RosaNegra | Latin American Restaurant in Tulum

A truly delicious place with an amazing atmosphere. The food is fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in flavor — you can tell a lot of care and passion goes into every dish. The service is excellent: attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The cozy ambiance makes you want to stay longer. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place!

Very exciting restaurant in Tulum. Why exciting? Because the whole evening was filled with club and show vibes. The music is loud, the party mood high. People are given little sprinklers, dancing on chairs and more. It is not a family friendly restaurant that wants to spend a calm night. Some kids had a lot of fun, others not so much. The food was good. The bone marrow in the tortillas excellent. We had the surf and turf and that was a very chewy lobster with splinters of shell inside. Thats why only 4 stars for the food.

The atmosphere is really cool, beautiful, and lively. The DJ and the drum show were super cool! ​The menu is a bit limited (lean) and the prices are quite high, so be prepared. However, the quality of the dishes is exceptional; everything was very delicious! ​What really bothered me was the excessive attentiveness (hovering) from the waitress responsible for our table. I felt pressured the entire time to order what she wanted. She didn't leave us alone for a second, constantly hovering around us. To top it all off, at the end of the service, she tried to coerce (pressure) me into giving her a 5-star review! I have never experienced anything like that. ​In summary, what should have been a relaxing dinner was instead spent under constant pressure from the waitress. It's a real shame because the place is very expensive.

This place was amazing! The food and service were great. I told the hostess I would be paying for my friend as we were in tulum for her birthday and she promptly informed our waiter. Our waiter, Daniel if I remember correctly, was wonderful. He gave great recommendations and we tried the tuna sashimi, the corn empanada, the octopus and the Kobe steak. The sashimi was phenomenal, the empanada tasty, the octopus was the right texture with a nice crisp to the outer part and the tuétano that came with the Kobe beef was a great addition for the pricey plate. When it came to dessert, his helper, Carolina, was kind enough to inform me to start recording when they brought out the dessert which was such a nice touch. There was music, some interaction with guests to dance or play the drums so this place is definitely a great place to get into a celebratory mood. Not the spot for a romantic dinner if you want a chill vibe unless you have an early dinner but I definitely recommend trying this place during any point of being in the hotel zone of Tulum if you can.

If you’re traveling in Tulum and looking for a place where you can enjoy good food while singing and dancing at the same time, this is the perfect spot! The atmosphere is lively, fun, and full of energy. As for food, I’d definitely recommend the burger—it was delicious and a great match for the vibrant vibe of the place. Just make sure to book your reservation in advance, as this is one of the city’s hotspots and it’s almost always full.

We had the best time at Rosanegra, a charming Latin American Mexican restaurant with an incredible vibe. Though the prices were on the higher side, it was absolutely worth it for the experience. The ambience was warm, beautiful, and made our evening feel truly special. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall joy of the night. The food was fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and well-presented. Portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side given the price, but the quality made up for it. Watching the fireworks while dining was the perfect touch. We loved everything about our visit and would gladly return!

RosaNegra has a great menu, food, and lively atmosphere, however, Tulum’s food scene is so competitive and RosaNegra’s flaws at its price point (e.g., Caesar salad was advertised as made at the table but was not, steak knives were dull, servers were overly hospitable throughout the meal, and there were significant delays in bringing out cheque) are what makes it a 3/5 star. It was nonetheless a positive experience but some competitors may provide better value and dining experience.

You're really paying for the experience. Its a fantastic place to go and enjoy some festive Latin vibes. Definitely get the chocolate lava cake!! 😋 delicious The food was good, but overpriced and smaller portions. Menu online isn't at all accurate.

We had a fun dinner here one night with some friends and enjoyed the dark mysterious atmosphere, the great food, and excellent service. Our server Raul was very helpful in ordering gluten-free options for me. We enjoyed the artful presentation of the cocktails and the tacos were fabulous. It's a pricey tourist area so just be prepared for American prices but definitely better service and great food.

Go here if you want the Tulum party experience. The staff has some tracks and tricks to ensure they include every table in and there are groups celebrating bachelorettes and weddings so it gets really lit (especially with the lit fire sticks they pass). Again we were only here to try a dessert and the experience, so we got the chocolate sphere, which should come with a disclaimer that it serves 4-5 people. And it comes with a whole show, lights drama et al. Even their restrooms have a vibe with stone sinks and the works. They don't push tips.

