Fantastic experience. Location, food, service - all of it. The exec chef here also has a great place in Chicago - Carino - which we love so we had to try this and it didn't disappoint. read more

This was by far one of the most delicious meals I've experienced in a long time. 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. read more

Food - excellent. we had a group of 5 and we all got different items. i had the chicharon - very crunchy & flavorful. but think fine dining portions. Service - excellent. staff was great. attentive. friendly. explained all of the dishes. checked in on us. Ambiance - excellent. but beware of cats & raccoon families crawling up & down the trees. they didnt bother us at all and basically ran away once they hopped off the tree. it started raining as we got there so the staff moved everyone under the covered areas. but you are basically eating outdoors. which kind of adds to the intimate IG worthy vibes. read more

Getting here (3/5): Reservations via OpenTable, easy access. The desk is located inside and not easily visible. Stairs to restrooms. No street Parking nearby, lot which is a block away is paid. Ambience (4/5): Typical tulum, easy dark ambience, soft lights. Helps put one to ease. But animals roam free, like cats or dogs so a bit unnerving if you're afraid like me. Food (4.5/5): Honestly, delicious and well concieved. Lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options. We got the blue corn triangle pastry with squash, shrimp ceviche, beet salad and chocolate. Shrimp ceviche was the epitome of creativity, with the tangy jellied layer on top which was insane. Chocolate dessert was very sweet though individual elements like hoja Santa ice cream and dulce de leche semifredo were good. Beverages tasted ok, but really mild. Feel overpriced as not enough mixology. Service (5/5): can't fault since they're on top of their game. They have a 18% tip baked into the bill. They do however confirm if that's ok. Final takeaway (4.1/5): This is the best food in tulum hotel zone from creativity, flavors, and service. read more

Most of my stars are for ambience and service. I wasn't a fan of the food. Something just seemed off for a fancy place. We kind of left feeling kind of ripped off. Would not return. read more

Michelin guide acknowledgment is great but this place deserves the recognition of an actual star - or multiple - I'd easily travel a distance to visit WILD, again. The food was exactly what you expect from a Michelin Star restaurant; unique, creative, divine. The ambience was delicate & sophisticated - maintaining the genuine energy of ancient Mayan jungle. We were partnered for the evening with a wonderful gentleman named Sebastian who was not just knowledgeable about the menu, but who was incredibly well spoken and had excellent taste & suggestions. I'll truly never forget this meal. Thank you Sebastian, the chefs, and thank you, WILD Tulum xx read more

What a great experience. We were in Tulum this past week and were staying at Nômade. We had heard a lot about Hartwood and thought we would try it. Taking taxis is such a pain in Tulum and quite frankly a rip off. We accidentally wandered into Wild for drinks one evening and decided to come back the next night for dinner. Leslie was our bartender both nights and was truly a joy of a human. She makes the best drinks and is easily a major part of our excitement. The food here is so thoughtfully made and really takes you by surprise on the unique flavors. We had the oysters which blew our minds. This was followed by the salmon and octopus which both blew us away. We ended our night with a fruity parfait (sounds simple but is so complex). I never review this much but felt I just had to say how much we loved it. I would go back to Tulum just to eat here. The staff are all so friendly and informative. They time your meal perfectly so you can enjoy the entire experience. They also have a 9 course tasting/pairing menu which i was was torn between but the Al a Carte was superb. Maybe next time. I'm sure Hartwood is fabulous, I may not ever know. Thanks for one of my top 5 dining experiences. read more

We went here for dinner yesterday. The setting was gorgeous among the jungle, but we did see a massive raccoon walk by. Overall, he was harmless but kept me on edge a bit. I ordered the focaccia and the ravioli. The focaccia was just bread and 3 butters. The "focaccia" was just toasted bread - it was nothing special. The ravioli was so overly buttery - I couldn't enjoy it. The corn gave it a nice texture, and we asked for hot sauce which helped break the buttery flavor. Overall, I was kind of disappointed. Service was as expected for Tulum - not spectacular but not terrible. read more

Totally chill vibe, nice background music, earthy feel with lots of vegetation and open air seating. Loved Bianca, our server. She helped guide us thru the menu and goodness were we ever happy! Focaccia bread with select butters and the huitlacoche ravioli was out of this world!!! Then sea bass plus I had the Cochinita pork belly. Tremendous! A nice Sauvignon Blanc to keep things light. Fruit, nuts, meringue and coconut ice cream. What a meal!! Loved every bite and every minute! read more

