This place certainly has an array of choices . The property is beautiful and I’m sure they may have other staff that is adequate. My waiter was terrible. I arrived at 11:30am during low season and my experience being African American in an empty establishment was terrible.

Really nice place for happy hour /early dinner. Got the ceviche, fish tacos and arranchera burrito. The food was delicious. The staff were really nice. The happy hour drinks were great. They customized my mojitos to passion fruit mojitos. It was great. Would definitely come back and recommend this place.

My wife and I definitely enjoyed our dinner at El Tabano. All staff members were very kind and supportive. We shared Burrito Pork Pibil and loved it. We cannot understand the negative reviews we’ve seen/read before. Prices are a little bit higher but the restaurant is located in a prime area if the beach hotels.
We clearly recommended this place for dinner.

What a beautiful beach bar/restaurant. Such a vibe. Service was friendly and awesome. Food was tasty and great portions. Music was very nice, makes you move your body lol. Drinks were on point.
I tried to upload my food video but I'm unable to. The food was yummy and with great portions.

The owner was very charming. The food was exquisite, the flavors were very authentic and the dishes were just perfect. Ordered the Green Ceviche, the Pumpkin seed fish and the Habanero Butter Shrimp. Definitely going back to this gem before returning home.

The happy hour for drinks was a good deal but everything else is very expensive and very over priced. I will say everything we had to eat was good and the margaritas were delicious but the prices were still very steep for what we got. I would recommend stopping by 3-7 for BOGO margs and skip the food

I ordered a skirt steak, but when it came there was no steak to be found, it was all fat. I couldn’t cut through any of it, when I did finally cut through it, i couldn’t even chew it. I changed my order to the more expensive t bone steak and asked for medium well. It was nearly completely raw when they brought it to me. I’ve spent almost an hour now trying to get edible food. It is extremely over priced for the area and not great food (at least the food I ordered) I wouldn’t waste your time or money eating here. Much better places to eat in the hotel/beach zone. I will say the staff was very nice and the staff is for sure 5 stars but the food is 1 stars.

We stopped off at this place to get breakfast. We sat down before looking at the menu and the prices. The food was decent but the prices are absolutely extortionate! I would avoid this place at all costs they are clearly trying to scam tourists and charge way over the odds. We got two orange juices, scrambled eggs and a portion of toast and it came to 40 US dollars! The waiter also added on a tip of 15% without asking us first.

I stopped at this place after biking about 5 miles on a beach bike in the heat. There were only 2 customers in the place.
I took a seat, recovering myself for a few minutes and responding to some text messages. Literally every 60 seconds the fat little guy behind the bar would pester me for my order as if he couldn’t see I was otherwise occupied. After the 5th time I told him to give me a break I’ll order when I’m good and ready (in Spanish which I speak fluently). I hadn’t even been given a menu by the way!!
Anyway, from there he and the other employee became more and more aggressive … anyway even though I was hot and thirsty I told them they could buzz off there are only about 100 restaurants and bars along the road parallel to the beach.
This place isn’t even on the beach … I ended up having a lovely refreshing meal right on the beach at Nomad.
My conclusion: These people have absolutely no concept of customer service. I’d recommend one of the many other options in the immediate vicinity.

Decent food but wow what a tourist trap for value. Paid 1400 pesos (80 USD) for small plate of coconut shrimp, chilaquiles, two drinks. Food and service is all right but nothing special.
