Outside the restaurant
Richard C.

After settling in I decided to take a leisurely walk from my hotel to see all the neighborhood eats... many choices from local street vendors to can I say pizzerias & an Asian dumplings spot?!!?? Plenty of options I really wanted tacos (when in Rome) but then I came across this place wit outdoor dining and a huge open flame grill/kitchen the juicy aroma of meat caught my attention so I decided to checkout their house special... best 23BUX I ever spent on a full meal!! It came with torta chips & variety of sauces, my steak came out perfect "medi-red" with a bunch sides like guacamole & plantains I was stuffed.... My server was exceptionally he spoke perfect English even asked for my name & coincidentally his was Ricardo -20% TIP!!

We loved this place during our trip that we went back a second time. Our first visit there was definitely 5 stars. Our outdoor seating experience was lovely! Great service, delicious drinks and unlimited chips with an array of sauces. However our sit down indoor experience was drastically different with service. We had a bigger group and came around dinner. It took nearly 15 mins for someone to approach us to even order drinks and the time lapse between the ordering kept getting longer. We needed to keep waving the waiter down or even get up to get their attention since we are placed in the back corner of the restaurant. We were disappointed with the indoor service we received but would still absolutely recommend this place for the quality of food and ambiance.

Came here for my last night of vacation and couldn't have made a better choice. Everything I ate was incredible, the staff was very welcoming and friendly and the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. My server was Angel, he was so great and put in a lot of effort to make sure I had a good experience. My Spanish is not good at all but he was very understanding and helped me with the menu with no judgement. I appreciate him so much and everyone else on the staff that made my experience so great.

Amazing! If you're in Tulum, this is a must-visit. The food is tender and fresh, and the service is incredibly friendly. The ambiance is peacefully quiet, enhanced by a live band playing outside. Highly recommend!

El lugar está muy bonito y un ambiente agradable, te puedes sentar afuera por la banqueta o adentro. La carne está cocida a la perfección y las porciones son abundantes. El servicio es excelente

.I have been literally to almost every highly recommended restaurant here and I can say that El Asador is probably the best value for a higher-end restaurant in Tulum. If you in the mood for a nice steak this is your place. They serve larger cuts like cowboy and tomahawk as well as your standard collection of cuts like ribeye and NY strip. I had the ribeye and it was perfectly charred and decently cooked. Not a irrefutable medium-rare, but close. The flavour and seasoning were spit on. My wife had the flank steak platter which was also excellent. The staff were excellent. They were highly attentive and efficient. They are all clearly well trained and took it seriously. Overall, I recommend El Asador as a go to spot for a nice steak dinner when you're in Tulum.

I came here with a group of 16. I got a steak fajita that was just okay. The rating would be higher if I absolutely loved that dish but I didn't. The bone marrow dish was tasty. The cheese and shrimp and steak that was in the bowl was delicious I recommend. I had some of my friends dishes and the flank steak and cowboy steak was delicious. Indoor setting was beautiful. Staff was friendly and thoughtful. We came celebrating 4 people for their birthday and the staff surprised us with the cheesecake. It was good.

Great food and great price! We were looking for a fish dish and they master it. Even they don't have drinks for the hurricane alert we got great service! Check out this place if you are in Tulum.

I attended this restaurant with a large party of 20 people on a Sunday night in Tulum, Mexico. Reece and Martin were awesome and accommodated our party and navigated the language barrier. They answered all of our questions and getting our drinks and food was done in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant is kinda small but the inside is warm and has dim lighting. Their menu had variety and they seem to specialize in steaks. From flank steak, to Cowboy ribeyes and Tomahawks , the menu doesn't lack variety in cuts of meat. I ordered the Arrachera special. I read reviews on Yelp and google, that this is their specialty. I enjoy flank stank so I was game to try this. I was disappointed in the sides and feel like the dish was missing something overall but the food had flavor. The margaritas were amazing and made well! I had to get two! Prices are very reasonable.

The tree chile sauce in this place is to die for. The food and drinks are all amazing, including the vegan options. Can't wait to go back.

The food good, although it could've been great if the chef would've used more seasoning in the meat ( maybe dry brine it ) before cooking it...? just a thought, same with the sides ( vegetables, baked potato, peppers etc) other than that, very good ambience ( music not too loud) Max ( The dog) the comes every night patiently waits for you to give him whatever you don't finish ( steak ) Español: Nuestra visita fue muy agradable. Buen ambiente, El camarero ( Mesero) Abelardo fue muy amable, tomamos un par de copas de vino tinto, ¡y estaban excelentes! La comida estuvo buena, aunque podría haber sido mejor si el chef hubiera sazonado mejor la carne (quizás la hubiera puesto en salmuera seca) antes de cocinarla... Solo una idea, lo mismo con las guarniciones (verduras, papas al horno, pimientos, etc.). Por lo demás, muy buen ambiente (música no muy alta). P.S. Hay un Perrito ( Max ) que llega al restaurante y espera que termines y lo que no termines de comer ( carne ) el lo recibe agradecido!!

1-Star Review for BAK Tulum…read more We were very disappointed with our experience at BAK Tulum, especially since it was meant to be a special anniversary dinner. I clearly mentioned to the staff that I am pregnant and asked for my steak to be well done. When our steaks arrived, mine was rare inside. I immediately brought it to their attention, and they took it back. My husband waited to eat with me, and after about 10 minutes, they returned my steak -- yes, it was cooked through, but they had simply thrown it back on the grill, leaving the entire crust black and burned. A proper well-done steak should be baked or finished carefully, not charred. I had to cut around the burnt parts and could only eat the inside, leaving my plate full of burnt steak pieces. We also ordered banana cream and churro waffles for dessert -- both were disappointing, we barely had two bites each. They brought us two complimentary champagnes, which was thoughtful -- but again, I had already told them I was pregnant. They didn't bother to offer me a non-alcoholic alternative, so I couldn't enjoy anything. When the bill arrived, the manager had said the desserts would be complimentary, but they were still charged on the bill, along with the champagne we never ordered. After pointing this out, the waiter said he made the changes but questioned who told me that, claiming I "heard wrong." Only after insisting did he remove the desserts from the check. We paid $700 USD for a $626.16 bill, expecting the change in pesos as agreed. Based on the daily exchange rate (18.46), the change should have been 1,363.50 pesos, but we were given 1,240 pesos, short 123.5 pesos. When questioned, the waiter said, "our restaurant's rate is 17," which still didn't add up and left us short again. Throughout the entire experience, no one apologized -- not for the burnt steak, not for the billing confusion, and not for the dishonest handling of the exchange rate. In person, I gave them the chance to make things right, but they chose not to. That's why I'm writing this review -- not to complain, but to warn others. The music and fireworks were great, but the food, service, and honesty were deeply disappointing. Unfortunately, this experience ruined our anniversary night.
