    Esquites

    Lovely little joint in a slightly meh area we found at midnight after going to Secret Pour nearby to watch our friend's gig. We sat at the bar and were promptly served chips and salsa that were super delish. We ordered tacos Al Pastor and esquites. The corn was a touch too mayonnaisey, but overall great, and came as a huge portion. The tacos (3) were pretty good. Nice char to them. Looooved the service. The bartender had to wait on some wasted ladies nearby who kept spilling their drinks all over the bar, and he totally kept his cool and continued to smile. Huge points! Would return for sure. Bit loud in there with conversation and music nonstop.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

Everyone we interacted with was friendly and fast/efficient. We ordered several carne asada tacos and quesadillas in addition to chips/guac.

It's quick, loud, small, but efficient- quite fitting of NY. Always a good time and good food.

The hype was absolutely worth it. The adobada tacos were hands down the best tacos I've ever had. The homemade corn tortillas were fresh and flavorful, and the adobada was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also tried the carne asada tacos, which were good but definitely overshadowed by the adobada. Each taco came topped with onions, cilantro, guacamole, and salsa. Just a heads-up--the salsa packs some serious heat! Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype. If you're in the area and don't mind waiting in line, it's absolutely worth it.

A quick internet search led me to this tiny little takeaway window. There were a few people waiting around for their orders, but the service was quick, and super friendly.

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

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 .

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.

Decent size Mexican restaurant with some seating in the front and a handful of tables in the back dining room. We started with chips and guac. The guac is large so I understand the price. It was very good. No complaints. The chips could have used more salt though which is always a concern. You'd think Mexican spots would have a tortilla chip down by now. I ordered a steak quesadilla. The steak was tender and had pretty good flavor. I just wish there was more. Especially considering the price. Certainly not a bad quesadilla but the value wasn't quite there. Still, a fine option if you want Mexican food and you are in the area. I'd say the 3.5 rating is pretty spot on.

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.

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.
