Definitely a fun vibe for vacationers and the food was very good. My true complaint is the service, I feel like if you don't have a large party or celebration, they will not seat you close to the front where the show takes place... we were sat near the back close to the bar... even with a reservation, and when asked to be seated closer, we were told those tables were "reserved for other parties" which we didn't see the other parties arrive. My best guess is a 8:30/9:00 reservation is popular because the show is in full swing at that time. Also because the restaurant is halfway outdoors, it is hot and most of the fans don't work. Overall cool experience, I'd probably visit another RosaNegra... just not the Tulum location again.
Food portions were OK. Definitely on the gourmet side, but the burger was quite filling! It's not too noticeable on my photo, but the hamburger has a mini burger on top of it. Food is ok but quite pricey, so I'd recommend going there for light bites and sharing if in a big group. The bill will add up, otherwise. Our server was good, however, unlike other restaurants and bars we encountered in Tulum, this place was not very friendly or inviting to celebrations. Our waiter, nor any other service staff at the restaurant offered any sort of celebratory sparkler, even after consuming over $400 in food and drinks.
This was a full-on experience night and easily one of the highlights of the trip. From the moment we walked in, the place had energy, music, lights, and a crowd clearly there to celebrate something. It never felt stiff or overly formal, just lively and fun the entire evening. The food was excellent across the board, but the standout was the tomahawk steak presentation. When it arrived, sparklers, drums, and all eyes on the table, it honestly felt like some kind of ceremonial animal sacrifice in the most entertaining way possible. Over the top? Absolutely. Memorable? Even more so. Great atmosphere, great service, and legitimately great food to back it up. We laughed, ate way too much, and left buzzing from the whole experience. A true 5-star night in Tulum.
We had been to RosaNegra in Mexico City and decided to continue the tradition by going to the Tulum one. The Tulum one is wayyy larger than the Mexico City one and the vibe was very energetic. The servers were super sweet and ensured we were comfortable despite the loud crowd. They were enjoying themselves too which I totally loved. We ordered a bunch of cocktails and some fried tofu, grilled asparagus and some Japanese rice for apps. The food took a while and wasn't impressive, except for the Japanese rice but I wouldn't hold it against them as this restaurant is more of a party place. The music that day was insane and they were playing both old classic and new house music tracks. The price is on the steeper side so be careful about what you are ordering.
We had a fun dinner here one night with some friends and enjoyed the dark mysterious atmosphere, the great food, and excellent service. Our server Raul was very helpful in ordering gluten-free options for me. We enjoyed the artful presentation of the cocktails and the tacos were fabulous. It's a pricey tourist area so just be prepared for American prices but definitely better service and great food.
Go here if you want the Tulum party experience. The staff has some tracks and tricks to ensure they include every table in and there are groups celebrating bachelorettes and weddings so it gets really lit (especially with the lit fire sticks they pass). Again we were only here to try a dessert and the experience, so we got the chocolate sphere, which should come with a disclaimer that it serves 4-5 people. And it comes with a whole show, lights drama et al. Even their restrooms have a vibe with stone sinks and the works. They don't push tips.
Wow!!! I'd never been to Tulum and the Strip makes your head Spin! It is filled with Extraordinary, Elegant, Fine Cuisine & Luxury shopping. This place was nothing short of that! And Festive to boot! The had a show with music handed us sparklers & people danced about and stop tables. The food was Great service for the price could've been better that's the ONLY reason for 4 stars; and quite frankly it was more like 4 1/2 stars. The best thing about this place was my Espresso Martini it was presently second to none & we have stayed at 5 stars hotels all over the world. Very very impressive!
The vibe inside this restaurant is great, but the food was just okay. My friend ordered the fish tacos. These were some of the worst tacos I've tried - super dry and salty and the salsa lacked flavor. I had the salmon which was tasty, but nothing exceptional. I asked for the salmon cooked medium and it came out to the temperature I requested. I wish there was actually a little more salt on this dish. The burrata was good. The server was attentive and friendly! If you are dining in Tulum, most restaurants do not have windows to enclose the building. RoseNegra was the same, so it was fairly hot while we were eating. If I came back to Tulum, I wouldn't come back here.
I had a fantastic time at this restaurant. One of the main reasons I selected it for our bachelorette party dinner is because I saw that they had great vegan options. I knew nothing else. We walked in and immediately we were hit in the face by the mood that is RosaNegra. There were sparklers at every table, pretty much every person. That lifted the spirits somewhat. We were seated literally spank in front of the stage. I could probably feel them breathe if I was paying attention. The bride was swept away by a random man who started dancing salsa with her. Did he work there? We will never know. The menu has a bunch of shit, but not nearly as much vegan stuff as I was expecting. Pretty minimal, actually. Or maybe it was just that it was all mushrooms? I don't recall but I couldn't, as a mushroom-disliker, partake. I ended up ordering the guac, humita empanada, and esquite tostadas. The rest of the table ordered a smorgasbord of other things including the mashed potatoes (delicious) and elote (delicious). For my drink, I ordered something with tequila or mezcal, perhaps the bacan and it arrived with a fucking SKULL in the glass. It was SO COOL. The other people who got a drink received these neon colored beverages that tasted amazing. This place has a lot of highs and lows, the highs would make a 5, the lows a 3 so that's why I have settled on a 4. Highs: -the food was FANTASTIC, the esquite tostadas where incredible. I was too full for the guac -the drinks, as above, were really unique and campy -the whole vibe is something else. I felt like I was dining in a night club. EDM music, tons of sparklers, it was a really crazy experience. Walking home from this restaurant made me realize that many restaurants on that street are like this Lows: -I never received the empanada but was charged for it -the waiter was inappropriate. He literally yelled at the person who was paying for not giving enough of a tip. She tipped him! But he wasn't satisfied with the amount and literally asked her, and expected an answer, for a higher tip. It was really awkward and uncomfortable I did read online (after coming home thank god) that someone witnessed a shooting outside rosa negra. Not at all rosa negra's fault whatsoever but more a testament to the fact that Tulum seems like it is much more dangerous than is widely known and if you are planning a trip, maybe you should reconsider. If you are already here, well, this is certainly an option for dinner!
Ambiance: super cute restaurant but we got sat by the dj booth in a corner. awkward location. But i loved that they give everyone a sparkler during dinner with people dancing. Loved it & it looked cool! Service: service was decent - wasn't super fast but we felt attended Food: The beef empanada was good! I also loved their spicy salsa that was given complimentary. I got fish tacos and it was also good! The fish itself needed a bit more seasoning. This place is on the pricey side. For 1 cocktail, bottled water, fish tacos, fries, and tip came out to $90. Im from Vegas and was shocked at how pricey it was.
While I fully expected this place to be pricey and vibe focused, charging 400 pesos ($20) per water refill is absolutely atrocious without any heads up considering we didn't order or knowingly receive bottled water. The cocktails were weak and food ok (my fish of the day was well portioned but over cooked). Party vibes were good, and they did try to make each group feel celebrated, but the lack of transparency leading to a surprise bill was unsettling.

