"In a world where uniformity is seemingly around every corner, Wild stands out from the pack. Nestled within the jungle of Tulum, this setting blends striking modern and rustic elements with lush nature. American Chef Norman Fenton is the brains behind the contemporary dishes, offered à la carte or as tasting menus. Begin with an appetizing vegetarian dish such as the crispy avocado with sikil pak, pico de gallo and oxalis before moving on to main dishes where quality ingredients shine. Excellent fish is seen in seafood plates like Campeche prawns or sea bass wrapped in hoja santa leaf. For dessert, a coconut granita with passionfruit, almond coco-crunch, lime and fresh mango is as refreshing as the open-air setting." - Michelin Inspector

Cariño’s Norman Fenton Brings Elevated Mexican Flavors to Chicago

15 Destination-Worthy Restaurants in the Mexican Caribbean | Eater

"Michelin-recommended Wild — led by executive chef Norman Fenton — is as romantically Tulum as you can get. The structures above the bar rise from the jungle like a manmade tree canopy and candles flicker on each table. While Wild has a nine-course tasting menu, we recommend ordering a few local Tulum small-batch beers or cocktails alongside bar snacks to share. Try the frothy Circo Loco made with Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, mango puree, coconut cream, and soda, or the tiki-inspired El Mañanero, made with mezcal, yellow chartreuse, pineapple, and orgeat syrup. Dip the house-made focaccia with black garlic, epazote, and chipotle into the pumpkin seed sauce served in a pool around the intensely crunchy and creamy vegetarian fried avocado dish. Follow it up with the huitlacoche ravioli — stuffed with a blend of corn fungus and cheese and adorned with a crown of corn silk and Italian truffle. In between dishes, keep your eyes peeled for one of the restaurant’s three resident cats or a peek at a wild coati, a member of the raccoon family (think a cross between an anteater and red panda) peeking through the vegetation." - Lee Musho

First time and food and service were both great. The restaurant has a jungle theme similar to many other restaurants in Tulum but still feels elevated. Our server Bianca was fantastic, gave great food recommendations. Ravioli is definitely the highlight, so good, the truffle sauce is creamy and cheesy, goes very well with the house toast, better than the three butters that came with the toast. The octopus was also very tasty. Tender and full of flavor with the squid ink sauce, a bit spicy but we loved it. Cocktails were okay. One disappointment was that we mentioned in the reservation that it’s a birthday celebration but the restaurant didn’t acknowledge or do anything. Otherwise good experience and one of the better restaurants in the hotel zone. Better food than Nu.

Our recent dining experience at Wild Tulum was truly exceptional and stands out as a highlight of our time here. From the moment we stepped into the enchanting, candle-lit jungle setting, we were captivated by the incredibly romantic atmosphere. It’s a beautifully designed space that perfectly blends sophistication with the untamed spirit of Tulum. The culinary journey was just as impressive. Every dish we ordered was a delight – expertly crafted, bursting with flavor, and showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients. It's clear there's a real passion for gastronomy in their kitchen. Adding to the wonderful evening was our charming waitress. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and her warm demeanor made us feel incredibly welcome and well-cared for throughout our meal. A particularly unique and memorable moment was when a curious raccoon ambled by our table, a gentle reminder of the restaurant's immersive tropical setting. Far from being a disturbance, it added a touch of wild charm and made for a lovely anecdote – a truly unique tropical experience! For an evening of excellent food, impeccable service, and an unforgettable romantic ambiance with a touch of nature's magic, Wild Tulum is an absolute must-visit. We wholeheartedly recommend it and look forward to returning.

Beautiful restaurant with some amazing food choices. Pretty much everything we ordered with the exception of the fish was delicious. Service was very nice and the food presentation was flawless. Keep in mind that it's a pretty pricey restaurant but if you want to spoil yourselves this is the place to do it.

