Had this spot bookmarked for a while. Finally got to stop by on the weekend. The ambiance is nice and clean. During my first visit I iwe were not able to place our order right away since there was a party of 20 people ahead of us so the kitchen was backed up. We had to wait for about 15 to 20 mins. Once we did we didn't have to wait long for our food. We ordered the asada plate, chicken enchiladas and taco gobernador. They were all delicious. On my second visit, I tried something else and ordered the empanadas de camaron. This dish was alright and tasted a bit bland even though it was served with guacamole. I was hoping to try the horchata drink, but it wasn't available yet. Overall, good food and service. Will be back again. read more

Our Honest Review Soup Trio - 10/10 This was absolutely worth the price! Being able to sample all three soups made it a great value, and the barbacoa was the clear favorite for both of us. Rich, flavorful, and something we'd definitely order again. Aguachile Trio - 5/10 The presentation was beautiful, but we expected the shrimp to be marinated in each sauce. Instead, the shrimp tasted like they had been soaked in lime first, with the sauces poured over afterward. The sauces were good on their own, but they didn't fully soak into the shrimp, so the flavors didn't come together the way we hoped. Chicharrón con Guacamole - 6/10 It looked amazing when it arrived, but after a few bites the chicharrón had become soft from sitting in the rendered fat. We were hoping for a crispier texture to balance the fresh guacamole. read more

Tulum Mexican Kitchen - The El Trío $19 Soup Trio - 10/10 - Mexican Near Me - Manteca, California

I was very disappointed with my experience. The nachos were served with cold shredded cheese that wasn't even melted, making them unappetizing. The carne asada was extremely dry and lacked flavor because it was overcooked. The soups were even worse the broth was unusually thick with an unpleasant texture and taste. Overall, the food quality was far below expectations, and I would not return based on this visit. I hope the restaurant improves its food preparation and quality control. read more

Tulum Mexican Kitchen - Verde agua Verde Aguachile - Mexican Near Me - Manteca, California

We were greeted in Spanish, I don't know if they understand English much because we pointed to the names on the items we wanted on the menu and asked for no jalapeños. Our item we asked for no jalapeños came with jalapeños. They only took some of the jalapeños off so it was a bit spicy for my liking. The crepes seemed like pancakes so they need to change the name on their menu items to pancakes instead It's nice inside, the decor is great but the lighting needs a bit of work because it doesn't pull the ambiance together. Seems like a spot for date night. I took my girls and were not really dressed up for this place that seems best to be dressed up for. We had to ask for boxes and then the check when I know I asked for it when we asked for the boxes. I do want to come by and try their drinks so I will give them another chance but when I'm with just my cousin instead with her and our kids. read more

If you're looking to take a step into authentic Mexico, look no further than Tulum in Manteca. From the very first step into the restaurant we were greeted right away with a smile and a handshake. We were immediately seated in the dining area and when we entered we immediately loved the vibe. It was like your own mini escape into Tulum with all the fresh and carefully selected decor. We sat down and decided on a couple cocktails. When I say that the only thing missing to a mini vacation was the beach after that first sip of the El Rompe Corazones, I kid you not. It tasted amazing with the perfect mix of coconut rum and guava juice. We decided on the birria Pambazos and obsessed over every bite. They were delicious, perfectly crafted and melted at every nibble. For my entree I went with the Empanadas a Cameron and could tell there was a lot of love and effort put into this meal, the seasoning was perfect, the tortillas used were homemade, and there was a perfect amount of cheese and sauce. We also ordered the Tacos de Ribeye and no crumb was left behind. Warm homemade tortillas wrapped around the perfect grill of steak left us stuffed and completely content. To finish off the evening I decided on one more cocktail, Tu Tormento, and it was exactly as it was described, intense and tropical If you're looking for a mini getaway that's light on the wallet but heavy on the vibe, make your way to this hidden boho-luxe experience. read more

From the moment we walked in, we could feel the heart behind this place. It's one of those rare restaurants where you instantly sense that it's family-owned -- full of warmth, kindness, and genuine care. Everyone was smiling, chatting, and making sure we felt comfortable. The atmosphere is beautiful It's the kind of place that reminds you why family-run restaurants are the heart of a community. Food we tried: chilaquiles, steak breakfast burrito, many kids food options, and enchiladas Stephanie was our favorite waitresses and took good care of us. She was very professional read more

Ambiance is really chic and picture ready. Really cute. Service was fast , celebrated my mother's birthday and seated all of us fast. We ordered a lot of things and everything was delicious! Had to ask to remake the cheeseburger and they didn't hesitate or gave us push back. Very professional. I highly recommend the camarones à la diabla ! Spicy but delicious! 10/10 recommend this place. read more

