Taqueria Eufemia

Amazing Margaritas, Great Service, Best Taco’s! Try the Beef or Fried Fish! Yum!

Tacos were the bomb drinks were great guac and ceviche were off the chain music was tight place is great and the workers are so nice and fast and funny I don’t want to leave

30 pesos for a taco on Tulum Boca Paila beach is a deal! The margaritas are good too.
The sign from the road isn’t easy to see. It just says, «chic taco boutique»

Come here and get some fuc*ing tacos. Great vibe. Great service with a smile. Great view. Cheap but oh so yummy.

Awesome cheap tacos ($ 1) with live music right on the beach. A bit hidden from the street side. Reggae feel. Breakfast tacos all day. HH 6−8PM with 2×1 drinks.

Delicious, affordable, and efficient service!
I love how you get to put on your own toppings once you receive your tacos. My husband and I had the following: tacos (pastor w/​marinade, beef, fried shrimp) and fried, stuffed jalepenos. Mmmm Mmmm~~YUM! We weren’t even that hungry, but these were lovely and quite tasty. The service is quick and the view of the beach is wonderful. We especially love the music they play: funky and chill.
When we return to Tulum, we will definitely be dining here again.
Cheers, Eufemia!

We were in Tulum end of November, beginning of December. We were just looking for a laid back taqueria and we found it. We first approached via the beach and were greeted with the «time to relax and eat some f#cking tacos» sign as well as hipsters laying around on the sun beds. We grabbed a table near the beach side and were instantly greeted, which surprised us as we read about very slow service. We didn’t experience it on this visit. We ordered some beers, guac with chips and some tacos. I’m vegetarian and ordered their option for me. I actually wasn’t expecting much as I’ve had the typical ‘carrot and zucchini’ vegetarian filling several times prior at other restaurants. However, this one was very flavorful and not bland like it was everywhere else. My boyfriend had 3 different meat fillings and enjoyed them all. I believe the pork was his favorite. I had read that all the sauces were up in front of the cook, so we knew to go up there and load up. There was a DJ spinning tunes while we were there and we were fortunate to see Eufemia there. (She wouldn’t face me, but she sure did enjoy my petting her…) We loved it so much, we came back the next day. our last day in Tulum. And yup, we experienced the laaaaid back service. We sat there for quite awhile while we saw several waiters just standing there, it was very confusing. Even after we did get service, it was very slow. Not sure what the difference between the two days was. But we still enjoyed the view, our food and the prices.

Sexy slumming. Nasty mattresses with nasty trustafarians beachside, a topless 19-​year-​old, dogs, naked babies, decent tacos, yummy drinks.

Really not great given the wide range of choices here in Tulum. Service abysmally slow. Food mediocre.

You have to love a a place that advertises «Time to relax and eat some fuc*ing tacos!»
Taqueria Eufemia has a beautiful location and is the most popular restaurant on the beach. We came here a few times and it was consistently packed with both locals and travelers. We even saw some of the staff from our hotel eating there too. Tacos are delicious and affordable 20 – 30 pesos per taco — easily the lest expensive on the beach road. Great music and margaritas too!

Amazing view and chill scene. Tacos are delicious, you really can’t go wrong with any one of them, and you’ll probably end up making a second order. Sincerely this was one of our favorite spots during our stay in Tulum and a must-​visit!

This is a great value taco spot ($ 30 per taco compared to $ 120 at my hotel). Friendly, fast service and the food was hot and delicious. The salsa bar was great — I loved the habanero pineapple one. Perfect for lunch and right on the beach.

Wandering around Tulum, we met a local dog named Eufemia who we fell in love with. She’s huge, smelly, has crooked teeth, and a crazy hairdo and is the sweetest pooch. Her owner told us that she’s such a local celeb that some guys opened a taqueria down the road and named it after her. Thank goodness she told us about this or else I don’t think we would have ever found it!
There’s no big flashy sign from the road, just a small one that advertises a ‘chic taco boutique.’ I loved that tongue in cheek reference to all the ‘chic eco’ boutiques and hotels that line this street.
Once you reach the beach, you may be hit with a whiff of something, and it ain’t carne asada. Let’s just say the smell matched the low-​key young vibe of the place. There’s a DJ who plays reggae song after reggae song, and it was probably the highest concentration of people in their 20s that I saw the whole time in Tulum.
While this ambiance is perfect for kicking back and enjoying the beach, it’s not necessarily the best for getting fast service. After sitting and waiting for a server for over 10 minutes, we hunted one down to order our food. He was super nice but just as ‘relaxed’ as everyone else, and even joked with us, saying our food would be out in five minutes then hysterically laughing.
Once the food did come out, it was more than worth the wait. They had a two for one taco deal and it took everything in me not to get 10 tacos just for myself. The fried fish taco was so fresh, piping hot, perfectly fried. The grilled shrimp variety that I got was so flavorful, and packed with shrimp. Both went perfectly with the margaritas we ordered.
We knew we were in a good spot when we saw people who worked in our hotel coming to hang out on their days off. In a pretty touristy stretch of the city, it’s cool to see true locals just hanging out!

