Onyx Tulum: Open-Air Dining with Live Evening Shows

This open-air restaurant and bar sits on Calle Orión Sur, between Calle Andromeda and Avenida Tulum. Lunch and early dinner take place beneath a canopy surrounded by wood details and greenery. After dark, dim lighting, live music and cultural performances change the pace of the room. The crowd mixes tourists, dining groups and guests marking birthdays or other celebrations. It is set up for people who want Mexican and international food followed by music without changing venues.

Canopy Seating, Greenery and a Nighttime Shift

The design mixes open spaces with covered seating, earthy colors and natural wood accents. Tables at the front provide an al fresco view of the street during the day. The canopy keeps the dining area connected to the outdoors while giving the room a defined center. Ambient lighting replaces the daytime feel after sunset, when the space becomes louder and more social. Seating can work for a meal for two or for groups sharing several dishes and drinks.

The Onyx Restaurant Menu: Seafood, Tacos and Grills

The kitchen combines traditional Mexican dishes with international options, with a clear focus on seafood and grilled meat. Fish tempura tacos, coconut shrimp and ceviche with mango and lime cover the lighter side of the menu. Larger plates include grilled octopus, rib steak and flank steak with shrimp fajitas. Tacos pair marinated meats with corn tortillas, salsas and garnishes. Guacamole, nachos and vegetarian options add choices for a shared table, while parfait, ice cream and chocolate-based desserts finish the meal.

The bar serves tequila, Mexican beer, margaritas, mezcalitas and cocktails made with tropical fruit. La Llorona arrives with flaming rosemary, while the habanero margarita adds a spicy option. A Mezcal Mule combines mezcal, ginger beer and citrus. Some hot drinks and frappes are served in custom skeleton mugs. A typical visit runs from about 300 to 600 MXN per person, although larger grilled plates and extra cocktails can raise the bill.

Live Music, DJs and Mayan Fire Performances

The evening program is the stronger reason to choose a late table, as dinner shares the room with live musicians, DJs and a Mayan fire performance. Cultural dance shows and sparkler presentations also form part of the nighttime format. Music can move into salsa, and the open seating area becomes more energetic as the evening continues. Obsidiana stands across the street for guests who want to continue with rooftop cocktails and dancing after dinner.
