Stopped into Tulum when I was passing through town on the basis of these Yelp reviews. Glad I did. Tulum isn't visible from the freeway or in a prominent strip mall, so you'll probably want to rely on your smart phone to direct you to Tulum. I got the Cancun Bikini $6.99, which I liked a lot. I was skeptical of red cabbage in a burrito, but overall I was very impressed with this item. I really respect places that take the care to offer unique offerings rather than just standard options you can get anywhere. This place has a unique perspective on Mexican food that it wants to share with you, it isn't just someone throwing together a menu unthoughtfully to match every other Mexican restaurant in the US. I am looking forward to trying the Cozumel Burrito next time I pass through! Other pluses: they had a salsa bar (which I always love), many vegetarian options predominantly advertised, free small chips and salsa with most meals (maybe all?), and very good bottled beer from Kona Brewery (Kona makes great beer and Tulum Fresh stocks it to set their restaurant a part, so you should be sure to try it). The place is very clean and a lot of thought has been put into decorating the place, but I still wish they had tried to be more restaurant-y and less fast food-y. The place has a real fast food vibe; not like Taco Bell or McD's but similar to higher end fast casual places like Baja Fresh or Chipolte. read more

Great, Fresh Food! Always great My go to place for Mexican food! Tulums staff always helpful and very fast service

Tulum if a wonderful and delicious restaurant. The employees are always nice and the food is always spectacular. It is one of my family and I's favorite restaurants, and by far the some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. read more

Great food. Quick service. Love the chicken nachos! Wish they were a little clearer on allergens found in their menu.

One of my favourite place in Jackson. Very friendly people and can provide some recommendations too. It's simple place with interesting decor - remind me of a beach restaurant. The menu - many varieties and each they make it pretty unique and shows some creativity compare to typical Mexican restaurant. Tamale has great flavor although the corn meal is too thick / much for me. If they adjust the ratio between the corn meal and meat, will be much better. First time has chunky guacamole dip / salad which normally creamy. Salsa condiments with several varieties and heat level. All complimentary and self serve. All in all, I would recommend for those traveling in the area and looking for Mexican food. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your family cuisine. read more

Great spot for fresh food in the Jackson area. Only thing not fresh is having to leave such a fresh place!

Great food, large portionsand it is so fresh. Salsa bar was ok, not great but tacos were on point. Will definitely go back

It was ok. I would not recommend the beef, though. My husband got shredded beef and I got carne as ads. Mine was cubes of beef that tasted boiled. His tasted like pot roast. Neither was seasoned. It's fast food. They bring you chips and you select your salsa. You order it at the counter. You don't have to tip. Fast in and out. Cheap beer. read more

Oh. My. Gosh. While this restaurant isn't in the nicest part of town and you order at the counter, it was some of the best Mexican we've had in a long time! Being from Texas we would frequent this place if we weren't just passing through. I had the grilled Baja shrimp tacos and they were absolutely delicious, fresh ingredients, perfectly grilled shrimp and their tomatillo salsa is some of the best I've ever had! It came with rice and beans which were also very good! My husband had the shredded beef tacos and said they were the second best he's ever had in the country! They offered a complimentary salsa bar, which was awesome and it was sooooo cheap! We were stuffed, very satisfied and spent like $20 for all that food and 2 beers! read more

Very yummy Mexican cuisine! Loved the burrito I got and would definitely recommend! All the staff was helpful

Are usually love this place and the service is usually really good but tonight was very different. I went through the drive-through and the guy at the window was extremely rude. It's really not a way to treat your customers. Not sure I will be back. This was the carriage House location. read more

Food is good, but too bad the service is bad. I would go into a long rant about the customer service, but find out for yourself. Be sure to not talk About your customers in Spanish...because some do speak and understand it. read more

Great salsa bar and shrimp tacos were very good. This is not just fast food, it's fresh food done quickly. The service was a pleasant surprise, they were very helpful and attentive to our needs. read more

