Best in Tulum! Not just in tamales :)

Ate here twice so far during a long stay in Tulum. I've been to many of the vegan places so far but Suculenta truly stands out.

First time we ate Tamales which were absolutely perfect. Texture is the perfect balance between fluffy and chewy and the choices in flavours were unique and inviting to our western taste buds.

The second time we went we had the Enchiladas and the meatball with pipián sauce (a kind of mole made with roasted and blended sunflower seeds). The best thing I have eaten on this trip!! So rich, creamy and nutty. The meatballs themselves were made with amaranth and seeds. They tasted unlike any "mock" meat I've had before... Simply delectable :)

Other bonuses? Super cozy back garden to chill out. Friendly cats. Even friendlier staff!
I will be back for more!

Pros: Authentic food off the beaten track, Unique flavours, Friendly, homely and unhurried atmosphere

Lovely

This place seems to be mostly run by 99% women. Lovely beautiful spot. Fantastic food. Tamales are to die for! And who doesn't love supporting mexican women....who are also cooking amazing vegan food. Definitely go here. 🌞

Pros: Vegan mexican food ! Yummy

Cons: Non

Tasty Tasty Tasty

A tasty and affordable spot in Tulum offering traditional Mexican dishes vegan style. I have eaten here twice, I enjoyed the enchiladas which felt nourishing and was lucky enough to experience a special menu which they brought out for Mexican independence day. It was all delicious.

Regarding deserts I only tried their carrot cake and in my opinion you can totally skip this. There are two other vegan deserts on the menu but I haven't tried those.

Pros: All vegan options , Special menu during special occasions

Cons: Carrot cake is no bueno

This place kept me alive

So happy I found this place. I stocked up on the tamales during my trip. So good!! I bought plantain chips to go with them from the vegan market across the street

Best vegan tamale

After reading the reviews i had high expectations and was not let down.
We came for breakfast and had 4 of the 5 tamales as well as beans and fried banana, and a fresh juice.
There was only 1 tamale that I thought was not great, but the rest were incredible.
The beans and juice were also fantastic.
The venue is super chilled and the courtyard is wonderful.
Great staff as well.
We came back for dinner and had the mushroom tacos, veggie soup, mole with rice and veggies and enchiladas with green sauce.
Again, it was all superb, but my favourite was the mole.
It was a bit spicier than others, but delicious nonetheless.
Ask for some tortilla to have with it if needed.
10/10

Pros: All vegan , Best vegan tamale and mole, Great location

Tamal—HEY! 🫔

We took the mission very seriously to try every tamale on the menu!! Then we ordered more to go for breakfast the next day. (It’s always so annoying trying to find vegan breaky on holiday.) Cada tamale estaba delicioso.

Pros: All the tamales are so good!!, It’s fun to watch the staff make tamales!

BEST vegan food in Tulum!!!

Absolutely delicious!! We've tried many vegan/veggie places worldwide and this one stands out by a magnitude!!!!!

Coming to this area, we were looking for some vegan food that was not only vegan but well made and thoughtfully created. We decided to try this place as their tamales caught our attention! (Note: this place was so good we kept coming back every night)

The first night we tried many of their tamales, all of which were unique and freshly made with whole ingredients. We also ordered their tacos, plantains and beans, and veggie soup. Their agua frescas are also super refreshing. The next night we had more tamales as well as their pozole (it was so filling and hearty, feels like home). Then the next day we came back again and tried their enchiladas (obviously, they were to die for) and their house mole with rice and veggies. This mole was truly the best I've ever tried, and the way they served it with perfectly cooked veggies and rice made this dish a match made in heaven. The next night we came to try their veggie meatballs with pipian and the sauce was absolutely delicious!! I'm a sucker for soups and sauces so this was definitely one of my favorites here as well :)

On top of that, the owners and workers here are extremely friendly and welcoming, they don't shove the menu in your face when you walk by and are super willing to converse with you. They feel more like friends than restaurant owners/workers.

I would definitely keep ordering this every time I come back. I wish I could eat their food every day! I'll come here as much as I can while I am here😄If you ever come to this area, this is a MUST VISIT. Thank you, Suculenta Tamaleria!

cute restaurant with great mexican food

I had the oyster tacos and the plantain and both dishes were delicious. For non-spicy eaters: the tacos are a bit spicy. I also had the carrot cake and it was very good, too. The fresh juice is freshly made. Prices are pretty low.

Cute spot for gorgeous Tamales!

The Tamales are so good, there's quite a few different options and they're all delicious. Also, one of the only places we've found that does refried beans w plantain?! The garden is a really gorgeous spot too, super chill. The staff are super friendly also which we love.

Jummi vegan Tamales

It is a small place ans compared to a lot of other vegan places in Tulum really affordable.
They also offer other dishes then just Tamales but we came for them. We ordered the mole one and the one with pumpkin. Both tasted flavourful and the fillings were plentiful.
We also ordered a vegetable soup. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was hot and you know when you can feel that something warms you up from the inside and is nothing but good for you? This was the soup. I also felt like salad but the one they have is rather big, so the costumised a smaller one for me.
We drank the green juice and one with fruits and ginger.

Best food in Tulum

We ordered 3 flavors of tamales and the chilaquiles and everything was amazing! I wish we would have gone there at the beginning of our trip because we probably would have gone back every day. My husband who is not vegan was also obsessed. We couldn’t stop talking about the food here to everyone.

Vegan Tamales!

5 different types of vegan tamales. So happy to try these Mexican traditional dishes in a began kitchen! The juices and coffee were good as well the bean with plantains was a great sharing dish for the table. The restaurant has a beautiful back garden with tons of plants. When in Tulum you must stop here at some point to try their tamales

Pros: Tamales, Back garden, Friendly staff

Great spot in Tulum

Staff is super friendly. Garden in back is a nice little oasis. The bean tamale was sizable for an appetizer and the oyster mushroom tacos were delicious. Just enough spice for my sensitive gringa palate. Fairly priced for Tulum.
