Casa Banana - Tulum

I will be dreaming of this meal. The beet salad was one of the best things I've ever had. The bread was phenomenal. The steak was amazing and the chimichurri that goes with it is out of this world. Cocktails were 10/10. Portions are big here so don't over order! We easily could have split a few dishes between the 4 of us and been just fine! We had a lot of steak leftover. Prices are not terrible either. The ambiance so really dreamy. Candlelight and the fire they cook the food over is mostly what you see and it's just so relaxing. They don't offer you any substances by the bathroom here so that automatically makes you feel way more comfortable. And our waiter was awesome. He was very attentive and quick with bringing our food. Casa Banana is a must while you're here.

Pricey but good (drinks) . Hubby and I walked in without a rezy and just sat at the bar. There, you'll have the pleasure of watching the cute mixologists create their boozy concoctions. We didn't join for dinner, but saw smiles all around. We especially enjoyed the good music and tropical bass vibes in background. Cheeers!

This was one of my favorite dinners in Tulum! Locals told us Casa Banana is known as one of the best restaurants in Tulum (quoted as legendary . It was delicious. We really enjoyed everything we had. The ambiance is in the middle of the jungle which was pretty cool. It is located on the hotel strip and pretty close to all the other popular clubs and restaurants. It was a short walk from our hotel, Ahau. The prices are a little expensive but we found everything to be worth it. I would definitely come back here again, it was delicious!

4.5 stars. Solid restaurant and the best one we had on this trip. MUST GET: Grilled whole fish. Super fresh and tender done at high temperature on the grill SOLID: Grilled chorizo: fantastic cherry tomatoes. pickled eggplant served as a nice counterpoint to the chorizo Beet salad: very big portion. Solid dish but not sure if I love the grilled version. Slightly prefer the boiled version marinated. SKIP: Calamari salad : I was expecting sauteed calamari. Grilled calamari was a bit too dry for a salad.

We enjoyed a delicious meal here on our last night in Tulum. Our hotel recommended this spot. The ambiance was amazing...outside seating, candlelight and they cook food over a wood fire which adds to the experience. We both had a few cocktails which were tasty. And we both had the rib eye medium rare which came with mashed potatoes. The steak was huge and tasty, loved the salt coating. I also loved the soundtrack even though it was American boomer music. I do think the prices were a bit on the high side, but we enjoyed it.
