We were staying across the street in a condo and Gynn'AK was the most convenient place to eat when we didn't feel like venturing farther afield. That was pretty lucky! You really should go and try the lionfish tacos. You're doing a great thing for the ecosystem by providing a predator for this introduced species that's harming the area, but... More

Wonderful food! Gynna, spears the INVASIVE Lionfish daily, they are destructive, but delicious when removed, you are helping out the reef, and she is a classically trained chef. ALL the food is great. It's a Thai/Mexican Fusion that is well worth the visit. They only except cash. So, bring pesos or us dollars.

My husband has been dying to try this place for the past 2 years. Last year we couldn't find it as none of the cab drivers or local people could tell us where it was. We made sure we knew this year. Gynn'AK did not disappoint. We had pork tacos, lionfish tacos and lionfish & chips. Homemade tortillas with lime,... More

Unfortunately, we waited until our last day in Akumal to try Gynn'AK. It was, hands down, the best meal of our trip. Lionfish tacos were insanely delicious, as were the chicken curry burritos. I can't imagine why there aren't more Thai-Mexican fusion restaurants. The combination makes complete sense. So, the ambiance (outdoors, patio table and chairs, but with plenty of... More

If you are within driving distance of this side of the road dive, DO NOT MISS EATING HERE. We had second thoughts when we realized this is really a collection of plastic tables clustered in the side yard of a house on a residential road, but tried it out anyways based on TA reviews. What an excellent decision - this... More

Neat little place on the side of the road, look close or you'll miss it! The lionfish is interesting, and the curry combinations were good. We ate here on our 1st day in Akumal, where we learned that this area is generally cash only (except for the bigger restaurants like La Buena Vida). And don't pay with "foreign" currency unless...

Lionfih is not commercially available as it needs to be speared and is a treat not to be missed. The Thai/Mexican fusion results in a unique and delicious blend of spices and flavors. The restaurant is by the side of the road and doesn't look like much, but we ended up coming back and coming back again. Try the lionfish... More

We came here after several recommendations from fellow travelers over the years. The fresh lionfish and shrimp tacos we had were very good, though much more pricey than for similar fair at street site restaurants in Tulum village.

We ate here twice while on a week stay in Akumal and tried the lionfish tacos. Unfortunately we didn't like them. I believe it was the lionfish which I was hoping to like cooked so that it would become a dish people would eat. Both times we did take away and that was handy. I would try this place again... More
