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

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.

The barbacoa plate was very good & my michelada was just right. I recommend this restaurant

Service is great and attentive. Went in for breakfast and the food was delicious. Can't wait to come back to try out more of their menu. The ambience is very nice as well! read more

Good food with okay service. Such a big transition in the interior. Very nice dining experience.

We've been here twice already. The food is tasty, the restaurant's look is fine and clean. The staff seem like they need a bit more time to get up and running, but they just opened recently so I have high hopes for them to eventually become a 5-star Yelp restaurant, which the city needs immensely. read more

Barbacoa plate was delicious although I would have enjoyed some salsa and a lemon wedge (( I actually took the wedge off my drink for my food)). It wasn't till later that I looked around and saw another customer with a bottle of what looked like green tomatillo salsa . Personally I think the drinks are way overpriced ! A Can soda comes in at $4, and a lemonade at $7. Drinks like a margarita are also cutting it close to the same price as a meal which I'm not willing to pay . I also tried the green chile enchiladas and they were delicious. The decor within the restaurant is okay ...not the biggest fan of fake plants hanging but hey ‍ to each their own . The location is spacious and they have a large screen towards the back . No chips and salsa served , I rarely eat at Mexican restaurants because hello Mexican food at home . But I have never not had chips and salsa not served to begin with. read more

Was so excited to try it out and unfortunately it was a miss! We got there and it was hot in the place. Sat at the bar while we waited for our table, bartender was slammed and by himself. Drink was good but not $16 worthy! Ordered a molcajete and shrimp empanadas and had 2 more drinks.. $160 ... not worth it.. the molcajete was soupy and no cheese...lacked flavor..the empanadas were okay...not much flavor.. our second round of drinks was horrible... it was missing an ingredient. Such a bummer! read more

We tried Tulum Mexican Restaurant today and we really, really liked the Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas. The service was great and they kept checking in on us if we needed anything. They had great Mexican music playing, although it was a little bit too loud. All in all it was very good and I definitely will be back and trying their breakfast! read more

recently visited this new restaurant, and I was so impressed! The food was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right. You can tell they really care about providing great service and quality food. read more

A lot of hype about this restaurant so I was excited to check it out , so we took the drive to check this place out. Very nice setting I will give it that and that's what the 1 star is for. To me, it was overpriced, overhyped and underachieved at the same time. The salsas were very weak and runny as you can't even scoop it with a chip that I had to buy as they don't even offer chips with salsa like most Mexican restaurants do , You have to buy them. At the same time, the guacamole had no flavor nor seasonings like all the food we had tried, had to use pepper and salt and mix some watery salsa in it just to be able to eat it as it was pure smashed avocados with no veggies no lime nor salt or pepper . We tried this place twice to give it a chance and both times was a very bad experience. The food is bland and needs flavor across the board. Very disappointing, I hope things change for them but sad to say we will not come back to this place. Service is also another area that they lacked in missing some side items ordered, and after asking a few times they never came. The food was served and we didn't see our waiter for at least 10 minutes. I had to get up to go ask for Lemons and napkins myself . Small portions, very expensive and the food is weak !!!! On the way out the manager did ask me how was everything, so I decided to let him know what I thought and was trying to make some suggestions as I pulled him to the side but then he didn't want to hear it and pretty much rushed me out and mind me I was being polite and quiet about it to him to be respectful. Sorry that's horrible . Never again !!!! read more

Went for lunch with my friends. And when we arrived the men brought us to be be seated. We were all sitting in a line from back to front in one area of the restaurant you can't pick where to sit. I asked him if we can sit in the other side since is empty and didn't want to be squished in the middle like everyone else. He said no that and that that's how we have to sit . Only 2 hostesses for everyone during lunch time. Took 20 minutes to be asked if we wanted something to drink and another 55 minutes to get our food. And let me tell you that they have the prices like it's a high end restaurant. Drinks are 18 dollars and if I want to get a taco it will cost you 19 dollars. For that price just go to chámpala here in town and they have the best tacos. And only 2.75. And the end the food took too long and had no flavor and way too overpriced. Will not be going anymore. Once was enough!! And what's with all that green everywhere!!! read more

Won't be returning, they kept making mistakes on my order and when our plates finally came out the meat was cold even on the appetizers, if I can rate it a 0 I would! read more

Prices outrageous compared to most Mexican restaurants in Manteca, Don't think they'll last long in Manteca, people won't pay those prices some will, then it will end up being a one and done. read more

Unless you're accompanied by another person, be prepared to be asked to sit at the BAR! I refused the bar option and asked for a table. I had to wait for about 15 minutes before getting seated. I decided not to patronize them and walked out. Tulum , I understand that it is more profitable for you to sit single people at the bar . Please note that some single people like to enjoy a restaurant without sharing elbows with other people. read more

Wanting to try something new, I'd suggested Tulum for our monthly dinner social. We are a party of five. I was a bit leery, considering the mixed reviews I'd read, but upon arriving we were greeted by a friendly gentleman, who seated us promptly. The place is clean and spacious--nice decor. Our waitress (Itzel), greeted us with chips and salsa, then took our order for beverages and appetizers. Appetizers ordered: Asada Nachos, Guacamole, Queso Fundido. Appetizers were served fresh and tasty, especially the guacamole (spiced just right). One of the reviews complained about the music. So I had that review on my mind while dining and conversing with my friends (we're an older age group). Actually, music was playing in the background, but it was given all of us "Fiesta" vibes. We ordered dinner. Tostadas de Tinga; Chicken Enchiladas (green sauce); Coctel de Camarón; Tacos Al Pastor. The food was served generously plated (reasonably priced), and no one complained (cause we can be a bit high maintenance...lol). With it being the holiday season, it turned out to be a very nice, festive evening with good food, friends, and conversation. read more

Amazing mexican food and service order the fish highly recommend, come for a great time. We came for my moms bday and she loved it.

As you walk in, they have a nice bar to the left and two large booth seating areas on the right. Once you pass the bar, you enter the dining area. They have really nice green and tropical decor. You can sit in either one of the booths, a regular table or a high table in the back. There is plenty of seating here. While we were enjoying the scenery, we were greeted by the owner and one of the servers. I have to say that everyone working there are one of the nicest wait staff I've ever met. Everyone is SO NICE! Once we were seated at a booth, I ordered Esquites as an appetizer and the steak sopes as my main dish. The sopes come with three and they are filling! I was only able to eat two. My family members with me ordered Mole de Pollo, Tacos Al Pastor and Chicken Tinga Enchiladas. Everything we ate was DELICIOUS!! We had the Jamaica for our drink and they came in a beautiful ceramic cup. They also have several different drinks on the menu, from Mimosas to tequila shots, soft drinks, classic drinks, Jamaica, and more! They have a variety of desserts which include: cheesecake, mini pan dulce, flan, molten chocolate cake & churro ice cream. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the place is amazing! I highly recommend coming here. You will be Happy you did! We definitely will be back! read more

The food was really good full of lots of flavor, when you first walk in it's a little confusing because there is no podium, but there's always a gentleman who's there to receive you who is super friendly name Rodolfo "el parcero" . As far as the service goes we've been here several times And we understand that they are just starting off and working extremely hard and working out the kinks so anybody getting upset about faster, service or anything like that is being too hard on A new Business, as far as the ambience I really like what they did with the place they have really good taste and you can tell the invested a decent amount of money to make it look the way it does . Overall, I'm really happy we have something different in Manteca and although some people are going to say another Mexican food restaurant, yes it's Mexican food it's delicious get over it , this is Mexican food with a twist and I appreciate that :) read more

It's just way too expensive for the amount of food you get. The food is okay but not great or worth the price. The atmosphere is vibrant, REALLY loud. We were a table of 12, ordered chips and salsa and maybe we got 12 chips on this tiny plate. When going out, there are a lot of options so I will definitely not choose Tulum. read more

Very expensive for what you get. $29 for tacos with no sides and you even have to pay for chips and salsa Overall service and ambiance was amazing but menu is not traditional menu and very pricey. read more

Absolutely awful food. We ordered 6 meals and couldnt eat any of them. Inedible. Service was good . Staff was friendly amd responsive. Just really bad food and really over priced . No fountain soda. $4 can of coke. 6 meals with no alcohol or appetizers $167. read more

Food was good. However, I have never paid for chips and salsa at a mexican restaurant. The music was not traditional mexican music...it was more club music and was super distracting during dinner. We almost didn't stay....the vibe just wasn't right. It's too bad because we were excited to try. We don't plan to return. read more

First time here and everything was great. Staff was super friendly. Food was delicious and drinks....AMAZING! The inside of the restaurant feels like you're on vacation. Highly recommended. read more

Way overpriced no chips and salsa jus Mexican fast food like Chipotle 2 orders of shrimp tacos Govenodors and lack of spices no apmapher 1 soda and 1 beer 55.00 was it good no flavor never again read more

Food was so bad, chilaquiles looked microwaved and chicken looked defrosted and microwaved, the food itself is a scam and the people were rude thinking we didn't pay, literally chased us down the street to make sure we paid when we literally had THE RECEIPT IN OUR HANDS and said oh we just thought you guys left without paying like byeeeee. place is cute but food is so BASIC just eat at home! read more

I went in to get some chips and salsa .. omg I got some watery "so called salsa" I mean it was watery ... no tomatoes no onions like the typical salsa you get with chips . So I took it back . My theory in trying Mexican restaurants you've never been to ... is to try the salsa, if it's terrible you know the rest of the food is not gonna be good.. if they can't get salsa right, they're not gonna get the food, right . read more

Absolutely horrible. made reservations for eight people for my daughter's 20th birthday. As we arrived, we were seated right away. We sat in the very back right next to a huge speaker that was extremely loud. We had three 60 year olds and an 80-year-old with us. We asked them to turn it down and finally after about the fifth time and telling them we would leave they turned it down, but just a little. Someone came to take our order and they do not have found drinks only can. So most of us ordered ice water. Also chips and salsa are not included. We ordered two orders and there were about 10 chips in each order. Very tiny and the bean dip was very bland. We ordered all of our food and had questions on the menu because it is a little confusing and not like normal. No one spoke English. It was very hard to communicate and ask questions about their menu and no one really knew any answers. After we placed our order about 45 minutes later, food started coming out. They brought someone else's order to our table. After we sent it back, they started to bring out our order. An hour and a half later and my grandpa still did not have his food. An omelette. Another 25 minutes go by and we canceled his plate. Everyone was done and ready to go and he still had not been served. All eight of us received our food in a 30 minutes span. It was absolutely ridiculous. on top of that, They charged us gratuity 18%. Not one time did they refill our waters or soda. When you mess up that bad that someone doesn't even get their food, you do not charge gratuity. In fact you do anything you can to make it up to them. Not one person became an apologized or tried to make it right. They were extremely rude. I will never go back . read more
