Food is delicious. Fast and friendly service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great spot to stop for a drink. Or for dinner. Large menu and delightful options. We will be back for dinner. Sushi available too. Wow. It was delicious. Mezcalitas were in a super cute fish glass. Location is important. At Westgate. 2nd story above where the Lola was, before it moved. In the plaza with Desert Diamond arena entrance. Take the stairs or elevator. Escalators are still broken 7 years later. Westgate property management needs to get them fixed or put in additional elevators or stairs. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Tulum Mexican Restaurant at Westgate was so disappointing that I feel others should know. My husband went above and beyond to plan a surprise birthday dinner for my 31st birthday. He personally visited the restaurant OVER A WEEK in advance spoke with the manager, and made reservations for a group of nearly 20 people and selected the section for that group size to ensure everything would go smoothly. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, everything went wrong. We were seated and waited over 30 minutes without being greeted, offered menus, or even given water despite asking multiple times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant's air conditioning appeared to not be working, and with temperatures around 110° outside, it was unbearably hot inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. By the time we left, my hair and makeup were ruined from sweating. To make matters worse, while we were sitting there waiting, we received a text stating that our reservation had been canceled. The table we had reserved had been given away to another group. The waitress we repeatedly asked for water was extremely rude, and when we went to the bar ourselves just to get a drink, we still received no assistance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the chairs was broken and actually collapsed underneath my husband.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we tried to speak with the manager about everything that was happening, he simply threw his hands up and walked away. There was no apology, no attempt to resolve the situation, and no concern whatsoever for our group. What was especially telling was that even the guests seated near us--who ended up at the table we had reserved--were having service issues and had to get their own water. They were so frustrated that they wanted to walking out along with us, they didn't and I see they also left a bad review. I am so sad for them as well. I understand that things happen. Air conditioning issues, staffing shortages, and busy Saturday nights can be beyond a restaurant's control. What is in their control is how they treat their customers. Not once did anyone acknowledge the situation, communicate with us, apologize, or attempt to make things right. When you have nearly 20 people gathered for a birthday celebration on a Saturday night, you can't simply find another restaurant at the last minute. What should have been a special evening turned into an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience. The lack of customer service, communication, and basic hospitality was shocking. We left feeling ignored, disrespected, and completely let down. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun atmosphere, ok crowd for middle of week night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Salmon was over cooked and the Ribeye tacos were fatty. For $29 you got two tacos and they were served only with onions and a very small side of salsa ( like jam size). Severely over priced for no entertainment. I spent $62 for 2 tacos, side of rice and a beer. read more

This has become my new favorite restaurant at Westgate. We went for my birthday dinner and I have been here one other time in the past and it was great. It's a little more pricy than other places, but I will say that speaks to the quality of the food and drink. I had the tacos and they were great. Our server was amazing and the overall vibe is amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is beautiful and we will be back![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

VERY disappointed !!! Poor service, cold food, and over priced ! Waited over 30 mins for waiter, when asked about him was told he was on lunch break so we waited another 20 mins to get served by another waiter. She tried to help to only later disappear too. COLD mole enchiladas. Tacos de asada felt like I was chewing on a piece of rubber. Sushi was ok but being "mexican food" disappointed that their sushi over rated the "Mexican food". Will NOT return or recommend !!! read more

Was here Saturday night June 21st. I mention the date because Post Malone was playing at State Farm Stadium next door to Tulum. That being said, this place was crowded but management could have planned better. It's not that Post Malone announced he was performing here the day before. The service was not good because of so many people crammed into this place. It took 35 minutes to get a warm beer and 90 minutes to get our dinner. My Mole Enchiladas were cold when they finally arrived to our table. It was a 2 1/2 hour dinner when we left, but the kicker here is why we left. The fire alarm went on and the staff did absolutely nothing to let the patrons know if there was a fire or not. My first time here about a year ago was 5 stars. This time it was 180 degrees different. Sad. read more

Let's just start off with the obvious that the ambiance and decor is aesthetically pleasing, however, everything else was a disappointment. First maybe where we went wrong was getting sushi at a Mexican restaurant, but maybe don't offer sushi if you can't make it good. It's just a bad business model. As for the chile relleno, I wish the poblano was roasted more but overall good but very very cheesy. As for the price point, pricey for the quality of food. $17 for Tito's soda ?? Not even a specialty drink read more