Great food and service, only complaints are that the menu is mostly seafood and plain meats which I'm not too attracted too plus it's a little overpriced. The only down side is that it's outside with bugs and raccoons to harass you, but that's just how Tulum is so I can't hold it against the restaurant. read more

The ambiance was absolutely incredible. We felt like we were having dinner in a fairytale, and we soaked up every moment. All of the dishes and cocktails were curated with care and precision, with such a vibrant and delicious menu. Some highlights for us were the ravioli starter and the beet starter. The ravioli is stuffed with a growth from corn that tastes like truffle and it was absolutely phenomenal. The beets were amazing too, very fresh and had a fun take. The churros that closed out our meal were delightful too, they were well balanced, and had a delicious chocolate sauce and ice cream pairing. Make sure to try a cocktail, they have a very creative and vibrant cocktail menu. Take your time here, enjoy the service and the food, and take in the beautiful surroundings! read more

How do you give a place more stars? The service is top notch and the FOOD, the food is to die for! We went with the 9 course meal and pairing. It was absolute perfection! Honestly, this meal was to die for. If you want to get something off the main menu, I would go with the ravioli or prawns. MOUTH WATERING! Let's not forget the romantic vibe of this place. It's perfect for a couple or a group. Just come and enjoy! read more

This restaurant is WILD!! The setting reminds me a little bit of Arca but the food is completely different. You can definitely feel more modern approach to the food made by chef Norman Fenton (known for his great work at Schwa in Chicago). The whole food presentation of food and drinks makes this space an awesome experience, an upscale in a jungle. We had a great server who made our visit so enjoyable and the service all together was top notch but lets talk about food :) No MAMMES! drink--if you love Mezcal this is your drink and the presentation us spectacular. You get it on the tray with burning coal and copal to infuse. Tomato Tartare---it was hard to believe that you can make such a tasty and complex tartare from tomatoes. Perfect starter, refreshing, and light. Ravioli with truffles--this dish is a must. Not only that demonstration is magical but the taste is lingering long time after eating this dish. We loved it!! Grilled octopus--we are octopus lovers and take it everytime it is available and this one was top notch. Addition of squid ink was great and tenderness of octopus itself was perfect. Campeche prawns--those are the best prawns I have eaten in TULUM, no questions asked :) Catch of the day--that was the weakest dish only because the fish was on the dry side, everything was good, the flavors were there but it would be ideal if the fish was more tender. Wild is definitely worth a reservation when visiting Tulum, there is no regrets :) read more

Loved this place!! It's far down the beach road and we went the first night were in Tulum. If it's the weekend, anticipate leaving an hour or hour and a half early! We were 30 minutes late, but they were able to accommodate us! Great service and the ambiance is so beautiful. Moody, peaceful, and serene -- this spot is wonderful for date night or to enjoy an amazing meal. We opted for the nine course meal and it was so tasty. The drinks were wonderful too! read more

As I am not interested in partying, the path of experiencing Tulum was by visiting some listed in Michelin Guide restaurants. Most of them are overpriced for general narrative of expensive destination and Wild is not exception. The question is what you get in return. Wild looks nice, the reception is warm and girl at reception genuinely tried to be helpful. Beware, this place is mosquito paradise. We have not experienced so much bites in any other Tulum location than in Wild. However, nice lady on the reception is natural born fumigator and she bunt lot of copal that spred pleasant smoke accross the restaurant. That kept misquitos away, but still mosquiotos' bites signified the evening substantially. The waiter was either slightly tired or not invested into serving (as in other places), but well, nothing to complain, just no magic. Food was as expected, nicely presented, fresh, tasting good. For any standard restaurant this would be highly praised, just no magic. However, for one of top priced places, it was missing that wow effect that elevates senses to metaphysical realm. Beats as appetizer, sibas for the main course and coconut fruit cake are all good choices, shrimps cooked in Yucatan style sauce is also quite tasteful. Sparkling water was exceptional. Nothing to complain, except it is not something to remember. Wild will charge you 'recommended' 18% tip over the full amount of check without asking. That's rude and put the place immediately to my Black List, because of that 1-point rating. The waiter who knows that he will grab you from your hard earned money without dedication to earn it, well, this is the result. Bad if this is restaurant's policy, not just a waitor's own initiative. All in all, no reason to waste time and money at Wild. It is good, but there are good choices around, as well. Nothing under thr Sun gives this place a special right to impose tips just because they exist. All in all, my warm recommendation is to avoid Wild, except if a little bit of waitor's indifference, mosquitos bites and good, but unexciting food is your thing. If you prefer to eat in selected restaurants, there are more then dozen of them in Tulum (incl. Michelin Guide listed). read more

