Chef Claudia Pérez Rivas's Michelin Bib Gourmand kitchen in Tulum town — traditional Yucatecan technique, seasonal produce, and preparations that most beach-zone restaurants ignore. One of the few restaurants in Tulum that earns a detour from the beach on its cooking alone.
Why It Belongs on the List
Cetli is Tulum's premier restaurant — chef Claudia Pérez Rivas earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for her deeply rooted approach to Oaxacan and Yucatecan cuisine. The tlayudas, mole, and cochinita pibil are prepared with a level of care rarely found in the beach zone. Right next to Cenote Calavera — combine a morning cenote visit with lunch here.
What Stands Out
- Michelin Bib Gourmand — exceptional value
- Authentic Oaxacan and Yucatecan cuisine — rare in Tulum
- Chef Claudia Pérez Rivas — one of the best in the Yucatán
- Right next to Cenote Calavera — perfect for a cenote lunch combo
- Tlayudas
- mole
- and cochinita pibil are the moves