Tulum ranks in tip 3 worst restaurants I have ever been to and I have been to 1000s in my lifetime. So first let me say that I do recognize this restaurant is in a location that has high traffic when the nearby entertainment events are occurring. I also recognize that Valentine's Day elevates that. But, when you're a restaurant that makes a choice to be in that location you need staff, managers and experienced oversight that can handle the pressure. These guys completely buckled and make no apologies for it. They simply do not care. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food -1out of 10, the service 2 out of 10, the ambience 2 out of 10 and that was because of the valentines decor only, music was blaring so loud the some inside the Restaurant were visually covering ears[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], attentiveness of other supporting staff zero --it's a dog eat dog world at this restaurant. And speaking of dog, a few of us left questioning if that's what was served on the plate. I know that's disgusting but the smell and the look had to be something other than beef. We were a party of six, made a reservation for 545, spent 20 minutes, watching them run around, not knowing what to do because they did not have a table ready for us. Once they finally figured it out, it took exactly 1 hour and 18 minutes for them to arrive with one of two appetizers ordered at that point our glasses were completely empty of water. We ordered drinks which at $19 apiece were terrible and suspiciously possibly canned, absolutely terrible guacamole came with what appeared to be beef or pork fried fat inside the guacamole which was brown. There was not any meat on the fat pieces. We literally picked it out and put it on a napkin for display and the waitress looked at it and said absolutely nothing. That did not get finished. We ordered sea salt fries. They came at the very end of the meal, with no sea salt, literally after all of our entrées were served and the bulk of the food pushed away as terrible. 3 of 6 entrees went mostly untouched and the others slightly mor. They can only split the check for a party our size 3 ways. So for two of us, three house margaritas, two entrées and an appetizer was $160 with the ad of gratuity. The food was worth about a dollar. Literally when my entrée came out, it was a cup of cream, poblano peppers a third a cup of fried white rice literally (1" high by 3 inches diameter) and a small cup that they use for ketchup with runny beans. That was $23. But others got $30 tacos that came out littered with fat and little meat, rendering it useless as there's no way it could be ingested and the smell was absolutely horrific. The bill total was probably around $400 for all of us and worth under five. The system that they have created cannot survive, which is strange because they're all wired with little microphones in their ears and for what I don't know. There were no apologies made and our server had it mastered where as soon as she delivered food, she quickly pivoted and turned away and did not wait for any questions. We saw her do it at least two or three times. No regard for the client, this was about survival for servers. We constantly had to ask for water ( 3 refills of very short glasses were begged for) and the smell was terrible. Minuscule portions, fat laden beef tacos, a dinner quesadilla the size of a bread plate and not salt or pepper on the table. No free chips or salsa and for the guacamole we ordered there was not enough chips to even try to eat it. Good thing we gave up on that with the fat pork or beef rinds in it. From the time we got there till the time we left, It was two hours and 5 minutes and all we did was wait. With the appetizers, nobody brought any appetizer plates. We had to ask for utensils, we had to ask for refills on water each time and when they did, they only filled the water halfway. After a few bites, most of us chose not to eat. I'm telling you I don't know how these people are even in business. What an absolute disappointment. Stay away from this restaurant as it is by far the worst I have experienced. Server also added the group gratuity which I get, when it was not earned. She picked up full plates of food when we were done and was wise enough not to ask how it was. read more

Nice place. The interior is beautiful. Service is crazy fast and attentive. Modern Mexican in that they have some classics while also having sushi on the menu. Asked what their signature dish was and it was a Chicken Mole Enchiladas. The dish is gorgeous. See picture below. But it came out room temperature and the Mole was a mild Mole versus that deep rich complex Mole that I was expecting. The place was crowded so give them a try and maybe I just got an off dish that night. read more

Tulum modern Mexican is basically traditional Mexican & American. No twist on Mexican...either guacamole, steaks, mashed potatoes, or tacos. Very very over priced. Drinks $19! Ordered a steak...1/3 fat. Our appetizer & meal came out at same time. Won't go back for how much food costs. read more

The ambiance at Talum modern Mexican was really nice, the service was friendly. But most of the food was no bueno. The margaritas were pretty good though, and I got a spicy cucumber drink as well which was good. I honestly wouldn't come back here most likely, maybe if they would add live entertainment or something to go with the drinks, but not to eat. They even left my item that I sent back because it was so bad, on the bill and didn't take it off. Not very hospitable. read more

if you're ever out on the west side and want a fancier dinner vibe without trekking all the way to Scottsdale... you might wanna check out Tulum in Glendale. It's giving cute decor, good lighting, and really solid cocktails. I had the ribeye and elote--both were actually fire. The steak was perfectly seasoned and came out a juicy medium rare, just how I like it. The ceviche and crackling shrimp? Meh, kinda forgettable tbh. I'd give it like a 7 outta 10 overall. Not amazing, but definitely a solid option if you're on the west side and wanna feel a little bougie for the night. read more