We had a pretty disappointing experience overall. We asked for beer, but none of the options on the menu were actually available. We also tried to order fish tacos, which weren't available either. I did order a drink that was both cute and delicious, so that was definitely a highlight (snaps for that). Unfortunately, my burger came out very undercooked, and I wasn't asked how I wanted it prepared. I ended up paying $40 for something I couldn't eat, which was frustrating. I really wish there had been better communication about what was available and a bit more attention to how food was prepared. read more
If you're looking for a party vibe while having dinner, this is the spot. From passing out sparklers to everyone to the fire dancers it was all very entertaining. Make sure to make a reservation in advance, especially for Thursday through the weekend. We visited at 8:30 and we felt like it was the perfect time because a lot of the performances began around nine. The service is top-notch. From putting the napkin in your lap to arranging a miniature coat rack to hang your jacket, they pay attention to detail. Not to mention, though the atmosphere takes priority here, the food was also very good. We ordered a steak and the shrimp risotto. The shrimp were colossal. I have never seen shrimp so big. Most of their specialty cocktails are quite acidic and that night I was craving whiskey so I ordered an old-fashioned and it was also very good. I would say this spot in particular is well known for big groups and bachelorette dinners. It is quite loud, so keep that in mind. It's also in line with other nice restaurants in Tulum regarding price, but we felt it was worth it. Lastly, make a note that they charge for water so you're not surprised when you get the bill. read more

