About the restaurant

Esta majestuosa parrilla de llama abierta está inspirada en la vista del fuego vivo y el aroma del aire fresco del océano besado por la sal. Dedicado al delicado arte de la preparación de mariscos, toda la experiencia se basa en una enérgica cocina abierta. Cada plato incorpora un elemento de humo, carbón o fuego, algunos sutiles, otros más evidentes. Desde abundantes presentaciones de barras crudas hasta pescado entero asado a la parrilla para dos, este agradable restaurante nocturno celebra la belleza del mar y el poder de las llamas.

Malpeque is a fully amazing experience. The space itself is perfection. We sat facing outward to the ocean with waves, palm trees, and a reflection pool. The service was perfect. Attentive, knowledgeable, and never intrusive. The food was simply incredible. Their ability to prepare the freshest fish and shellfish is unlike anything we have ever tasted. The yellow tail crudo rivals any that I have ever had and the grilled colossal shrimp and spiny lobster were the best we have ever eaten. The creativity of the chef while maintaining the simple natural flavors of the fish, seafood and ingredients is superior. I would suggest this dining experience to everyone. We will most definitely return soon!

Kuu is a Japanese expression that refers to the connection between space, emptiness and an opportunity for limitless creativity.

Embark on a personalized Japanese culinary journey and experience the artistry cuisine of chef Hirokazu Sato in the omakase style – a form of Japanese dining in which guests “leave it up” to the Chef to provide a tailored menu based on seasonality and available ingredients at their finest.

We had a wonderful dinner at Gaia yesterday with my family. The service was truly astonishing—Cesar and Bruno went above and beyond to make the experience personal and memorable. The raw bar tour, along with their detailed explanations, gave us a new appreciation for sustainable fishing practices. The food was exceptional. The bacalao was hands down the most delicious fish I’ve ever had, and I highly recommend the Ensenada Cebiche—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. A fantastic dining experience all around!

About the restaurant

Important: We are an only adults restaurant, all guests must be 18 or older.
Moro is the heartbeat of Habitas Tulum. More than just a restaurant, it is a gathering space for our family—morning, noon or night. It’s here we come together with sand between our toes, under the shade of the trees, to catch up and share our stories.⁠ Situated just feet from the Caribbean Sea, our dining experience takes inspiration from the raw beauty of nature.

Our culinary philosophy is rooted in the quality and preparation of our local ingredients. Over the years, we’ve built meaningful relationships with regional farms and suppliers to ensure the highest-quality ingredients for our seasonal menus. Our unique dishes are prepared using wood fire techniques and offer surprising, rich flavors that echo regional and Latin cuisines with touches of Middle Eastern inspiration.

This is the second time we went to La Popular in Nomade Holbox. The first time we had a female server who was very attentive. This time the server was not paying very much attention to us. He didn't come by to take our order and once we waved him down, he got our order wrong. The food is very expensive - way overpriced. But the ambiance is nice.
