Filthy Animal Brings the Fire and the Feast!
Category Restaurants & Dining
Welcome to the fire and feast! Filthy Animal is now open! Whether you’re in the mood for a satisfying lunch or an intimate dinner, Filthy Animal delivers unforgettable flavors and an experience like no other.
The doors opened in March 2025, and it has been the talk of the town ever since. This is one of the newest culinary creations from Pretty Decent Concepts, the local team behind Wren & Wolf, Carry On, and Chico Malo. Filthy Animal is a play on jungle-primal themes mixed with smoke-kissed woodfire. Founder Teddy Myers aimed to wrap Yucatán heat and brute beauty into one roaring dining experience.
Pretty Decent Concepts is known for its high-energy spots with immersive themes woven into the space, flavor and design. Filthy Animal is no exception. When you first step into the restaurant, you’re transported into a jungle-inspired world, with bold murals, a life-sized jaguar prop, soft lighting, fine linens and the scent of wood and fire.
Available for lunch and dinner, the menu offers bold flavors and culinary excellence—ranging from dumplings and ceviche to wood-fired steaks, skewers and an assortment of sides, plus memorable desserts.
