Definitely a fun vibe for vacationers and the food was very good. My true complaint is the service, I feel like if you don't have a large party or celebration, they will not seat you close to the front where the show takes place... we were sat near the back close to the bar... even with a reservation, and when asked to be seated closer, we were told those tables were "reserved for other parties" which we didn't see the other parties arrive. My best guess is a 8:30/9:00 reservation is popular because the show is in full swing at that time. Also because the restaurant is halfway outdoors, it is hot and most of the fans don't work. Overall cool experience, I'd probably visit another RosaNegra... just not the Tulum location again.
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.
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.
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.

Heard so much about this restaurant, but the main highlight is the sparklers they bring out to the table. Other than that the food is overpriced & mediocre. There are other newer restaurants now in Tulum with a more fun vibe, but I suppose this restaurant is a classic that everyone must visit if they go to Tulum. read more
This is a high energy environmemt! Food is delicious, definitely shareable plates Gives a nightclub feel, with loud music and dancing but you can still enjoy your meal. Although we had a phenomenal experience, they gave out way too many of those sparkles to hold, at times it was bothersome. And I didn't like how there were folks asking us if we wanted drugs in the bathroom hallway. read more

We heard lots of great recommendations from friends who went to RosaNegra. We were excited to see what it really was about, we were not disappointed. It was a fun dinning experience and was happy to see how the staff included every guest to participate in the lighting show. It was fun. Just wished there was a dance floor or something for they were playing great music! We were during low season we were able to get seated right away. I did call ahead for RSVP. Just know to call ahead if you're planning to dine here. The food was delicious and the drinks out of this world! Highly recommend. Like everything in Tulum, this is $$$ place. Fun part is they also sell hookah! read more

Great ambiance and decor for dinner. Service was impeccable as there were tons of people to serve and make sure you are comfortable. The place is loud for dinner as it has the ambiance of a club. The seating tables are nicely decorated for dinner seating. We were greeted with a smile upon check in. Reservations are highly recommended as this place gets crowded quickly. The food comes stand alone, you have to order sides and everything is in large portions and shareable. read more
The bottom line, if you're not into an Apple Music "top 50 techno hits" on repeat, this place is a bore. We arrived during a heavy rainstorm and was seated immediately in front of a huge fan. Contact-wearers, be aware and adjust your seat accordingly! The place looks beautiful with the dimmed lights. The music is loud (and isn't my taste or good music in general!) We spent majority of the night yelling across a table meant for three for our five-person party. Let's get into the food: "Spicy" beef empanada: 1/5 No spice, the breading is decent, but the filling tastes like canned meat. There is definitely no love in the making of this empanada. Short rib roast: 4/5 Very tasty with the salsa it comes with! Is it worth $26USD? No, but I'm happy with this meal choice. Mojito: 3/5 Decent mojito! I only got one. There are folks selling drugs by the bathroom, very openly, and the restaurant staff interacts with them. Be aware. I didn't feel unsafe at any point, but I did not feel comfortable enough to take a photo under the LED lights that they were under. 1/5 At about 10pm, they play more popular music. If this is your scene, come later in the night. read more
Its off season we were seated immediately however in a dark corner of the restaurant where the lights are non existent. We ordered a few things, Drinks: Mezcal citrus: Light liquor, big glass. 1/5 To start: Spicy lobster soup, its a spicy tom karr soup with lobster. 3/5 Corn skewers: plain corn with salt and pepper no cheese no sauce, tasteless. 1/5 Entree: Usda steak prime, undercooked and flavorless. 1/5 Bento box: As my friend and I said all the ok things on the menu for real expensive this was $100 USD but not close to being worth it at all. Edamame plain, nigiri salmon was good, white fish was alright, corn gyoza ok. Overall 1/5. Not worth the money. Service: Our server was good and helpful, turned on the flashlight for pics. The vibe is VERY touristy. I didnt enjoy it. Music was decent, very loud. BUT when the food isnt adventurous made with love, different flavors, lack of care in the presentation, it just throws everything off. We came for good food and that wasn't delivered. Extremely over priced and not worth it. If it was id gladly pay the money. Would not recommend. read more

Probably the most lively, fun night dining experience in Tulum! The live DJ music is a great set, the servers go above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying yourself and the food is above average. Highly recommend if you want a nightlife, restaurant experience while visiting Tulum. read more
If you're looking for a great celebration spot - this is it. From the excited and beyond helpful servers to the elevated traditional dishes, you very thing was incredible. The atmosphere is fun, upbeat and clubby yet still perfect for a date night (if you like fun). Recommended everyone makes a stop here while in Tulum! read more

Party ambiance ! Great for a large group celebrating an occasion. The service is on point. The food was UNMATCHED! My lambchops were soooo well cooked and the garnishes tasted amazing as well. I love the sauce !!! The mashed potatoes are to die for. Very smooth texture for both mashed potatoes AND sweet potatoes. read more

The energy was awesome. Very lively. They have hookah... $150-$180 ! USD!!! OMG, expensive ash and it is basic... The short rib tacos were good and the waiter made my drink for me that I always ask for. They have many staff that are fluent in English. They were in tune with the dj for every bottle being popped and passed out bottle sparklers to the gusts so that we could light up the night. That is before everyone started standing on chairs and singing and dancing... Not in a drunk way either. Lol... Like in a magical OMG Atlanta would never type of way. They really had some energy. read more
Manage your expectations! Tulum is wild and this place is wilder! If you're looking for a quiet dinner, this is not the place for you. First of all, it's packed EVEN in the pandemic and it's difficult to get the table you want even if you have a reservation. I was shocked to see people dancing on tables, Insta influencers everyone and flames EVERYWHERE. You'll see what I mean. The truffle rice is where it's at TRUST ME! The sushi had too much rice and then fire balls was drowning in Mayo sauce. I wouldn't recommend. RosaNegra is mostly for the vibes!! Enjoy! read more

