    CT Brisket Enchiladas Puerto Vallarta zero-proof cocktail
    Francheska S.

    This place is very vibey and had great ambiance. Gluten free friendly. I had the Caesar salad without croutons which was a whole wedge and perfectly crisp, the brisket enchiladas (3) which were super filling and tasty, and the coconut flan that was just okay. I also had a zero proof cocktail that was supposed to be guava and lemon but looked and tasted like Minute Maid pink lemonade so you're better off just ordering something else. Overall the food was good but too pricey for what it was so would recommend going if you're into ambiance and a solid meal for a weekend night out.

    I went for light bites to celebrate with a friend! I had the Queso, guacamole and a few drinks. I enjoyed what I ate and my friends enjoyed their food as well. I will say, it is a good time. I enjoyed the lively atmosphere and the service was great for our group of 8. It really did feel like we were in tulum!

    We had such an amazing experience at Costera Cocina Tulum--everything we ordered was phenomenal. Honestly, I can't even fully describe how good it was... it was that good. We're already planning our next visit! Pro tip: the paella takes a bit longer to cook, so definitely order that first--it's worth the wait. If you're going with a group, I highly recommend doing the prix fixe menu. It makes everything super easy and lets you try a little bit of everything without overthinking it. The vibe is also a whole moment--located right in Fulton Market, it feels trendy, lively, and just the perfect spot for a fun night out. Great food, great energy, and such a memorable experience. Can't wait to go back!

    Loved the vibes and indoor decor! I did think the prices for their seafood tacos were a bit steep considering they didn't come with a side and didn't overflow with seafood. Service was great, very attentive and super friendly. Highly recommend the mango passionfruit cheesecake for dessert!

    Very lively restaurant setting. We came in an early Friday evening. Parking was bonkers due to No Kings protest that took place earlier in the day. We sat in the bar area. We ordered a few drinks and tried the very delicious guacamole. For dinner my husband got the Fish Tacos. They were so good and full of flavor. I ordered the short rib enchiladas and passed my expectations. I would definitely order those again. All in all it was a nice evening. We even finished off our meal with a house made sorbet. Very cute restaurant, they really hype the crowd for special events. My understanding that turns more into a club/bar scene after 9pm on the weekends.

    FRESH MASA EMPANADAS
    Jose C.

    We decided to visit Costera Cocina Tulum to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived at our reservation time and were seated right away. The restaurant itself wasn't too full and the service started off a little choppy. Our server said she'd be right back to take our order but disappeared for a good 15 minutes. Luckily for us the rest of our night went pretty smoothly. We started off with a couple of margaritas. My wife ordered their Mayan Mirage and I ordered their Playa de Piña. Both were similar in appearance but still delicious. We also ordered their Fresh Masa Empanadas. These were stuffed with Mahi Mahi, tomato, onion and topped off with crema, lettuce and salsa verde. These were really tasty and filling. A perfect way to get the night going. My wife ordered their Pork Shank Pibil and I ordered their Salmon A La Veracruzana. Which is a rare occurrence for me personally. I usually never order fish. I decided to check out their version of "a la Veracruzana" and I was quite surprised on how exceptional this dish was executed. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the all the vegetables were delcious. It was also served on top of rice which I was not expecting. My wife's pork shank Pibil was served with black beans, xnipe a Yucatán sauce, salsa verde and tortillas. Overall a delicious dish as well. We both enjoyed our meal and I was honestly very surprised on how all the dishes tasted. I can definitely see myself returning.

    1. What a cute spot. From the patio, to the bar, to the indoor dining area. 2. Our waiter was very good, attentive, and cool. 3. Listen, the asada tacos (without the avocado salsa) is amazing. I will be back for those. Everyone loved their food. We also had the queso chorizo, short ribs, beans and rice, and my friend had the lobster roll. The jungle glow is awesome, a friend had the French 75 with vodka and loved it. Definitely visit this place.

    SHORT RIB and POLLO AL HORNO

    Made a resi and told my friends to dress nice just so we could all take pics of each other. Every thing I put in my mouth was delicious, even the water bro. As a table we had the following: short rib, chicken dish, oysters (fye), lobster spaghetti, empanadas, guacamole (no prawns), carne asada, lobster tacos & ceviche. Literally everything was delicious bro The stars were the oysters, empanadas, guac & lobster spaghetti. The service was excellent, I actually got overwhelmed seeing our server Anthony so often, you could tell I'm not used to nice things. Also the vibe in there is hella cool. Very sexy in there. 10/10 this is not one of those overpriced and overhyped places. It's pricey but worth it.

    Happy hour menu
    Erica Z.

    Spicy margarita Just enough spice without being too much. Flavor of rim is very good Vegan Chorizo Great flavor - chipolte salsa adds just enough heat. My favorite Asada Taco Not a big meat person but this is very good. Avocado salsa adds great flavor Taco of the week Cauliflower tacos - delicious! Highly recommended. Super friendly and helpful stall to accommodate gluten sensitivity. They do add an automatic 20% service charge - no problem with this just an FYI.