The place looks like a converted fast food restaurant. Was greeted warmly. You order like a fast food but the food is better. Clearly home cooked. I ordered the Fresca tacos and they were well done. It comes with rice and beans and chips and salsa. All for less than 7 dollars. Recommended for vegetarians. read more

Tulum takes you to a far off beach if you let it. The food is so good!! Where do I even start? Fish tacos.. great! Chicken enchiladas are superb. But personally, I love their chicken and rice bowl with added queso. They use chunks of seasoned chicken instead of shredded. It's delicious! Their tamales are great too. Their queso is the best in Jackson in my opinion. They have a salsa bar with about 6 or more salsa options.. something for everyone! This location offers a drive-thru which is convenient for travelers right off I-40 or for a quick grab and go dinner. They also have a nice patio you can enjoy on a beautiful day. There are lots of Mexican restaurants in Jackson.. but Tulum is one of the best! You won't be disappointed. Plus, I like this location because it is the original. read more

Fantastic inexpensive Mexican food. In Jackson, if you want delivery, there is a site called "My town to go" who will deliver to you for around 3 bucks. Tulum will deliver to you if you spend $50.00 or more. Very tasty food! Highly recommend. Free chips & salsa, too. yay! read more

Love this place food is always amazing!! Staff is always nice!! Definitely recommend for anyone who wants authentic Mexican food!

I have been in Jackson, TN for a week and this is now my go to place. The salsa bar is a nice touch if you done in. The salsas are excellent! I have had burritos, tacos, and all the sides and it is all delicious! You know it is authentic when a majority of the customers are Hispanic! The place has a nice fun and relaxing atmosphere and outdoor seating. I will eat here anytime I work in Jackson! read more

Chunky Guacamole waJumbo Beef TamaleCame Asada Fajitas just all around amazing food....

I like the place! A lot! But there isn't really much that sets itself apart as "Mexican". Seems more like a Tex Mex kinda place. When I think Taco, Mexican style taco... I think meat, cilantro, onion and lime. read more

Love Tulums great service, price, and food all in one place! Tamales are great with good flavor that drives your taste buds wild! I would definitely refer this place to everyone! read more

My husband and I took a short road trip to Jackson,tn from Memphis. According to yelp Tulum mexican restaurant was the place to eat. They are exactly right it was fresh and delicious.

What does "fresh" mean to Tulum? I ordered one day with my dog in the vehicle and for him I asked for a chicken breast. They told me they didn't have any. I decided I would order that from somewhere else, but I still ordered a chimichanga. He asked if I wanted chicken, shrimp or beef. I told him since they were out of chicken I would take beef. He then told me they had chicken. I said I want a chicken break and a chicken chimichanga. He said they didn't have chicken breasts. Loving a good game, I explained to him that he was out of chicken and I was only left with shrimp and beef. It go to the point he was merely frustrated until his face was red. I like the food, don't get me wrong. Mexican food is all the same, basically, but there's is a little better. Anyway, I later saw an employee at Sam's buying large quantities of pre-shredded, pre-seasoned chicken. Hmmm... Again, what is fresh? read more

Very underwhelmed. The chips were stale and my shrimp tacos were average. The salsa bar was nice but again, nothing out of the ordinary. Horchata wasn't spiced or didn't have enough cinnamon for my taste. read more

The cook thought it would be funny to sabotage my take-out order by putting a Lot of bacon in my vegetarian enchiladas And the bean and cheese burrito. Then my son said there wasn't much meat to speak of in his Beef burrito all total for this sabotaged meal that couldn't be eaten $30 . I differently will not be going back. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Jackson. They use flavorful fresh ingredients. Service is fantastic. It is one of the healthier options in town. I love the chicken Baja tacos. The fresh salsas are also great as well as the mango tea. The menu is extensive so there is something for everyone. Lunch time seems to be there busiest time. Dinner on week days appears to be a bit quieter. read more

On July 11 I ate lunch at the restaurant. Three hours later I got deathly sick. After being sick 5 days I called the restaurant twice and left my contact info just to see if anyone else had become sick that day. I never received a return call. Poor customer service. read more

