Dona Tina's Concina Economica ***

This is the oldest restaurant in Tulum. Open since 1960 - this place still bring locals back again and again. The woman who runs it - Dona Tina has been running this place for years. I heard that she was one of the very first politicians in the area but I am getting more information. Something about staging a boycott of sex until their husbands did something. I am going to get more info.


This place is great. It sits on the main avenue all the way towards the edge of town. The old part of the restaurant is a large palapa. You can tell from the construction that it has been there for a long time. It is fantastic. Such a cool place.

I am sorry there was a light in the way when I took the picture of the sign.

The restaurant has been expanded and there is a new concrete section as well. The bathrooms are in this area too.

The food was great. Very great prices and a large amount of food. I cannot imagine any where else in Tulum giving as much food for that price. I got steak a la Mexicana. Your basic skillet of onion, pepper etc with beans and rice with tortillas and Ruben got a breaded steak.

The kids got horchatas and they were very good. Ruben likes the really fake processed kind so he did not like it but I did.

    We asked our guide at the Tulum ruins where she would eat in town, and she suggested Doña Tina. We'd just about given up when we found it at the end of town. Boy, were we glad we did. Now, we're pretty snooty San Francisco foodie types, so we eat out a lot and feel that we are pretty good when it comes to discerning good food from bad. This was likely the best food of our entire trip - both along the Carribean coast and inland in Mérida. The picture above of the Pollo Adobo (which is what I had) is making my mouth water.
