I had been to Tulum before with a friend and really enjoyed it. We got the Pulpo Al Pastor, the…read moreguacamole, and the Volcano Molcajete, which had beef, shrimp, pork, al pastor, cheese, nopales, rice and beans. Basically, the whole yard. The meat was cooked so well. Everything was so tender and juicy, and there was just so much food. I went back again this week for Mexican Independence Day, this time with my cute date. We shared the Queso con Chorizo and the Guacamole con Chicharrón. Honestly, those two things could have been dinner because the portions are so generous. Don't be fooled by the size of the queso plate. That thing is deep. Seriously, there is a LOT of queso in there. They also give you a generous amount of chicharrón with the guacamole. The chicharrón tasted warm, almost like it had just been fried, and added a really nice crunch to the guac. For a main, I had the octopus tacos, which had a lot of octopus in them. The watermelon and radish, along with the aioli, added such a nice contrast of sweet, savory, warm and cool. They were delicious. Honestly, my only problem with this place is that the food is so good and the portions are so fair that I had a hard time eating all of it. Oh well. We got to take some of it home, so I guess that's a good kind of problem. We also shared a flight of margaritas: the classic, mango, passionfruit, and watermelon. I think a flight is actually great for two people, unless you want to get crunk! The restaurant is very "instagramable" and the service was excellent. Overall, I think this is a great place for a date night with good eats and drinks!

Highlight for me hot and well cooked beef, tender. - Birria chimichanga (2) this is hefty, i thought this was a good chimichanga, i would probably ask for extra sauce next go around, it got a bit dry without it. - carne asada enchiladas, the lady enjoyed this, carne was moist and tender. - pork belly & yuca loved the pork belly originally thought it was more like a chicharron dish but enjoyed this style , the yuca wasn't my jam. - tajin elote (2) love tajin elotes so no complaints! - churro espresso Great spot, great service.

We can't believe how perfect the Paint Burro was as the venue for our wedding reception. We rented…read moreout the whole restaurant, expecting a simple do-most-of-it-ourselves type of reception given that we weren't using a wedding planner, nor were we going crazy with big ticket wedding items like DJ, Photographer etc. We wanted the day to be special, but were willing to be creative to control the insane cost of the modern wedding. So when we approached Bridget Tivnan and her team about having our reception here, our expectations were modest to say the least. We had no idea the generosity, thoughtfulness, open mindedness, and hard work that this place was going to offer to make our day beyond special for us and our guests. A special shout out especially to Bridget and Sam who went above and beyond both leading up-to and on the day to make the event perfect. From the beginning, Bridget helped us to envision a set up that went beyond our our own plans, without going beyond our budget--allowing us to reserve the entire restaurant for our event at a reasonable price. She was incredibly accommodating and excited to make our day special, working within our parameters to ensuring we had enough space for our guests, a dance floor custom bar, and a buffet table. She and Sam, the restaurant manager, also supported a surprise musical performance I had planned for my wife, allowing us to store instruments and practice the night before. When the rehearsal ran VERY late night before the big day, Sam stayed very late with me, without complaint or pressure to wrap up and even making me a nice night cap without me asking for it, when I'm sure he was eager to get home. All this ensured we were all set for the big day. On the day of the event, the team set up speakers so we could broadcast our own Spotify playlist throughout the venue and the outdoor courtyard, which doubled as our dance floor. Sam was on hand to help trouble shoot technical issues and even offered to let us use his phone for the night at one point in case we couldn't resolve to a connectivity issue. They transformed the other rooms into a dining space and a bar area, and even created a makeshift outdoor bar. The food was phenomenal. They not only met all our menu requests but also crafted an alternative menu to accommodate numerous allergies and dietary restrictions. They even provided a special kids' menu at no extra charge, which was a huge hit with the little ones. All of our friends and relatives still talk about how much they loved all the food that day and we know many of them have been back since! Bridget, Sam and the great service people made sure we, the newlyweds, got to taste all the appetizers by bringing us a special tasting plate while we mingled with guests. They ensured we got to enjoy our meal and coordinated the cake cutting seamlessly. The attention to detail and personal touches were extraordinary. They also brought my wife and I fresh plates of dinner when they realized we had been chatting with guests throughout most of the dinner portion of the evening. The highlight of the evening was the surprise band performance, which brought the house down and filled the room with joy. None of this would have been possible without their support and flexibility and willingness to accommodate our outside the box ideas. They accommodated every request, from custom drinks at the outdoor bar to delicious mocktails for our pregnant guests. They even helped with the décor, setting up flowers and family photos, transforming the restaurant into a beautiful, intimate space. Despite being a Mexican restaurant, the atmosphere felt swanky and luxurious. We can't thank Bridget, Sam, the cooks, service folks, bartenders and the entire staff enough. They turned our wedding into an amazing event and created memories we will be able to enjoy and talk about for a long long time. If you're looking for a place that offers exceptional service, delicious food, and a team that truly cares, look no further.

