Nice spot in what seemed like an old house, a bit off the beaten track but good food and drink in an interesting setting!

Great place, amazing tapas and cocktails. I felt like I was in a hip little bar around the block that the locals hang out in. Lots of europeans and locals..... indie rock music videos playing on a wall in the backyard. House music on the weekends. YAY love this place

Very cosy bar serving excellent tapas style food in a friendly atmosphere. Cocktails were delicious, especially the Mojito and the Moska Mule! Don't miss out the funky crazy bar top shaped like a huge colourful insect of some sort! The music was also excellent with some cool movies showing on a huge screen.

Tulum's most eccentric and fun nightclub/restaurant! A terrific mix of locals and travelers stop by for delicious tapas and inventive cocktails. Many nights have cult classic movies or awesome dj's! Be sure to chat with the owners; they are most amazing!

We did a quick fly-by just to check this place out, and WOW! Such a cool space, filled with eye candy (meaning the decor, though the patrons and staff were just as hip and attractive as the interiors). Gorgeous, hip design, quirky murals, weird little objets d'art, and a young hip local crowd (and mostly gay, that night). There are... More

Some Mexican friends told us about this place. The atmosphere was nice and we had fun. We were expecting soemthing more about the food, not bad but nothing special, this place is more a bar than a restaurant. If you are looking for a good dinner in town go to Ginger and than come here for a drink.

If you're in or even near Tulum don't pass up the opportunity to visit. Mosca Verde is unlike any other restraunt in Tulum; they offer a varied tapas menu (the croquetas de jamon, salmon and tomato montaditos and calamares are to die for) a broad selection of drinks (with 1/2 liter specials), movies outdoors, and an interior decor you'll have...

This funky, modern and uniquely designed bar in downtown Tulum has really got a great vibe. You can tell the owners put their all into creating this little slice of metropolitan tropical flair in a low key eco-friendly beach town. I didn't get a chance to try their tapas, but everything that came out of their kitchen looked very yummy.... More
