No notes on the vibe of this place. The musicians are fantastic, 2 guitars, but lots of rock hits and excellent voices. Very relaxed setting with plenty of space and nice lighting. Great cocktails, one of the better quesadillas I’ve had.

The highlight of the night, besides the food and atmosphere, was our server, Oscar. He was so friendly and accommodating. Like me, he knew Spanish and English, and of course, both of us were better at our native language. The octopus taco was amazing. My wife lived her food. Definitely coming back here!

I had a lovely Monday night at this bar. One of the best bars of the street I must say. Great music, nice servers and good food/drinks! I strongly recommend it! OFFTOPIC: way better than the “fancy” restaurants at the beach!!!

Mojito Tropical
Cannot confirm it’s a regular occurrence but the night we were there our table and the tables around us kept getting bat dropping on our food and drinks, they did replace them if the food was contaminated but you probably know bats transmit some of the nastiest bacteria/bugs/viruses on earth…We constantly placed napkins to try and preserve our food but the wooden tables must be full of the stuff. Otherwise everything was OK.

The music and the whole decoration of the place is great.
The drinks are good, but a little bit expensive.
However the food and service was awful and definitely doesn't worth.
I waited more than an hour for the food, my friends finished their dishes and when we requested the bill, they gave me my food to take away. So rude!

Ajala will surprise you with the delicious food taste.
The chiles sauce are not hot for those are not tolerant to hot taste food.
The mojito drinks are not watered down and they have the right amount of alcohol and sweet.
Price is really affordable for and l anyone.
100% recommended.
Pleasant Caribbean atmosphere and vibe. Live music. The food is tasty and the cocktails are not watered down. Totally recommend this restaurant. It's an oasis of good vibes in a multitude of tourist traps that only try to hustle you.
We walked around looking for a place to eat. At first we were looking for a good vibe with good music but we were hungry and a good meal was most important so I checked google for reviews and saw Ajala was a 4.6 and restaurants nearby were mostly 4.3 to 4.5 so I choose Ajala. Wow! I can’t believe it’s only a 4.6 - it was easily a 4.7 and probably more like a 4.8. The food was fresh, the atmosphere was perfect and the drinks were made well with the right amount of alcohol, not like the watered down drinks at Rosa Negra or most of the other establishments on the beach. I had the catch of the day which was a white fish with mashed cauliflower and it was excellent! The guac was perfect with a slight twist. I ordered a burrito just to taste it and ended up eating most of it - I left there stuffed and satisfied. Excellent service btw!

Amazing food and service! I really wanted French toast but it wasn’t available, so I got the avocado toast and a mocha, and it was just as good. My husband and I got two coffees and two breakfasts and only paid $20 USD. We highly recommend!!
Wow! Everything was so good and authentic. We had the house margaritas (finally, nice, freshening quality drinks in tulum that weren’t stingy on the alcohol! And the tequila is artesanal, so delicious!); the guacamole, which had cucumber slices , so refreshing and tasty; quesadilla de chicharrón (different, savory and delicious); short rib w/ greens (tender and flavorful); and the fresh catch which came with cauliflower mashed and greens in a garlic marinade - - everything was wonderful!! Thank you and enhora buena! to the owner, Ivan, who greeted us and shared the establishment’s story. The whole experience was so lovely. We will be back, God willing!