We came on a slammed night due to a concert with no reservations and a large party. It was the only place in nearby area where we did not have to wait 2 hours to get seated. So we were happy to be able to get seated. However, they were short handed and service was not pretty much nonexistent. We were a party of 7 and they gave chips and salsa with hardly any chips for the seven of us. The waiter finally came like 20 min later to take our orders. Our party ordered drinks which seem to take another 20 minutes to get. I appreciated the fire dancer as entertainment while we waited on our food. The food and drinks seemed overpriced for the size you got. But it was just enough to feel satisfied. Don't expect leftovers to take home. My chicken tacos were good tasting but not great. The beans on the side were boring and bland. I ordered a soda and got no chance to get a refill. I will say the ambiance is nice and has an exotic island feel to it. Having been to the actual Tulum myself, the ambience didn't match up but it was still a nice place. The plate of tacos and a soda cost me $26 not including tip. Presentation of the food was nothing special. Thrown on a plate. Overall I found the place mediocre and this my rating. read more

Booked a reservation a month in advance just so they could ruin our valentines dinner. We get to the restaurant early and there is crazy line in front waiting to check into their reservations. We were told they are just behind but we would still get our table. An (hour) later we get our table, we order everything and I ask for the bill because we had a concert to go to and we were running behind due to them not honoring the time I reserved a month ago! Guess what? Another (hour) later and still no food! I don't if they overbooked or were over serving their customers to get more tips, but we had to cancel our steak dinners to make it to the concert in time. Because of them it ruined our valentines dinner and we had to go to the concert starving! Not ok beyond disappointed how they run their business. read more

Our birthday celebration was extremely disappointing. Our group celebrates birthdays monthly at different restaurants, and this time we were celebrating three birthdays, with a multitude of presents visible, during our first visit here. Ironically, the restaurant had just celebrated its own 3-year anniversary, yet somehow couldn't help us celebrate ours properly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although the restaurant is attractive, the customer service was poor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were asked to split into three payment groups instead of receiving individual checks, which was fine but inconvenient, and for three birthday guests, they brought only one tiny two-two bite dessert. When we politely asked for another one for photos since the sparkler went out quickly, the manager came and responded awkwardly, saying he was "good at negotiating" and questioned whether all three birthdays were actually that day!!? For the prices they charge, the experience felt cheap, inconsiderate, and unwelcoming. It's honestly laughable that the restaurant chose to risk its reputation and lose future customers over what amounted to a 50-cent bite of dessert. That's simply not good business. Water refills were also neglected even though the restaurant was nearly empty. A great restaurant is about more than décor - it's about hospitality, human connection and making guests feel valued. Unfortunately, we left with a sour experience and won't be returning. read more

We went for dinner last night, we had a group of 10 people, the service was really good, and the decorations/ambiance were nice too. I just don't understand the food or the prices of everything on the menu which is why I give it 2 stars. I paid $18 for this sad chicken quesadilla appetizer, only had water, so my total because of gratuity was $24... like what? The drinks are mostly $19+ and all the food was ridiculously priced which sucks because there are very little food choices. Oh if you want a "side" it's $13+. I want to love this place, but they need to figure out their menu and prices. read more

Came in on Friday 2/16/24 had an appointment @ 8:15pm cause we where told that in the later hours they have a show . Everyone was super helpful the place is pretty nice decorated.. we had only appetizers to try things out . It' was really good but don't think for the price .. music is ok it changes way to much from one style to another . They don't let you enjoy the music before they are changing it already .. the menu very short and the selection is very small . I think this place is more just drinking .. the show very dis interesting ... Maybe a group setting or just drinks to come back . Otherwise not my choice for now !!! read more

Tulum Modern Mexican - A Flavor-Packed Fiesta! If you're hunting for the perfect spot to satisfy a craving for elevated Mexican cuisine, look no further than Tulum Modern Mexican. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were swept into a warm, coastal-chic ambience that felt like a quick escape to the Yucatán--soft lighting, lush greenery, and mellow Latin beats set the mood for an unforgettable evening. Service: Our server, Sergio, deserves a standing ovation. He greeted us like old friends, knew the menu inside-out, and somehow anticipated every need before we even asked. Drink running low? Fresh margarita appeared. Unsure about spice levels? Sergio offered thoughtful guidance and even arranged a tiny tasting of their house mole. Friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate--he turned great food into a memorable experience. Star Dishes:    *   Lamb Chops: Perfectly medium-rare with a smoky ancho chile rub, resting on a vibrant cilantro-mint chimichurri. Each bite was tender, juicy, and dripping with layered flavor--easily among the best lamb chops I've had, anywhere.    *   Cochinita Pibil: A slow-braised masterpiece. The pork practically melted under the fork, soaked with achiote and citrus, topped with pickled red onions that cut through the richness just right. Wrap a forkful in the house-made tortillas and you'll understand why this dish is legendary. Ambience & Extras: The open kitchen adds a dash of theater, while hand-blown glass fixtures cast a warm glow over carefully spaced tables--intimate enough for date night, but lively enough for a group celebration. Craft cocktails lean on fresh juices and top-shelf tequila, and the dessert list (don't skip the churros with spiced chocolate) ends the night on a high note. Bottom Line: Tulum Modern Mexican nails the trifecta: exceptional food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger long after the plates are cleared. Big thanks to Sergio for elevating an already stellar dinner into a five-star experience. We'll be back--and bringing friends! read more

