About the restaurant

Rosa Negra Cancún celebrates Latin American cooking on the edge of Nichupté Lagoon in the Hotel Zone. The menu moves from tacos and tostadas to ceviches, tiraditos, seafood and charcoal-grilled cuts, paired with Latin-inspired cocktails. Multi-level wooden decks face the sunset; later, the evening builds with a DJ, live bongos and fire moments.

I made my reservation ahead of time before traveling from the states. We were seated in a quiet separate chamber from the crowd for our honeymoon. Amazing experience. I always have to remember food in other countries is cooked with less salt that US. With that in mind, I would do the tasting experience again. The Zero Alcohol drinks were quite good as we do not drink alcohol. I loved hearing the small history of each tasting and the waiter was gracious in his answering of follow up questions. The cave also had a couple bats flying around inside chambers, a ritual table from the original Alux Tribe who occupied the cave and a small waterfall and “cenote”. We were encouraged to walk around and explore the cave after our meal. 5* experience