Wow!!! I'd never been to Tulum and the Strip makes your head Spin! It is filled with Extraordinary, Elegant, Fine Cuisine & Luxury shopping. This place was nothing short of that! And Festive to boot! The had a show with music handed us sparklers & people danced about and stop tables. The food was Great service for the price could've been better that's the ONLY reason for 4 stars; and quite frankly it was more like 4 1/2 stars. The best thing about this place was my Espresso Martini it was presently second to none & we have stayed at 5 stars hotels all over the world. Very very impressive!

The vibe inside this restaurant is great, but the food was just okay. My friend ordered the fish tacos. These were some of the worst tacos I've tried - super dry and salty and the salsa lacked flavor. I had the salmon which was tasty, but nothing exceptional. I asked for the salmon cooked medium and it came out to the temperature I requested. I wish there was actually a little more salt on this dish. The burrata was good. The server was attentive and friendly! If you are dining in Tulum, most restaurants do not have windows to enclose the building. RoseNegra was the same, so it was fairly hot while we were eating. If I came back to Tulum, I wouldn't come back here.

This restaurant is so much fun! Drinks and food were delicious and the service was excellent. They make sure everyone is having a good time and are very attentive. We went for a Bach and everyone had good time. We couldn't help but compare the other restaurants we went to RosaNegra. I would definitely visit again if I'm ever in Tulum. Also a big plus was having the hookah to smoke while we drank and chatted.

This place was really nice. I had concerns after reading a few reviews but it was kinda worth it time, ambiance & money wise. I brought my mom here for her birthday after many of suggestions and research I settled and decided this was the place to come. It didn't disappoint, but I expected much more for sure. It admittedly appears more festive online & as crazy as it sounds the bathroom was the most underwhelming part of this place. The decor and ambiance is beautiful and you feel/see it from the street & while walking in. The bathroom appeared unfinished, was full disconnected decor wise from the rest of the place & looked half constructed. They have American steakhouse prices food wise, but their drinks cost more than the drinks in the states so that's where they really make their money. The service was really good, but I recommend the servers/waiters stand further away from the tables where people are dinning & having private moments. There were at least 4 or more workers 5 feet away from the tables at all times and it cheapened the experience a bit. I couldn't scratch my nose without making eye contact with a server. The food was good & prepared well, but the portions are small and most entrees don't come with sides so those were separate. Overall we had a good time, but I can't help but feel there was somewhere better that would meet my expectations. There were three of us, we ordered entrees drinks, and a few sides but no appetizers. The bill was just under $600 separate from the amazing tip we gave. I don't mind spending money like this, but there wasn't much bang for your buck here. I had the Alaskan king crab and ordered cream of spinach as a side/extra charge. The crab was good but it was maybe 4 half crab legs (cut in half totaling 4 or 5 pieces total, so maybe 2 crab legs)...it was good but as an entree that's costs a little more than other things it wasn't filling or satisfying. The cream of spinach was sooo good I wish I'd gotten 2 of them and something else. The other two had the Hamburger and the Filet Mignon. The burger was great, but my friend had to send her steak back...They brought the steak back and it was still not medium rare, but bloody. We didn't send the steak back a second time and the manager came over...he agreed the steak wasn't made properly but we decided to keep it as is and make do. Overall good, but I do believe there was somewhere with better food/ambiance for the same price with a better experience.

Ambiance: super cute restaurant but we got sat by the dj booth in a corner. awkward location. But i loved that they give everyone a sparkler during dinner with people dancing. Loved it & it looked cool! Service: service was decent - wasn't super fast but we felt attended Food: The beef empanada was good! I also loved their spicy salsa that was given complimentary. I got fish tacos and it was also good! The fish itself needed a bit more seasoning. This place is on the pricey side. For 1 cocktail, bottled water, fish tacos, fries, and tip came out to $90. Im from Vegas and was shocked at how pricey it was.

