not recommend.

I came to Tulum for a week with a friend and we ate here several times. It's our favorite restaurant in Tulum and we kept coming back. Their happy hour promotion was 2 for 1 beer! The fish tacos were my favorite! It's located in...a busy part of downtown Tulum. It's a really lively and entertaining area to enjoy your dinner at. Service, food, and location are amazing!More

Although the food was good, we tried the ceviche with octopus and shrimp, I also had the chicken tacos and my boyfriend had the mixed fajitas. The downside were the flies. They should really try to do something about it. Sitting is open although there...is a roof and no way to keep them away.More

Food was decent, legit simple Mexican food, not with all the frills for sure. Place was super busy on a Tuesday night. Got fish tacos and shrimp cooked in garlic and butter. Fish was not fired, just little pieces of fish meat. Shrimp were cooked...with entire shell on which took some time to peel individually. Overall taste was about average. Service was pretty good despite the full house.More

Good vegetarian options, but not it's not particularly tasty, and it's on the more expensive side. We had veggie enchilada, veggie pizza and ceviche. But great atmosphere and vibe.
