Onyx has been operating in Tulum Centro since 2010, positioned on Calle Orión Sur in the heart of Downtown. The restaurant runs a Mexican and international menu built around fresh seafood, locally sourced ingredients, and creative presentations. The format shifts through the day: lunch and early dinner run in a relaxed, casual setting, while the evening transitions into a more energized environment with live music and DJ programming that extends late into the night. The price point is notably more accessible than the hotel zone, with generous portions across the menu.
The space is open-air with a bohemian aesthetic, natural wood accents, and lush greenery throughout. The daytime setup is calm and people-friendly, suited for lunch after visiting the nearby ruins or as a break from the town's main avenue. After sunset, ambient lighting, live music, and occasional performances including Mayan fire and dance shows shift the energy significantly. The venue connects to Obsidiana, a rooftop nightlife space across the street, making it a natural starting point for a full evening in Tulum Centro.
The menu centers on fresh Mexican seafood with international influences. Standout dishes include shrimp ceviche, coconut shrimp tacos, grilled octopus, and mixed fajitas. Signature cocktails include the LaLlorona, served with flaming rosemary. Gluten-free options are available. Portions are consistently described as generous. Service is attentive and personalized, with staff who guide guests through the menu and add interactive touches throughout the meal.