After not having been able to have a date night in a couple months, we decided to splurge a bit and chose Tulum Modern Mexican after seeing an tik tok about their tomahawk steak...and....wow, what a terrible decision that was. It was a Tuesday night, so the restaurant was fairly empty when we got there. We were greeted and seated quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is nice with the decor and the lighted trees[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], that's where the good news ends. We ordered the elote starter, which the menu said was 'roasted corn' and let me tell you, that corn was paler than my Swedish grandmother in the dead of winter. It had clearly never been roasted. Moving on to the main, the thing we had come for, the tomahawk steak. When the waitress brought it to the table, she dropped it off like she was dropping off a cheeseburger at a chain restaurant. Nothing like the video I had seen. It was not sliced tableside, just plopped on the table with a dull knife that could probably barely cut a pb&j. We ordered medium rare and it came out very rare. At that point, we were way over this place, so we just proceeded to eat. The flavor of the steak was decent. The Mac and cheese? Don't bother, zero flavor whatsoever. The garlic sautéed mushrooms were, however, delicious and very much the star of the show. This is wild in and of itself considering the price they charge for the tomahawk. After we finished eating, we weren't offered dessert. Just brought our $179 check. There was very little interaction or service from our waitress at all. All in all, very disappointing to splurge on a $200 dinner. read more

The ambiance is really pretty and cool! The music very nice too to vibe and the live performance of a fire dancer too!! The food....sooooooo good!!!! The salmon and the side of Mac n cheese sooo good! Just mind you this is a treat yoself kind of place so it's pricey. The reason for 3 tho is mainly cause of service. It was great at first and attentive then it got non existent. No communication between the staff on who got what so we felt bad when we got asked things when someone else grabbed it. Then taking plates and cups from the table without asking or asking to be refilled so kinda off putting towards the end. But overall id come back read more

Stopped in because we were in the area doing some shopping while we were visiting from out of town and wow. This restaurant/bar is amazing. The ambiance was so gorgeous and beautifully done. The service was okay. We really only stopped in for a refreshing beverage because it was so hot outside and we had been shopping at the outlet stores in the 100+ degree weather. The drinks are good but so expensive, the food is also expensive. We ordered drinks and an order of the ceviche. The ceviche was amazing. So delicious and refreshing with the perfect amount of kick. read more

Tulum is located in the Westgate district. It is beautifully decorated and spacious. The menu is not extensive. It was hard for me to pick something to eat. I wanted the Salmon but it came with rice. I asked to substitute the rice for the mash potatoes and was told no because the Salmon comes with rice. That was disappointing! I ordered the chicken tacos and the only topping was onions but I will say the flavor profile was on point. I did suggest that they add a brunch option to the establishment. All and All the experience was okay. The ambiance is 10/10. read more

We stopped in Tulum for drinks prior to the NCAA men's national championship basketball game recently. As you'd expect, it was packed and pretty much utter chaos. We waited quite awhile but finally were seated at a table in the bar area. We just wanted margaritas, without food. The drinks were small and pretty weak, then I had to track down our waiter to get our check. Four small, weak margaritas ended up costing us $100. I came away feeling like we'd been gouged due to the event we were attending. read more

3 stars is generous for the experience but it takes into account this being the first night of full service. Out and about in Westgate, our group was seated quickly and greeted at the table with water and tortilla chips with fresh pico de gallo. The restaurant bills itself as "modern Mexican" and the menu reflects some standards (enchiladas in mole sauce, carne asada tacos, conchinita pibil) and some picks that were just...baffling (sushi rolls?) Our group split some appetizers (the aforementioned sushi rolls, guacamole, steak quesadillas, queso fundido, tempura shrimp in a chipotle glaze), and I went with the cochinita de pollo tacos (shredded chicken in an orange + annato marinade). All told: this worked much better in concept than execution. The queso was ordered without chorizo and and came topped with it. When returned, the second dish of queso, served in a mini skillet, came out cold enough that it lifted out in a single scoop. The cochinita de pollo tacos were cold, mushy, and missing the habanero zing expected from cochinita. Staff was friendly and attentive, though, and apologetic of the experience, providing a complimentary dessert (orange infused strawberry shortcake). The geture was appreciated but the dish was average at best. Tulum has potential and should do pretty well given the location. read more