Honest Review: The overall presentation of the food was great, and the vibe of the place had a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Our server was sweet—attentive and friendly—but the hostess left much to be desired. Despite having a reservation, there being no line and many empty tables, we were made to wait, which felt unnecessary. A significant downside was the seating situation; the tables were placed on gravel, which made them unstable and uncomfortable. As for the food, unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations! The steak was served cold, the octopus was both bland and overly spicy, and while the beet salad was fine, it didn’t stand out. The chocolate dessert, however, was a huge letdown—it didn’t resemble chocolate at all. The portion sizes were incredibly small, which made the meal feel even less worth the price. With two main dishes and one side dish totaling around $400 CAD ($4500 MXN), it didn’t feel worth the price. The atmosphere was relaxing, but overall, the food and experience didn’t justify the cost.

We stayed at Nomade resort across from Wild and this was such an easy option for our first nights dinner in Tulum. It’s an outdoor restaurant like every other restaurant in Tulum with that same “Tulum” vibe. Looks quite nice. We had no reservation but it was slow so no issue getting in. The waitress was nice and she went over the menu and it all looked good. We started with a bottle of water and a delicious cocktail see pix. We ordered the ceviche as an appetizer that was good and grilled octopus and catch of the day for main. I’m a pescatarian so love fish and was craving the catch of the day. When we got our food I seriously was so incredibly disappointed!! It came on small plate well presented with some green mush with a teeny tiny bit of fish inside, see pix. I’m all about fine dinning but seriously this was a joke. There was barely any fish inside and for that price point I’m seriously excepting more. The bill came to C$260 including a “mandatory” 18% tip for just ok food. I understand that Tulum is not cheap but what they currently are charging for food is just ridiculous, and all that mandatory tipping BS is all becoming just a scam!

We had really good tasty food here. It’s on the upper price end but you get value for what you pay. I liked the fact that they could make vegetarian versions of some of the regular dishes. For instance, instead of oysters they served us a mushroom alternative that was delicious. Atmosphere was great, sitting on the jungle part, amongst the trees and plants. It gave a great vibe. My husband’s sashimi and fish dish were very delicate and tasty, he enjoyed them very much. My vegetarian dishes were also good.

We hosted our wedding reception at Wild after visiting earlier in the year. I can tell you that the restaurant is to die for. Wild is the perfect name that the vibe deserves, and the food is Michelin worthy. The dishes are as beautiful as they are tasty and we remember every single bite. Don't get me started on the cocktails.. they are all creative, balanced and the presentation is gorgeous. Working with Karen and the Wild team was so seamless, making our wedding planning stress-free. Karen welcomed us with our favourite cocktails on arrival and the energy that the team gave throughout the night was everything. We are already planning to come back at our earliest possibility to relive the memories and re-taste the food. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!! <3

Bianca was our server - she is amazing! Her recommendations were on point The food was delicious and flavourful. Had the focaccia bread, blue masa tetelas, ravioli and the catch of the day in holy leaf - the ravioli was the best and catch of the day in holy leaf a close second. The focaccia bread was warm and perfect to eat the ravioli sauce with For dessert had the coconut and pineapple as I don't like overly sweet - it was a good balance of textures and flavors - sweet and citrusy. Bianca recommended this dessert over the chocolate for the summer weather and not to overwhelm the food we had before - and she was absolutely right!

This was by far one of the most delicious meals I've experienced in a long time. This restaurant was directly across from our resort and we decided to try it for our last meal in Tulum and we definitely saved the best for last. We did make a reservation, although the space was surprisingly empty at 7pm. We do know we came as the season is winding down, but for how good this food is, this place should always be packed. Our waitress was delightful - attentive, helped to explain every dish and the dishes all came out quickly but nothing felt rushed. The vibe is very jungle chic with open air seating, slightly covered by large leaf structures. Lots of candles and mood lighting. The menu offered quite the diverse selection of food options with a focus on traditional but elevated Mexican flavors. We started with some signature cocktails - my husband the mustachio whiskey drink and I had the wildfire. Both were perfectly mixed with great flavors. I will note the wildfire was more tart than spiced and did come with a fun flame element (sadly no pic). Also of note, the passionfruit that is used in this drink is a local fruit that is far more tart than other passionfruit you may have experienced. If you like a tart refreshing drink, this is your pick. We shared many dishes - the first was the pork rind with street corn dip. WOW. The pork rind seasoning was absolutely delicious and the serving size of street corn was epic. So rich, so delicious. We also shared the fried avocado - truly, the local avocados are heaven sent and the pumpkin seed purée was perfectly developed and spiced. Next up, larger dishes included the corn ravioli - this was so rich, and swimming in delicious truffle flavor. The raviolis were huge and there were 6 of them. The foam and nest elements while very pretty were also equally delicious. Not something that I often say when it comes to foam on plates. Finally, we had the shrimp main - I cannot put into words how amazing this dish was. The sauce was spicy, garlicky, and clearly developed over many hours. You could taste the time put into this. The shrimp were so tender the heads and tails just fell off. It comes with a side of bread and you will want to soak up every drop of this sauce with the toasted bread. If you are looking for elevated local flavors that have been carefully and meticulously curated then you must have a meal at WILD.

