We will be down in 3 more weeks, and was wondering if anyone has any info on Lucy's Tacos? I had heard that Bart & Jen had took over.

I'm hearing Lucy's will be open around mid-November. The last couple of years it has been so I hope the same holds true this year.

Have a great trip! We'll be there in dos semanas.

We spoke with Bart when we were there last week - it seems like he said something about needing a permit or license or something, not sure exactly what the deal was but it may hold up the opening, not sure. If anyone can clarify that would be great!

I'm thinking that since Tulum took over jurisdiction a few years ago things aren't as casual as they used to be. Bart is obviously pretty good at dealing with things like this. Since it is actually a dairy manufacturing operation they might be clamping down. Good luck.
The lack of current licensing came into play when we were trying to buy Lucy's a couple of years ago.

At least I heard that the ice cream is available at Turtle Bay Cafe, I fear it will not be open when we go.

I want it to be open and I want them to bring back the grilled shrimp and fish tacos not just fried.

I want, I want, I want..................

Yep, Bart said something about Tulum authorities. I should have paid more attention, but the margaritas just have a way of making my mind wander.....

There is also that coffee place and internet cafe between Loquito's and Lol-Ha, I had some great coconut ice cream last year there with dark chocolate shavings.

That would be Cafe Te Latte.

Bart sent me a email saying they were hoping to be in their new location next to Turtlr Bay. Sounds like they are moving Lucy's over by their restaurant. Anyone seen signs of this? That sure would be easier for them to control. As long as they serve Lucy's fish tacos, I don't care where it is down there.

I would move Lucys to my other location if I was a business owner and they were so close

We had breakfast at Turtle Bay last week and I talked to Bart about Lucy's. He said he ran into problems getting the old building permitted. Seems the old building did not exist according to the folks in Tulum. He tried to get it permitted and ran into more red tape and corruption than could be reasonably handled. They will incorporate the ice cream machines in with the other equipment at Turtle Bay. He had no solid opening date. Trying for "soon."

I agree! Every year we can't wait to eat Lucy's shrimp tacos. Our favorite! I hope Bart and Jen find a way to keep Lucy's open or include them at Turtle Bay! There are many loyal foodies out there!

Options La Floresta in Pdc . El oasis just before La Floresta , take the Costituientes exit and service lanes , southbound after Juarez , watch closely . Paco Taco in Puerto Aventuras , northbound service road , under the bridge like a troll , beside Pemex , in a modern strip mall , sounds bad tastes good , no mango salsa but good toppings labeled for heat value . Abuela cart goodness in a nice clean setting . I've been spanglishing recommendations for similar tempura batter tacos from every local I see but no luck so far . Ice cream shmice cream . WE WANT OUR TACOS !
