Refreshing, Plant-based Cuisine in Tulum, Mexico
Photos by Adrienne Diaz and Amir Madison
In 2018, my partner, Amir, and I received the opportunity to teach yoga internationally. Our first stop: Tulum.
In Tulum, the magical town of Quintana Roo, somewhere deep in the the well-preserved ruins of the ancient Mayan port city, the handmade coconut tortillas, the jungle, the cenotes (natural limestone sinkholes), the ocean and locally sourced Tzalam wood and textiles, I found home.
Naturally, the key to my heart is through my stomach so I quickly fell in love with Tulum’s coastal sanctuary and endless plant-based, vegan options. Tulum’s food is the kind of food that you can feel and taste the locally sourced, handmade love.
Here is what we found, I hope you enjoy.
