Restaurants near El Paraiso en Tulum

Perfect party! Excellence food! The best people in the world!

After dining here twice, once on a date night with my partner and once with a group of friends, I can confidently say that this is in my top 3 restaurants in the world — and I’ve visited 48 countries and eaten my way through most of the worlds 50 best. No meal is complete without the bone marrow or soft shell crab tacos. Our server Mario was beyond accommodating and even brought out a copal smoke ceremony just for us since we remembered loving it our previous visit and wanted our friends to experience. Is this a “value meal?” Absolutely not. But you are paying for some of the best food, wine, cocktails, and service in Mexico if not in the world. 11/10, can’t wait to come back

The service was excellent and attentive from start to finish. The Greek salad was fresh and absolutely delicious, with perfectly balanced flavors. However, the spanakopita was a disappointment—it arrived cold, overly salty, and soggy. The steak, on the other hand, was beautifully seasoned and cooked just right, and the drinks were well-balanced and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the potatoes were far too salty and not edible. Despite these hiccups, the manager was very attentive, addressed our concerns, and made sure we were taken care of, which really elevated the experience. Overall, I’d definitely return to give it another try!

Dining at Casa Bananas was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food and service were absolutely top-notch, making for an unforgettable evening. The smell of wood burning in the open kitchen transported us straight to Argentina, evoking the authentic flavors and ambiance of a traditional asado. Every dish was perfectly reminiscent of the rich, smoky, and vibrant culinary traditions of the region. The attention to detail in both the preparation and presentation was impeccable. The cocktails were creative and well-crafted, though I found them just slightly off-balance—but that’s likely just me being overly picky. They were still enjoyable and complemented the meal beautifully. Overall, Casa Bananas is a must-visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience. Highly recommend!

We got the pool island. It was so much fun. Great service by Ezekiel. Best pool party.
