For a restaurant in a busy section of Tulúm where the prices are absolutely on par with LA, SF or NYC, one expects the quality to be superb.
It was a Friday night, very busy and somehow this place only had 2 servers and 2 cooks in the kitchen.
This is not a mom and pop operation. This restaurant is part of a huge restaurant group employing hundreds if not thousands of people. Is the pay terrible? Why are there zero people working?
We waited forever for our food and drinks. With $20 drinks, remember the LA, etc comment I made?!? Yep.
Ohhhh Tulum - I want to love you, but, it's always disappointing visiting.
Food was not great. Steaks were VERY undercooked. Pork was just ok...corn was overcooked and mushy.
Won't be returning....keep walking and find another spot.

I loved this place, first time trying burrata with banana mole, loved it. The service and attention of the person who served us was wonderful, we will return for sure. Her name is Maria and she is super attentive.

Vibe is also good here, but this restaurant has no AC! They have fans but sometimes or rather often times it isn’t enough. Food is decent; but the dessert isn’t thay great in my opinion. Also management is really weird about taking things off the check that didn’t taste right so that part is annoying. I prefer some of the other rosanegra group restaurants!

This was a fun dining experience! The restaurant is beautiful. There is loud music, so be mindful that it is not ideal for little ones. My friends and I enjoyed the entertainment during our meal. It was a unique experience that we didn't actually know about beforehand. Alex, our server, and the entire staff helping him were very attentive and super friendly. The food was flavorful and we enjoyed all of it. If you are planning a celebration, like a birthday or bachelorette this would be an excellent option. The atmosphere is fun and energetic. There was a group at the VIP table for some type of celebration and you could tell they were having the best time. Costs for this restaurant is similar to others in the hotel zone of Tulum. We had drinks, 2 bottles of water, the grilled octopus, branzino (among the pricier entrees just FYI), shrimp tacos, and the spinach and goat cheese salad (all delicious, but the salad was my personal favorite- great way to get those veggies in). The total was just over $300usd. Expect this price point for comparable locations.

Originally my best-friends and I had booked reservations at Bak but we were running late and we luckily able to reserve a table last minute. Thank god we did because we had such an amazing night. Full of lots of laughs, dancing (lapdances, follow the leader and dancing on the stage!) The service was superb & the food was very good!! One of the best carne de res tacos I’ve ever had and their meatballs wow…with nuts were one of the best meatballs I’ve ever had. I got to try their ribeye steak and their complementary pig skin with salsas were out of this world. Their margaritas were soooo good especially their passion fruit. I was chugging it like if it was juice along with the shots we ordered lol. The manager also was very helpful to the point that he had the chef bring out new tacos to my friend because hers were too salty. The waiters/bus boys were hilarious with their random lapdances on the women celebrating their birthdays lol. There was live singing which made my night because they played Selena and I of course knew all of the songs and was brought out to dance/sing with them..it was the highlight of my night!! Lol Ending the night with the dj playing the birthday girls song (my bestfriend is a singer & I asked the dj if he could play her song and he did) it was epic!! He also played a lot of great throwbacks and current hits..felt like I was back in NYC!! I would definitely recommend coming here if you wanna have a superb dining experience in Tulum.

Complementary Fried Pig Skin and Sauces
One of the best Mexican Restaurants in Mexico
The Mamazzita Tulum is a great place and definitely worth a visit! We've been to many restaurants in Tulum - the Mamazzita was by far the best.
Let's start with the place:
The Mamazzita a very cool with different kind of tables and launches. We had a big round table on the raised area with a perfect view over the restaurant. The ambience is warm and Mediterranean. Especially in the dark there is a great atmosphere.
The place is not quiet, it's a party place! There was a DJ playing loud music all evening. A good mixture of house, hip hop & Mexican music.
There where also beautiful & elegant dancers in the restaurant.
The food:
The Mamazzita offers an extensive selection of Mexican food , interpreted by chef in a modern and sophisticated way.
The presentation of the food is very well thought out and appealing.
Quality and taste are on a very high international level. Some dishes were close to a Michelin 1 star level. We had a short chat after our dinner with the chef.
The service:
The service at Mamazzita is extraordinary! We had a reservation (5 people) and arrived about 15 minutes later. The reception was very friendly and we were seated within a very short time.
In addition to the head waiter responsible for us, two other waiters were responsible for our table. They were well trained, courteous and yet unobtrusive at all times. We were given professional and personal advice on the selection of food and drinks. All the details we requested were taken into account.
Summery:
All in all we had a wonderful evening with dinner, drinks and great entertainment! I can warmly recommend the Mamazzita. We'll be back!
The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, and the price was very reasonable. The menu has traditional Mexican dishes mixed with local flavors & a great representation of the elaborate creativity only found in Tulum.

I visited here spontaneous with friends for a birthday dinner while in Tulum. This restaurant has great live performance and music that keeps you entertained all through the night.
The food is not the best, but the performances and music are enough to make me visit again when I’m in Tulum. I ordered for beef tacos which were quite good, but my friends didn’t enjoy their food a lot. The restaurant staff also are very attentive to your orders and they cater to you properly all through your stay there.

BBQ Beef Taco
Absolutely amazing experience. Came for my boyfriends birthday which we decided last minute and from the second we walked in we received the best service. The food was incredible from the complimentary appetizer to the entrees and desserts. We were surprised with a birthday cake and a celebratory dance!! Erby and Tony went above and beyond and made our experience so much more enjoyable. Can't wait to come back!!