I wish I took pics of our food, but we dug right in. This was my second time in Tulum and second time at Rosa Negra so that says a lot that I came back to this restaurant after my first visit a few years ago. It's such a vibe. Starting at 8:30pm the night life kicks in and they have dancers every hour. A DJ is there and people are just enjoying themselves. You can get up and dance if you want and folk's definitely are dancing. The food is delicious and the drinks are too. It was a party of 6 people and our bill was around $200 so that's darn good if you ask me. But we didn't order alcoholic drinks so I know that played a part. They do charge you for each time they refill your glass of water and the bill can't be split. It has tgo on one card. I'm sure I'll visit Tulum again and when I do, I'll be back here again. Thanks for a great time!

While I fully expected this place to be pricey and vibe focused, charging 400 pesos ($20) per water refill is absolutely atrocious without any heads up considering we didn't order or knowingly receive bottled water. The cocktails were weak and food ok (my fish of the day was well portioned but over cooked). Party vibes were good, and they did try to make each group feel celebrated, but the lack of transparency leading to a surprise bill was unsettling.

From making an appointment to quickly being seated, the host was great! The ambiance of the restaurant had fun vibes and everyone was dancing. There was performances almost every ten minutes so it felt like a fun club. The food itself was alright. Everything tasted salty and the drinks felt watered down. Either way, these things are to be known when traveling from California to tulum. So it wasn't big deal. I would order the octopus and mushroom risotto again. The menu can be located through a QR code and there's an English version as well. The servers were great in getting everybody in a good mood but mannn are they pushy on getting you to the order the most expensive items. You really need to stand your ground. I was with 11 other girls and when I told the server we aren't ordering drinks, he stopped talking to me and tired to persuade the other girls to order drinks. It was very uncomfortable that they would do that. Then when it came to tipping, they made it hard for you to leave without tipping the price they wanted. Once again; stand your ground.

I had a fantastic time at this restaurant. One of the main reasons I selected it for our bachelorette party dinner is because I saw that they had great vegan options. I knew nothing else. We walked in and immediately we were hit in the face by the mood that is RosaNegra. There were sparklers at every table, pretty much every person. That lifted the spirits somewhat. We were seated literally spank in front of the stage. I could probably feel them breathe if I was paying attention. The bride was swept away by a random man who started dancing salsa with her. Did he work there? We will never know. The menu has a bunch of shit, but not nearly as much vegan stuff as I was expecting. Pretty minimal, actually. Or maybe it was just that it was all mushrooms? I don't recall but I couldn't, as a mushroom-disliker, partake. I ended up ordering the guac, humita empanada, and esquite tostadas. The rest of the table ordered a smorgasbord of other things including the mashed potatoes (delicious) and elote (delicious). For my drink, I ordered something with tequila or mezcal, perhaps the bacan and it arrived with a fucking SKULL in the glass. It was SO COOL. The other people who got a drink received these neon colored beverages that tasted amazing. This place has a lot of highs and lows, the highs would make a 5, the lows a 3 so that's why I have settled on a 4. Highs: -the food was FANTASTIC, the esquite tostadas where incredible. I was too full for the guac -the drinks, as above, were really unique and campy -the whole vibe is something else. I felt like I was dining in a night club. EDM music, tons of sparklers, it was a really crazy experience. Walking home from this restaurant made me realize that many restaurants on that street are like this Lows: -I never received the empanada but was charged for it -the waiter was inappropriate. He literally yelled at the person who was paying for not giving enough of a tip. She tipped him! But he wasn't satisfied with the amount and literally asked her, and expected an answer, for a higher tip. It was really awkward and uncomfortable I did read online (after coming home thank god) that someone witnessed a shooting outside rosa negra. Not at all rosa negra's fault whatsoever but more a testament to the fact that Tulum seems like it is much more dangerous than is widely known and if you are planning a trip, maybe you should reconsider. If you are already here, well, this is certainly an option for dinner!

Alfonso is the man. Took care of a party of 20, I can't even coordinate ordering food for three people, I can't imagine being in his position. Ambience is lively. Vibe is immaculate. Good food with entertainment. If you have a large group and want to experience something different and special come through.

This is a high energy environmemt! Food is delicious, definitely shareable plates Gives a nightclub feel, with loud music and dancing but you can still enjoy your meal. Although we had a phenomenal experience, they gave out way too many of those sparkles to hold, at times it was bothersome. And I didn't like how there were folks asking us if we wanted drugs in the bathroom hallway.

