   We had the most incredible dinner at Wild Tulum. Every bite, every flavor was unreal. The presentation was impeccable and the service was 10/10. I’ve been to many restaurants in Tulum and this felt like a hidden gem. We will be coming back.

   This was my second experience at WILD Tulum. I have been trying all the Michelin star restaurants in Tulum and so far this is the best. It’s def better than Arca! Everything is very intentional but feels so relaxed! The food is fresh with a complex, sophisticated palate. I just love this place.

   What a disappointment! We have consistently had amazing meals in Tulum and Wild did not meet just a satisfactory meal. We had not realized that the restaurant is way past the busy Tulum thoroughfare and we arrived 45 minutes after our reservation time. The hostess was gracious and sat us right away in the spectacularly appealing restaurant. That is when the meal started going downhill. The service was shockingly inattentive. We asked a few times for water bottles, and it took way too long to bring them to the table. Our appetizers came and they were interesting and not particularly good. We did like our cocktails and a few at the table asked for a second but alas they never arrived. The wait staff never checked in on us. The entrees arrived and were at best mediocre. Then when paying the cheerful waitress suggested a 20% tip which we reduced to 15%. Also, be careful if you pay with American dollars. The restaurant advertised an exchange rate very different from what banks or our hotel offered (16 Mexican peso to $1.).

   Best meal I’ve ever had, hands down. Tasting menu is totally worth it!

   Rapturous dining experience! Adventurous and harmonious flavor combinations. Casual but intentional atmosphere and music just right for good vibes but clear conversation.

   Comida buena-normal, lugar muy tranquilo, precio bastante alto para lo que se ofrece. Como turismo nacional, no regresaría.

   My experience was fantastic. They had very good food and desert. I really enjoyed time there. If you like spices , you should try grilled octopus.

    We came here after an extensive search on yelp, eater, trip advisor and most importantly, Reddit. We thoroughly enjoyed the food but we got the 9 course dinner menu with wine pairings on our honeymoon. It was a special dinner and for the price, the reviews everywhere and seeing that it was a Michelin Star restaurant, we chose it as our main event/dinner. The food was great but the timing for the courses was incredibly off, we spent three hours total trying to get our courses and the wine pairings showed up way before our courses every time (sometimes 30 mins before and short pours leaving us with nothing for when the food actually arrived). Some courses did not include a wine pairing but that was not disclosed until the middle of the meal. We ate at every Michelin star restaurant in town on this trip but we only had this kind of issue here. Add to it that it was actually a very cold and windy night that made all of that wait even worse. The price was the highest of the trip (significantly, for the 9 course dinner with wine pairings was about $600 usd for two) and given the experience it was not worth it unfortunately. The food was delicious, so I would highly suggest to skip the $$$$ of the 9 courses and get a la carte dishes as it appeared to be way faster - everybody around us got their appetizers and mains, everything way before us. We brought up our concerns when the check came and the server could only offer us a shot of tequila to make it better because the restaurant wouldn’t allow him to adjust the price. He also offered to remove the gratuity from the bill which we declined because the employees there were obviously working hard and didn’t deserve to take responsibility for the failure of the restaurant to meet the standard we were expecting given the Michelin star etc. Could have just been a bad night but it was a Saturday and only about half occupancy. Bonus - the table was so small that my husband couldn’t fit his legs under without lifting it (5’11) :(
