My friend had been in Tulum all week in preparation for her son’s wedding. She stayed on the beach at the Ahau, yet ate lunch at The Beach Club Kanan daily. I joined her for lunch the afternoon of the Welcome Drinks and Dinner party.

Each day, she ordered the same dish for lunch, their simple shrimp with a white rice garnish and a choice of three sauces. The Kanan offered a garlic mojo, a devil sauce and a garlicky guajillo sauce. We wanted all three, as she did each day.

Kenten Marin, their executive chef, had to come from the kitchen to meet us. “Who would order all three sauces?” he asked.

We did. Worth a stop!