What a great experience. We were in Tulum this past week and were staying at Nômade. We had heard a lot about Hartwood and thought we would try it. Taking taxis is such a pain in Tulum and quite frankly a rip off. We accidentally wandered into Wild for drinks one evening and decided to come back the next night for dinner. Leslie was our bartender both nights and was truly a joy of a human. She makes the best drinks and is easily a major part of our excitement. The food here is so thoughtfully made and really takes you by surprise on the unique flavors. We had the oysters which blew our minds. This was followed by the salmon and octopus which both blew us away. We ended our night with a fruity parfait (sounds simple but is so complex). I never review this much but felt I just had to say how much we loved it. I would go back to Tulum just to eat here. The staff are all so friendly and informative. They time your meal perfectly so you can enjoy the entire experience. They also have a 9 course tasting/pairing menu which i was was torn between but the Al a Carte was superb. Maybe next time. I'm sure Hartwood is fabulous, I may not ever know. Thanks for one of my top 5 dining experiences.

Most of my stars are for ambience and service. I wasn't a fan of the food. Something just seemed off for a fancy place. We kind of left feeling kind of ripped off. Would not return.

Getting here (3/5): Reservations via OpenTable, easy access. The desk is located inside and not easily visible. Stairs to restrooms. No street Parking nearby, lot which is a block away is paid. Ambience (4/5): Typical tulum, easy dark ambience, soft lights. Helps put one to ease. But animals roam free, like cats or dogs so a bit unnerving if you're afraid like me. Food (4.5/5): Honestly, delicious and well concieved. Lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options. We got the blue corn triangle pastry with squash, shrimp ceviche, beet salad and chocolate. Shrimp ceviche was the epitome of creativity, with the tangy jellied layer on top which was insane. Chocolate dessert was very sweet though individual elements like hoja Santa ice cream and dulce de leche semifredo were good. Beverages tasted ok, but really mild. Feel overpriced as not enough mixology. Service (5/5): can't fault since they're on top of their game. They have a 18% tip baked into the bill. They do however confirm if that's ok. Final takeaway (4.1/5): This is the best food in tulum hotel zone from creativity, flavors, and service.

We went here for dinner yesterday. The setting was gorgeous among the jungle, but we did see a massive raccoon walk by. Overall, he was harmless but kept me on edge a bit. I ordered the focaccia and the ravioli. The focaccia was just bread and 3 butters. The "focaccia" was just toasted bread - it was nothing special. The ravioli was so overly buttery - I couldn't enjoy it. The corn gave it a nice texture, and we asked for hot sauce which helped break the buttery flavor. Overall, I was kind of disappointed. Service was as expected for Tulum - not spectacular but not terrible.

Totally chill vibe, nice background music, earthy feel with lots of vegetation and open air seating. Loved Bianca, our server. She helped guide us thru the menu and goodness were we ever happy! Focaccia bread with select butters and the huitlacoche ravioli was out of this world!!! Then sea bass plus I had the Cochinita pork belly. Tremendous! A nice Sauvignon Blanc to keep things light. Fruit, nuts, meringue and coconut ice cream. What a meal!! Loved every bite and every minute!

