    Tzatziki and focaccia

    The food was absolutely delicious. The standout for us was the tzatziki. The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown, though when you're inside it feels like you're in a serene garden.

    Cappuccino

    I wish I could give more stars! I highly, highly recommend this restaurant! Susan our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and attentive! 10/10 for service. 12/10 for food!!! Quality was impeccable. To start we had pita and tzatziki, beet salad, pumpkin tortellini and artichokes. INCREDIBLE. We paired that with the recommended white wine. Entrees consisted of lamb chops, moussaka and short ribs! INCREDIBLE. We ended with passion fruit cheese cake and cappuccinos! INCREDIBLE! best Mediterranean I've had since visiting Greece this summer. Ambiance is sexy as well, beautiful decor and tons of natural light. I can't wait to go back!!!!

    My husband and I came here as a date night while on a family vacation and it was AMAZING. We were told multiple times it is the best restaurant on the island and I think I can agree. The food was amazing as was the service. We got the hummus, chicken and olives, and Short Ribs. If we get to go back to Isla Mujeres we will definitely be back to Olivia's.

    Seating, under the palapa or outdoors!

    Where to start?! I came here 10 years ago and this was the ONE place I wanted to take my mom & two best friends. So freaking good and so many veggie options for my vegetarian friend! Server was fast and friendly, food was delicious and fast - after being disappointed the night before this was refreshing - if you are on Isla Mujeres - you MUST GO!!! Cash Only. Only chardonnay by the glass or you had to buy the bottle for other types of white / red wine.

    Spanakopita and Shishlik

    My husband and I loved the food here. The green salad was comparable to our experience in Greece. I had the Spanakopita and it was so good! Also loved the atmosphere, dim lit and romantic.

    Yummy pita !

    This is definitely one of the BEST restaurants on the island. The service was great they sat us down promptly in the quaint garden. It is dimly lit with lights and full of plants and grass palapas. The food here is amazing !! If you want meat definitely come here ! The short rib and chicken and olives are the best items on the the menu but, you definitely cannot go wrong with what you order. You definitely need to pay a visit to Olivia's on your visit to Isla Mujeres!!

    falafel bowl

    The falafel bowl was great. I loved the service here and how quick the food came out. The seating area was lovely. I definitely recommend this place.

    Great non Mexican food. Reservations are required. Short ribs are long on flavor. Ask for outside.

    Taboo Tulum - Seafood Spaghetti

    Wow, what an experience! Taboo is a destination for dinner, a party, the beach, they have it all…read more We came for a large dinner party to celebrate a 40th birthday. The service was excellent- they were very enthusiastic and entertaining, bringing out countless celebratory shots and sparklers. Speaking of entertainment, there were fire dancers and a flutist and they insisted that we stand on our chairs to dance! I've never been to a restaurant like this before but I loved every minute. We were so distracted by the entertainment that we didn't realize how long it took for the food to arrive. The wait time was understandable due to our party size. I had the seafood spaghetti, which was just ok. I was expecting the sauce to be lighter and but it was a bit thick. It was well seasoned, maybe just a little too much salt. I still enjoyed it. The serving sizes were huge for most of the dishes and defining sharable but everyone had their own entree. I'd highly recommend this place for date night or a celebratory dinner. I'd love to come back and check out the beach club.

    Great service, fun spot for a day club in Tulum. Was pretty tame on Sunday, as they get ready for a…read morebig week for NYE and incoming concerts. But we enjoyed the food and the service was awesome. The beach and ambiance was also great. Expensive but if you can afford it - worth the money. Come with friends and be ready to spend the day and party