Absolutely amazing experience for my best friends bachelorette in Tulum! Such a great vibe inside with lots of sparklers and music. The food totally exceeded my expectations, it was delicious and everyone's favorite meal of the weekend. The service was great after buying a few bottles of tequila they served up shots and margaritas for our group of 18 all night long. If you are in Tulum you need to go!

Vibes are UNMATCHED for dinner. We came here because we were looking for a place that had red snapper, they unfortunately did not have it on the menu but we decided to stay. Rosa Negra is a PARTY. They had a DJ, dancers and the waitstaff had performances. It was pretty dope! Drinks were delicious - Obsessed was a great presentation and a delicious vacation drink (we ordered it the entire weekend). Food was amazing. The absolutely BEST guacamole I've ever had in my life. The fire fish (I don't remember what it's called) but they cook it at the table - AMAZING. Disclaimer, it is an "open air" type restaurant so take proper bug repellant. Those mosquitos came to party too LOL Food, service, ambiance, vibes - EXCELLENT.

Absolute tourist trap. Felt very scammy. Couldn't even enjoy the meal since the workers basically were on top of us too quickly clean the table. I had no space to actually touch my plate since the busser was hovering over me and continuously moving things around the table. This was our last restaurant to our girls trip and we ate at Kin Toh and Gitano which were amazing so this definitely killed the vibe of our culinary journey on our trip. The only dish I enjoyed was the elote corn. I honestly couldn't wait to pay and leave but the waiter took a long time and came out with dessert, which was a nice effort since it was my birthday. But she asked in advance if we wanted dessert and I told her we were done and wanted to leave. She brought it anyway and again was not worth staying longer for. Our dining was very transactional and I'm not sure if it was cause it was Sunday and most of the tourists were gone but the staff seemed completely over it. Even the drummer wasn't drumming and the background music clearly was drumming more than the instrument. The fire dancers were probably the only highlight of our experience that's worth coming for. The price of the bill was not worth it.

Food is amazing here and you can tell the dishes are well thought out. The vibe is party / Miami vibes with great cuisine. Do not go here if you want to have a conversation because you won't be able to hear the person next to you with how loud the music is. It is great if you want to eat good and listen to good music. Almost like eating inside a club. I will say the service is VERY fast, almost too fast. Within 5 minutes of sitting down we had bread and chips with different salsas. We ordered our food and within 5 minutes we got all the appetizers (we were a party of 4) and they took the bread and chips since there was not enough space on the table. Before we finished our appetizers and could savor the dish, we got brought out more and they kept taking the plates and moving fast. They purposely do this to get tables out fast. We learned this from a local chef. We ordered, ate, and left all within one hour. It was very fast which is great but we didn't have a moment to enjoy the food since we felt rushed out.

Extremely disappointed. Put our party of 7 on a 4 person table. We had this reservation for a month. The table was so small they were removing the appetizers before we could try it. We ordered an overpriced bottle of Don Julio, and we watched the waitress pour 2 shots on the ground before filling us up. Be careful if you get a different color plate than the entire restaurant. You'll be treated like garbage!

I ordered the risotto with fillet. Honestly, so good. I do not regret my food choice. In terms of the ambiance it started to get good at around 9-10 pm. They did this really cool thing where they turned off the lights and handed out sprinkles so we were lighting the place. The service staff was very attentive.

This place is such a vibe! I was hesitant to visit since it's so popular with tourists, but it's popular for a reason. Great food, EXCELLENT service, and fantastic entertainment. Do yourself a favor and keep RosaNegra on the must visit list while you're in Tulum!

What an experience! This place was so fun to dine at and delicious!! We were a group of ten and were able to share off each other. We got the bone marrow which is one of the best I've ever had, steak, risotto, empanadas, ceviche and more! The sparklers and the fire dance really made it an experience! Highly reccomend.

Let me just preface by stating this is the first 1 star review I've ever given. Besides the beach views and some decent food presentation, this place has nothing going for it. If the ingredients are supposed to be of high quality, we must have missed it. We came at our reservation time and were the only ones in the outdoor seating by the beach (we had an oddly leaning in table that made us feel like our food and drinks were going to slide off the table into our laps) and instead of sitting us at one of the many empty tables they put us at a bench with a coffee table. The service from hostesses and servers were lacking in friendliness and attentiveness. We waited ages for our food to come, and when it did, the steak tasted of a poor cut and was not cooked as requested. The sushi was mediocre at best; I've had better sushi at HEB in Texas. The cocktail was the most enjoyable item, but there was not much competition. We didn't bother ordering dessert after wasting our money on our entrees. I do not recommend setting food in this overpriced, pretentious location.

