Oasis Cocteleria, Tulum ***

Ruben's old boss was working at this restaurant for a while and we kept telling him that we would come by.  Well we finally got the chance.  As soon as a girlfriend of mine from the states got here, we headed off to give it a shot.  It has gotten a lot of good talk on the tulum.info forum.  

It is quite a few clocks off the main avenue but well worth the trek.  Once we got the restaurant we headed upstairs to the large palapa 2nd floor.  It was a nice clear night and the colors were changing in the sky behind us.  There was no one else dining in the restaurant and we had the whole place to ourselves.

The margaritas were very good. They came in the correctly sized glass rather then the fish bowl thanks god.  The decor was quite nice.  A bright yellow with sea fish decor throughout.  I had heard from my good friend Margo that the Camarones Diablo were very good so we got that as well as a number of other things.

I was not impressed with the nachos that we ordered.  I hate that creamy cheese.  I do not know why I just always have.  Unless I am at a sports events eating nachos I think regular cheese should be used.  But that might just be me. 

I did like the guacamole.  I use guac as a real barometer of a restaurant.  It has very few ingredients and is easy to make.  Yet a lot of people mess with their guac and I do not like that.  The picture does not look great but it was after the first few tasty margaritas! hahahaha!

The camarones Diablo were amazing.  We ended up ordering a second order.  By now we were well into margaritas so no pics of the shrimp! Sorry. Next time.

The prices were better then on the main Avenue and that was nice.  It was not a hard or dangerous walk to the main avenue either.