The ambiance was absolutely incredible. We felt like we were having dinner in a fairytale, and we soaked up every moment. All of the dishes and cocktails were curated with care and precision, with such a vibrant and delicious menu. Some highlights for us were the ravioli starter and the beet starter. The ravioli is stuffed with a growth from corn that tastes like truffle and it was absolutely phenomenal. The beets were amazing too, very fresh and had a fun take. The churros that closed out our meal were delightful too, they were well balanced, and had a delicious chocolate sauce and ice cream pairing. Make sure to try a cocktail, they have a very creative and vibrant cocktail menu. Take your time here, enjoy the service and the food, and take in the beautiful surroundings!

How do you give a place more stars? The service is top notch and the FOOD, the food is to die for! We went with the 9 course meal and pairing. It was absolute perfection! Honestly, this meal was to die for. If you want to get something off the main menu, I would go with the ravioli or prawns. MOUTH WATERING! Let's not forget the romantic vibe of this place. It's perfect for a couple or a group. Just come and enjoy!

As I am not interested in partying, the path of experiencing Tulum was by visiting some listed in Michelin Guide restaurants. Most of them are overpriced for general narrative of expensive destination and Wild is not exception. The question is what you get in return. Wild looks nice, the reception is warm and girl at reception genuinely tried to be helpful. Beware, this place is mosquito paradise. We have not experienced so much bites in any other Tulum location than in Wild. However, nice lady on the reception is natural born fumigator and she bunt lot of copal that spred pleasant smoke accross the restaurant. That kept misquitos away, but still mosquiotos' bites signified the evening substantially. The waiter was either slightly tired or not invested into serving (as in other places), but well, nothing to complain, just no magic. Food was as expected, nicely presented, fresh, tasting good. For any standard restaurant this would be highly praised, just no magic. However, for one of top priced places, it was missing that wow effect that elevates senses to metaphysical realm. Beats as appetizer, sibas for the main course and coconut fruit cake are all good choices, shrimps cooked in Yucatan style sauce is also quite tasteful. Sparkling water was exceptional. Nothing to complain, except it is not something to remember. Wild will charge you 'recommended' 18% tip over the full amount of check without asking. That's rude and put the place immediately to my Black List, because of that 1-point rating. The waiter who knows that he will grab you from your hard earned money without dedication to earn it, well, this is the result. Bad if this is restaurant's policy, not just a waitor's own initiative. All in all, no reason to waste time and money at Wild. It is good, but there are good choices around, as well. Nothing under thr Sun gives this place a special right to impose tips just because they exist. All in all, my warm recommendation is to avoid Wild, except if a little bit of waitor's indifference, mosquitos bites and good, but unexciting food is your thing. If you prefer to eat in selected restaurants, there are more then dozen of them in Tulum (incl. Michelin Guide listed).

This restaurant is WILD!! The setting reminds me a little bit of Arca but the food is completely different. You can definitely feel more modern approach to the food made by chef Norman Fenton (known for his great work at Schwa in Chicago). The whole food presentation of food and drinks makes this space an awesome experience, an upscale in a jungle. We had a great server who made our visit so enjoyable and the service all together was top notch but lets talk about food :) No MAMMES! drink--if you love Mezcal this is your drink and the presentation us spectacular. You get it on the tray with burning coal and copal to infuse. Tomato Tartare---it was hard to believe that you can make such a tasty and complex tartare from tomatoes. Perfect starter, refreshing, and light. Ravioli with truffles--this dish is a must. Not only that demonstration is magical but the taste is lingering long time after eating this dish. We loved it!! Grilled octopus--we are octopus lovers and take it everytime it is available and this one was top notch. Addition of squid ink was great and tenderness of octopus itself was perfect. Campeche prawns--those are the best prawns I have eaten in TULUM, no questions asked :) Catch of the day--that was the weakest dish only because the fish was on the dry side, everything was good, the flavors were there but it would be ideal if the fish was more tender. Wild is definitely worth a reservation when visiting Tulum, there is no regrets :)

Loved this place!! It's far down the beach road and we went the first night were in Tulum. If it's the weekend, anticipate leaving an hour or hour and a half early! We were 30 minutes late, but they were able to accommodate us! Great service and the ambiance is so beautiful. Moody, peaceful, and serene -- this spot is wonderful for date night or to enjoy an amazing meal. We opted for the nine course meal and it was so tasty. The drinks were wonderful too!