    The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully -- definitely an eye-catching space. Unfortunately, our overall experience didn't quite match the look. We had a reservation but ran behind due to traffic in the city. When we arrived, the host said she'd have to check with a manager to see if we could still be seated, even though we noticed several open tables and the kitchen was open for another hour and a half. We were asked to wait, so we sat in the bar area. After some time passed, my sister went back to the host stand and was told (with an apology) that we had been forgotten. Eventually, we were seated in a very dimly lit area -- so dark that we couldn't see the menus or take photos without using flash. When we used our phone flashlights to view the menu, a man approached our table and scolded us in a very rude tone, saying the "vibe is like Tulum" and lights weren't needed. Instead of enhancing the atmosphere, this interaction really dampened the mood for us. On the positive side, our server was fantastic. I wish I remembered his name because he deserves credit for saving our experience. He was warm, knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations for both drinks and food. Thanks to him, we enjoyed our meals -- I had the pork shank, which was delicious. My sister and friends ordered tacos, fish, and a burger, and everyone was happy with the food. The drinks, however, were just okay. My margarita didn't stand out compared to the food. Overall, the food and our server were wonderful, but the poor handling at the host stand, the extreme lighting, and the rude interaction left a sour impression. I can't say I'd rush back here on my next trip to Chicago.

    When Tulum jungle vibes meet modern Mexican flair in Chicago's West Loop! Costera Cocina Tulum transports you to a dimly lit indoor jungle, with lush greenery lining the walls and rope-draped ceilings overhead. The plant-filled, intimate dining room feels perfectly suited for small to medium groups--while the menu channels coastal Tulum with vibrant, shareable modern Mexican dishes. Service * Warm welcome and genuine enthusiasm from the host and servers * Server took time to walk us through the menu and craft cocktail options Food * Grilled Octopus - fresh and delicate * Queso Fundido - silky cheese and an underrated dipping sauce * Esquites - off-the-cob corn magic * Taco Flights - langosta, carne asada, barbacoa, fish carnitas--all consistently excellent Verdict A must-visit among the West Loop's newer entrants, Costera Cocina Tulum marries jungle-chic ambiance with modern Mexican eats. While still working out a few service details, it already earns a solid four-plus stars for its atmosphere and flavorful menu.

    I've been here for just cocktails and I've stopped in for lunch. Both times it was good experience, I will say the fog machine that they turn on around 4pm is a little off putting however it's adds to the "Tulum" experience I guess. The food is okay, I do think you're paying for the ambiance vs the quality of the food. Great cocktails though, has almost a club feel after about 10pm

Starting with margaritas (because obviously ‍), queso and chips that were dangerously good, and the chicken empanadas that came out perfectly crispy with so much flavor. We kept looking at each other after every bite like "okay wait... THIS is the best thing here" and then another plate would arrive and prove us wrong again The carnitas fried rice??? I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW.

Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try.

The sauce that came with my shrimp was spicy and deep--lots of flavor layers there. Both of us took home portions of our meals because there was a lot of food on the plates.

It was a hot, humid day, but apparently it was warmer inside than on their sidewalk seating, so we dined outside. My wife ordered the Vegetarian Torta ($13.75) and I chose the Shrimp Torta ($14.50). They were each quite large and filling. My shrimp torta was good, but a little one note. The vegetarian torta was an awesome combination of flavors and I would order it again in a heartbeat. Only real negatives were that they did not offer any draft beer options and the Chips y Salsa ($3.75) had a meager quantity of chips to eat their tasty and generous tomatillo and 3-chile salsa options. Would actually go 4.5 stars based on those 2 factors, but gave the benefit of the extra half star due to how good our service was and the excellent flavor of the veggie sandwich.

    Manchamanteles is as fun and exciting on the inside as its boldly colored outside would lead you to…read morebelieve. The staff are donned in themed regalia, and will gleefully sing you a happy birthday song even if you're quite far from adolescence (and also a few days out from your actual birthday). The moles were all phenomenal, and the mezcal margarita pitcher more than satisfied our group. The interior is a bit bright and skews somewhat family oriented, so I wouldn't recommend it for every crowd. But for my group of friends and I, Manchamanteles more than delivered in food, service, and fun alike.

    Came here on Valentine's Day with a reservation, there were three of us, one kid. It was full of…read morefamilies, some couples. The had a tasting menu but we opted out of it. They give you a complimentary spicy trail mix. We started with the guacamole, it was okay. Then I got a traditional margarita, my partner got a pina colada with strawberries, and my kid got a pink lemonade (Marz Brewing made). The margarita was good, not strong but not too watery. For dinner I got the chicken fajitas, the waiter asked if I wanted just chicken which I though was odd because I ordered the chicken fajitas and I wasn't sure what he meant or if he meant no veggies, it came with veggies luckily. It also came with tortilla, corn, and a side of refried black beans with cojita, and rice. It was all okay. My partner got the lamb mole, it was sweet and savory, not spicy. And it came with tortillas. They have a lot of mole options, so if you're into that definitely come here to try! Overall it was just okay.