This was a good restaurant. My mom recommended it. The service was A+. Staff was very nice and made us feel welcomed. The ambiance was poppin' especially the music. I loved the merengue and cumbia. The decor was super cute. I love the greenery and all the Mexican dishes and decorations. The food: the food was good but not the best. I ordered the tacos and they were well cooked but they needed some salt.. they were very bland. Other than that, the presentation was gorgeous. We also ordered the chicharrón con guacamole but the chicharrón needed slower cooking to be able to get crispy as it felt gummy to me. I loved the churros with ice cream!! That was perfect! I had the mimosa and will have that again. I also had the Cafe the olla and that too was perfect. All in all, I will eat here again and I highly recommend. read more

Great food caring service. Going today with family. They have excellent tacos and appetizers.

Came during the week night. Its in the middle of a shopping center so there was plenty of parking. We came in and were seated right away. Beautiful spot. Lovely decorations. Great music. I definitely loved the vibe. Its a pretty large restaurant so it can hold a lot of people. The menu had some great options. Unique items not found at other local restaurants. The chips and the tortillas are made fresh. The steak tacos had a lot fo meat with delicious sides. Only concern was the meat wasnt hot. Not sure if it was pre-made or left out too long after made but the steak was room temp. Other than that the sides/toppings really gave it good flavor. We also ordered the trio (soups) it was delicious. I also enjoyed that it came with all the toppings. The staff was nice and friendly. They do speak English (read another review about them possibly not understanding english, but we didnt have that problem at all). Id definitely return and try some more options because overall the food was good, just a little pricey. read more

Tulum Mexican Kitchen - Café de la olla - Mexican Near Me - Manteca, California

The food and drinks are really good here however there are a few things that take this place down a notch. During busy hours especially for Mother's Day, they really need a front desk reception area to intake customers. It gets really uncomfortable when you have a bunch of people standing in the entry way watching everyone seated and eating. Next thing is the people taking orders. Please double check and make sure you are taking the correct order as it's been twice now since we've been here and our orders have been brought to our table and something was incorrectly ordered. Prices are pretty hefty too so depending on what you order, a party of 4 can run you out the door close to $200! Other than that the bar is perfectly placed to have a drink and wait to be seated but again as mentioned, put up a screen or front reception desk to seat customers as they come in. read more

I really wanted to like this place more -- and honestly kept trying to give it a chance because it's so cute inside. The décor is beautiful with a fun, tropical vibe that makes you want to stay and hang out. The drinks were tasty, too. The menu, however, felt small and not very organized. I'd definitely recommend a little menu revamp to make it clearer and easier to navigate. Where I took off a star was the food -- it was a bit bland and came out just warm instead of hot. The second star came off for the service. I'm very patient with customer service because I know things get busy, but we had to ask for things multiple times, items were forgotten, and everything just took a long time. There seemed to be a lack of communication between the staff, and it was pretty noticeable. I know they're still new, so I'm hopeful they'll iron out the kinks. Maybe I'll give it another try in a few months to see how things improve, because the space itself really does have potential read more

Oh Tulum! We were excited to try this place disregarding the reviews. I ordered enchiladas they were bomb. However the service was not really the best. We had a spilled drink situation and used all our napkins, the workers looked at us a few times as they passed by and never offered to help or bring a towel for the floor until we asked. Also, I'm not sure if they were really wanting to provide a full Tulum experience but it was super hot in the restaurant no AC was on. Also the guacamole was nasty and when receiving tortillas with your order and they ask corn or something flour, our party asked for flour, and each person only got one tortilla. Although the food was good, I do not see us coming back to this establishment. read more

Checked out the new Tulum Mexican Kitchen in Manteca. We ordered the queso fundido and the "trio" sampler (menudo, pozole, and barbacoa), plus sides of rice and beans. Flavors were solid, but most dishes arrived warm rather than hot--which was disappointing, especially for the menudo and pozole that I prefer piping hot. The queso fundido was the exception; it came out sizzling with chorizo on top. Tasty, though I wish it were a cheese sauce instead of straight melted cheese--once it cooled, it set into a single chewy piece. The location is in a shopping center with a pretty unassuming entrance, and you walk right into the bar area, so finding a host was a bit confusing. Overall, I'd give it another try next time we're in the area. The seasoning is there; I'm hoping the kitchen serves everything hot on the next visit. read more

Very good Barbacoa and Micheladas. Service was good and I did really like the decor inside the restaurant read more

The food was very salty. I ordered the trio which included menudo, posole and birria. They were not hot they were warm almost cold. So I'm thinking they probably cook it the day before and just leave it out overnight and just serve it like that which is a big no no! I didn't finish my food because as i mentioned it was so salt and cold. And the menudo and posole was not good. My husband got the enchiladas and they were also extremely salty didn't finish his plate either. We will definitely not be returning. read more

