About the restaurant

Feeling, Art, & Reflexion. Kokoro Tulum is hidden on the rooftop of Copal Tulum Hotel, just under the stars and surrounded by the greenery of nature. You will enter by a cenote road and arrive to this sensual place, shining by Japanese orange lamps. The Spirit Of The Japanese Cuisine. Our line represents the essence and soul of the Japanese cuisine, respecting the product, using the classic techniques and playing with local ingredients. High quality, prime-cut ingredients like Baja California Bluefin Tuna or Amaebi shrimp, to ensure not only freshness but delicious flavor notes. We marry all these elements into a great play of flavor and texture through proper execution and consistency. And experience through balance of flavors, textures, colors, and temperatures appreciating each cut and raw material. Live the Experience.

Excellent experience at the Faro Blanco! It all started with service - plenty of staff, friendly and helpful. Food was flavorful, interesting and fresh. Would only say that the price includes an elevated atmosphere that the restaurant deserves, but is on the pricier end of options here in Cozumel.

About the restaurant

El espíritu del árbol de jacaranda
El árbol de Jacaranda fue trasplantado a México por inmigrantes japoneses en el siglo XX. Es una
inspiración adecuada para este restaurante teppanyaki, que fusionará técnicas clásicas japonesas y del
sudeste asiático con ingredientes y estilos locales. Kengai es la interpretación de una experiencia de
teppanyaki adaptada a Tulum.

The Spirit of the Jacaranda Tree
The Jacaranda tree was transplanted to Mexico by Japanese immigrants in the 20th century. It is a fitting
inspiration for this teppanyaki restaurant, which will merge classic Japanese and Southeast Asian
techniques with local ingredients and styles. Kengai is a new interpretation of a high-energy teppanyaki
experience, well-adapted for Tulum.

Food was outstanding; staff was knowledgeable and made great recommendations; using English was not an issue. The "Mexican Specialities" were a hit with us, and the chocolate fondant dessert was one of the best desserts that I've ever had. A definite "must go" if you are visiting Tulum!

About the restaurant

Prepare your taste buds for a symphony of flavors, a dance of fresh herbs and spices & a love affair with food that transcends the ordinary. From fresh pastas and pizzas that would make mamma proud to shrimp tacos or fresh whole fish with tio Juan’s secret recipe.
Or maybe our Buddha bowls or Gazpacho verde for a hit of veggie happiness. Our menu isn’t just a list; it’s a love letter to great food. We believe a well-prepared meal can unite people & create unforgettable memories.
