Cositas Buenas

Cositas Buenas is beautiful restaurant in Tulum featuring creative dishes, a beautiful atmosphere and a great addition to the night life in Tulum pueblo.  When Cositas Buenas opened its doors this past summer I was so excited.  First of all I simply adore the people that run it.  And I have come to realize that the people and their character are what make a place truly great.  And the people that opened this place are as wonderful as you can get.  Musician and friends- I knew that whatever they set out to do with this place was going to be great and I could not have been more correct. 

The décor and overall look of the whole place is so beautiful and full of life.  With the large coconut lights beaming with colorful glass and cut out shapes of stars and suns to the chalk board menu bursting with colors and creative names.  The dessert menu cannot help but bring a smile to your face not only because of the sinfully delicious desserts but also for the daily special… AMOR!   With a side of helado if you please.

The front dining room is open and fresh and evokes an emotion that both pleases and calms at the same time.  As you pass the open kitchen to the back bar and garden you can see clearly why this is such a great spot for the local music scene.   The large open garden has a great flow of air and energy and is decorated in perfectly rich muted tones and beautiful artwork.  This is the perfect place to dance the night away under the starts surrounded by the best of natural elements of Tulum.

With wonderful breakfasts from fruit and French toasts and huevos rancheros you can leave satisfied however this spot has gained great reputations for their Pandaquiles, a play on chiliquiles (panda is one of the owners!)  And I can tell you – they are killer.

For afternoon and dinner choices you can find the great classics of the area from civiches, arrachera, chicken and fish as well as great salads, baguettes and hamburgers.  I have really loved the great salads  and tasty crepes.  They also feature fresh daily bread that can be in any number of flavors from Parmesan, rosemary, or nut.

Coming here for night time events is one of my favorite spots because of the greet bands that they book, (Panda is a great musician from the area- as are several other people with the restaurant and they know how to pick good music) but also because there is plenty of space to enjoy the music, the bar, the food and Tulum.

While in Tulum check out this great location.  Just across the street  from the ADO bus station. Check out more great spots in Tulum at our http://www.tulumliving.com/