I've been wanting to come here and finally came for dinner with a friend. They have LOCAL, ORGANIC, food!!! Amazing Yucateca style menu. I got the catch of the day and my friend got the pork belly.

I had the pleasure of experiencing wild restaurant in Tulum last night. I had an amazing time, the atmosphere and energy in this restaurant is quite amazing. The service was exceptional and the food simply exceeded expectations. I came in with a large group, the restaurant offered us a special where we were able to taste their most popular dishes family style. I highly suggest this option if you are visiting Tulum with a large group. The goal of wild is to create global food influence with local foods in Tulum. I started my experience with the fleur sauvage, a delicious cocktail made with Prosecco and St. Germain. I highly recommend for Prosecco lovers. Appetizers followed which included the beet root salad and Michoacán avocados guacamole. The main courses included the whole fresh fish of the day, the grilled octopus and the beef short rib. Everything was so beautiful and the flavors paired very well with one another. The presentation blew my mind. We finished our experience with churros with 7 spices and chili chocolate dip. I highly recommend Wild restaurant. read more

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Wild, especially because we had such a greater waiter in Augustin! Even though we started our tasting menu in pouring rain, Augustin was really accommodating and moved us to a dry area so that we could fully enjoy our meal. He also gave us bug spray and a glass of Moscato to celebrate our anniversary! Overall we thought the tasting menu was well worth it, and our favorites were the ravioli, octopus, pot belly, and the catch of the day. The desserts were also wonderful! If we ever come back to Tulum we'll be sure to pay another visit to Wild. Special thanks to Augustin for making our night a memorable one! read more

Lovely and peaceful setting. Circo Loco drink was sweet and tart and exceptionally delicious. Pisco drink was really good too. The beat dish sounded boring in the description, but was actually quite interesting and very delicious. Ravioli were OK. The octopus dish was fantastic - cooked perfectly and very generous. I just wish they had included a little more of the greens with the dish. Fish of the day was very good. I wish they had a couple more vegetable options. and more gluten-free. I really wanted to try the fried avocado, but unfortunately it has gluten. Prices were very high. read more

Wild has been our absolute favorite meal in Tulum so far. We did the 9 course tasting menu and every dish was impeccable. Service was wonderful with thorough explanations of each course. I provided the roughest of labels in my photos but you can view the menu online for further details. I can understand other reviewers complaints about slow service but ours specifically seemed great. Passionate wait staff. An absolute treat. Do forgive my iffy photos :). 10/10 would go again. read more

This is a bohemian-elegant outdoor spot a bit south of the main strip on Tulum Beach. I started with the Mustachio cocktail. It's a bourbon cocktail. I felt that while the drink had a pleasant balance of flavors, it would have been better with more bourbon. The flavor of the bourbon did not sine through. The restaurant was too dark for my phone to take good pictures. I started with the cured Sea Bass 'aguachile. The fish was excellently smooth on the bite. The combinations of flavors in this dish was excellent. As my entree ordered the short rib. I don't approve of short rib that isn't braised. The meat was good, but still had more chew and toughness than a short rib should. The meat was nevertheless cooked to a nice medium rare and had a strong, but not bitter char. read more

We hosted our wedding reception at Wild after visiting earlier in the year. I can tell you that the restaurant is to die for. Wild is the perfect name that the vibe deserves, and the food is Michelin worthy. The dishes are as beautiful as they are tasty and we remember every single bite. Don't get me started on the cocktails.. they are all creative, balanced and the presentation is gorgeous. Working with Karen and the Wild team was so seamless, making our wedding planning stress-free. Karen welcomed us with our favourite cocktails on arrival and the energy that the team gave throughout the night was everything. We are already planning to come back at our earliest possibility to relive the memories and re-taste the food. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!! read more