ORDERED - "Japanese Wagyu" - Spicy Octopus - Short Rib Pot - Ora King Salmon - Ceviche Sampler - Giant Churro - Smoky Moon - Margarita Ahumada - Moët Nectar Imperial STAFF We had great service - they do hospitality really really well here. Didn't get the bottle of champagne we wanted, but the sommelier came out and recommended something similar and we quite enjoyed it. With the bottle came out the "party starters" with sparklers for everyone and they pretty much hype the table up. SEATING & AMBIANCE There's SO many tables which are usually all booked out. Would recommend making reservations ahead of time. This is NOT somewhere to come for an intimate dinner. It's more like a club/lounge. PARKING No parking which is the case for many restaurants along this strip. Recommended to take a taxi to/from here. FOOD/DRINK We really enjoyed the WAGYU PICANA, SHORT RIB POT & CEVICHE SAMPLER the most. I would skip on the Ora King Salmon as the portion size was small and the salmon itself was slightly overcooked. If you don't mind ground bits in your drinks, the SMOKY MOON was really tasty and sweet (ground up bits were goji berries). Finish off with the GIANT CHURRO for dessert -- this is to be shared because its huge! read more

Absolutely amazing experience for my best friends bachelorette in Tulum! Such a great vibe inside with lots of sparklers and music. The food totally exceeded my expectations, it was delicious and everyone's favorite meal of the weekend. The service was great after buying a few bottles of tequila they served up shots and margaritas for our group of 18 all night long. If you are in Tulum you need to go! read more

Alfonso is the man. Took care of a party of 20, I can't even coordinate ordering food for three people, I can't imagine being in his position. Ambience is lively. Vibe is immaculate. Good food with entertainment. If you have a large group and want to experience something different and special come through. read more

I ordered the risotto with fillet. Honestly, so good. I do not regret my food choice. In terms of the ambiance it started to get good at around 9-10 pm. They did this really cool thing where they turned off the lights and handed out sprinkles so we were lighting the place. The service staff was very attentive. read more

Wow. The food here was soooo good. I was worried it was going to be overpriced and just not worth it but it was worth every penny. We had the burratta appetizer, the ribeye steak, and the risotto de Camarones and all three dishes were excellent. The best dish was the risotto though. It had the biggest shrimp I've ever seen in my entire life. They tasted like lobster. Only complaint would be that it's super loud at the restaurant - it definately caters to the people who just want to party but the food made up for it. We still had a great time and enjoyed the food. We would definately recommend it to our friends our age but probably not older people lol we would definately come back! read more

My biggest issue with this place is their music is bumpin but then its a sit-down dining place? Like why is there no dance floor... I would want to dance but there is literally no room because the tables take up every inch of space. They want you to dance but you can only dance on the tables and that's where are food and drinks are so no.. It's very pricey as well. The drinks are around $20 each. Can't give them too hard of a time about that though because everything in this zone is very expensive. At least they look nice and taste good though. From what we had the food is good. The best part to me is the decor, music selection, and that you can order any cocktail on the menu virgin. I've never seen that before at a restaurant. To me it's a tourist trap that just seems like a fun time on Instagram but it actually a bad idea. I would not go back. read more