I've been wanting to come here and finally came for dinner with a friend. They have LOCAL, ORGANIC, food!!! Amazing Yucateca style menu. I got the catch of the day and my friend got the pork belly.

Tourist trap! Waited 35 min for a drink, waited over 40 min for a small appetizer dish. Then waited another 30 minutes for main entrees, order octopus if you like eating a fishy flip flop. Servers seemed stressed and keep apologizing for the waiting. All the tables kept looking at each other thinking how much longer are we going to wait. Left hungry and angry.

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Wild, especially because we had such a greater waiter in Augustin! Even though we started our tasting menu in pouring rain, Augustin was really accommodating and moved us to a dry area so that we could fully enjoy our meal. He also gave us bug spray and a glass of Moscato to celebrate our anniversary! Overall we thought the tasting menu was well worth it, and our favorites were the ravioli, octopus, pot belly, and the catch of the day. The desserts were also wonderful! If we ever come back to Tulum we'll be sure to pay another visit to Wild. Special thanks to Augustin for making our night a memorable one!

So many wonderful things to say about Wild. From the staff, the food, the service, and the atmosphere! We were lucky enough to have our wedding here, the ceremony and the reception, and we are so happy we did. So many of our guests said it was one of the most unique and fun weddings they have ever been too. The jungle scenery and greenery is originally what drew our eyes to this venue. Then we tried the food and it blew our minds, every dish was perfect and unique. The staff and service was also some of the best in Tulum. The entire team went out of their way to make sure we had the best day ever. Whether you are looking for a dinner spot or looking for a wedding venue, Wild is your spot!

Wild has been our absolute favorite meal in Tulum so far. We did the 9 course tasting menu and every dish was impeccable. Service was wonderful with thorough explanations of each course. I provided the roughest of labels in my photos but you can view the menu online for further details. I can understand other reviewers complaints about slow service but ours specifically seemed great. Passionate wait staff. An absolute treat. Do forgive my iffy photos :). 10/10 would go again.

My husband and I had our welcome cocktail at WILD and couldn't have imagined a better way to welcome all of our wedding guests to Tulum. The food was incredible, the drinks were delicious, the service was spectacular, and the ambience was perfect. As animal lovers, we especially appreciated that WILD has local animals it takes care of and provides safe spaces for. That extra touch made this incredible space even more magical. Leading up the event, the owner was so flexible, communicative, and friendly. She really brought our day together in the best way possible. We can't wait to be back soon!

I had the pleasure of experiencing wild restaurant in Tulum last night. I had an amazing time, the atmosphere and energy in this restaurant is quite amazing. The service was exceptional and the food simply exceeded expectations. I came in with a large group, the restaurant offered us a special where we were able to taste their most popular dishes family style. I highly suggest this option if you are visiting Tulum with a large group. The goal of wild is to create global food influence with local foods in Tulum. I started my experience with the fleur sauvage, a delicious cocktail made with Prosecco and St. Germain. I highly recommend for Prosecco lovers. Appetizers followed which included the beet root salad and Michoacán avocados guacamole. The main courses included the whole fresh fish of the day, the grilled octopus and the beef short rib. Everything was so beautiful and the flavors paired very well with one another. The presentation blew my mind. We finished our experience with churros with 7 spices and chili chocolate dip. I highly recommend Wild restaurant.

This place does have beautiful ambiance and fun jungle vibes. Unfortunately the service and food is not worth the heft price tag. We got a few things to share, all of which came luke-warm to cold. The owner explained why this was and it's meant to be so based on the consistency/process of each dish. The taste was still good for each, but I wouldn't go back for any food we tried. The taco dorados were cold shells with cold sweet potato filling (probably my least favorite and unexpected)... The ravioli were ok but very small and only 6 to a dish. The prawns were ok, but again not enough food. The grilled bread accompanying the prawns was my favorite... they did charge us for extra bread. The drinks, we all had the no mames (a mezcal and grapefruit delight), are delicious! The price for splitting 3 second courses and 3 drinks ended up being around $150 which was quite expensive especially since we were all still hungry by the end. I'd recommend for a drink, but go elsewhere for dinner or maybe try some different mains.

