    Food portions were OK. Definitely on the gourmet side, but the burger was quite filling! It's not too noticeable on my photo, but the hamburger has a mini burger on top of it. Food is ok but quite pricey, so I'd recommend going there for light bites and sharing if in a big group. The bill will add up, otherwise. Our server was good, however, unlike other restaurants and bars we encountered in Tulum, this place was not very friendly or inviting to celebrations. Our waiter, nor any other service staff at the restaurant offered any sort of celebratory sparkler, even after consuming over $400 in food and drinks.

    At Rosa Negra Tulum, the sparklers are basically the signal the night just leveled up.

    This was a full-on experience night and easily one of the highlights of the trip. From the moment we walked in, the place had energy, music, lights, and a crowd clearly there to celebrate something. It never felt stiff or overly formal, just lively and fun the entire evening. The food was excellent across the board, but the standout was the tomahawk steak presentation. When it arrived, sparklers, drums, and all eyes on the table, it honestly felt like some kind of ceremonial animal sacrifice in the most entertaining way possible. Over the top? Absolutely. Memorable? Even more so. Great atmosphere, great service, and legitimately great food to back it up. We laughed, ate way too much, and left buzzing from the whole experience. A true 5-star night in Tulum.

    We had been to RosaNegra in Mexico City and decided to continue the tradition by going to the Tulum one. The Tulum one is wayyy larger than the Mexico City one and the vibe was very energetic. The servers were super sweet and ensured we were comfortable despite the loud crowd. They were enjoying themselves too which I totally loved. We ordered a bunch of cocktails and some fried tofu, grilled asparagus and some Japanese rice for apps. The food took a while and wasn't impressive, except for the Japanese rice but I wouldn't hold it against them as this restaurant is more of a party place. The music that day was insane and they were playing both old classic and new house music tracks. The price is on the steeper side so be careful about what you are ordering.

    We had a fun dinner here one night with some friends and enjoyed the dark mysterious atmosphere, the great food, and excellent service. Our server Raul was very helpful in ordering gluten-free options for me. We enjoyed the artful presentation of the cocktails and the tacos were fabulous. It's a pricey tourist area so just be prepared for American prices but definitely better service and great food.

    Go here if you want the Tulum party experience. The staff has some tracks and tricks to ensure they include every table in and there are groups celebrating bachelorettes and weddings so it gets really lit (especially with the lit fire sticks they pass). Again we were only here to try a dessert and the experience, so we got the chocolate sphere, which should come with a disclaimer that it serves 4-5 people. And it comes with a whole show, lights drama et al. Even their restrooms have a vibe with stone sinks and the works. They don't push tips.

    One of the app's, do t recall the name.

    Wow!!! I'd never been to Tulum and the Strip makes your head Spin! It is filled with Extraordinary, Elegant, Fine Cuisine & Luxury shopping. This place was nothing short of that! And Festive to boot! The had a show with music handed us sparklers & people danced about and stop tables. The food was Great service for the price could've been better that's the ONLY reason for 4 stars; and quite frankly it was more like 4 1/2 stars. The best thing about this place was my Espresso Martini it was presently second to none & we have stayed at 5 stars hotels all over the world. Very very impressive!

    The vibe inside this restaurant is great, but the food was just okay. My friend ordered the fish tacos. These were some of the worst tacos I've tried - super dry and salty and the salsa lacked flavor. I had the salmon which was tasty, but nothing exceptional. I asked for the salmon cooked medium and it came out to the temperature I requested. I wish there was actually a little more salt on this dish. The burrata was good. The server was attentive and friendly! If you are dining in Tulum, most restaurants do not have windows to enclose the building. RoseNegra was the same, so it was fairly hot while we were eating. If I came back to Tulum, I wouldn't come back here.

    I had a fantastic time at this restaurant. One of the main reasons I selected it for our bachelorette party dinner is because I saw that they had great vegan options. I knew nothing else. We walked in and immediately we were hit in the face by the mood that is RosaNegra. There were sparklers at every table, pretty much every person. That lifted the spirits somewhat. We were seated literally spank in front of the stage. I could probably feel them breathe if I was paying attention. The bride was swept away by a random man who started dancing salsa with her. Did he work there? We will never know. The menu has a bunch of shit, but not nearly as much vegan stuff as I was expecting. Pretty minimal, actually. Or maybe it was just that it was all mushrooms? I don't recall but I couldn't, as a mushroom-disliker, partake. I ended up ordering the guac, humita empanada, and esquite tostadas. The rest of the table ordered a smorgasbord of other things including the mashed potatoes (delicious) and elote (delicious). For my drink, I ordered something with tequila or mezcal, perhaps the bacan and it arrived with a fucking SKULL in the glass. It was SO COOL. The other people who got a drink received these neon colored beverages that tasted amazing. This place has a lot of highs and lows, the highs would make a 5, the lows a 3 so that's why I have settled on a 4. Highs: -the food was FANTASTIC, the esquite tostadas where incredible. I was too full for the guac -the drinks, as above, were really unique and campy -the whole vibe is something else. I felt like I was dining in a night club. EDM music, tons of sparklers, it was a really crazy experience. Walking home from this restaurant made me realize that many restaurants on that street are like this Lows: -I never received the empanada but was charged for it -the waiter was inappropriate. He literally yelled at the person who was paying for not giving enough of a tip. She tipped him! But he wasn't satisfied with the amount and literally asked her, and expected an answer, for a higher tip. It was really awkward and uncomfortable I did read online (after coming home thank god) that someone witnessed a shooting outside rosa negra. Not at all rosa negra's fault whatsoever but more a testament to the fact that Tulum seems like it is much more dangerous than is widely known and if you are planning a trip, maybe you should reconsider. If you are already here, well, this is certainly an option for dinner!