My friend and I decided to change our dinner plans at the last minute and ended up booking a table at Wild, which was pretty close to our hotel. The restaurant lives up to its name with tables scattered throughout lush greenery and palm trees; it was really pretty! Our server was great - super nice and attentive but not pushy. My friend and I shared a couple dishes to start: the crispy avocado and a special that night, some sort of corn ravioli. I absolutely loved the avocado - it was so fresh and tasted great with the pico. The corn ravioli were different from what I expected but had very interesting flavors. Not sure if I'd order again but was glad I got to try them. For my main, I went with the al pastor dumplings, while my friend had the prawns with chorizo. I thought both were absolutely delicious. We didn't try the cocktails or desserts, instead sticking with wine, but after reading some of the other reviews I think I'll have to check out the cocktails on my next visit. Wild was a bit more under the radar than some of the other restaurants on beach road in Tulum, but I'm so glad we got to try it! read more

Tourist trap! Waited 35 min for a drink, waited over 40 min for a small appetizer dish. Then waited another 30 minutes for main entrees, order octopus if you like eating a fishy flip flop. Servers seemed stressed and keep apologizing for the waiting. All the tables kept looking at each other thinking how much longer are we going to wait. Left hungry and angry. read more

Um.. drinks are AMAZING. We didn't get any food so I can't speak to that, but we got three delicious drinks. We got the El Mustachio, Circo Loco, and Hayaté. Best one was the Circo Loco, it had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The main liquor is Ancho Reyes which our bartender gave us to try before we ordered the drink. It's made with a Chile pepper that gives it that spicy kick at the end. Delicious. Afterwards I'd say Hayaté, my boyfriend says this one was his favorite overall. It was super refreshing with the basil and also had a kick of spicy. Finally El Mustachio which was really smokey and had a complex taste. All three drinks were very interesting and worth the $300 pesos each. They were all very unique and having them felt more like an experience. read more

This place does have beautiful ambiance and fun jungle vibes. Unfortunately the service and food is not worth the heft price tag. We got a few things to share, all of which came luke-warm to cold. The owner explained why this was and it's meant to be so based on the consistency/process of each dish. The taste was still good for each, but I wouldn't go back for any food we tried. The taco dorados were cold shells with cold sweet potato filling (probably my least favorite and unexpected)... The ravioli were ok but very small and only 6 to a dish. The prawns were ok, but again not enough food. The grilled bread accompanying the prawns was my favorite... they did charge us for extra bread. The drinks, we all had the no mames (a mezcal and grapefruit delight), are delicious! The price for splitting 3 second courses and 3 drinks ended up being around $150 which was quite expensive especially since we were all still hungry by the end. I'd recommend for a drink, but go elsewhere for dinner or maybe try some different mains. read more

So many wonderful things to say about Wild. From the staff, the food, the service, and the atmosphere! We were lucky enough to have our wedding here, the ceremony and the reception, and we are so happy we did. So many of our guests said it was one of the most unique and fun weddings they have ever been too. The jungle scenery and greenery is originally what drew our eyes to this venue. Then we tried the food and it blew our minds, every dish was perfect and unique. The staff and service was also some of the best in Tulum. The entire team went out of their way to make sure we had the best day ever. Whether you are looking for a dinner spot or looking for a wedding venue, Wild is your spot! read more

This is hands down the most underrated dining experience in Tulum. The food was EXQUISITE. Sometimes when I'm in Mexico I feel like I'm having the same flavors on repeat. But nothing on this menu did that. The fried avocado with some sauce made out of pumpkin seeds- crazy good that we ended up ordering a second one. I had 2 cocktails- some margarita that couldn't have been more perfectly prepared and presented; and their version of a French connection that had every flavor I love exploding in my mouth. Whether you like pork belly or not try the pork belly it was perfect. And OH MY GOSH there was this corn soup with a stuffed pasta in it that my words really can't do it justice. That may have been my favorite. The service was so lovely I could cry. The woman that owned the place Is just amazing- so impressive what she's created. The whole staff was such good energy. I really loved how not commercial it felt in there- I could hear my friend talk and wasn't being handed a sparkler every 2 minutes over too loud 2012 aviici being played lol. read more

Simply Amazing! I had a fantastic meal here which my server Javier made especially memorable. The restaurant is a bit further away than the 'main strip' of restaurants but well worth the trip.
