Picture doesn’t really do it justice. Some of the best seafood I’ve had. Great oysters. Never had such big portions. Lots of fish for a good price. Tastes really well with the array of hot sauce they provide

We celebrated my birthday at La Negra Tomasa last night, and it was an absolute blast! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, especially towards our two young children. The food was phenomenal – every dish was bursting with flavor – and the drinks were equally impressive. But what really made our night was our server, Eric K. He was attentive, patient, and had a genuine enthusiasm that made us feel right at home. He offered fantastic recommendations that we all loved, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable celebration. Thank you, Eric, and La Negra Tomasa, for a perfect birthday dinner!

I love this spot! We stopped here for a snack and refreshment break after a long walk in the hot sun. We had Guacamole, papa's fritas, mango smoothies! + (something with tequila in it) were all amazing. The staff was incredibly accommodating even when it was busy. La Negra Tomasa is a heavy hitter when it comes to fresh and tasty cuisine and great bartenders. There must be some skilled chefs in this kitchen. I will come back here the next time I'm in Tulum. Gracias por todo!

We went to this place to try tacos upon a friend's recommendation. We tried different varieties like octopus, shrimp, and fish tacos. The shrimp taco was definitely the best, but the others were also quite delicious. This place is highly recommended for tacos. Before the meal, they served chips with a sauce, which I hadn't seen at other places in Mexico—it was a nice touch. The atmosphere was lovely, thanks to the garden design. We had to wait a bit for the waitstaff, but other than that, it was a great experience.

Is this the best seafood place in town or am I just high on chili and sunshine? Seriously the spicy seafood had me sweating the music had me vibing and that fried tuna taco had no business being so good. Catch me here again soon count on it

Fantastic food and service. The guacamole was one of the best. Must haves are the tostadas and aguachile. Marilyn, our server was sweet and attentive. This was my 2nd time back during a 5 day trip.

For was amazing. Atmosphere amazing. Server Franco was great. Drinks were great. Beer playerito was a local craft beer and it was great. The drink Cantarito was great. Best seat in the place is by the front in front of the bar. And the price was reasonable. Highly recommend the place
