On a quiet back street of downtown Tulum on February 2oth 2004 chef Claudia Perez Rivas, turn her house into a most delightful and charming restaurant, a destination
The complimentary tasting plate is alone a marvel, with Xicatic sauce, mini requeson and chile serrano quesadillas, pelliscadas, a miniature tostadatopped with beans and cheese, the best bread and queso fresco with betavel (beet) jam and a vegetarian tamale made with corn, butter and garlic – it is quite the experience.
Be sure to have a Topil soup and a Tamarind Margarita to round out the starters.
The menu was authentic and varied to suit a variety of palates and is vegetarian friendly.
The Mexican zucchini, stuffed and baked with vegetables and chaya (wild spinach) over a bed of roasted tomatoe sauce and Stuffed poblano pepper with huithacoche (corn fungus) and red peanut mole are two standouts.
On our second visit a year later – same menu – we tried the same dishes plus the fish with huithacoche sauce. This combination was not as successful as the others; but overall it was a nice, if similar, experience.
