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!

This was THE best food and service I had in Cancun for my 7 day vacation. I found it walking around the shops, and stopped for lunch and then the next day went back for dinner and brought friends. The service is equivalent to a Michelin star restaurant in NYC. It’s amazing and should be on everyone’s list! The servers are amazing and you can trust whatever they recommend will be amazing!

The address on open table was wrong. The correct address is: Carretera Bocapaila 127 77764 Tulum, Q. Roo. Mexico We got all turned around and late to our reservation. The restaurant was very accommodating and understand. Other than that, everything was perfect! Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Tulum.