This is hands down the most underrated dining experience in Tulum. The food was EXQUISITE. Sometimes when I'm in Mexico I feel like I'm having the same flavors on repeat. But nothing on this menu did that. The fried avocado with some sauce made out of pumpkin seeds- crazy good that we ended up ordering a second one. I had 2 cocktails- some margarita that couldn't have been more perfectly prepared and presented; and their version of a French connection that had every flavor I love exploding in my mouth. Whether you like pork belly or not try the pork belly it was perfect. And OH MY GOSH there was this corn soup with a stuffed pasta in it that my words really can't do it justice. That may have been my favorite. The service was so lovely I could cry. The woman that owned the place Is just amazing- so impressive what she's created. The whole staff was such good energy. I really loved how not commercial it felt in there- I could hear my friend talk and wasn't being handed a sparkler every 2 minutes over too loud 2012 aviici being played lol.

This is a bohemian-elegant outdoor spot a bit south of the main strip on Tulum Beach. I started with the Mustachio cocktail. It's a bourbon cocktail. I felt that while the drink had a pleasant balance of flavors, it would have been better with more bourbon. The flavor of the bourbon did not sine through. The restaurant was too dark for my phone to take good pictures. I started with the cured Sea Bass 'aguachile. The fish was excellently smooth on the bite. The combinations of flavors in this dish was excellent. As my entree ordered the short rib. I don't approve of short rib that isn't braised. The meat was good, but still had more chew and toughness than a short rib should. The meat was nevertheless cooked to a nice medium rare and had a strong, but not bitter char.

Um.. drinks are AMAZING. We didn't get any food so I can't speak to that, but we got three delicious drinks. We got the El Mustachio, Circo Loco, and Hayaté. Best one was the Circo Loco, it had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The main liquor is Ancho Reyes which our bartender gave us to try before we ordered the drink. It's made with a Chile pepper that gives it that spicy kick at the end. Delicious. Afterwards I'd say Hayaté, my boyfriend says this one was his favorite overall. It was super refreshing with the basil and also had a kick of spicy. Finally El Mustachio which was really smokey and had a complex taste. All three drinks were very interesting and worth the $300 pesos each. They were all very unique and having them felt more like an experience.

Wild has very good food and the service was excellent! It's towards the end of the strip but it's worth going to for sure. You have to try the prawns, the sauce is spectacular!! I wish I could bottle that sauce up and take it with me it's outstanding! The restaurant is lovely with lots of tables, a cute bar, etc. Will definitely return!

My friend and I decided to change our dinner plans at the last minute and ended up booking a table at Wild, which was pretty close to our hotel. The restaurant lives up to its name with tables scattered throughout lush greenery and palm trees; it was really pretty! Our server was great - super nice and attentive but not pushy. My friend and I shared a couple dishes to start: the crispy avocado and a special that night, some sort of corn ravioli. I absolutely loved the avocado - it was so fresh and tasted great with the pico. The corn ravioli were different from what I expected but had very interesting flavors. Not sure if I'd order again but was glad I got to try them. For my main, I went with the al pastor dumplings, while my friend had the prawns with chorizo. I thought both were absolutely delicious. We didn't try the cocktails or desserts, instead sticking with wine, but after reading some of the other reviews I think I'll have to check out the cocktails on my next visit. Wild was a bit more under the radar than some of the other restaurants on beach road in Tulum, but I'm so glad we got to try it!

The MOST unreal food and cocktails. This place is a must stop if you are in Tulum. Monica made us the most unique and delicious cocktails off menu when asked and holy hell did she deliver! The flavor bomb that is happening between the drinks and food is out of this world! Do yourself a favor and come, sit at the bar and get yourself the most amazing food and cocktails around!