4 Stars because there wasn't a show or not any excitement for my husbands 50th birthday. Although they gave him a piece of chocolate cake with a sparkler that fizzled out before we could even take one picture. It was nothing like the Tik Tok reviews I've seen. The food and drinks were delicious nevertheless. read more

The experience is what you pay for. The location is right off the beach club strip where you can walk from one amazingly decorated place to another! Service is top notch for the presentation and price, one of the drinks ordered was not the best seemed to lack any alcohol more so just a bunch of ice and little taste. read more

Came to RosaNegra for my partners birthday celebration and our "last night in Tulum" dinner with a group of friends and had an effing blast!!!! The atmosphere here was so lit! Our service was great, they didn't skip a beat! Didn't forget one order, brought everything we asked for within minutes! Even with all the loud music, and cheering! We danced at our table, got on top of chairs and they never said anything to us, pretty much encouraged us to keep dancing and having fun! This was definitely a night to remember! We ordered bone marrow, 77oz Tomahawk, prawns and the mushroom risotto was delicious! I wished the grilled octopus was better but it was okay.. We danced majority of the dinner lol spent a pretty penny, but totally worth the experience! A great way to close out our trip. I wished I had gotten more photos of the food. Highly recommend! 10/10! read more
A fantastic restaurant in the heart of the Zona. Excellent cocktails, cool atmosphere, great recommendations from the English speaking waiter, but San Francisco prices. The octopus appetizer was delicious and cooked perfectly, that is one of the tests of a kitchen. Also had the cheese empanadas with a fantastic sauce. Included was the most unusual but delicious puffy bread with excellent salsas. I admit I wasn't as adventurous as I should have been with the main course, surf and turf, but both were great. And two great recommendations on mezcals, Las Garrafas and Los Danzantes. I would go again. RosaNegra is part of a group of restaurants in Tulum as well as other tourist centers in Mexico. Highly recommended. read more
If you want to get seated right away come here before 6pm. I'm shock they don't have minimum price rage you have to spend per person. Got seated right away and our server is super nice. Also, he's always checking up on us. The food came out super later but it's not his fault. Risotto and ceviche is my favorite, highly recommend to try. Don't bother to try the steak and it will save you a lot of $$$. Ordered Kobe steak medium rare and we got well done. I was annoyed because I spend more than hundred dollars for it and I didn't enjoy it. Lamb chop was good but any other steak or meat don't get it, it's not worth the try. read more

Food always great! But there kind of hypocrite as they treat Mexican horrible because they choose to believe locals won't tip enough went in and asked for a table forgot to make a reservation and they asked where we were visiting from and told them we were from GDL and they still sat me down on the Japanese side of the menu (seperate restaurant) then we started speaking English and their whole attitude changed when I told them find me a better table because I was gonna buy a bottle. Mind you they were being kind of rude not to mention it wasn't even a busy time . None the less the ambiance is cool or whatever if you like to party. read more

I didn't get to try the food. This review is more so about my experience. Full disclosure my group and I showed up late for our reservation. We begged them to let us come in and have seats and they eventually did. We came for drinks and to cut the cake for my friends birthday. Cake fee - there is a fee to bring in cake which is $40 someone told us initially $20, but when we got the check it was $40. In addition to this when we tried to explain it to the Manager he said if we don't pay he would call the cops. I ordered coconut ice cream which I never received but they accidentally put it on the receipt. They fixed the receipt. Later on after going back and fourth they removed the fee and gave us free shots. Things ended up working out for the better. Overall, they acted unprofessional towards there guest at the beginning but made up for it. I recommend show up to your reservations on time, double check your receipt when you get it. Separate checks - Yes Credit cards - Yea Party vibes - Yes Fancy - Yes Drinks - Good quality read more

Food 10/10, but definitely not cheap. The grilled artichoke app and grilled octopus dinner was excellent! Music and vibe also 10/10- DJ on Saturday night was spinning all the early 2000's hits. Drinks were also adventurous and fun read more
Beautiful interior. Fun atmosphere. Great dj at night. Friendly and helpful staff. Good looking patrons. Casual to sexy attire. Food presentation is nice but poor quality and taste. Went home and an hour later was throwing up. Got food poisoning and spent 3 hours throwing up after dinner. Reading past reviews and seems like this has happened before. read more

Super fun place for a night out. They really seek to entertain, encouraging groups to stand on our chairs and handing out sparklers while playing high quality bangers. The music was 10/10. You know what else was 10/10, or dare I say, 11/10? THIS MEAT. I didn't do the ordering, but I still dream about it... the beef was that tender and flavourful. DELICIOUS. read more

Such a cute spot with great service and ambiance. Franco was our waiter and he was so awesome with attention and recommendations. He had such good energy. Mario and Ardemio were also so kind, attentive and polite. We will absolutely be back! They also surprised me for my bday with a lovely dessert and sparkler. The sparkler show is also really fun where they give everyone a sparkler. :) If you're looking for a fun spot, with good food this is it. The area is also nice to walk around after to let the fun continue. read more
