Most venders here speak some level of english so its not too hard to communicate what you want. They have a variety of venders selling all sorts of food, but like the states, things are a little more pricy than if you were to go to the heart of Tulum. One thing I love about this place is that their general bar area has some great deals on drinks! I got a couple of beers, with chamoy and everything was roughly ~$3 (USD). Like I said before, its easy to get drunk here on a budget. Wife and I had a great time as one of our first stops. However, be aware of ALL the mosquitos!

This was by far one of the most delicious meals I've experienced in a long time…read more This restaurant was directly across from our resort and we decided to try it for our last meal in Tulum and we definitely saved the best for last. We did make a reservation, although the space was surprisingly empty at 7pm. We do know we came as the season is winding down, but for how good this food is, this place should always be packed. Our waitress was delightful - attentive, helped to explain every dish and the dishes all came out quickly but nothing felt rushed. The vibe is very jungle chic with open air seating, slightly covered by large leaf structures. Lots of candles and mood lighting. The menu offered quite the diverse selection of food options with a focus on traditional but elevated Mexican flavors. We started with some signature cocktails - my husband the mustachio whiskey drink and I had the wildfire. Both were perfectly mixed with great flavors. I will note the wildfire was more tart than spiced and did come with a fun flame element (sadly no pic). Also of note, the passionfruit that is used in this drink is a local fruit that is far more tart than other passionfruit you may have experienced. If you like a tart refreshing drink, this is your pick. We shared many dishes - the first was the pork rind with street corn dip. WOW. The pork rind seasoning was absolutely delicious and the serving size of street corn was epic. So rich, so delicious. We also shared the fried avocado - truly, the local avocados are heaven sent and the pumpkin seed purée was perfectly developed and spiced. Next up, larger dishes included the corn ravioli - this was so rich, and swimming in delicious truffle flavor. The raviolis were huge and there were 6 of them. The foam and nest elements while very pretty were also equally delicious. Not something that I often say when it comes to foam on plates. Finally, we had the shrimp main - I cannot put into words how amazing this dish was. The sauce was spicy, garlicky, and clearly developed over many hours. You could taste the time put into this. The shrimp were so tender the heads and tails just fell off. It comes with a side of bread and you will want to soak up every drop of this sauce with the toasted bread. If you are looking for elevated local flavors that have been carefully and meticulously curated then you must have a meal at WILD.

It's a covered, open-air restaurant right on the beach with breezy seating and great ocean views. The food is consistently good to great, and the drinks are well made.

Highlights include excellent tableside guacamole with garlic oil, fresh ceviche, fruit and veggie smoothies, and plenty of kid-friendly options, even if they're not clearly labeled. Service was friendly and apologetic the few times a dish came out late. Overall, it's a convenient, relaxed beachside spot with solid food and a beautiful setting.

Sure enough, we just walked right in and got a seat right by the beach. The prices here are inflated but expected given its location. I tried a salad and their berry smoothie. The salad was surprisingly good but the smoothie was very watered down. I would not get it again. Also there is free parking which is SO hard to find in this area. This alone is why I would recommend this beach club to anyone visiting Tulum, but not staying in the hotel zone. Green salad 9/10 Berry smoothie 6/10

Make sure to make a reservation in advance, especially for Thursday through the weekend. We visited at 8:30 and we felt like it was the perfect time because a lot of the performances began around nine. The service is top-notch. From putting the napkin in your lap to arranging a miniature coat rack to hang your jacket, they pay attention to detail. Not to mention, though the atmosphere takes priority here, the food was also very good. We ordered a steak and the shrimp risotto. The shrimp were colossal. I have never seen shrimp so big. Most of their specialty cocktails are quite acidic and that night I was craving whiskey so I ordered an old-fashioned and it was also very good. I would say this spot in particular is well known for big groups and bachelorette dinners. It is quite loud, so keep that in mind. It's also in line with other nice restaurants in Tulum regarding price, but we felt it was worth it. Lastly, make a note that they charge for water so you're not surprised when you get the bill.
