The Menu 

The menu is focused on seafood tacos, ceviches and aguachiles, with options for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. The Ceviche Bar menu will include fish, shrimp, tuna, and vegan options. 

Chicago native Jasmine Diaz leads the bar program. Back from Mexico after several years working at La Rosa Negra in Mexico City and Gitano in Tulum. 

The Space 

The exterior will be an urban take on the corner beach shack with custom painted murals and wood siding. The interior is inspired by travels along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Clean white with earth tone murals with seagrass fixtures and cedar lining and open window seating along Ohio & Wells. Playlists created by Tulum DJ’s will used. The small back parking lot will be transformed into an outdoor dining location in the coming weeks with the same menu and design aesthetic.

The Diver has 38 seats in the dining room to allow for social distancing. All plates, and cutlery are single-use and eco-friendly to avoid cross contamination. Made from fallen banana leafs, Leafware products are all-natural, compostable and biodegradable, and contain zero binders or chemicals.
