I left Taboo Tulum underwhelmed and I can't seem to put my finger on why. I believe it may not have lived up to the hype that read about online prior to our dining experience. I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Sure, it has a beach vibe. There is live music; that night there was a violinist. We stood on the chairs briefly and clapped. But it felt forced. The servers were great dancers though! The food was okay, not memorable but the price was steep. I probably won't return if I was given the choice. Overpriced and overhyped.
I had gone to the Cancun location and had a blast! I had heard how much fun people had at the Tulum location that I was ready to see for myself! It was 1:30pm on a Sunday and basically nobody was there. I had spent $100 on three drinks, that tasted just okay. Had been consistently harassed by workers for us to pay the 2,500 pesos per person to move to the beach, despite expressing how we didn't want to. If you want the hype and to spend your money on just the brand, go on over! There are plenty of other beach clubs better than Taboo.
Living in the life, I then overworked correctional officer. It was good to appreciated by a restaurant at 10 o'clock at night! I recommend this location due to the fact it was fun. It was flirty and it provided exactly what I needed tacos drinks and great ambience. The service was very good and at the end of the night I was receiving free shots free drinks by staff and guess.
I came here about 17 hours after going to Taboo Cancun. Two completely different experiences. This one had more of a party vibe--outside by the beach, with a DJ, lots of hookah, VIP sections, and people having a great time dancing and getting super drunk. The food was good; I had the seafood spaghetti. If you like spice, you'll love it. I also had about five Alchemist drinks. I was drinking that one all last night at Taboo Cancun, so I figured I'd keep it going. Overall, it's a great spot to go with a group,, because it's a fun, lively vibe. Service on the other hand not as good as Taboo Cancun. Long wait time and you might not see your waiter for 20 mins at a time. If I'm in Tulum , I'll definitely stop here again if I'm with a group.
Fun beach club with great music! Came to celebrate our friends' 40th and we all had the best time. Got a cabana, some drinks, food and shisha. Our server was very nice and attentive.
If you are looking for loud dance music, extremely slow service, and spendy food/drinks..... this is your place. View was amazing.
Amazing service and amazing food. Yovani and Agustin took great care of us. We went down to the beach and they stood next to our items to make sure no messed with them. It's started raining and they immediately took us in side so I didn't get wet then when it stopped raining they made sure our table was dry and sat us right back down. They Pulled my chair out every time I got up. So attentive and sweet. Highly recommend sitting in their section.
We celebrated my friend's birthday here on a Wednesday evening, at 7pm, in April. The restaurant is definitely a vibe, it's beautifully decorated but wear shoes you can walk up a rocky hill in. Lol. We could hear the dj as we walked up , he was amazing but to our surprise the restaurant was practically empty and it's very dark, I needed the light on my phone to read the menu We all ordered a suggested drink, The Alchemist, we were not impressed. I kept my drink but my friends ordered another drink, and again they were not impressed. Taboo provides a complimentary plate of pita, sundried tomatoes coated with pesto, olives , peppers stuffed with goat cheese , onion dip and olive oil. It was delicious Prior to receiving the complimentary table set I ordered the Mediterranean plate, a similar dish with pita bread, hummus , spicy feta cheese and tzatziki. Again this was delicious. On open table I saw a branzino entree I was excited to order , unfortunately it wasn't available but the salmon I ordered was delicious. The portion size was much larger than I expected it to be and it was seasoned and flambéed perfectly. I still dream about that salmon. The birthday girl ordered lamb chops and a side of mashed potatoes . Again the portion sizes are much larger than expected. She said I'm so full but I can't stop eating this lamb. Lol. Our other friend has shellfish allergies, unfortunately she didn't have a lot of options, she ordered the appetizer salmon tacos and a Greek salad . Both dishes were delicious. The salad was huge, between the three of us we could only finish half of the salad. As we were preparing the leave our amazing server and his colleagues came out dancing with sparklers and dessert to celebrate my friend's birthday . It was so sweet. In total our bill was $410, tip included. Walking down that hill , in heels, after drinks was a bit scary but we made it . Lol Ohhhh I should mention No one offered us drugs . Lol
Taboo is taboo. The vibes at Taboo were undeniable but I can't say my experience justified the costs. Taboo is definitely targeted at tourists which wouldn't be a bad thing if it wasn't so expensive - fries were $21 USD. Potatoes. $21. The pros: Very nice service. The music and violinist were excellent. 5/5 They provided us with a complimentary appetizer (Mediterranean plate 5/5) and a dessert for birthdays which was really nice. The portions for the shareable items were large which I greatly appreciated. We tried: - Shrimp appetizer served over quinoa 5/5 - the catch of the day which a white fish with roasted potatoes. It was cooked well (hello crunchy skin) but this was very mid flavor wise for $60 a squeeze of lemon helped. 3/5 Honestly wish I would have read reviews before but it was recommended by someone and booked initially by another friend. I wouldn't recommend.
Top-notch service at Taboo Tulum -- every staff member was warm, professional, and made the experience unforgettable. The ambiance is chefs kiss, light for the day but I'm sure it gets packed. Celebrated a birthday and they were so sweet to the birthday girl! Claps, love and a free shot! Truly the best!
We came around 7 pm for dinner and drinks. The food was good and drinks as weak. They have hookah choices and after 9 pm we have dancers with fire come out for the show. The dj was playing chill tribal music. I believe the service charge was included.
Taboo in Tulum is the ONE. Came here for a bachelorette party of ten. I will never forget how fun it was. Ambiance was crazy, but in the BEST way. The night started off with the amazing staff who greeted us. We were personally escorted to our table. Vibes were already high. Started off with tequila being poured into our mouths. Followed by more drinks. Ceviche: 10 out of 10 recommend. Best ceviche I've ever had. Spicy seafood pasta hit the spot too. I will say, these portions are huge and definitely shareable between two people. A violinist came out and serenaded my bestie bride to be along with another future bride. They handed us sparklers and it was a crazy fun party the entire time. Definitely set the bar high for future Mexico trips. We came here for dinner. I want to try coming back during the day because this restaurant sits on the beach.

