You can't visit this city without visiting Negro Huitlacoxe. You will have the best Mexican food with amazing atmosphere for the indoor and the outdoor. They have also grilled fish but I preferred to go with the easiest one as you see in the photos. The prices are so reasonable and the food is so delicious. The restraunt is hidden behind the main street and it is worth to find it. I started eating before I getting my photos. A MUST VISIT!! What an experience- the service is great with staff being very knowledgeable and friendly. The food is amazing and notable mentions to the grilled corn, the hortacha and the Anatole- incredible! We visited three times in 2 weeks and each time had to order two portions of the corn 🌽! The atmosphere is also great with an open kitchen and they do an excellent job at keeping bugs away with copal burning! Not to be missed! One of the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. I went 4 times during my stay in Tulum. The corn ribs and tamales are amazing, great music, lovely staff, beautiful open kitchen, I have zero complaints. Thank you for the mezcal, I will be back! Honestly they deserve a Michelin star!

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 consomé 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!

Wonderful, friendly workers, and they spoke English which helped with our minimal Spanish speaking skills. Prices were solid, spent about $25 for an aperol spritz and a meal! Definitely order the birria tacos they were chronic! And the restaurant itself was BEAUTIFUL, chill and very photogenic atmosphere!
