I first discovered Taquería La Chiapaneca two years ago while staying in Tulum, and I was so excited to return in 2025. This place is absolutely fantastic! They’ve moved to a new location, which now has a beautiful inner yard where you can enjoy your food outdoors in a relaxed setting. The menu is available in both Spanish and English, so ordering is easy even if you don’t speak Spanish. They offer a great variety of beers, plus sodas and water, and the prices are very reasonable and affordable. I truly love this place and will definitely come back whenever I’m in Tulum. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic tacos and a great atmosphere!

If you choose one spot to get tacos in Tulum Puebla, make it here. The al pastor tacos were so flavourful and fresh, we particularly enjoyed the added sauces and being able to choose fresh toppings to add to it. This was our first time trying micheladas and we highly recommend!

Really solid tacos, especially for Tulum. Stop by for a few beers (50 pesos each) and 4 al pastor tacos (20 pesos each) and hang out for a bit in their back courtyard. Staff is very friendly and attentive, but I do recommend looking up a few Spanish phrases to make your visit a little more seamless.

Great authentic place! This place wasn’t touristy and definitely felt like a local neighborhood restaurant. The tacos were really good from the ones that we got. Also very inexpensive. I would definitely go back here again.

Took us 3 days to find a real local tacos restaurant and I was really happy to eat well for a good price! I loved the tacos there

Changes!!! This long-time Tulum favorite MOVED to the opposite end of Centro across from GoMart and next to the Downtown Tulum hotel. Excellent food and service at inexpensive prices. The new outdoor garden is comfortable and pleasant. Love the new location!!

5 delicious tacos for 70 pesos! Amazingly filling and very tasty for the best price I have found so far! I ate one in the pic. Ordinarily I would never eat pineapples with my chicken, but it was so scrumptious. I was full after eating 3 and continued eating the rest, because I couldn’t help it. Lol
