The story
Crafted with passion, served with love
A Steakhouse on Mexico's Caribbean Coast
Auma sits along the Cancún highway in Chemuyil, a stretch of the Yucatán Peninsula where the jungle meets the sea. The restaurant has earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2023 — a distinction that speaks directly to the quality and depth of its wine program, and one that sets it apart in a region better known for beach clubs than serious dining.
Steakhouse Craft and the Wine List
The Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator is not handed out lightly. It recognizes wine lists that offer well-chosen selections across a variety of styles and regions, and it signals that Auma takes the pairing side of a steakhouse meal as seriously as the plate itself. For guests making their way along the Riviera Maya, that combination — prime cuts alongside a curated cellar — is a compelling reason to stop.
Worth the Drive
Auma's location on the Carretera Cancún places it within reach of travelers moving between Cancún, Tulum, and the smaller communities along the coast. As a steakhouse destination recognized for its wine program, it offers something genuinely distinct from the resort dining that dominates the corridor.
