The passion fruit margaritas were incredible. They do have a kids menu and being on the beach was excellent for them to play while we enjoyed the ambiance. Our server was very attentive and the menu was fresh with a unique twist to each dish. Looking forward to our next visit.

Amazing experience at Ilios Tulum. The ambiance is what makes this place stand out from the DJ’s playlist to the personnel putting on the ambiance. The food is good but not the best we had in Tulum. In any case the experience was just great which makes this restaurant a must try in Tulum.