To be honest, I didn't really have high expectations for Painted Burro. I mean, come on. With…read moreFelipe's just around the corner, the thought of venturing elsewhere felt almost unnecessary. But given that work was covering the tab, I was more than happy to indulge. To start off, the food was de-light-ful. For appetizers, we ordered the elotes, chips with guac and salsa, and some roasted potatoes. These were all fine--nothing particularly fancy--but I did really like the potatoes. We then ordered some drinks, which I admittedly don't remember very well... we may have partied a little too hard. Despite the hungover amnesia, though, the clear winner was the Coconut Passionfruit. If I remember correctly, it tasted almost like an alcoholic cream soda, and it was by far the table's favorite. One of my coworkers ordered it first and let us all try it, and suffice it to say, we were hooked. The whole table eventually ended up ordering a round. Now, since the tab was covered, I decided to go all out and order three fish tacos AND the Fajitas Clásicas. Was this excessive? Yes.... Did that stop me? Absolutely not. The Fajitas Clásicas were massive (easily enough food for two people!) That said, looking back, I was a little underwhelmed by the actual variety of meats. Between the steak, chicken, and shrimp, nothing really stood out. The steak was okay, the chicken was a little dry, and the shrimp... well, I gave the two pieces they gave me to my friend. I eventually turned my attention back to the fish tacos, which were thankfully very yummy and probably the better choice. Now onto dessert! If you come here for nothing else, come for either the churros or the tres leches. Some of my coworkers found the tres leches a little too sweet, but I absolutely loved how creamy and indulgent it was. The churros were also delicious. I didn't love the chocolate sauce quite as much, so I ended up dipping them into the ice cream instead, which I personally thought was much better. Suffice it to say, you really can't go wrong with either. Overall, Painted Burro pleasantly surprised me. Not everything was a standout, and I'd probably skip the fajitas next time, but the drinks, fish tacos, and especially the desserts made for a very fun meal. Would I abandon Felipe's? Lol no. But if work is paying again, you'll probably find me back here with another Coconut Passionfruit in hand.

I ordered a tamale and a pupusa, both of which were large and delicious! We shared an order of the plantains, which came with a crema. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. They have an interior as well as exterior seating area. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They also have a wide variety of beverages and desserts--we tried the flan.

I really need to remember to look online before choosing my order in the future (or so I thought). While the tacos still look incredible (especially the birria ones), the torta was surprisingly great as well. The sandwich is jam packed with ingredients and really well balanced. The beef was juicy and tender, and the veggies added a really nice balance of spice (jalapenos), freshness (onions, lettuce, and tomatoes), and richness (cheese and avocadoes). The refried beans were a pleasant surprise as well, adding really good moisture and flavor to the overall bite. And including avocado on the torta for no extra cost really is what put this above and beyond to a 5/5 - the avocado was ripe and had just the right amount of it to add that rich and fatty element without being too slippery and making it hard to eat. The fries, on the other hand, were a bit soggy and thick for my liking. I had seen another photo on Yelp where they looked a lot crispier and were shaped differently, so not sure if I just got unlucky, but the sandwich more than made up for the fries in this case. I really can't say enough positive things about the torta. And even though the torta was fantastic and I gave it a 5/5, I definitely want to come back for those tacos. Three tacos plus rice for $18 is a pretty great deal, and the tacos really look incredible. My partner ordered a tongue, al pastor, and fish taco and while I didn't try them, they looked and smelled incredible. We will definitely be back!
