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.

We had the best time tonight, on Christmas Eve. The food and service was excellent - note that the portion sizes are huge. We had the street corn, boing salad, fish of the day, mushroom risotto, chipotle cheddar mashed potatoes, and carrot cake (to go). I don’t know if tonight was typical, but the DJ spun the best mix ever, we were entertained by fire spinners, people dancing on the chairs and takes to music. It was such a fun evening and wonderful way to spend the holiday. My wife said it was one of her best experiences ever. And I agree. We finished the evening with the shisha service while listening to the music and dancing.