    Ambiance: super cute restaurant but we got sat by the dj booth in a corner. awkward location. But i loved that they give everyone a sparkler during dinner with people dancing. Loved it & it looked cool! Service: service was decent - wasn't super fast but we felt attended Food: The beef empanada was good! I also loved their spicy salsa that was given complimentary. I got fish tacos and it was also good! The fish itself needed a bit more seasoning. This place is on the pricey side. For 1 cocktail, bottled water, fish tacos, fries, and tip came out to $90. Im from Vegas and was shocked at how pricey it was.

    While I fully expected this place to be pricey and vibe focused, charging 400 pesos ($20) per water refill is absolutely atrocious without any heads up considering we didn't order or knowingly receive bottled water. The cocktails were weak and food ok (my fish of the day was well portioned but over cooked). Party vibes were good, and they did try to make each group feel celebrated, but the lack of transparency leading to a surprise bill was unsettling.

The cocktail I ordered was the Naked in Tulum which was mezcal based and tasted good, so much so that I ordered another one.

For dessert we ordered the Marquesita which was not too sweet and a great finish to our meal. I can see why this place was on the Michelin guide. But be prepared to pay a pretty penny for your meal. Shout out to our server Melissa for being attentive, friendly, and giving us recs.

My friend and I split the Simple Fish Ceviche (peanuts, chia seeds, serrano peppers, red onions, etc.) and that was so fresh and flavorful! He got the tuna dish which was also great, but my black rice with octopus, calamari, and plantains was seriously A+. The black rice must have been made with squid ink or something but the total combination was a seriously savory seafood dish that was extremely filling and not like anything I've ever had before. I highly recommend getting this dish, but, be warned, it is EXTREMELY filling! After the ceviche and a passionfruit mojito (also delicious), I only had room for half of my entree. Another upside is that many of the staff can speak English. The only downside we had was a weird moment with the check. The receipt said "tip" in Spanish but then had a bolded "No tip included" at the bottom. We also tried paying with card because we didn't have any cash, and the first time around our waiter said the internet was down and he couldn't run the card through. We asked him to try again and it went through that second time. Also, this is a much pricier restaurant than other places in Tulum/Mexico with dishes mostly in the $20 range. Aside from that, I really recommend going to this place for the delicious food!

    Pricing here is like at Tenadie's infamous place in Les Mis: "charge 'em for the lice, extra for…read morethe mice, 2% for looking in the mirror twice!" The food is already overpriced, even by Tulum tourist standards. Then adding the posted exchange rate, the cost unexpectedly increases 15%. And they charge an additional 5% for using a credit card. AND there is an automatic gratuity of 15% for any size party, which is insult added on injury for the painfully slow service. If you want outstanding Tulum seafood try EL CAMELLO JR on highway 307. That's where local fishermen sell their FRESH catch DAILY. El Camello is easy to find or reach by taxi, it gets a higher Yelp rating, and the service and prices are honest and friendly. Be aware that El Camello only accepts cash, a testament to its local authenticity and popularity. El Camello was recommended by our concierge when we asked for a seafood recommendation, and it was well worth the 10 min drive. You'll wait a lot longer than that for your food to be served at Simple. If you'd rather eat on the Tulum strip, then just a few yards down the road try Alma Tulum which has equally good food (including grilled seafood), an ocean view, great ambiance, and genuinely warm Mexican hospitality without abusive pricing for unsuspecting tourists.

We were able to come early at 6pm, only half an hour after they open, and by the time we left an hour later, to say they were full is an understatement. If you like to start the evening calm, as I do, I'd highly suggest coming early and then wandering the street. This also gives you a little time to talk to your wait staff. The server we had (I apologize, I have forgotten his name but I'll ask my husband and add it later) guided us through the menu and had excellent knowledge of each item. And, like everyone we've encountered here, was so gracious with his time and presence. I never feel rushed here as I do in some other tourist focused places. Gratuity is included, yet I'd say adding some is most deserved.
