This place is beautiful inside. Well decorated. Lovely tables and decor. Service was top notch. Food was delicious! Ordered Eggs Ranchera and Asada nachos. Both very tasty. Added beans to nachos, it doesn't come with it, great beans too! Only downside, no fountain sodas, cans only. But everything else was superb! We will be back. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Went here on Monday night and the service was incredible. Everything's homemade, the tortillas, tortilla chips, salsa. All very good authentic Mexican food. It's nice and clean inside. Music playing friendly people. Will definitely be back to try more! 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

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

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

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

The pozole was very authentic and came with plenty of side dishes and spices to customize the flavor just the way you like it. The staff was incredibly friendly and checked on us throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. My husband ordered a tostada and enjoyed every bite, the flavors were well blended and delicious. My only small critique is that the restaurant felt a little chilly, but I do tend to run cold, so that may just be personal preference. Overall, a great meal and welcoming atmosphere. read more

I loved it! There was a mariachi band when I went to brunch and they saying to us. I love the mimosa flights and the overall ambience.

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

This place is really for the "aesthetics" the food was good, the service was good, but it's OVER PRICED! It was our first time there and for three people we spent over $100. I understand that everything is expensive nowadays, but they could've brought some of their prices down by at least a dollar or two that would've made a huge difference for the total amount. I wish I could go back, but I couldn't afford it. read more

I saw this new restaurant on Instagram and the video made it look great, so my husband and I decided to try the Manteca location this past Saturday. First off, it's on the older side of town -- no big deal -- but we had a hard time finding it since there was no visible sign out front. That probably should've been the first warning sign. We walked in through the bar area (not sure if that's the main entrance) and the doors were wide open. People at the bar just stared at us until a waitress finally came over and seated us. The place itself didn't look new at all. The menu was small and missing some basics like grilled chicken options. My husband ordered a lemonade and I got water -- his drink never arrived. It took quite a while for our food to come out. I ordered the pozole, and he ordered shrimp empanadas. My soup arrived first, and unfortunately, it was just warm, not hot. We waited and waited for his food, but it never came. When we finally mentioned it to the waitress, she rushed to the kitchen, and we waited even longer. The restaurant wasn't busy, and there seemed to be plenty of staff, so it was confusing why everything took so long. When we finally finished eating, it took forever to get our check. Overall, the food was mediocre, the service was slow, and the overall atmosphere was questionable. I really wanted to like this place -- our town could use a good new restaurant -- but this one missed the mark on several levels. read more

My daughter took me here for an additional birthday dinner. We were greeted upon entry and the restaurant was spacious and decorated as if you were in Mexico. The food was amazing. It was authentic and fulfilling. The service that we received from Sara was top tier as well. She checked on us periodically to make sure everything was good and if we needed any additional items. She suggested drinks as well as food seeing it was our first time there. My daughter informed her it was my birthday and towards the end of our dinner several staff members and Sara came over with light up party noise makers and a birthday shot that was delicious. read more

We were really excited about this place opening because it's around the corner from our house. We walk in and the welcoming was 5 stars! However, that's where that experience ended. Drinks were ok but weak. I ordered the Chicken De Tinga tostadas and my chicken was ice cold. My husband ordered the pozole and it was so bland. During the meal we asked for Chips and Salsa and our waitress brought out a side of Chile Oil and a side of seasoning? I've never been to a Mexican restaurant that doesn't offer chips and salsa as your sit down. I dont think we will be back as there are lots of options in town. read more

Service was not very good for not being busy, there was 2 other tables including ours in the whole restaurant yet we had to constantly ask for more water and boxes for leftovers multiple times, the automatic gratuity taken did not match the service that was received.

very good customer service. made my friends birthday such a fun experience. sweetest people ever

The restaurant is beautiful and inviting. All the employees are polite but seem to lack familiarity with their own menu or alternatives available when you can't eat a certain ingredient or food. We tried this restaurant twice and had the same experience with two different waiters. Another thing, what Mexican restaurant doesn't have fresh salsas?!? This was very disappointing as salsas are the final touch to any true Mexican dish or to even enjoy with some chips. Lastly, food lacks seasoning. We ordered guacamole twice, both times I found myself adding more salt and mixing it to get the right balance. Otherwise, we would be eating salt less guacamole. Enchiladas dish, great portions but bland. Again, lacking seasoning. Shrimp mango cocktail, too sweet. Sopes de asada, meat was served cold and dry. Once again, bland lacked seasoning. After giving it two opportunities I'm sad to say that I won't be returning. read more
