Taboo Tulum - Buy Reservations

Taboo is quite an experience! I came here for dinner for a bachelorette party. As soon as we walked in we were impressed by how gorgeous this place is! With the loud upbeat music, beautiful decor, wind blowing by the beach, sparklers everywhere, this place feels like sensory overload. We had reservations and were seated right away. All around us people seemed to be having a great time. Many birthday parties, bachelorette parties, etc around us. You'll even find many people dancing on top of chairs and tables. Staff periodically brings out sparklers to celebrate various occasions. For dinner they first brought out a complimentary appetizer with pita bread, cheese, olives, peppers, etc, as well as tomato soup (I think?) which were both delicious! The items we ordered however were just ok. We tried the rigatoni alla vodka (350 pesos), spicy feta cheese (305 pesos), and Greek meatballs (290 pesos). We shared these among 3 of us which was more than enough food even though 2 of these items are listed as appetizers. The pasta was flavorful and delicious but it was cold (which I guess is hard to control in an outdoor setting). The meatballs were just ok but very filling. I did not like the spicy feta and we didn't finish it. Just seemed too dry and I wasn't a fan of the flavors. I also tried a bite of the camembert Envoltini which was cheese wrapped in flaky phyllo sheets with a hint of sweetness. I really liked it but would highly recommend sharing. Furthermore as is the case in many Tulum restaurants, they charge 140 pesos for each bottle of water. For some reason they brought 6 bottles of water for a group of 7 of us which ended up costing us $40 (US dollars) for water alone. In addition service is unusually slow here...it took forever for the food to come out, for them to bring out the check, etc. I did really appreciate the enthusiasm of the staff though. They were all incredibly nice and upbeat and really added to the energy of Taboo. I also loved how they brought out sparklers for our bachelorette. In addition, they had a violin player do performances throughout the night and he was SO INCREDIBLY TALENTED!! This was probably the highlight of the night.Overall Taboo is a really fun place for dinner. It's worth experiencing once but I wouldn't come back over and over again because it really is such a sensory overload and begins to feel like some form of a psychedelic experience after a while lol. Also the food is pretty average.

My friend called me in absolute horror at what happened here. She and her friends were having an amazing time, they get in the pool to dance, and my friend steps in glass in the pool. She called me with several cuts and pieces of glass lodged in her foot. While barely able to walk with bloody feet, management was neither urgent or caring. She and her friends did not break glass in the pool, and they responded as though she was not a victim of their lack of diligence.

If you feel like uncomfortable about being asked to buy drugs then I would avoid this place. I was asked at least 7 times in the matter of two hours if I wanted to buy coke, weed or molly. It became very annoying to keep saying no. Cute typical tulum decor and party vibe. Didn't eat just had drinks.

I decided to get dinner to celebrate my last night in Mexico and I’m so happy that I choose to go to Taboo. Everything was f**king fabulous. The food, atmosphere, the music and most of all the amazing service I received was phenomenal. Isco made the night even more special than I can imagine with the top service he gave me. I highly recommend. I will be back the next time I’m in Tulum!

Taboo is the complete opposite of what Tulum used to be and what made it wonderful. We tried to eat at Taboo, after seeing the reviews about how good the food was. This place had mediocre food and an atmosphere that was a nightmare; including about 20 Federalis that swept Taboo and the place next door and arrested drug dealers in the middle of the afternoon. Many of the people we talked to complained of being over charged or of racist practices from the staff. It’s sad to see this kind of vibe taking over Tulum. It’s just Cancun 2.0 now.

We went back to Taboo after an amazing experience in march 2020 just before corona got a hold of the world. Then the atmosphere was magical and so was the food. This time around some things changed. Tulum is overcrowded with too many people who think instagram is all the world news. It is beyond fun and expect to be in heavy traffic in the evening trying to reach the famous strip which everyone raves about. That said, waiters were super attentive and the food is still top notch! our cocktails were not the best ever but that just could have been bad luck. What is a shame is so many loud people trying to outsmart each other in looks and most of all noise........Let's hope that another place on the planet becomes a hot spot so Tulum can retain some of it's dignity........

I can't even speak on the ambiance and food because I was significantly burned by sparklers during a nightlife celebration. One of the waiters brought the sparklers to our table, attempted to hand me 2 of them, accidentally dropped one ON me and ran off while I burned on my arm, leg, and foot. I've never experienced such negligence from a restaurant. There is video evidence of the entire incident and I am pursuing legal action. I just wanted to make people aware of this situation.