Bachelorette celebration. Amazing food, great service. Making sure our drinks were filled whole time. read more
Wow, what an experience! Taboo is a destination for dinner, a party, the beach, they have it all. 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. read more

While visiting Playa del Carmen, a bus ride to Tulum was necessary, to kick it at Taboo! A time was had!!!!! We had a table reserved and advance, so all we had to do was walk up and give our name, and we were taken to our section. There was a little confusion about the type of section that we had paid for and reserved, but it was handled quickly. It was super packed! Despite it being packed, the service was still good, as well as the food, and the vibes were amazing! It is so dope that this beach club gives you the best view of the ocean! You can actually walk a few steps to the oceanfront. All of the food that we tried was delicious, from the shrimp, to the lobster, to the pasta and the sushi. The cuisine is Mediterranean focused, but there is definitely something for everyone! The saxophone player who played live to the music was the best, and everyone loved him! He does such a great job at getting the crowd hyped up. Everyone around was having a great time! There is definitely walk up seating and spaces available however depending on the demand of the day, that might not be the best thing to do. I was there on the weekend, and it was very, very busy. If I had of been a walk up, I doubt I would've been able to get a spot. Make it a MUST VISIT when you're in that part of Mexico!!! read more
I heard day clubs are the place to be when in Tulum and since it was my birthday I had to check out Taboo. This is a completely difference experience than Vegas day clubs. You are immersed in the jungle with the ocean at your fingertips. Entrance was $150 usd per person but half of it was used towards your table service. It was a blast and hopefully some of these photos will show you that. Everyone just wanted to have a good time and it's great for bachelor/ette parties. As you will be drinking, I recommend getting a taxi or private driver. Make sure you bring your sunscreen and drink lots of water to hydrate. One of the best birthday parties I've had and would definitely come back! read more
*Update* Taboo is still a vibe and great location to lay out on the beach and listen to music. The beach bed is totally worth it but definitely not careful in choosing. The sun can be a bit harsh. The service was a bit slow and since our server didn't speak English, many times he had to seek assistance from a fellow colleague. I got the Salmon burger this time and it was really delicious! No issues there; I was not a fan of the menu being pretty solid. There was a lack of accommodation in ordering...what you see is what you get. Will I return? Yep, I love Tulum and Taboo sets the perfect vacation mood! read more
Ordered the seafood rice, paella. Huge huge portion! Rice was fluffy and the seafood cooked well. I remember the night crowd being more lively and packed. Guess time has changed. Still a great place to stop in especially for the beach club. read more