Want to try out this new Mexican restaurant and I had El Trio and it's a combination of Menudo, posole, and birria. The Menudo was terrible. It looks sad and old tribe. The honeycomb was old. The service was good. Their homemade corn tortillas were very good, but I don't plan on going back to there again I'm a huge Menudo lover and that was my tester for Mexican restaurant. If the Menudo good and all the rest of the food is good, but this Menudo was not good. I don't recommend the Menudo. read more

We were a party of 8. I would start by saying how cute this place was, the employees were all very nice. I ordered the Posole and thought it needed flavor, after reading other reviewsu I noticed someone saying their Posole was also bland. The pork was very fatty. I gave my leftovers a second chance and felt something in my mouth, it was a small bone. Another in our group said he felt like his food was bland. My daughter ordered the French toast, she said it was good and her BF ordered the Birria tacos, he also said his was good. Our drinks were all very good. But agree with other reviews that it was pricey. read more

Stopped in for Tacos while doing some laundry in the same shopping center. First time at Talum. Nice inside, really clean and my wife and I were greeted by our server. Ordered the Al pastor tacos.

We also enjoyed a birthday celebration music . I forgot to mention that the tortillas were homemade. read more

We went last weekend, just wanted to see the options. We all enjoyed the atmosphere, food and the service. We have many mexican restaurants in town, but I urge you to try them all.

I highly recommend Tulum in Manteca. My wife and I ate here today. It was our first time. We had the menudo and the chilaquiles with mole sauce. Very delicious. And Stephanie was very helpful especially for suggestions on the menu and things to think about for next. The menudo is made without hominy and the broth is very rich and flavorful (I like menudo without hominy and the tripe was yummy). And the chilaquiles were amazing. The corn tortillas are made on site. You need to give this place a try. read more

First, was greeted right away and offered a seat, server offered drinks. Positive: 1. Good service 2. Clean restaurant 3. Every one seemed friendly 4. Handmade corn tortillas. Negative 1. Ordered the Carne en su Jugo. Which is falsely advertised. It was in green sauce and not in its own juice. (NOW I KNOW WHY THE MEAT WAS NOT IN ITS OWN JUICE, READ MY UPDATE BELOW) 2. The beef was also not prepared like it should have. It was just cut up carne asada in green enchilada sauce and not in its own juice. This dish should have chunks of beef. 3. I mentioned my disappointment to the server. 4. Ate half of it and brought the rest home. 5. I read in as some reviews that they charge for chips and salsa, I'm not sure, I didn't ask for any but was served right away. Chips were homemade, salsa was runny but did have a 'hot' taste. UPDATE- now I know what the distinct flavor was in my food. It was BURNT BEANS. I wasn't too impressed. Especially after it set me back around 23.00 dollars. Someone needs to work on quality assurance. Many have told me it's food with no flavor. I think they are right. The beans at del taco are way way u read more

My goodness the food the drinks and the staff!!! Everything was amazing. First time here and certainly going to come back. We arrived about 2.5 hours before closing time with barely anyone there so wait was not experienced here. Celebrating mine and 2 other family members. We received our cocktail drinks right away which were delicious along with our beer drinks. Ordered when everyone was ready. Food came out surprisingly at a perfect time less than 20 minutes. All our dishes tasted amazing so whichever chef's was working tonight 1/17/26 great job everything was cooked perfectly. Our waiters Sophia and Rodolpho were great hostess and made us feel comfortable and welcome and never rushed us to leave given we arrived pretty close to closing. They even provided a fun mini birthday baile chant with a shot and desert at the end. We will definitely be coming back. Food and drinks were a bit on the higher price but worth it at least to our group it was. Tip/ tip percentage is automatically added to your bill when it's I believe 4+ people so don't be surprised . The place has been renovated and has a beautiful boho clean look to it as you walk in, very enjoyable atmosphere. read more

1 Star I really wanted to like this new spot, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. I started with a guava margarita made with their house tequila, and when I asked about upgrading to a better tequila, I was told it would be an extra $20 -- which is outrageous. I ordered the guacamole and chips, but the guacamole had zero flavor -- just mashed avocado with a few bits of cilantro and tomato. I asked for salsa, and they brought out two squeeze bottles: one was extremely hot and the other had no flavor at all. I even ordered a side of beans just to have something with some taste, but that didn't help much either. For two house margaritas, guacamole, and a side of beans, my total came to $56, which felt way overpriced for what I got. Sadly, I won't be coming back. Hopefully they can improve the flavors and pricing because the space itself had potential, but right now it's not worth it. read more