Really horrendous experience. Asked for two glasses of wine that were listed on the MENU under "by the glass" and they insisted we buy the bottle. Really quite shady and despicable to be honest. Even the management would not rectify the situation. Disgusting behavior and customer service.

Food was very subpar. The best thing we had out of everything was the Hamachi & Risotto. Everything was overpriced or what is it, dishes range from $30-$116. Service was okay, our server was nice. However, I told I absolutely did not like the ESQUITE TOSTADAS because it lacked flavor & the tostadas were very stale. He let me know that he will not be able to take it off the bill. It didn't bother me very much since it was the cheapest thing on the menu. Ambience is where it's at. I will give credit where credit is due and the vibes were vibing. I would recommend if you want to have a good time, smoke hookah, enjoy the live music, and have drinks. If that's the case I recommend going around 9:00pm or later.

Wow. The food here was soooo good. I was worried it was going to be overpriced and just not worth it but it was worth every penny. We had the burratta appetizer, the ribeye steak, and the risotto de Camarones and all three dishes were excellent. The best dish was the risotto though. It had the biggest shrimp I've ever seen in my entire life. They tasted like lobster. Only complaint would be that it's super loud at the restaurant - it definately caters to the people who just want to party but the food made up for it. We still had a great time and enjoyed the food. We would definately recommend it to our friends our age but probably not older people lol we would definately come back!

Still a vibe second time around. The ambiance hasn't changed, great live DJ, entertainment from the servers, and the food is pricey but definitely worth it. Come in a large group because it's definitely for the vibes.

If you're looking for dinner and a party, Rosa Negra is the spot. This place is an experience. The vibe is high-energy from the start, with music, sparklers, drums, and even fire dancers making appearances throughout the night. It's definitely not your average dinner setting, but it's a ton of fun if you're in the mood to celebrate. The food! Delicious. Presentation is beautiful and the quality is definitely there. For apps we tried the empanadas. We ordered a fish that they light up on fire and an ice cream cake that was also on fire to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We loved the show. Drinks are tasty and you can't forget the shots! Service was great friendly, fast, and really on top of everything. They clearly know the menu and help with recommendations

ORDERED - "Japanese Wagyu" - Spicy Octopus - Short Rib Pot - Ora King Salmon - Ceviche Sampler - Giant Churro - Smoky Moon - Margarita Ahumada - Moët Nectar Imperial STAFF We had great service - they do hospitality really really well here. Didn't get the bottle of champagne we wanted, but the sommelier came out and recommended something similar and we quite enjoyed it. With the bottle came out the "party starters" with sparklers for everyone and they pretty much hype the table up. SEATING & AMBIANCE There's SO many tables which are usually all booked out. Would recommend making reservations ahead of time. This is NOT somewhere to come for an intimate dinner. It's more like a club/lounge. PARKING No parking which is the case for many restaurants along this strip. Recommended to take a taxi to/from here. FOOD/DRINK We really enjoyed the WAGYU PICANA, SHORT RIB POT & CEVICHE SAMPLER the most. I would skip on the Ora King Salmon as the portion size was small and the salmon itself was slightly overcooked. If you don't mind ground bits in your drinks, the SMOKY MOON was really tasty and sweet (ground up bits were goji berries). Finish off with the GIANT CHURRO for dessert -- this is to be shared because its huge!

Would I come here again? Absolutely not. The food is mediocre at best, the service is not good, and it is terribly over priced. The ambiance is really the only thing saving this review. I came here as part of my bachelorette with a group of ladies who don't mind paying a good amount of money for good food. But here -- definitely not worth it. I got the filet risotto and it was bland at best. My friend for the rack of lamb...and once again, mediocre. Two of my friends ordered asparagus and the waiter only brought out one. When we asked him why he only brought out one and an ETA on the second, he said because he said "you all could share that one". First, if we order two orders then just bring us the two orders. Second, don't make that decision for us without even communicating that's what you're doing. Service was really the downfall. First, our waiter was not great. When ordering I asked the waiter about the potato soufflé because I wanted to know what it was made with. He said it had nuts and when I asked him if he knew what kind of nuts were in it, he told me to Google it. That's very concerning especially for people with allergies to nuts. Needless to say I got a different meal and yet...he still brought out the potato soufflé.

