    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!

    The Forced tip ruins an otherwise good dining experience. If it wasn't for that I would recommend the place.

    Have been here a handful of times now and think it's pretty solid for the area! Have never been for…read moredinner so can only speak for the lunch vibe, but I have found the service to be great and the lighting is nice because there are floor to ceiling windows. The menu is pretty diverse with various appetizers, sushi, and also ramen/curry so your standard izakaya fare. One of my favorite dishes here has been the chirashi. The fish was very fresh and it's pretty affordable. I've only ever been here in groups of two and I probably would recommend it for smaller groups because the space itself is small and most of the tables are two-seaters if I recall correctly.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Another Thai owned Japanese restaurant specializing in izakaya style cuisine in Bushwick. It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.
