The interior is very pretty and more upscale that your typical Mexican restaurant, so the atmosphere is welcoming. Our service, Jonathan, was attentive and pleasant to interact with. Their menu has standard Tex-Mex and Mexican offerings along with American fusion dishes as well (burger, pasta, etc.). They do provide tostadas with salsa and a mild aioli sauce which were good. We had their birria and tinga tacos. I chose the corn tortillas which were blue and complimented the chicken nicely. My husband chose the flour tortillas and really enjoyed the flavors as well. The poblano Mac n cheese was an unexpected side but we really liked it. Their Mexican rice was well cooked and very flavorful. The drink and dessert menus looked very inviting so those will be something to look forward to on our next visit! The menu is a little pricey but not unexpected given the overall vibe of this place. They do have a kids menu with both Tex/mex and American items. read more

Arrival & Service We arrived around 12:40 pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately--a nice start. Our server took about five minutes to bring the drink menu and our waters, which was fine, but he seemed a bit distracted throughout the meal. While he was friendly, there were moments where he seemed scattered, though he was attentive enough to provide us with complimentary tostadas, salsa, and chipotle aioli to start. Drinks & Timing I ordered a piña colada at 12:55 pm, and our main entrees were ordered at the same time. Both the drink and entrees arrived promptly at 1:05 pm, which felt rushed. I had hoped to enjoy my drink before diving into the meal, but having them served simultaneously took away from the relaxing experience I was hoping for. The piña colada itself was delicious and well-presented, though I couldn't really taste any alcohol in it. Food I ordered the classic taco salad with shredded chicken ($17). Unfortunately, this was a disappointment. Despite Tulum's emphasis on fresh ingredients, the salad didn't live up to my expectations. For the price, I was expecting a larger portion and more generous servings of chicken; I wouldn't order this again. Carson had the Pastor-style chicken ($20), which came with grilled pineapple, onion, and a side of rice. The food runner poured queso over the chicken and rice upon serving, which was a nice touch. Carson enjoyed the dish and mentioned he'd gladly order it again. Wrap-Up We left at 1:35 pm after a slightly rushed meal. The service was friendly but could be improved in terms of pacing and focus. While there were bright spots like the piña colada presentation and Carson's entrée, the experience left room for improvement, especially considering the cost and expectations around freshness. This restaurant is definitely made for a special occasion dinner because of the pricing + ambience overall. read more

The ambiance was very welcoming and peaceful. The service was excellent and the food was AMAZING! It's worth the drive and we will be going back!! read more

Marie was a fantastic server. Armando chatted with us quite a bit about this year old restaurant. Fantastic food. Okra sofrito is outrageously comfort food you didn't know you needed. The food is not drowning in sauces. The chicken in the tacos was seasoned well and not boring. All counterbalanced with poblano rice. My wife's shrimp was gorgeous, tasted amazing, and beautifully plated. Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere. Hi to Marie and Armando from Scott and Jennifer! Thanks for a great lunch! read more

Best Mexican food we have had anywhere. Presentation is great, the food taste outstanding and the service was great. Prices are definitely higher than you typically see at Mexican restaurants, but well worth the quality and taste of the food. Next time we are in the area, we will be going back for more! The ambiance is great too! read more

This was a new restaurant that I wanted you to try. From the inside and pictures, it looks really fancy, it's actually casual. Most of our food was really good. One in our party had a steak. They said the steak was kind of tough and hard to cut. The margaritas were good also. The service was also good. It's worth a try. read more

A fantastic hidden gem. Amazing elevated Mexican cuisine, comfortable modern chic ambience. Apps are wonderful!

It was our first time here and I ordered the 3 taco plate. The server said we could choose 3 different tacos if we wanted, so I chose 1 carne asada, 1 chicken tinga, and 1 mahi mahi. The mahi mahi was so dry an not edible. The server did not inform us that they charge you the price of the most expensive meat as if I ordered 3 carne asada tacos. There is a clear difference in price for chicken, fish, and carne asada. I mentioned it to the manager and he said that is how they do it. I also mentioned to the manager how the mahi mahi was so dry and not edible and he said he would let the kitchen know. Ummmm OK! So be aware when the server recommends the 3 taco plate with 3 different meats that you will be charged the most expensive meat price. I would not get the mahi mahi tacos again.... no bueno! read more