I went to taboo the restaurant at night on my birthday last year & i had a great time so i went again this year. Idk what had happened within that year but THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE AS FUCK. We went to the restaurant, they were playing this horrible loud as hell techno music, everyone was standing on tables, people drunk about to knock my damn hookah over because they are running around twerking on each other, doing the limbo all by my damn table. Our waiter really sucked, did not bring us any water until the end. It took forever for our drinks to come. Gratuity is included so they don't give a fuck about their service & it showed.Fast forward to the next day i wanted to try out their beach club. OMG worse decision I've made this whole trip. #1 we paid to get in which was 140$ , half of that went to food & drinks. They sat us down at this table nowhere near the beach, hella fly's around us. Our waiter was once again horrible, took forever. We ordered 2 rounds of shots & my friend didn't know how much the shots were, they came up to 800$ in shots. The waiter didn't even suggest us getting a bottle he just let us buy these expensive ass shots which we didn't even know. Mind you it's my birthday so my friends are doing all the ordering with drinks trying to surprise me. Once again the music was so damn loud i left with a headache, we were right by this speaker & they were playing this horrible horrible techno music. Ugh. I was so overwhelmed with how bad the food & the service was i went to the bathroom & started crying on my birthday. I could not wait to pay the bill & leave. Once we paid the bill we walked down to the beach & had a much better time there & the music was much lower by the beach. I would not recommend this place if you are African American like me you would not like it trust it'll drive you completely nuts. I recommend BOK excellent service over there, music at a decent level where you can actually hear you friends talking. This place is too fucking LOUD! I hated it, worse experience ever. The only thing that was good there was their hookah

Food were okay but you could say I'm picky, spaghetti wasn't good at all. Their sushi were tasty, recommend! Prices are reasonable because it's a beach restaurant and bar. Services was 50-50 I would say. They gave us the feeling and the look like we were not able to pay for our food, something like that, which is pretty funny but off at the same time. In conclusion, it was not worth the hype. Also, if you sit inside the restaurant then you don't have to pay for your seats. However, if you want to sit outside or next to the beach the you would pay for your seat. You could check their seats price on their website. We stayed in the Main Street in Tulum, so we walked every night and explored few good restaurants with good service and food and drink. I came here because of the hype and the view, but to consider to return to this place, I rather not.

This place is so much fun! We came for dinner and first off the restaurant is gorgeous. Such a welcoming ambience. And the most fun dinner experience I've had. They fully encourage dancing on table tops during dinner while the live musicians play, waving sparklers to light up the place and the food was pretty great as well. Get that paella! Actually one of our favorite dishes was the free bread goat cheese and peppers everyone gets.

Not gonna lie after reading the reviews I was prepared to deal with some issues but that wasn't the case with my experience! We came here on a Friday in late January and my experience was easy and fun. Do make reservations before so you are not having to wait too long. A lot of people said to make restaurant reservations but we got the ones at the beach club. For this one, it's better to have a big group and pay for a table. For three of us we got a table in the back for 2500 pesos each or about $120. You are able to use half of that for food and drink. If you pay in pesos, the cost is lower than in dollars with the conversion. So in this experience I thought the food and service was amazing. My water was never low and I never had to wait to re order something.The food was delicious. The Greek salad was substantial and fresh. I loved the octopus tacos as well. My favorite was the coconut drink I ordered but honestly all the drinks were delicious. The atmosphere is so fun! They had live music and a good mix of music by a DJ. The body painting was really fun too all you have to do is pay what you think they deserve. The only downside were the bees everywhere trying to get to our sweet drinks.

Loved this restaurant so much when we went in 2019 that we returned a few times in the same trip. The atmosphere was over-the-top, but the food was incredible and reasonably priced.Recently returned and was very disappointed to see it had changed -- while the food was still great and the staff welcoming and attentive, the vibe has been taken over by EDM with a DJ playing loud music and hired dancers pumping the crowd to dance on chairs and tables on a Monday evening. No distancing or precautions and still in Covid-era. Sad, as it was a fave!

Food great, great sparklers and cake to cekebrate. Great ñarty vibe.My concern was being solicited st restroom door to buy cocaine so I could party all night. There were several people around observing in plain site, not sure if they were accomplises or employees but it was very uncomfortable and wanted management to know. Is this practice common and tolerated? I believe a security guard was close by but seemed to be normal. I was concerned for my safety and decided not to say a word at that moment.Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android

Good food. Quick service. Popular spot. Very accommodating. Great atmosphere. Loved the live music!!!! Very attentive waiters. Amazing weather. Con's: be cautious with the men and women drug dealers. They literally offer you drugs every time you go to the bathroom or go out to the beach area but that's like most clubs around the area. $$$. They also try extremely hard to serve you rounds of shots quickly or every hour so you can quickly buy another bottle. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely go again. Most people stay in their own private tables but you can socialize in the pool area.
