Gitano, Mexican restaurant and bar on Boca Paila Road, Tulum, Mexico

Gitano is a rooftop restaurant and bar on Boca Paila Road in Tulum that serves contemporary Mexican dishes in a naturally built setting. The space features handcrafted cocktails and an extensive mezcal selection, surrounded by palm trees and constructed with natural wood elements.

This dining spot was built along Tulum's beach road, transforming jungle land into a culinary destination for both locals and travelers. Its emergence reflects how the area has grown from untouched forest into a food-focused community gathering place.

Local artists are invited to perform and exhibit during regular events, creating a gathering space where contemporary Mexican cooking takes center stage. The kitchen's reliance on regional ingredients shows how traditional foodways continue to shape everyday dining here.

Reserve ahead of time, especially for dinner, since the venue fills quickly and parking is limited on Boca Paila Road. A taxi ride is a more reliable way to arrive than searching for parking at this location.

The structure uses natural wood elements integrated into the surroundings with minimal processing, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. This building approach makes the restaurant feel like a natural extension of the landscape rather than an imposed structure.

Rooftop bars in the Riviera Maya

The Riviera Maya stretches along Mexico's Caribbean coast, and rooftop bars are scattered throughout this region's main towns. You'll find them in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Puerto Morelos—each one sits high above the street, letting you look out over the water and surrounding landscape while you drink. Some are in hotels, others stand alone. Some focus on cocktails made with care, others offer cold beer and simple drinks. The rooftops themselves vary: some have lounge chairs where you can settle in for the evening, others feel more like standing bars where people mingle. What they share is the view. From up there, you see the Caribbean Sea stretching toward the horizon, or you look down at the town below as the sun sets and the lights come on.
