“ Love love love! This place deserves a Michelin star or something. Such a gem of a restaurant. Super simple menu done to perfection. We came back for dinner two nights in a row as we loved it so much! Recommend everything birria and the corn ribs. ”
“ We had an excellent dinner with drinks and desserts and great service. My only concern was that the outdoor area where we were seated is off-leash dog friendly. So as we ate, dogs barked at each other and roamed around freely. I have a fear of dogs and so that part of the experience was not comfortable for me. Although I’m sure dog owners see this as a benefit. Otherwise, everything was excellent. ”
“ My partner and I went for dinner at Negro huitlacoxe on a Wednesday and loved it so much we went back again for dinner the next night! The first night we went we had a waiter named Jose, he was absolutely excellent! Very attentive to the table and very good at speaking English as we speak basic Spanish. The next night we had a waiter named Julian who was equally as proficient, all around we had fantastic service from everyone! The atmosphere is next level, the outdoor setting is tropical plants, vibrant lights, fantastic music, open kitchen and rustic decor. Lastly the food! To start we tried their signature dish which was corn ribs which were out of this world! We also had birra tacos and birra quesadilla’s with consome as well as grilled beef and chorizo vampiro, which was like a tostada for lack of my Mexican cuisine knowledge. Which were all amazing! The cocktails we had were delicious and exceeded expectations with the restaurant giving their own unique expression and creativity to old and new. 10/10! Would go back a third time if we were here for longer! Thank you for such a fantastic experience! ”
“ Wow! The food, the atmosphere, the music, the drinks! Everything was a whole experience. Would definitely recommend and be back if back in town. Ordered a drink, and appetizer, two main dishes and a dessert (with tip) around 60 US dollars. Pictures: corn ribs, tropical drink (not on the menu regularly), and tres leche dessert. ”
“ Our friend who's been in tulum For many months recommended this place. Tacos were super good, corn was to die for, the guacamole was also amazing. Apparently same chef from Arca. Place had so many locals too so it was a good green flag ”
“ Absolutely amazing experience. After dining in various places in Tulum, this one is the best, hands down. Awesome atmosphere wirh spectacular details, the staff is super friendly, constantly smiling but at the same time professional and very helpful. Everybody seems happy and relaxed, even in the kitchen (that is open to admire, by the way). The fire, colours, flavours, smells... food, all is well thought and beautifully arranged in a way that you can't help feeling that you are in a special place where people care. The food is super tasty and healthy. They use 3 types of corn in the same tortilla! We enjoyed every bite. 5 stars for everything, and thank you guys! You made us feel finally welcomed in Tulum! ”

“ Negro Huitlacoxe is an absolute standout in Tulum’s dining scene. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was both intimate and edgy—perfectly matching the creativity of the dishes. Every plate felt like a story, rooted in Mexican tradition but elevated with bold, unexpected twists. We tried several dishes, and each one was a revelation. The huitlacoche-infused creations were unforgettable—earthy, rich, and beautifully plated. You can tell the chef treats food as an art form, not just a meal. The cocktails were equally inventive, with local ingredients and complex flavors that kept us curious with every sip. Service was warm and attentive, offering thoughtful recommendations without being overbearing. It’s rare to find a place where passion, quality, and originality come together so seamlessly. Negro Huitlacoxe isn’t just dinner—it’s an experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something truly special in Tulum. ”