Good food - great vibe - just some of the employees kept on asking everyone if they want to buy drugs as we were going to the bathroom.- the experience would have been perfect if it wasn't for that

4 stars for what could be the most highly rated resto for food AND entertainment on the beach strip! Reservations highly recommended as it is virtually impossible to walk in. Known for a party spot ( party on your seat, LOL there is no dance floor), DJed music and hourly sparklers set the vibe. Dancing on your chair is encouraged and each bottle order is celebrated with an entourage of dancers. Foodwise, it is pretty good. Our drinks - mango margaritas and passionfruit mojitos were great! We had the chocolate ice cream ball dessert that arrived with flair and would recommend it because of that. We had the Peruvian ceviche which was ourstanding, the tacos, empanadas, and the churros. Ambience is high class and loud, fun and pretty much a beachy Vegas club. There will be the person by the restrooms asking discreetly for any interest in cocaine so just be prepared to say no thanks. I've found this to be the norm in every place we've been to in Tulum which can be unnerving if you are not warned. Diplo was the DJ the night before, and we were at the Hookah spot across from Rosa Negra that night-- it was epic.

Es un restaurante que tienes que visitar aunque sea una vez, el ambiente y servicio del lugar es excelente si deseas una experiencia al estilo Tulum. La comida es ok para los precios que manejan.

You probably saw this restaurant on instagram before yelp! Don't worry I did too LOL. We made a reservation for 10pm and arrived at 10:03 but it took until 10:41 to actually sit at a a table (if that tells you anything) as a group of 2. We were off to the side of the main action where it looks like the reserve the tables for the large and fun big groups! The sparklers and everything were a lot of fun. The food was actually really good!! Highly recommend the sea bass made table side it's stunningly delicious!! They were out of quite a few things like the lobster tacos we were looking forward too. They also include tip which is strange for a small party like ours. Overall, it was fun but I wouldn't go back unless it was a large group activity or a bachelorette party!

Beware of this establishment!!! Cartel shook us down in the bathrooms and took our money when we refused to buy drugs from them. Circled our table to harass us after we told the restaurant and everyone there turned a blind eye. The waiters/management said there was nothing they could do and were clearly in on it. They also refused to take any of the food we were too upset to eat off the bill. Absolutely crazy and extremely terrifying experience.

Heard so much about this restaurant, but the main highlight is the sparklers they bring out to the table. Other than that the food is overpriced & mediocre. There are other newer restaurants now in Tulum with a more fun vibe, but I suppose this restaurant is a classic that everyone must visit if they go to Tulum.

Probably the most lively, fun night dining experience in Tulum! The live DJ music is a great set, the servers go above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying yourself and the food is above average. Highly recommend if you want a nightlife, restaurant experience while visiting Tulum.

My biggest issue with this place is their music is bumpin but then its a sit-down dining place? Like why is there no dance floor... I would want to dance but there is literally no room because the tables take up every inch of space. They want you to dance but you can only dance on the tables and that's where are food and drinks are so no.. It's very pricey as well. The drinks are around $20 each. Can't give them too hard of a time about that though because everything in this zone is very expensive. At least they look nice and taste good though. From what we had the food is good. The best part to me is the decor, music selection, and that you can order any cocktail on the menu virgin. I've never seen that before at a restaurant. To me it's a tourist trap that just seems like a fun time on Instagram but it actually a bad idea. I would not go back.

Went on Valentine's Day and it was a live show, drinks and lots of food, be aware, it's pricey but worth it!

Party ambiance ! Great for a large group celebrating an occasion. The service is on point. The food was UNMATCHED! My lambchops were soooo well cooked and the garnishes tasted amazing as well. I love the sauce !!! The mashed potatoes are to die for. Very smooth texture for both mashed potatoes AND sweet potatoes.

