From the OpenTable editors: This hidden gem in a millennia-old cavern brings you a magical and unique culinary experience. Beneath the stalactites, the restaurant features a high-end menu based on sustainable fishing and Caribbean dishes. Among the highlights is a golden tomahawk steak covered in 24-karat gold leaves. The romantically lit interiors invite you to relax while sipping mezcal or tequila cocktails. Complete your visit with a tasting of three mezcals from the Montelobos house.
Executive chef: Rodrigo Perez Guilliem

Yes, Alux Restaurante is ideal for a special evening: the candlelit cave, intimate alcoves and many guests celebrating anniversaries or proposals create a truly romantic setting.
Portions at Alux are generally satisfying, guests note dishes like the octopus were a nice portion, and one party said they were too full to make it to dessert.
Alux is laid out across multiple cave environments, a main dining room with many intimate caverns, private 'vault' or VIP rooms, plus a lounge and bar area for pre-dinner drinks or more casual seating.
Yes, Alux requires a reservation and guests report staff routinely ask about allergies and accommodate dietary preferences; reviewers also describe arranging VIP tables and celebration touches when booking.
Yes, Alux accepts children and families do dine here; reviewers mention a kids' menu/children's portions and describe staff accommodating young diners during family visits.