Is there enough I can say about the magical concoctions streaming forth from this kitchen?! It's fresh, it's authentic, it's reasonably priced - it's burrito nirvana! If you're in the mood for some tacos, burritos, or other Mexican/SoCal fare, pop on in and be in culinary bliss! read more

Fish tacos are a must!! The chunky guacamole and fajita taco salad are also a fav. If you're wanting fresh Mexican food and not the same rushed service this is your place. read more

Traveling and saw good reviews. Decided to give it a shot. Hubby got the shrimp salad. I got shrimp and steak tacos. Both were good. Also liked the mango tea and reasonable prices. The weather was perfect for sitting outside. Our area doesn't have "fresh" style Mexican so this was a treat. Definitely worth the stop. read more

The food was really good but not the best I've ever had my entire life. I really loved the salsa bar and the extensive menu offerings. The biggest reason I did not give a five stars was because it wasn't super duper clean. Especially the bathrooms. read more

Fresh and delicious! We ordered fish tacos, chicken tacos, and beef tamale and everything was top notch. We will definitely be back when we are in town. read more

This place is awesome. So glad they added another location. Always clean. Always fast. Very crowded after church. Good for them.

This place is a gem. I ate here yesterday and may eat here again today before heading back to CA. It is FRESH MEX. I talked to the owner and they don't have a freezer... all ingredients are fresh! That's awesome, I love that. And you can taste it too; the food isn't overly greasy to hide the natural flavors. The interior is cool and very festive. Customer service is excellent; friendly and genuine. They have domestic beers for 1.50 and mexican beers for 2.00. Can't beat that! I'd come here just to hang and have beers with my friends if I lived here. Not only do they have vegetarian options, but you can easily get a vegan meal. The owner told me a vegan worked there at one point and helped develop the menu a little. The beans are lard free; the rice has no chicken stock in it. One happy vegan right here. And I assume the carnivores will be happy since none of their meat is frozen! You'd think it'd be more expensive for the quality of the food, restaurant and service, but it's not. Still very reasonably priced. I heard this place one a dining award for TN and I can see why; really great. Highly recommend. read more

We stayed in Jackson on a cross-country drive last year, and we were DYING to find a place to eat that didn't involve pre-cooked hamburgers or limp french fries...I checked Yelp and found Tulum, which was conveniently close to our hotel. I was hoping for slightly better-than-average fast food, but we were pleasantly surprised when we got back to our room and opened up our bags of grub - everything was delicious, everything tasted freshly made, and it was probably one of the best meals I've had while on a road trip. The La Merida salad was awesome, and the tortilla shell it was served in was one of the best I've ever tasted. The owner even took time to greet us personally (at the drive-thru window, nonetheless!!!!) and tell us a bit of the restaurant's history while we waited for our food to be cooked to order - super nice guy. Hope this place does extraordinarily well and that we get a chance to visit again! read more

The food here was very good. The service was good. My draw to Mexican is always the salsa, however I'm not a fan of the salsa here.

Come on Jackson. I drove to Memphis from Nashville and checked in here on the way there and the way back and I'm already the Duke!! Step your game up Jackson this place is too good to not show it love! So far I've tried the fish tacos, carne asada tacos, and the Cabo Catoche chimichanga . Everything has been excellent and very reasonably priced. The chimichanga was fried perfectly, had the right amount of spice and topped with a generous amount of fresh cilantro (my favorite). The fish tacos were also very good. Great flavor and crunch and the white sauce is amazing. All the entrees come with rice, beans, chips and salsa. They are good but nothing too special. Fresh food, great value, and they even have a drive-thru. Definitely my new pit stop between Nashville and Memphis. read more

Do not miss this place! Immaculately clean with friendly service. Exceptional menu variety and EVERYTHING tastes fresh and is obviously made to order. Love the atmosphere and music I hear when I'm there. I think about this food long after I've eaten it! Do yourself a favor and eat here. read more