Arrived at Tulum around 1:50 PM on a Sunday. The outside of the restaurant was very clean and inviting. As we entered the restaurant we were greeted at the front door by the hostess. The interior of the restaurant was very upscale, and the lighting was purposefully dim. We were promptly seated in the rear of the restaurant towards the bar area. Less than three minutes after we were seated we were greeted by our server. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered two waters with lemon and a queso cheese dip. While we were waiting for our drinks and appetizer I couldn't help but notice all of the TVs around me. This was a negative for me, only because it was projected to customers that the restaurant attempting a high class, upscale dining experience, however the large TVs gave a sports bar/typical low end restaurant vibe. Also, something else that caught my ear was the music selection. Couldn't help but to notice Ariana Grande playing over the overhead speakers... I would expect a resturant that is aiming for a high class dining experience to play music that would be expected for those type of customers, like acoustic music with no singing. The server brought us three tostada shells, a bowl of house salsa, and house chipotle dip as a free appetizer. Shortly after our cheese dip with house made tortilla chips and our waters arrived. The appetizers were wonderful, no complaints. Cheese dip was hot and fresh, you could tell that it was house made. The water however was terrible. It tasted of sulfur/mineral water. I don't know what the solution to that is, but they will have to address it soon, especially with targeting high end customers. We ordered the Birria Tacos, with poblano macaroni and cheese, and refried beans. We also ordered Birria Ramen noddles, with a side of Okra Sofrito. The main dishes were fantastic. They were delivered steaming hot, and everything tasted as if fresh ingredients were used. Food was excellent, friendly staff, attentiveness, and knowledge of the staff members 10/10 Water was a huge point deduction. 1/10 TV's and music selection was also another large point deduction. 5/10 Overall, I rate this resturant 7.5/10. Definitely will be back to give this place another shot and eat the fantastic food. read more

This is my wife and my new favorite go to spot! The service, the ambience, the food, all utterly amazing! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Tulum did not disappoint. When dessert came, they special made it into the shape of a heart. The fire enhancements with the food at the table were brilliant! Shout out to Arianna for being so attentive. Josh, your passion for detail made our experience so delightful and Armando, thanks for your hospitality and bringing this fabulous restaurant to the area. It's well worth the drive from Mobile.

Went to Tulum Saturday evening. Do not go here if you want a taco truck Definitely go here if you want something more. My wife and I met friends here and the food was great. Now I also had an Oaxaca (sp?) old fashioned which started the meal off in a great way. It's made with Mezcal and orange and bitters. My wife and I both got chicken dishes which were fantastic and the Plano rice was very tasty but what isn't when you too it with queso ? Our friends dinners were also enjoyable. We all for left with smiles as the food was great the atmosphere was real nice. And the staff were on point. We will be back! read more

1st let me say the place is so beautiful! Our waitress Ashley was so nice and attentive to our needs. This place is nothing like I would expect from a "Mexican cuisine" it's very upscale, but yet you feel okay going in just everyday clothes . The food was superior to any other Mexican cuisine I've had it's not "fine dining " but it's not cheesy run of the mill Mexican restaurant. It is more expensive than other Mexican restaurants but this place is just a little bit more of an elevated dining experience so you're gonna pay a little more . It's the little things in the dishes that make it different than the other places . I will be going back , but I won't be going back if I just want some chips and salsa and a margarita, because the chips (unless you ask for chips ) is really a tostada with salsa , but the salsa is delicious. read more

The most disgusting food for the price. Drinks come out of cardboard milk containers. Food is better at the Taco Bell down the street. Save your money. This is the biggest foolish Mexican food. read more

This is the restaurant that we have been looking for. We have wanted to find a "Mexican" restaurant that was not typical. This place is beautiful on the inside and out. The decorations are classy and subtle. It makes the whole place feel very high end. The food was amazing. The Specialties are creative. I had the Pink Paradise Enchiladas which were shrimp with a roasted beet sauce. Very unique and delicious. It came with poblano rice that was very good. My wife had *ribeye* fajitas, a first. Cooked medium and so tender. It came with refried beans and rice but these were not the usual. The beans had a smoky bacon-y flavor and the rice was mild and definitely made in-house. We also had the okra sofritos that is hard to describe but was creamy and yummy. Will definitely get that again. Our server, Robert, was great. He was very knowledgeable and happy to help. He was also passionate about the restaurant. He was attentive but not overbearing. He had great recommendations. The fusion that they bring to different Mexican cuisines is refreshing and a welcome addition to the area. We will become regulars there. read more