My husband and I went to Taboo beach restaurant to celebrate a mini honeymoon date night and it was amazing! Loved the vibe here - 10/10 the way it's decorated, there are representatives who wear Greek inspired dress (for women) and linen type T-shirt and pants (for men) adding to the vibe this place has within Tulum! There's valet parking. We were first served with complimentary bread, olives, onion dip, olive oil, and stuffed roasted red peppers with feta cheese amazing! 10/10 We ordered king Midas cocktail and I honestly didn't like it- it was very sweet it had tequila, cinnamon syrup, and pineapple juice I didn't feel the tequila and there was too much sugar. 4/10 For hot appetizers, we ordered the Greek meatballs (wood fired beef meatballs with mint, yogurt, and cherry tomatoes) there were 4 pieces and this was to die for! So delicious melts in your mouth! Loved it 10/10 For entree, we ordered catch of the day (fresh fish with Serrano juice, lemon and roasted potatoes) the fish was so soft, delicious, and light! It was served in a big basket and it is a shareable dish. Amazing! 10/10 The service was excellent- at first we were made to sit, and were given a napkin on our lap by the waiter, after every dish our table was given a wipe clean and served with new cutlery and plates. Our waiter decided to surprise me with a complimentary dessert alongside my husband and it was so delicious it was a chocolates soufflé with a delicious light cinnamon cream and thin waffle biscuit that said 'Happy Honeymoon' that was such a great gesture 10/10 The dj was playing great music all night and there was a violinist who came in the middle for some table to play Bella Ciao and it was a whole vibe there! Everyone was given sparking candles to cheer around! We had a lot of fun. The place is definitely expensive but worth the visit! Our cost was around $200 USD read more

If you're going to go to Taboo, be prepared to spend. It costs money just to get a table. You can choose from a variety of different ones, from cabanas to decks. Half the money goes towards food and if you go over you have to pay the difference. There's a DJ in the middle of the club which blasting music which can be hit or miss depending on the day you go. A saxophone player came around to play for us which was super sick. Most of the food came out decently quickly but one of my friends didn't get his order for a really long time. I ordered a tuna tartare and it was pretty good. The drinks were yummy too. Overall, it can be a fun and relaxing time but it's expensive. read more
Lively beach club. Great service with many servers around. I ordered mango margarita and Greek meatballs appetizer with the honey sweet potato side. Everything was just okay and overpriced. I think this place is more for the party vibe if that's what you're into. read more

The experience at Taboo Tulum was phenomenal to say the least. I enjoyed every moment. The food was tasty and fresh. I had the vegan burger with potato's. The burger was made with a large portobello mushroom, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, eggplant, pumpkin seed bread and some delicious sauce. Everything was seasoned so well. The service and ambiance was top notch! We were treated like royalty lol. We purchased a cabana section which was a little expensive (13,000 pesos/roughly $764.00). The great thing is the purchase went towards food and drinks and we spent all of that. We went over the amount but it was well worth every penny. The servers were so helpful and provided us with anything we wanted. The music is a little on the dance hall side but the DJ did play some current hip hop and rap music also. We were on vacation so we definitely wanted to hear the hip hop and current music. The weather was not that great but we made the best of it. I will definitely go back again when I visit Tulum. read more
Went for a Sunday funday on the beach. Had a cabana which was very nice and shaded! We were right behind the dj so very big party scene! The saxophone player was great! Sushi and Mediterranean platter were very good! Service was fantastic. read more

I am so disappointed to have write this review! Taboo used to be one of my favorite restaurant/nightlife spots in Tulum. Unfortunately, everything was a disappointment this time around! The food was mediocre at best, the servers were lazy with their attention. There were several unmentionables that will ensure that I don't return. read more

My experience was pretty great! It's fairly expensive but any place at the beach would be around the same price since they're all touristic.. We got pasta they're good but let me tell you the beet salad is OMG! You should try! It's the perfect combo of beet cheese walnut arugula and honey! Amazing! Also the atmosphere is pretty dope too! Good place to have fun, go with a group and dance while having a dinner. read more
