    Awesome experience celebrating our anniversary with friends. We do wish they did the dancing in the evenings after 11:00pm still but overall it was still a great time! The food was good, the atmosphere was exciting, and the drinks were good. We had a great time!

    No complaints other than tables being way too close together. As a tall(ish) person 5’10 my legs were jammed uncontrollably on the table legs. Also, you can’t help but be subjected to listening to the parties on either side of you. I felt uncomfortable for the first daters next to me. We were the flies on their table, not on my the wall.
    Costera Cocina TulumResponded 7 days ago
