Safari Comedor Zama

Safari Comedor Zama offers fire-roasted traditional Mexican cuisine in a Bohemian setting and has become one of Tulum's trendy hot spots. 

Our tale begins in 2015 when Chef Luis Aguilar discovered a 1971 Airstream. He transformed it into his kitchen, and voila! Safari Comedor Zama was born!

Chef Luis combines Mayan culture with his style, inspired by his jungle experiences and cooking with fire.

"Safari" hints at the adventurous essence of its menu, designed to evoke a sense of exploration with each bite. Chef Luis' dedication to honor the Mayan customs and the ingredients led to the eatery's sauce, Salsa Madre. 

Safari Comedor Zama is off the beaten path near the jungle, which adds to its allure. The setting, reclusive yet inventive, adds to its mystique. The menu is simple, but the flavors are rich without being overly complicated. 

Along with stellar food, expect tasty libations. There's nothing like toasting a day at Xel-Ha Park with a mouthwatering taco and freshly made margarita. 

Adding this eatery to your dining itinerary connects you to the roots of Mexican culinary traditions. Like a safari, you'll be in for an unforgettable dining escapade.