Great service. Very nice & attentive staff. Pretty set up, very tropical!. The food is pretty tasty! The fried avocado was delicious! Drinks were okay. Keep in mind that it is almost at the end of the road and the middle of nowhere so there is mosquito & bugs. There was what I believe to be a raccoon by our table! Understandable because of the location! However i did not like that they have cats! Cats were under our table while we were eating!

One of the best dining experiences in Tulum or anywhere for that matter. The food and presentation are other-worldly. The drinks are phenomenal and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Everything we ordered was a 10/10. I'd highly recommend the Shrimp Aguachile, Crispy Avocado, and the House-Made Sourdough Bread. I definitely will be coming back!

I'm not one to write Yelp reviews unless something is life changing and I feel like everyone needs to experience it. To anyone that comes here, you NEED to try the Huitlacoche ravioli. It is NEXT LEVEL and unlike I have ever tasted before. Seriously can't get over it. Not to mention the beautiful ambiance of this place, the great service, presentation of all the dishes as well as the cocktails. We also ordered the salmon ceviche and the crispy avocado, which were really tasty as well. Def a must try place when in Tulum!

Simply Amazing! I had a fantastic meal here which my server Javier made especially memorable. The restaurant is a bit further away than the 'main strip' of restaurants but well worth the trip. The chef has a background from a Michelin Star restaurant in Chicago and it definitely shows in the cuisine. I will return again and again.

Amazing dinner spot in tulum!! We had our rehearsal dinner here and the whole team was amazing. Beyond excellent food, service and ambiance. We're still talking about it! The team at Wild is fantastic. Highly recommend for any dinner in tulum or a special occasion event!

Karen and her team at WILD are absolutely incredible. We had our wedding reception at their restaurant in November and everything about it was perfection. First of all: Karen single-handedly saved our wedding planning when things started to go downhill with our original reception location. We zoomed with Karen and her team and she reassured us we could salvage this wedding and she exceeded our expectations. She hooked us up with an incredible wedding planner who made the whole weekend everything we could have wanted and more. As for the food: all our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. Each course was so beautifully plated: easily the best food I've had at a wedding. The location is stunning and the perfect jungle disco backdrop for our event. They made our dance floor under the palms and lit it up magically. Thank you so much to Karen and the whole WILD team, we love you!

I had my welcome party for my wedding here in April for about 50-60 people and it was AMAZING. Not only is the food delicious (my husband and I have eaten here more than once), but the ambience is spectacular, the drinks are amazing, and the staff, including Karen the owner, are so great to work with and know how to host the best event. Everyone had such an amazing time here and I cant wait to return! I would 100% recommend WILD for an event, wedding, or any kind of party. And if you are coming just for dinner, try the tasting menu, its great!

Lovely and peaceful setting. Circo Loco drink was sweet and tart and exceptionally delicious. Pisco drink was really good too. The beat dish sounded boring in the description, but was actually quite interesting and very delicious. Ravioli were OK. The octopus dish was fantastic - cooked perfectly and very generous. I just wish they had included a little more of the greens with the dish. Fish of the day was very good. I wish they had a couple more vegetable options. and more gluten-free. I really wanted to try the fried avocado, but unfortunately it has gluten. Prices were very high.

Beautiful setting. The flavors of the dishes were very good and the presentation beautiful but the octopus was very poorly cooked. Super rubbery. Service also left something to be desired. The server acted impatient for us to order our meals but then never returned to the table after food was dropped leaving us with empty drinks and 2 of our party so unhappy with the meal we did not eat it. I would go to one of the numerous other restaurants in the area.

Excellent food and the jungle ambiance was amazing! The salmon ceviche and tres leches were favorites! And best of all, Agustin took excellent care of us and was attentive and very helpful!

The name says it all. This place is past the main strip in Tulum. It's tucked away amongst the jungle, it is filled with mosquitoes, & there was a horrible smell like sewage wafting through the restaurant the entire time we were there. The selection on the menu is pretty small but they had nice drink options. The food took a while to come out but once it did it was ok but nothing was hot. I was with other friends and no one was happy with their entire meal. I hope they can improve on the above issues but I wouldn't dine here again.
