Came yesterday for the first time & they had a DJ outside spinning good mixes. We went to the front & was seated right away. Our server was Sebastian & he was super friendly, attentive & recommended us the goods. My favorite here was their enchiladas - red & stuffed with chicken tinga. It also came with a side of rice & beans. The pickled red onions that came on top was delicious as well. My daughter even loved it & she's super picky about her onions. Drinks were good, the michelada with the shrimps - fire. Paloma - not that strong for the price you pay, but it was still alright. Guacamole - my kids loved Sebastian recommended us the coffee to-go, super flavorful Overall good vibes, great service, good food Will recommend. read more

Our reservation to another place didn't work out for us so I called Tulum the afternoon before our holiday outing and the woman on the phone picked up promptly and noted they could accommodate a 12 person group at opening. This made it so seamless to reserve here. Our group got there at opening and our table was ready and most of the group was already seated when we got there. Drink orders were flowing as the waitress caught up to me and I got a cafe de olla. We browsed the menu and the more I looked the harder it was to pick one thing. I ended up choosing chilaquiles with a bandera sauce and carne asada as the added protein. The rest of the table got all different types of dishes from carne en su jugo to birria to omelettes. While we enjoyed each other's company sipping on our cafecito I enjoyed the ambiance of the space. Nicely decorated for the holidays. Since it was opening time it wasn't as loud as I imagine it can get in there. The sun did shine on the faces of those facing the windows which was not enjoyable for them. There was no way to cover the sun either since it was coming in from the top windows with no shade. My food came out along with the rest of the plates and we went right in to enjoy them. My favorite chilaquiles was covered in the white sauce. The red and green were good but the white sauce was my favorite. The carne was cooked well but I could taste it wasn't marinated or lacked flavor. I didn't get a knife to cut the meat so it was very difficult to enjoy a piece with my chilaquiles. It was hard to cut with a butter knife. I thought it would be a piece of steak but it was a piece of carne asada. Eggs were scrambled and cooked well. The whole plate was filling, had flavor, and was a good portion. The cafe de olla had a good flavor but a tad sweet for my preference. The space in here is a vibe. A fun place to enjoy large gatherings. I came for breakfast but will update when I come back to visit for dinner. Bathrooms are clean. Staff was welcoming and efficient in taking care of our group. Hospitality was a 10/10. Parking in the am was a breeze but at prime time I can see it being a complete nightmare so plan accordingly. I enjoyed my visit and will come back to check out the dinner menu. read more

First of all, the restaurant is beautiful inside. Definitely has a nice ambiance and appeared to have a second floor I did not get to see. We ordered the Camarones En Chipotle, Green Chicken Enchiladas, The Dinner Molcajete, and Carne Asada Fries. They even made a breakfast dish for my niece. Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. I highly recommend the Camarones, they were delicious! The servers were nice as well and seemed to be a family business. Would definitely recommend for a family, friend outing, work dinner, whatever! read more

Tried this place for the first time on a recommendation from a friend. Went early on a Sunday morning and tried multiple items on the menu. Everything that I tried was more delicious then the next and I was pleasantly surprised when the meal (4 plates & 3 drinks) came up to right about $100.00. I have been here multiple times since and I continue to find the food to be amazing! Everything is always delicious. And the price always tends to be right about $100.00. I have only been for breakfast, but will definitely be coming back to try the dinner menu! read more

Our family went here for breakfast and we had an amazing meal and experience! Our server, Sandy, was personable, great at making suggestions, and knew the menu to help us make our decisions. We had a little bit of everything: enchiladas, chilaquiles, carne en su jugo, buenos días desayuno, chicken nuggets, and huevos rancheros. The cafe de la olla was pretty good, too sweet for me, but overall good. The abuelita hot chocolate was very delicious! I only took a picture of my plate, but everything else looked and tasted so delicious, and the food came out in a timely manner! The restaurant itself is so beautiful with the Mexican decor, style, and ambient! The music was nostalgic when we heard some old school songs from our childhood! We'll definitely be back and we definitely recommend!! read more

My friend took me here after finding this spot on TikTok. This place is very Instagram worthy. Only reason I gave it a 3 star was because we waited quite a bit for our waitress to come back and take our order. We were seconds away from leaving after waiting almost 20 minutes. I ordered the mini birria pambazo, which was pretty good. But the consommé could use more flavor since it was bland. My friend ordered the quesabirria and she really enjoyed it. Honestly, I'd come back. read more

I was at Tulum a few weeks ago and had a great experience. My husband wanted to watch the America soccer game and I was craving a molcajete from Tulum They are my favorite at Tulum. But what did make our experience better was Juliana's customer service. The moment we stepped in the door she greeted us kindly and very welcoming. I can't say the same for the other girl working upstairs. However we ended up moving down stairs. That was the area that Juliana was working her services were over the top and that is why I wanted to make this review hopefully it gets to her. Thank you for making our experience great. Great food and great food! read more

Horrible customer service. Food was bland. Service was poor. Save your money go elsewhere.

