"If you want to get technical, Meteroa is not so much a Tulum-inspired restaurant as it is, per its website, "a holistic experience that takes diners on a multi-sensory journey through nature, creativity, and discovery." Nevertheless, most people who opt for the (mandatory) $95 tasting menu at this deeply bizarre, prehistoric jungle fine dining spot on Melrose are going to come away talking about "Tulum vibes." There's dense tropical foliage, a record-setting amount of macrame, and more sandstone than Fred Flintstone's house. The food here could best be described as ayahuasca chic, but know that most of it is simply not enjoyable to eat. There are far better places to waste your money than emo Rainforest Cafe.
