Lomo saltado
Kathleen X.

Food: - Buffalo wings: solid. Not the crispiest, but still really tasty. No complaints here. - La Llorona drink: really strong! But surprisingly sweet and you don't really taste the alcohol from the mezcal. - Lomo Saltado: the beef was some of the tenderest, tastiest meat I've had at Tulum. I highly highly Highly recommend coming here just for the privilege of trying one of their beef dishes. Seriously on another level! Service: the easiest 5 stars! The waiters were attentive to the details: they made sure to clear our table (frequently) of the (embarrassingly many) wing napkins, and refresh our utensils in between courses. Ambiance: really nice as well! A couple of girls came to sing for us live, and they first asked if the audience wanted English or Spanish, then sang pop classics from the selected language. A really fun vibe; I can see this place being a laid back, yet festive time on weekend nights!

This restaurant is a 10/10!!! I highly recommend that you make some time to visit. All of the staff is very nice and welcoming, but if you're lucky ask for Alonso! He's an amazing host/server. For me hospitality is huge, so him taking the time to get to know his clientele/customers and providing a service that's unique to them and welcomes them is so important to me. Drink of choice : Mezcalitta Hibiscus Flower The drinks are amazing, the vibe is a

Wow! This was so tasty! And the service was excellent. Eddie treated us like royalty. I recommend the passion fruit margarita, and the tacos. The vibe is really friendly, music is great & we were really happy with everything. Will be back again & again :)

This was by far the best "off " resort restaurant in downtown TULUM, Mexico. When you come you will be greeted by a exciting and experienced staff. Eddie and Alonzo were the BEST!!!! FOOD WAS Delish, ambience and music was on point. Will definitely come back and highly recommend.

Amazing experience at Onyx! From the moment my boyfriend and I walked in we felt extremely welcomed. Special attention was paid to hospitality, presentation, and anticipating needs before we could even ask. Our food was absolutely delicious and the vibes were on point. Definitely recommend!

Onyx was amazzzzzing!!! We stumbled upon it when we were looking for lunch. It has such a cute ambiance but the staff and owner were increible!!!! Our server Eduardo was so friendly and made our experience. It was my girlfriends birthday and he was soo fun and kind to us. I cannot say enough how awesome this place was. Honestly, in our 4 days in Tulum my salmon salad and fish tacos were the best food I had in all the stay and everything was so reasonably priced. If you like spicy, do not miss out on the spicy passion fruit margaritas and Eduardo!!! The owner lady was so sweet to come say hi to us.

This place is amazing!! We had the best food - everything was cooked to perfection! We had the New…read moreYork steak, the lamb rack, and the stuffed potato with chorizo. The micheladas were the best ones I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot, haha). The restaurant has a very fancy feel, even though the food/drinks were reasonably priced. The ambiance was beautiful - gorgeous paintings of jaguars everywhere and dim lighting to set the mood. The service was outstanding. Our waiters, Guillermo & Martín, made sure we were taken care of throughout the whole night. They even brought my friends and me a mini coat rack to hang our purses next to our table.

Can you say yum!? We originally had dinner reservations for another restaurant but those plans…read moreunfortunately fell through, and we were lucky enough to stumble upon this place. The food here is phenomenal. Everything was delicious. The chips, the drinks, the entrees all just delicious! We started with fresh chips and salsa, for the salsa you get about 5-6 different salsa options. The pica- de callio and the green sauce are to die for, really incredible. For my entree I ordered the lamb lollipops and omg they were heavenly. I wish they lasted forever. It came with this delicious gravy on top and a side salad. The lamb was nice and tender, my mouth is watering just thinking about them yum! Great service, great food, great atmosphere. If you're in the area it would be a mistake NOT to come here. 10/10.

Was a bit underwhelmed by this spot to be honest. The aesthetics were on point, open air concept…read morewith widely spaced tables, candles, decent music. They start you off with a complimentary piece of toast with some vegetable chunks. Each of us got a quarter of a piece of dry white bread that I would pass on in the future but the vegetables paired with it had decent flavor. I got the passion fire as my drink and very much enjoyed it. It was sweet and refreshing with just the right amount of heat. 9/10. For appetizers my group split the duck tartlet with pink mole, the sweet potato agrodolce, and the hamachi tiradito. The duck was well cooked and tender but lacking in flavor. The pink mole wasn't adding much to the dish other than creaminess. The tart shell was awful. It was thick and dry and reminiscent of a premade store bought tart shell. 5/10. The sweet potato agrodolce was good, the sweet potato and squash ribbons had a nice firm texture and snap but all of the flavor came from the yogurt sauce that they were sitting on. 7/10. The hamachi tiradito was my favorite of the apps. The fish was fresh and light, the flavors were interesting with the combination of the sweet banana vinaigrette, the salty umami ponzu, and the sweet tangy mango, chili, cucumber salsa. This dish was the best of the night, 8/10. For mains we split the catch of the day, which was red snapper, and the broken beet. The fish was underwhelming, being a bit overcooked and dry. The sauce it was drenched in helped with the dryness but didn't lend much flavor. The yuca chips were a nice addition, adding a nice crunch to contrast the soft textures of the fish and sauce but again, not lending much in flavor. Chips could have been salted. 6/10. The beets were cooked well, they were soft and tender and paired nicely with the sour cream, turmeric oil, and salad. The turmeric oil added acidity, the salad added freshness and also acidity from the dressing it had, and the sour cream added a nice creaminess and tangy. These flavors offset the richness of the beets nicely. My second favorite dish, 8/10. For dessert we went with the "corn," which was a cake shaped like a corn cob with a chopped nut center and what I think was real corn kernels across the exterior, paired with a corn ice cream. Overall a solid dessert, the chopped nuts added a nice crunch however the cake as a whole was a bit dry. The ice cream added some needed moisture and paired nicely with the cake, though the texture was a bit icy, more like a corn sorbet than a corn ice cream. 6/10. Overall a good experience but with its high prices and small portions I wouldn't go back. The apps were on average between $20-$30 usd, with mains being between $25-$50 usd, and dessert $20 usd.

This is an unusual find in Tulum (or maybe fine dining is becoming more common there these days?)…read more Top notch service. We arrived on a rainy night and they improvised a valet device for us. We were seated in a lovely indoor/outdoor room, tables spaced well apart from other diners. Our waiter explained both the drinks and the food. In fact, when I wanted to order a glass of wine, he offered to have us taste all the reds they had available (since he didn't have faith in the one I had my eye on). The food was on the fancy side and very very good. One dish didn't succeed, but the rest did. It was a lovely night and we ate well!
