Tulum Tacos & Tequila

I came here really excited after reading all the great reviews, and I’ll say upfront — the atmosphere is beautiful. Very chic, very Tulum vibes, and the staff were genuinely warm and attentive. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the setting. We ordered the esquites and it was probably one of the least enjoyable versions I’ve had. The birria tasted off and nothing like what I’m used to. We ended up getting the 8-taco platter to try a variety, but none of them were memorable. I’d come back for the ambiance and service maybe at the bar, but not for the food.

Tulum has been on my visit list and I'm glad to shift it over to my Coming Back list. We arrived without a reservation, but were promptly seated. Even at 6pm, the Friday night crowd was lively, filling the dining area with happy chatter and laughter. Too lively? Perhaps. The service was fast and helpful. We ordered nachos and yucca fries and they landed on the table before we were aware the order had been sent to the kitchen. The yucca fries were excellent. Light, crispy and very tasty. The chips were well above your standard norm. We enjoyed mushroom quesadillas, baja fish tacos and carne asada tacos, and finished with a flan we split three ways. All we'd recommend.

Tulum Taco and Tequila is a vibrant and lively spot! The tacos are beautifully crafted and full of flavor, and the drinks are just as thoughtfully made. Our bartender, James, was fantastic — super attentive, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about tequilas. He let us sample several tequilas and beers, which made the experience even more fun. James has great flair and charisma, and it really added to the atmosphere. Tulum was an awesome experience overall, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who loves tacos and tequila!

Five stars for the vibes. We tried a bunch of different types of tacos during the taco Tuesday deal. At the $5 price, they were good overall. We really enjoyed the barbacoa, baja fish, and buffalo cauliflower. The other ones were not as flavorful and a bit more dry. Happy with the experience.

Great atmosphere! James was fantastic. He served us with a smile and shared some helpful tips and reviews about the menu items. Everything he recommended was delicious. We really appreciated the attentive service and friendly vibe. I would definitely recommend this place!