Since they didn't do anything to change the interior of this place from the previous business this restaurant looks really nice. Been meaning to try this spot out for a while. The owners of this restaurant is very bold to open a Mexican spot in a more Asian dominant location. The service here is just ok. After I finish my beer it took them a while to ask me for another drink. And it was like only another table dining in. I end up ordering the molcajete dish that came with a variety of meats and also comes with a side of beans, rice and tortillas. The flavor was nothing special but the chicken and beef was extremely dry. You can tell the meat was already cooked and was just reheated. Hope this location do good but I definitely will not be coming back for food that is mid but prices aren't. read more

So we've always wanted to try this spot, and since it was a more chill Saturday night, due to Foodieland happening this weekend. The food was a 7/10. I had the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and double rice. The meal I had was good, but not great. I would have to try more of their dishes, to give a more complete assessment if their food is amazing or not. The service however was excellent! Very attentive, and attentive. The wonderful lady, Leelee or Lilly was super sweet and nice. I had a bite of the tacos our friend ordered and I'll have to say it tasted much better than my dish! That taco was a 9/10. Cool place to grab a bite, I'll be back to try more dishes. read more

Not sure why this place has such a bad reviews because we had a great experience. Came in on a Monday night and service, food, and aesthetic were all on point. Everyone in my party seemed to enjoy their food and I did as well. I would definitely come back. I had the tinga enchiladas with green sauce. Which were so good! Shredded chicken was juicy and flavorful, plenty of sauce on the enchilada, and rice/beans were good as well. read more

We tried a new spot for dinner in Vietnam Town called Tulum, a Mexican restaurant with such a wonderful vibe the moment you walk in. From the outside it looks huge, but inside the space is beautifully designed with two levels of seating, eye catching decor, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We started with the mango ceviche, which I really enjoyed. If you prefer something less sweet, I would recommend going with the regular ceviche instead. For our main dish, we ordered the molcajete and it was absolutely amazing. It came packed with seafood, chicken, and steak all simmering together in a heated stone bowl with melted mozzarella inside. The red sauce was rich and flavorful, and since the stone kept the dish hot the entire meal, every bite was just as good as the first. The tortillas on the side made it fun to eat like tacos and the flavors were out of this world. The only thing to keep in mind is that the food does take a little longer to come out, so be prepared for a wait if you are really hungry. That said, it was worth every minute, and while we were waiting we kept noticing other guests getting equally unique and sizzling dishes served in stone bowls. Tulum is such a fun addition to San Jose dining and I cannot wait to go back and try more of their menu. read more

Worst Mexican place. One should get sour when a Mexican restaurant in the middle of viet town! Too pricy. Menu is full of hamburgers etc for lunch. Too expensive. Charge for credit transactions Just wait and see. This place won't be there for long time. Should be replaced by a great viet or fusion restaurant. Chilaquiles are a joke. Please don't spend a penny on these read more

went on a Monday holiday, right before lunch & lucky enough for a party of 4, we waited no longer than 15min. They have upstairs seating, but did not see it, it seems a little small & tight inside. But I think they can accommodate your party (not sure on size) It's very cute inside, photo op fosh'o! The staff is very friendly, from the time you walk in, get seated & wait for service. Presentation with every meal that came out of the kitchen, while we were waiting for ours, was Nice cute & smelled yummy. They do sell beer that's not on the menu, you have to ask. Prices for the food, I think, was not too bad. I will be back to try some more items on the menu. Located in the corner, easiest way to get there, is by Walmart area. Lots of parking, but if there's nothing going on, you'll be fine. read more

We had a great experience dining at Tulum Mexican Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fun and lively--great music playing in the background (a bit loud, but still enjoyable). The food arrived promptly and was served piping hot, which I really appreciated. We ordered the Molcajete Platter and the Chicharrón con Guacamole--both were absolutely delicious! The chicharrón was perfectly crispy, and the guac was fresh and flavorful. The molcajete was packed with tender meat, grilled veggies, and rich, savory sauces--definitely enough to share between two people. Our server (Sorry, I forgot his name) was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and consistently checking in to see if we needed anything else without being overbearing. It made the experience even better. What I also loved is the location--right near the Super Walmart on Story Road in San Jose. After indulging in such a hearty meal, my husband and I took a stroll through Walmart to walk it off (highly recommend if you're too full like we were!). All in all, I'll definitely be coming back. If you haven't tried this spot yet, you're missing out. Fresh, flavorful food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere--Tulum Mexican Kitchen is a hidden gem worth visiting! read more