I gathered from a short (broken) Spanglish chat with a local at this taco joint that «Eufemia» roughly translates to something like «euphoria» in English. Well, there’s no better description than euphoric for those tacos! You order the tacos like a normal restaurant and then can go load it up with delicious toppings from the salsa bar on the kitchen counter. It’s a perfect mix of beach bum restaurant with a street taco truck style. You can’t beat their price point for this area either. Fish tacos were $ 30 pesos each, and on some nights they have a 2 for 1 special. We must have hit the jackpot because the happy hour was an hour of free beer! Can’t get much happier than that! A Mexican reggae rock band played in the evening and we danced the night away on the beach! You pay for tacos but you get one hell of an experience! Sombreros off to La Eufemia!

5 stars — not for being a 5 star restaurant but for being a stellar experience.
La Eufemia touts itself to be a «chic taco boutique» and that it is. So what is a chic taco boutique? It’s a beach bar with swanky wooden stools topped by leopard print pillows, a round-​the-​clock DJ, a bartender named Edgar who smiles all the time and hands out complimentary chips and salsa, a bar that has the images of Jimi Hendrix and other rock’n’roll greats etched into the backs of the chairs. It’s a place you roll up to and immediately feel at home. It’s also a place that serves some really good fuckin’ tacos.
The menu here is spectacularly cheap — about 20 pesos a taco ($ 1.30) and a great set of appetizers plus an «all day breakfast» menu. The DJ plays requests from his laptop and it’s all just infectious loungey type stuff that makes you feel relaxed and cool (even if you have sand up your nose and a raccoon eyes sunburn).
The tacos themselves — amazing. The grilled fish tacos were like butter. Soft, moist, delicately flavored, full of crunchy and pillowy textures. Everything good about a fish taco. Everything at La Eufemia is made food truck-​style with all the cooking and prepping going on furiously next to the bar. The housemade hot salsa was out of this world. The jalapeño popper starters were a must-​try. Large jalapeños stuffed with Oaxaca cheese and dipped in a light batter and flash fried. No breadcrumb coatings and cream cheese-​meets-​thousand-​island fillings that remind you of 2-​for-​1 nights at the dive bar where men had no teeth. These poppers were characteristically «comfort-​gourmet» and they made me day.
If you don’t like a drink or a taco, the establishment firmly believes you don’t have to pay for it. They aim to please and the attitude there, as well as the quality of the cocktails and food, made us regulars there, whether it was for lunch, happy hour (6 – 8), or dinner. Go. Here.

This taco stand lives up to its reputation. We stayed 40 yards from there at hotel Azucar and it was our first lunch stop. The service was friendly and speedy, the view of the ocean was fantastic, and to round it all out the tacos were delicious. Homemade white corn tortillas, your choice of meat, oh yeah and a homemade salsa bar. We had a Sol and a piña colada and spent few pesos in comparison to places like ziggy’s up the beAch. We stayed in Tulum 6 nights and ate there twice. A must stop if your visiting.

Relaxing spot right on the beach for awesome fish tacos and margaritas! Very mellow crowd here, plenty of hippie yoga types, good energy and even a sign that reminds you to just (f-​word-​ing) relax.

After lazying it up on the beach all morning, we finally got hungry just past noon. We walked over to this beachfront taqueria and found ourselves a table on the sand under the sun with ocean view just a few yards away. It was such a beautiful day out!
We ordered 2 pork, 2 beef, 1 fish, and 1 shrimp taco. We also got a fresh coconut to rejuvenate from frying in the sun. Oh yea and a bowl of chips and guac to munch on because in Mexico you HAVE to have chips if you are going to have tacos.
When my husband’s tacos came they were plain with no salsa and no fixings. It looked really disappointing. Just meat and tortilla. The guy who sat next to us heard our disappointed comments and kindly told us that all the fixings were over in the corner where we can self serve. So we sauntered over and were delighted to find pineapple salsa amongst the choices. I of course had to try every salsa. None were too spicy but it wasn’t without some fuego either! I loved my fish and shrimp tacos. Big meaty pieces! In hindsight I should have just ordered two fish tacos. That’s not to say the shrimp wasn’t delicious, I just enjoyed the fish more.
Prices are cheap. Ambience relaxed. You definitely feel like you are on vacay here!
