    Tulum Brooklyn was a good vibe! This was a smaller restaurant, but a nice vibe. Our server was really attentive and very kind - even caught her dancing to the music at different times, which was pretty fun haha. The food was pretty good! The tacos were flavorful, however the shells were pretty hard, which didn't seem authentic to the actually birria tacos that I've encountered in Tulum/Mexico City on multiple visits. I also got some sushi that had steak and plantains on top and those were so delicious. I would definitely recommend getting the sushi for sure!

    Coincidently walked in after seeing the happy hour sign outside. Decided to share a plate of steak tacos (3) and sangria while waiting for our following plans. For $10 each, we were pleased with our choices in this quick, spontaneous stop.

    Very friendly staff! The restaurant itself isn't super aesthetically pleasing, but it isn't anything offensive. I visited while there was a birthday party happening in their secondary space, so if you're ever looking for a venue, I think it's a good choice. Margaritas were okay, wish they were sourer. I tried the birria empanadas - nothing outstanding. One of my friends got one of their sushi rolls and talk about overcooked rice - that was NOT a vibe. I do think there is a lot of area for improvement. If you're popping in for drinks, I don't think you could go wrong there, but the food is lackluster at best.

    Food: served quickly and tasty. Shrimp tacos were simple but shrimp were perfectly cooked. Service: friendly, good humor fast service Ambiance: casual chill vibes, nice backyard.

    A friend suggested I check this place out! We sat at the bar. The place was pretty crowded. The bartender Raynando was polite, courteous and great at his job. He was making drinks, taking orders and providing very good customer service. The vibe and the seating is comfortable and clean. The guacamole was made in front of us. And it was fabulous! The shrimp quesadilla was fresh and good. The shrimp were seasoned light and allowed the freshness of the shrimp to shine through. The horchata was good, really good! I wished I would have ordered a large. The house special cocktail my friend order was so good they ordered two. They also had three tvs with sports on. I will be back!

    Great ambience. The service was excellent. I loved the vibe -- it had a club feel with the live DJ. The food was delicious!! My favorite item was the sushi with plantain. There are several dairy-free options as well. I will definitely come back when I visit Brooklyn.

    This is a restaurant with a seperate lounge and a backyard patio. The chic decor and beautiful artwork makes it a perfect place to dine and hang out with friends or on a date. The cocktails are great here and we have the Tulum Boat which had various appetizers. The appetizers wereSteak Tacos, Chicken Flautas, Esquites, Chicken Quesadillas, Mexican Roll, & Ruinas Roll. We substituted the Mexican Roll for the Tulum Brooklyn -QUESO FUNDIDO CON CHORIZO CANTARITO- tequila, citrus juices and tajin ALBORADA MAYA- Vodka, Passion fruit, Apple Liqueur The Tulum Brooklyn Roll was so delicious. Shrimp tempura, avocado, sweet plantain topped with grilled octopus, glazed with jalapeño. We also enjoyed the quesadillas and tacos. The Queso fundido was amazing!! The cocktails here are great the staff, Omar and Pamela thanks for your hospitality. The lounge opened on May 3. I can't wait to come back here.

    10/10/10 : Food, Service, Ambiance ! I'd like to give a big shout out to Rinaldo & Eduardo (spellcheck). They were very kind and generous with their service. We just moved to the area and weren't sure where to eat and lucked out with Tulum Brooklyn!! Like seriously I think I just found my new favorite spot. Fun fact: They have a restaurant and a lounge in the same building that share a wall! You can host birthdays or special events too. The lounge has a bar and hookah if you're in to that as well. Now let's talk about the food: AMAZING! Imagine a Japanese x Mexican hybrid. We had one deep fried sushi role that was AMAZING! The guacamole was super fresh and made right in front of us and the rest of the food was delicious. Even the ambiance and decor was a vibe. The interior is beautiful and the outdoor patio is perfect for summer time. Another fun fact: The place just opened this year in April. They're still creating interesting new dishes and everything was so amazing and tasty and the best part is because it's so fresh, we didn't even feel bloated. We were vey happy and full! Thank you again to Rinaldo and Eduardo. My friend said they always had really good recommendations and they did give us a customize cocktail that was super refreshing and even that was delicious!

    Tulum boat
    Meline V.

    Honestly not what I expected but it ended up being really cool. Originally from ri we ended up just searching for this place on social media (Instagram). Ended up snowing here pretty hard but still came out and ordered the tulum boat, guac, birria roll, basil watermelon, skinny spicy margarita, regular margarita. The rolls in the tulum boat were interesting and something different. Drinks were well made and renaldo was slinging and waiting on tables; def not that many guys in here this night but probably because of the snow and it honestly didn't affect things for us at all! We were happy to hang in there and the food and drinks were on point! Would recommend you check it out!

    I love love love Los Tacos No. 1. In the past, I usually frequent the location near my office in…read morethe Financial District, but we were in the area here recently and stopped by this location. I was so pleased to see that the quality is amazing and service is exceptional across the board. Be prepared for a line at this location, since it's close to a lot of tourist attractions. Don't let the line intimidate you though, it goes by super fast. Not a lot of space to sit and eat your food, but you'll get the full on Mexican taco stand experience. I recommend at least three tacos if you're hungry. My favorite are the asada tacos and the adobada tacos, but you can't go wrong with anything here. Everything is great and made fresh to your liking!

    Standing room only!…read more Long lines at peak times for pretty much all of their locations in the city. They do have it down to a science though. You order at the counter. Get your drink there and a slip with your food items on it. Take the slip to the next counter where they prepare it. They're masters at it so they're cranking out a taco probably every 15 to 20 seconds. There's a line of workers operating the grills to get the meat and tortillas ready for the prep guys. So efficient. No seats. You stand and eat which really keeps the turn over rate high. The inside is no frills. Standing room only to eat your tacos and exit. The food is so good. $6 a taco but it's NYC. Love everything about this place and I try to frequent it for a quick bite as often as I can.

The birria tacos were really good (or so my son said) but sadly the taquitos were terrible. They literally just had unseasoned shredded chicken (but serves me right for ordering something so basic). The salsa also tasted more like tomato paste than actual salsa. But again, the goal for this stop was a frozen marg(s) and that mission was accomplished and then were good . The atmosphere was also fun and lively and our server was attentive and never tried to push us out the door despite sitting there for a while!

    Unfortunately, this place had little to offer. The staff seemed uninterested--either they didn't…read morewant to serve customers, didn't want to be there, or both. The energy was flat, and that lack of enthusiasm carried right into the food. The menu needs a complete overhaul. I'm not sure if it's trying to be "different," but the taco options were unappealing just from reading the descriptions. I managed to choose the two best-sounding items I could find, and honestly, they were so bland I don't even remember what they were. The setup and decor were basic. This spot could be a fun hangout, but it would take a better menu and staff who actually seem to care. It feels like just another restaurant that's lost sight of creating an actual experience for guests. The lack of vibe is obvious--if you don't want customers, just say so. I'm giving 2 stars out of respect for the fact that people have to work for a living.

    I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.

If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
