    Moot and sugar cane juice
    Dante M.

    This place was awesome and we were recommended it by the locals! We both got tacos, I got Cochinita Pebil and she got pollo, and we had sugar cane juice and a mojito. Everything here was so cool!

    Local spot with a heavy mix tourists. Life music is free with no cover. Came on a Friday evening for a drink and jazz. We only ordered drinks so didn't get to try the food. Pros: - local spot with live music - wholesome and energetic vibe with people getting up to dance and strangers conversing together (shared tables and combined seating) - service is prompt and attentive considering the sheer number of patrons Notes: - can be a bit cramped since there's no real crowd control and self-seating mostly

    They have great live music and vegan tacos. We got here at 915 and snagged one of the last table (which was with a few others already there.) The music was top notch spanish guitar and dancers who started around 930. The volume was a good level too where you could hear them well throughout the restraunt but it wasn't too loud. This was a Wednesday so it might fill up faster on the weekends. The vegan tacos were a soy mix with pineapple that added a nice little bit of acidity to the savory tacos. The sauce and onion mixed well as well. Overall a great place for a date or just a bite with great entertainment.

    Fun place to enjoy mojitos while listening to live music but the food is just average. Cash only. Decent service.

    What's not to like? No price gauging here - and the quality of drinks and snacks is excellent. Like everyone else said, go for the mojito (classic) or two!.. and take a gander at the cool art work. At nighttime you'll find live music catering to the cigarette chiefing tatted crowd. The staff is amazing and really seem to like one another and this establishment. Cheers

    Tricolor mojito : watermelon, mint and lime

    We stopped in specifically for the mojitos! They are made from fresh fruit and sugarcane and are only $100 pesos (about $5). It's a great little spot with a hand cranked press mounted to a Volkswagen Beetle for juicing the sugarcane that goes into the mojitos. We ordered the passion fruit mojito and the tri-color (watermelon, mint and lime) mojito. Both were deliciously refreshing and tasty with lots of fruit. Our server was great, we would definitely return for more mojitos.

    Literally THE BEST MOJITOS. Now my dilemma is getting this again without coming all the way to Tulum. Afraid that is not possible... we went on a weekday night and this place was packed with locals and tourists alike. Love the little show and live music they had that night. No frills, just amazing drinks and great vibes. Miss this place already!

    Loved everything about this place! Live music, great mojitos, general service. Nothing to complain about

    Great bar/restaurant in the center of tulum. Everyone working was very friendly and welcoming. Inside the bar itself they had a large space with live music playing. Nice part about the place was that the owner was there and took us into the main kitchen area to show how they hand crank sugar cane for their drinks and talked to us about the bar. Overall, this is a great spot to come grab drinks in tulum and I would def come back here next time in tulum

    Super fun spot! Stopped in for a mojito while in town. Drink was good, live music was awesome and prices were reasonable.

    Ashley D.

    Loved stopping by Batey! It was packed but we were welcomed to a table with another group and had a blast. The mojitos are great and a wonderful value. The live music is also electric! Other bars and restaurants in the area try to compete and can grab some stragglers waiting outside but it's worth sticking it out and settling in for a more authentic experience.

    Fun bar in downtown Tulum with a good vibe. They had live music in the back of the bar and always had people dancing. Drinks weren't as expensive as other spots and they seem to be known for their mojitos but also the guarapos, sugarcane drinks, and they were soo good with different flavors on the menu. I tried both the passion fruit & orange and lime & basil. They cut the sugarcane right at the bar in an old VW car. Side note: cash only!!

    Special Margarita, good but on the sweeter side
    Imam Z.

    Good drinks with reasonable price. Nice ambiance with music. The waiters are very friendly and helpful. Most of the drinks are made from sugarcane which are delicious.

But the dinner my daughter and I had was delicious. We were seated right away. Up to the roof top we go. There are 4 levels to this restaurant. Each has their own vibe. The service was top notch, always attentive to our needs. Everyone was very friendly here. This restaurant is great for large groups. They have a number of rooms that can accommodate 15 to 20 people in an intimate setting. The roof top view is cool if you are a people watcher. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.

Out front of Good Burger, it was hard to tease out which menu was for what restaurant, but I guess it didn't matter because the second floor was the bar where the night cap was made and brought upstairs. Up on the rooftop, the setting was whimsical, naturey, romantic. It was great to sit on cushiony seats under dim lighting with lots of greens hanging above and on the walls. The street view below was, well, of the street. For a weekend night, it was desolate and for awhile, we had the whole roof to ourselves (minus the two servers with nothing to do). For my one drink, I selected a mojito swoon (ginger, lime). It was pretty much a very refreshing lemonade with only a slight hint of alcohol - but that's the theme in most cocktails I had in Tulum. Our poor waitress came by several times to check in on us out of boredom, which was nice, but also weird at the same time given it was clear the place was dead, so it seemed like she was coming to our table too often.

The space was gorgeous... like rustic, jungle chic. It seemed a little out of place on the main strip (it looked very different than most of the other places), but that's what drew us in. They had a menu of inventive cocktails that featured local ingredients (guanabana, mango, coconut milk) and lots of different types of mezcal. The drinks were delicious and the music and atmosphere was awesome. It felt like a Brooklyn bar transplanted into Mexico (sorry if I sound like a snobby New Yorker :-)). There were only 2 other people in the bar, the bartender, Ulysses, and the owner (I think), Jonathan. They were 2 super friendly young guys. They gave us a brief history of Mezcal and told us all about the different local ingredients they used. I think this place only opened a few months ago. It seemed like business may be a bit slow, but we drove by late at night a few days later and it was pretty crowded. The crowd was all tourists, European expats, etc... no locals... I didn't even see any locals working there. I loved the bar, but I love supporting locals, so I feel a little odd giving such a colonized place 5 stars, so solid 4 stars from me. If you're looking for a cool a cool bar to have a tasty cocktail, definitely check it out.

    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.

There's someone doing face jewels as soon as you walk in, not sure how much it was but it looked super pretty. There's a system to get drinks where you reload your wristband with money and they scan it every time you order a drink to deduct each transaction. The only bad thing is that whatever you have left on the bracelet goes to waste because you can't get your money back. Each drink was kinda pricey, between $30-$40. I would suggest pre-gaming before coming or buying a table. The music was good, it was a lot of tiki tiki. There is a beach view from the dance floor. Everyone was very nice, the staff were extremely busy but attended each customer in a timely manner. I ordered an espresso martini, the presentation was great but the taste wasn't as balanced as I preferred. It taste more like tequila rather than coffee. I then switched back to vodka/sodas.