We had a great anniversary dinner at Tulum. Gimo was our server and was the absolute best. He had such good recommendations and brought out a killer tres leches cake on the house after our meal to help us celebrate. This was my third time trying Tulum and it remains the top Mexican cuisine in the area, in my opinion. It is upscale with amazing appetizers, drinks (I had the house frozen margarita), entrees and desserts. The owner also came over to check on us and was more than kind. I will keep recommending it to everyone! read more

Very good food and excellent service. Been going since it opened, and can honestly say that the food just keeps getting better! Never thought I'd recommend a Mexican restaurant for a "date night", but I sure do!! Overall, Tulum is a great experience! read more

We had an amazing evening visiting Tulum! The staff was so nice, welcoming, and friendly! Our waiter was Conner and he was amazing!! We ordered the chips and queso, which was delicious and they also have 2 different salsas that were sooo good!! Then we ordered a margarita flight to share. You can choose 4 margaritas that are decently sized to have a taste test to see what you like! For entrees we had the chicken pastor and the baria tacos. So much food and again DELICIOUS! We were stuffed but my boyfriend really wanted sopipilla and they said they didnt have it on the menu but the chef, Armondo, still made it for him!! and i forgot to mention how beautiful the scenery is. You would never believe you are in Spanish Fort. This place is on a whole other level! Would 100% recommend. Will be going back again very soon! read more

Delicious food and impeccable service. Fantastic cocktail menu and good atmosphere!

cons: piña colada, corn/not tortillas, shrimp,tails on shrimp pros: management staff was very apologetic, and willing to do what was necessary to appease! I was given a piña colada taste/sample was improved, but it wasn't what it was During our previous visit, my daughter had shrimp that had been served De- tails, tonight mine had tails-on before I put any of the fajita ingredients, on the palm size tortilla which was an issue Despite these concerns, the manager approached us and expressed sincere apologies for the oversight. To rectify our experience, the manager offered complementary dishes tortillas including a piña colada. While the beverage was improved in taste, it did not match the exceptional quality I had previously enjoyed. I believe it is crucial for restaurants to maintain consistency in their offerings, as inconsistency can hinder their success. Consistency is indeed fundamental to ensuring customer satisfaction and long-term viability. read more

My wife and I went here for her birthday, and I'm so glad we did! After we left, we both agreed that Tulum was the best restaurant experience we had ever had in our lives, no hyperbole. We started with Maya's Gourmet Pizza, and Poblano Mac & Cheese. We then had the Succulent Quesadilla and Classic Enchiladas Trio for our entrees. All of the food was delectable. My wife also had a strawberry mango mocktail which was very tasty. To finish it off, we got the Amor Por Tres cake for her birthday celebration. The atmosphere was magical! You really feel like you're having an experience instead of a meal. All of the lighting and decor was designed beautifully. We took pictures in front of their wall that had the words "more amor por favor" Despite the food and atmosphere being top-notch, the service was the best part. Our server, Frances, was like a mindreader. She helped us with our food modifications, I never had to ask for a refill, and she offered to take photos for us before we were going to ask her. She was on point and truly made this a wonderful experience. The other staff members were also very friendly and... just amazing. I don't know how to describe it, other than best restaurant experience ever! Thank you Tulum! read more

Modern building, very pretty inside, but lacks "character" that is so delightful down here. Not a negative, but the place is modern. Service was just a touch slow. Non-stop suggestions for more apps was annoying. Food was okay - and tasty if you like tex/mex. Had several tastes from various dishes... tacos - tended toward sweet (actually, it was the beef mixture) and was the same across the spectrum. Chicken was okay - just not memorable. Bring out the chips and salsa without being asked. About a 3.5 stars experience. Kind of expensive, pretty regular, tex/mex fare. read more

TULUM Mexican Cuisine in Spanish Fort is amazing! It is culturally different than any other typical Mexician restaurant I have ever been. NO bright primary colored walls. NO circus music playing. NO typically salsa & chips, and NO sombreros.......... From the minute you walk in the door, you forget you're in Spanish Fort. The decor and atmosphere is like you're in a tropical oasis with water features everywhere. The food is absolutely delicious with both traditional and a new exciting contemporary flair. Not to mention the stunning presentation! The servers were all very attentive, friendly and professional. I could go on but you need to experience it for yourselves. YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT! You can thank me afterward! read more
