A Tamale That Embodies Passion, Sustainability, and a Commitment to Flavor

By Joseph Haecker, One Bite Foodie Founder

A Sanctuary of Sustainability in Tulum

Nestled in Tulum Centro, Raw Love Cafe stands out as a beacon for health-conscious diners and sustainability enthusiasts. Located at Av. Tulum Mz 5, Lt 1, Local 21, this 100% plant-based cafe has a rich history of delivering pure, organic meals that nourish both the body and the soul. With a mission to create food free from refined sugars, preservatives, and animal products (except honey), Raw Love Cafe is as much about the ethos as it is about the eats.

From their composting practices to their chemical-free cookware and cleaning supplies, every aspect of their operation reflects a deep respect for the planet. Visitors are encouraged to join this mindful journey, even by reconsidering their use of biodegradable containers and straws.

Their new Vegan Mushroom Tamale is the perfect embodiment of this philosophy—a dish that doesn’t just feed you but connects you to the earth and the vibrant flavors of fresh, organic ingredients.



A Flawless Tamale and a Flavorful Correction

The Vegan Mushroom Tamale is a harmonious blend of portobello mushrooms, zucchini, garlic, onions, carrots, and sunflower sprouts, wrapped in soft, perfectly steamed masa. The tamale's texture is an experience in itself: the silky smooth masa contrasts with the hearty chew of the mushrooms and the crisp freshness of the vegetables.

In my video review, I mistakenly mentioned that the tamale contained spinach. The earthy flavor I noted wasn’t spinach at all but a brilliant medley of roasted mushrooms and carefully sourced vegetables. This tamale exemplifies how plant-based food can be bold, satisfying, and packed with character.
