    It’s a good experience overall. Prices go accordingly to the food but coming from NY I think it’s a bit outrageous to charge already an 18% tip. Is not obligatory and it’s above the standard-15% that what is the average for tipping in Mexico. I really disliked it. I even witnessed an American guy asking to adjust it to 15%. Something to consider very seriously.

    Tora tulum is an experience in itself. Jungle themed decor with dimmed light. It is hard to see the menu but the staff helps by shining a light on the menu. The food was delicious we ordered Ora king salmon, toro, yellowtail, short ribs and three rolls. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The price of the food and drinks were expensive but it was worth it because this restaurant is considered $$$$.