Came to RosaNegra for my partners birthday celebration and our "last night in Tulum" dinner with a group of friends and had an effing blast!!!! The atmosphere here was so lit! Our service was great, they didn't skip a beat! Didn't forget one order, brought everything we asked for within minutes! Even with all the loud music, and cheering! We danced at our table, got on top of chairs and they never said anything to us, pretty much encouraged us to keep dancing and having fun! This was definitely a night to remember! We ordered bone marrow, 77oz Tomahawk, prawns and the mushroom risotto was delicious! I wished the grilled octopus was better but it was okay.. We danced majority of the dinner lol spent a pretty penny, but totally worth the experience! A great way to close out our trip. I wished I had gotten more photos of the food. Highly recommend! 10/10! read more

Food was very subpar. The best thing we had out of everything was the Hamachi & Risotto. Everything was overpriced or what is it, dishes range from $30-$116. Service was okay, our server was nice. However, I told I absolutely did not like the ESQUITE TOSTADAS because it lacked flavor & the tostadas were very stale. He let me know that he will not be able to take it off the bill. It didn't bother me very much since it was the cheapest thing on the menu. Ambience is where it's at. I will give credit where credit is due and the vibes were vibing. I would recommend if you want to have a good time, smoke hookah, enjoy the live music, and have drinks. If that's the case I recommend going around 9:00pm or later. read more
Let me just preface by stating this is the first 1 star review I've ever given. Besides the beach views and some decent food presentation, this place has nothing going for it. If the ingredients are supposed to be of high quality, we must have missed it. We came at our reservation time and were the only ones in the outdoor seating by the beach (we had an oddly leaning in table that made us feel like our food and drinks were going to slide off the table into our laps) and instead of sitting us at one of the many empty tables they put us at a bench with a coffee table. The service from hostesses and servers were lacking in friendliness and attentiveness. We waited ages for our food to come, and when it did, the steak tasted of a poor cut and was not cooked as requested. The sushi was mediocre at best; I've had better sushi at HEB in Texas. The cocktail was the most enjoyable item, but there was not much competition. We didn't bother ordering dessert after wasting our money on our entrees. I do not recommend setting food in this overpriced, pretentious location. read more

We sat near the bar. Not sure if there is a show, but there was a lot of energy and sparklers handed out throughout the restaurant often to hype the crowd up. The staff also encourages you to get up and stand on your chairs and dance. Cute energy! For food we had old fashions(great and strong), strawberry margarita (this is mixed with raspberry, so be sure if you have an allergy to ask for straight strawberry--I had to point this out to our waitress), hamburger (rated top 3 of all time), grilled artichoke(these were not flavorful and tough to chew), corn(the pairing sauces are a good compliment), and the short rib pot( the pairing sauce was good with this as well). read more
If you're ever in Tulum, RosaNegra is a must go. The atmosphere of this restaurant is super vibrant - there's great, danceable music blasting and sparklers going off every minute. They also have a wide variety of drinks which are super yummy - I got the smoky moon and it was so good. The food was also really good and came out quickly. My group ordered a couple of appetizers and then we got our own mains. I ordered the seared tuna and it was so so good. It wasn't your traditional pepper coated tuna but instead slices of seared tuna sitting on a bed of sauce which was a little sweet but so so good. Unfortunately I ended up yakking it out after drinking too much but I definitely recommend this dish. Also, shots are unfortunately $23 USD which is a bit of a punishment but they are also massive. The servers were fantastic - we asked for so many sparklers and extras and they were super quick and understanding and were hyping us up as we were dancing on the chairs. Overall, had a blast! read more

Heard so much about this restaurant, but the main highlight is the sparklers they bring out to the table. Other than that the food is overpriced & mediocre. There are other newer restaurants now in Tulum with a more fun vibe, but I suppose this restaurant is a classic that everyone must visit if they go to Tulum. read more