All the reels on IG look good, but it wasn't worth the hype. The atmosphere was cool, music isn't so loud you have to yell to have a conversation. Tables clean, but they do clean the seating with the same towel they use on the tables. I always bring wipes. We were seated right away, service was ok. They took our drink order, about 10 min later they took our food order. We ordered the Chilaquiles (bandera style), there was one layer of chips on half the plate (probably 12 chips) $18 seemed too pricey for the amount given. And we got El Trio $19, each item was about 3-4 oz, 1) Menudo has good flavor, no hominy or meat, only tripe & too much of it. It was a bit oily too. 2) Barbacoa good flavor too, but too much fatty pieces in it. I had half meat & half fat, not so appetizing. 3) Pozole, good flavor too, mine had more hominy than pork, that was a bummer. But loved the fresh tortillas, those were delish. read more

My friend and I have been seeing this place on every social media platform (great marketing) and have been wanting to try it. So, since we were in the area we stopped by. It was in a little shopping mall type of area with plenty of parking, we came on a Sunday and there was plenty of parking. It wasn't overly crowded but there were a lot of people inside, some celebrating birthdays so it was noisy but not terrible. We were seated right away, our drink orders taken right away. We did need several minutes to figure out what we wanted, the whole menu sounded so good! What a problem to have lol My friend ordered the asada fries and man did they look and smell so good I almost wished I had ordered them, until my enchiladas came out! The food was so fresh, great flavor. My only reason for the four stars instead of five, as some one who despises raw onions I wished it would have stated they came on top of the enchiladas so I could have asked for it without, luckily there weren't any inside so it was easy to pick off. We will definitely be coming back read more

Came in early and they weren't really busy. Was told they would get my table ready as they had many available upstairs. The hostess left and came back several times. Not sure what the delay was, or if she just forgot about me. But after about 10 minutes another worker asked if I had been helped and I told her the hostess said she was getting the tanke ready for me already but I wasn't sure what happened. She went to go check the status and came back immediately and told me the table was ready for me. Maybe the hostess got busy? But seemed like she did forget about me. After getting seated upstairs it took another 6-7 minutes for someone to come up to my table and ask if I wanted anything to drink in spanish. I had asked if she spoke English and she did. She took my order for the michelada and left. Two other parties got seated after me (including a party of four with two adults and two children , and another party that had four adults). I waited and waited and the table that arrived AFTER I placed my drink order with the children actually got their drinks before mine (which included one michelada as well) and their appetizer. My waitress still hadn't come back to get my food order. Eventually I got my drink and within another 2-3 minutes the waitress came up to take my order. I had to ask her again if she could speak English to me (I know i know, it's a Mexican restaurant but unfortunately I dont know how to speak spanish). Over all the service was slow, the waitress smiled and seemed nice but she kept speaking Spanish to me after multiple requests to speak English. I waited a long time while the two other tables seated after me got better and quicker service. I was pretty disappointed with the service overall and dont plan on going back. I definitely wouldnt recommend if you are on a time crunch like lunch time or wanted to grav a bite before doing something else because everything took so long. read more

Tulum Mexican Kitchen is an absolute gem! I had the tres leches French toast and it was out of this world; soft, rich, and perfectly sweet without being over the top. Truly one of the best versions I've ever had. I also ordered the café de olla, and it was the perfect cozy complement- warm, spiced just right, and so comforting. My friend had the green chilaquiles with steak and couldn't stop raving. The flavors were bold and vibrant, the steak was tender and perfectly cooked, and the whole dish was incredibly satisfying. She paired it with the horchata, which she said was the most authentic horchata she's ever had- creamy, just the right amount of sweetness, and beautifully spiced. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. We left full, happy, and already talking about what we're going to try next time. Highly recommend for a standout brunch experience! Oh... and customer service- chefs kiss! read more

Tulum, I will give you a 100%. 5 stars in not enough and I am not over reacting. My son and daughter brought me here for Mother's Day with my mother in law. It's so beautiful. Our server was Juliana and she was very kind and help us out with the menu. She was very polite the whole time and patient, we love people like her. I started my Mother's Day in a super beautiful place and the best part was the food. Food is tasty I congratulate everyone in charge of cooking. Food taste real good with hand made tortillas. I am coming back for sure. This is now my #1 place and I will bring and recommend Tulum to all my family and friends. Please keep cooking like this don't change it. read more

I've been begging my fiancée to come here because I saw their fried fish on instagram and I'm easily influenced lol. It's in a plaza with lots of parking which was a plus. We were seated quickly on a Monday at around 5pm and after that they started to get a steady dinner rush. The place is really cute with greenery everywhere and music playing. Service was nice. Food was honestly just okay. Guac wirh chicharon and chips 3.5: Guac was good. Chicharon seemed like it was reheated. It didn't come out hot, felt chewy and not super crispy. Seasoning was nice but didn't think it was made fresh. Some of the chips were also chewy like they weren't fried well. Carne asada fries 3.5: really tasty but not enough meat for my liking. The fries tasted like the frozen seasoned ore ida fries. Fried fish 4: this was my favorite dish. Really crispy and tasted good. I think they usually only do it for breakfast/brunch? So it was really nice they fired one up for me. A little pricey at $34. I think they only beer and wine drinks here. I was a little sad because I was really hoping for a margarita with dinner. read more
