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

Great service, fun spot for a day club in Tulum. Was pretty tame on Sunday, as they get ready for a big 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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Taboo is the best time you'll have in Tulum. It's a beautiful beach club with an awesome violinist and dj. At night it turns into a real party. I suggest reservations. To be a beach club the serve a delicious variety of food like steak and seafood l. Highly recommended read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came here for dinner with some friends during a wedding weekend. It's a great spot for large groups and definitely more of a party vibe. The music is loud, the drinks are flowing, and the girls are spinning fire (weather permitting). We ordered a ton of food (paella, burrata, meatballs, steak, and some sides, tbh kinda fuzzy) and tbh none of it was memorable. Food was mid at best but the vibes are fun if this is what you're looking for. It started raining during the fire show so instead, they pulled out a bunch of chairs and invited some of the female patrons to hop on and dance with sparklers while a violinist came out and played renditions of popular songs. I think this is def a place for tourists and probably fun for a bach party. Service is great! read more

A beautiful place, good service and nice staffs but the foods were cold and not good. Very Over price and below average food quality.

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 read more

I feel like going to Taboo Tulum is a canon event... if you're in Tulum with friends, and you're in your 20s, you've been here at least once.. or considered it. The salt-baked fish flambéed with Ouzo works. Real technique, proper presentation, tastes worth the money. The seafood paella feeds four people easily with fluffy rice and well-cooked shellfish. Greek meatballs stay tender and well-seasoned. Good for sharing. The catch of the day varies but hits more often than it misses. Perfect spot for friends. Live DJ, fire shows, beachfront jungle setting. Everyone's loud and taking photos so you fit right in. The chaos works when you're celebrating something. Love it. You'll spend $200+ per person but the portions are huge. Split dishes and it feels reasonable for special nights out. Service stays professional during busy periods. Staff leans into celebrations with birthday desserts and surprise violinist visits. Taboo knows what it is and executes well. Good food, incredible setting, perfect for making memories. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Beach Club Experience. They get 4 stars only because at the end of the day- I had a great time. Very LIT. Most of these beach clubs charge you to get in plus a food & beverage minimum. We reached that minimum so quickly and ended up paying so much more after. It was just two of us. read more

We ordered pastas for main and both dishes were so bad - we just asked for the check. We didn't eat either but of course charged for both even after saying that it's pretty bad. Pasta penne was so undercooked - it tasted like paper and black pasta - was salty, fishy and overcooked. Not edible at all. For what they charge - avoid this place. read more

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. 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

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. 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

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

*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

Go for the vibe, but the food is extremely overpriced and low quality. Good service though.

This place was definitely a VIBE! Beware of the long walk to get to the entrance, if you're wearing heels just be careful about that, especially after the drinks. Customer service 5/5 for sure!!! The hookah was the best I ever had. The way they sing happy birthday to you is so sweet plus there's beautiful women dancing all around the place. The food was 4/5. I will definitely be back no doubt! read more

Be prepared to spend $$$! Water was 58 USD (regular water not sparkling) at the restaurant. At the beach club water was $77 USD. I believe they charge per head. Service was slow. Music was good. Food was good but does not match up to the cost of everything. I would save your money and go elsewhere. read more

We decided to visit Taboo for their day party. We booked our lounge area and bottles in advance and thought we were all set until arriving and being informed that there were additional fees associated with entry which totally caught us off guard. On the flip side, the place is beautiful. Plenty of photo opps. They have pools between lounge areas that you have access to. They aren't huge in size or deep but a cute addition. The DJ takes request and is on fire. For food, we had hummus dip( 2*), tzatziki dip(5*) and the salmon tacos(5**) must try with the aioli sauce. 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

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

3 stars cause I had really high hopes for this restaurant as it was on bucket list to try while visiting Mexico. I ordered a bunch of stuff so here's the run down -Tuna Tar tar: I would give it 3/5 I've def had better and a bit over priced it you ask me. -Muscles : 5/5 I would def recommend. My favorite thing of the night. Sauce they had them in was so flavorful and muscles tasted fresh. -Ceviche was 4/5. It was good very flavorful def ask for more corn rounds to eat them with. Only gave me three wasn't enough. Lol -Seared Octopus 1/5. Now If you run down my Yelp profile you would see I am a Fan of seared octopus. But this was way over cooked. That green sauce was nasty the texture was horrible. I didn't like it at all. Also not pictured was the seafood paella. Was crazy expensive and the rice was not cooked all the way. They def rushed it and the rice was so greedy just ended up eating the seafood out of it! Service was really good though. Food came out rather quick. . Drinks were good. Ambiance was very aesthetically pleasing Vibes and ere def unmatched in other the ocean right there and live performances. We also smoked some hookah after. Hookah was just okay to be honest. 3/5 stars because I had really high hopes but it didn't meet my expectations. read more