We sat near the bar. Not sure if there is a show, but there was a lot of energy and sparklers handed out throughout the restaurant often to hype the crowd up. The staff also encourages you to get up and stand on your chairs and dance. Cute energy! For food we had old fashions(great and strong), strawberry margarita (this is mixed with raspberry, so be sure if you have an allergy to ask for straight strawberry--I had to point this out to our waitress), hamburger (rated top 3 of all time), grilled artichoke(these were not flavorful and tough to chew), corn(the pairing sauces are a good compliment), and the short rib pot( the pairing sauce was good with this as well).

If you're ever in Tulum, RosaNegra is a must go. The atmosphere of this restaurant is super vibrant - there's great, danceable music blasting and sparklers going off every minute. They also have a wide variety of drinks which are super yummy - I got the smoky moon and it was so good. The food was also really good and came out quickly. My group ordered a couple of appetizers and then we got our own mains. I ordered the seared tuna and it was so so good. It wasn't your traditional pepper coated tuna but instead slices of seared tuna sitting on a bed of sauce which was a little sweet but so so good. Unfortunately I ended up yakking it out after drinking too much but I definitely recommend this dish. Also, shots are unfortunately $23 USD which is a bit of a punishment but they are also massive. The servers were fantastic - we asked for so many sparklers and extras and they were super quick and understanding and were hyping us up as we were dancing on the chairs. Overall, had a blast!

The food was AMAZING!! Service was OUTSTANDING!! Ambiance was ASTOUNDING!! The staff, the music, the food, the WHOLE VIBE was beyond beyond!! If you're ever in TULUM make sure you go to RosaNegra!! You will NOT regret it!

4 Stars because there wasn't a show or not any excitement for my husbands 50th birthday. Although they gave him a piece of chocolate cake with a sparkler that fizzled out before we could even take one picture. It was nothing like the Tik Tok reviews I've seen. The food and drinks were delicious nevertheless.

Such a cute spot with great service and ambiance. Franco was our waiter and he was so awesome with attention and recommendations. He had such good energy. Mario and Ardemio were also so kind, attentive and polite. We will absolutely be back! They also surprised me for my bday with a lovely dessert and sparkler. The sparkler show is also really fun where they give everyone a sparkler. :) If you're looking for a fun spot, with good food this is it. The area is also nice to walk around after to let the fun continue.

RosaNegra is truly an experience!! This place is so fun and lively. The food is very mid and overpriced to me but you will have an amazing time if you're not an introvert. It's very loud and festive. They bring around sparklers to everyone to sing and dance throughout the night. The DJ plays all types of music and it was so fun seeing all the ladies from various birthday and Bachelorette parties dancing on the tables. I would definitely come here again for drinks and a good time, but I'd eat somewhere else before I came.

We heard lots of great recommendations from friends who went to RosaNegra. We were excited to see what it really was about, we were not disappointed. It was a fun dinning experience and was happy to see how the staff included every guest to participate in the lighting show. It was fun. Just wished there was a dance floor or something for they were playing great music! We were during low season we were able to get seated right away. I did call ahead for RSVP. Just know to call ahead if you're planning to dine here. The food was delicious and the drinks out of this world! Highly recommend. Like everything in Tulum, this is $$$ place. Fun part is they also sell hookah!

Food always great! But there kind of hypocrite as they treat Mexican horrible because they choose to believe locals won't tip enough went in and asked for a table forgot to make a reservation and they asked where we were visiting from and told them we were from GDL and they still sat me down on the Japanese side of the menu (seperate restaurant) then we started speaking English and their whole attitude changed when I told them find me a better table because I was gonna buy a bottle. Mind you they were being kind of rude not to mention it wasn't even a busy time . None the less the ambiance is cool or whatever if you like to party.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! We even went back two nights in a row. After going to several other restaurants in Tulum, Rosa Negra was by far THE BEST. Every single element was perfect - the food, service, music, ambiance, people, cocktails...literally everything. Thank you Rosa Negra, you will forever have a special place in my heart!!!

Great ambiance and decor for dinner. Service was impeccable as there were tons of people to serve and make sure you are comfortable. The place is loud for dinner as it has the ambiance of a club. The seating tables are nicely decorated for dinner seating. We were greeted with a smile upon check in. Reservations are highly recommended as this place gets crowded quickly. The food comes stand alone, you have to order sides and everything is in large portions and shareable.
