Thanks to all who made it into the restaurant after seeing the Univision Healthy Eating Special. We were honored to host the event at Regalito and are proud to have our commitment to healthy Mexican food and organic ingredients highlighted.

Chef Thomas Pena visited Tulum in February for some field research, rest and relaxation. He spent the trip eating street and stall food at the local markets and came back with the inspiration for this months regalito.

We’re excited to announce a special night in April with an international guest chef appearance of Chef Gil Hova and a fixed menu highlighting a special dish, Shashuka with spicy Merguez sausages. Shashuka is a Yiddish favorite and we’re excited to host Gil.

The event will be held on April 22nd. We’re expecting a full house so please sign up early. You can make reservations here.

In honor of lent we’ll be preparing different fava bean based tastes for our guests in March. Come in and enjoy the different flavors!

It’s time to make reservations at Regalito for Valentines Day. We’ll be serving our regular menu (made with extra love) along with some new specials. For those who make it in, we’ll also have a Valentine’s Day Regalito for you: a special complimentary desert with the purchase of any two entrees.

You can make reservations here.

We’ve put together a custom menu of items, combinations and entire meals that travel well and are delicious for one or the whole family. As part of our February focus on takeout we wanted to highlight a few of our favorites that are great on the go:

Enchilades Verdes ~ Corn Tortillas dipped in green sauce, stuffed with Rocky Junior free range chicken and garnished with queso fresco, crema, onions and cilantro.

Carnitas ~ Niman Ranch pork shoulder, avocado, and salsa–served with whole pintos and our homemade tortillas.

Pollo Libre ~ A family meal for four ~ A whole roast, Rocky Junior free range chicken with rice, beans, salsa and our homemade tortillas.

Pollo de Rosticeria ~ Whole roast, Rocky Junior free range chicken from the rosticeria. Quartered and served to go.

In honor of our re-designed takeout menu all February takeout orders over $40 will receive a complimentary order of our famous Guacamole y Tostadas.

Yes, you heard it correctly. The highlight of January’s Specials were our Pigs Feet Tacos (Patas de Puerco). Served with minced onions, cilantro and smothered in our homemade green sauce, one customer described them as “beautiful.” January’s specials also included Pollo Frito ~ Your Mexican Mamas Fried Chicken, Albondigas ~ Mexican Meatball Soup and Breakfast Tortas de Juevos y Chorizo.

In February, you can expect more of these same favorites along with some new twists. Here’s a quick preview of what else you can look for:
