Lobster enchiladas
Doug B.

Tulum OC had been on our radar for a while, so I brought my girlfriend here to celebrate Mother's Day (apologies for the late review). You can make a reservation on Yelp. The parking lot around the restaurant is pretty small, but they appear to share the entire lot with the motel. It was pretty full on Mother's Day as you might expect. I didn't see a "hotel guests parking only" sign by any of the motel spots, so I parked in one of them with no issues. YMMV. Even though we had a reservation, we still had to wait about twenty minutes for a booth. It's Mother's Day, so it's understandable and they were packed. The restaurant feels roomy with its high ceilings, and is decorated nicely. They have a photo op wall with greenery and a neon sign. There was Mexican music playing at a moderate volume. We were greeted at our table in a timely manner, and were served complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was excellent and unique. It was a spicy creamy avocado salsa, and our server said it also had cilantro and squash in it. Unfortunately, the chips were mediocre at best, and a little stale. We ordered the guacamole ($16) which was tasty, but it came with more of the same bad stale chips. We also ordered the crab stuffed jalapenos ($18). The plate comes with four and they are bacon wrapped, topped with queso fresco cheese, and served with a cilantro ranch sauce. They were cooked well, but had a very fishy smell after taking a bite. I wouldn't order these again. We wanted to order the margarita flight, but they said they weren't offering it on Mother's Day. Instead, I had the tamarindo margarita (house-made tamarindo, no other ingredients listed, $16). It was good, but mostly tasted like a regular margarita. I've only had a few cocktails containing tamarind, so maybe the flavor was lost on me. She had the smoked pineapple margarita (natural pineapple, no other ingredients listed, $16). The menu says it is prepared table-side with a rosemary-smoked glass and a special ice cube, but it just came to the table like a regular drink. Again, they said no show since its Mother's Day and they're too busy. However, it was an excellent margarita, probably the best pineapple margarita we've tasted. It was obviously made with freshly juiced pineapple, and had a light smokiness on the finish. She just had the potato taquitos ($14) for her entrée. She enjoyed them, but they arrived barely warm. The plate also came with a green salsa, not the salsa roja listed on the menu. I had the lobster enchiladas ($26), but they didn't arrive until 15 minutes after her taquitos. They did have a good amount of lobster inside, but the sauce was extremely rich and too heavy for my taste. I would not order them again. Service was ok, they were very busy. We were sitting next to each other on one side of a booth. There was a strange moment when our server kneeled half way across the other side of our booth to talk to another table which was pretty intrusive and honestly a bit of a WTF moment. I hate leaving bad reviews, but there's no way to sugar coat this one. We won't be returning.

Dinner menu

Fun atmosphere and unique food! Came here on a Friday evening for dinner. We made reservations just in case they were busy. It wasn't overly crowded but the reservations were a good idea. Service was wonderful except for one hiccup with the bill. They charged us for the wrong table, but when pointed out they fixed it, albeit a bit slowly. The wait staff were all very friendly however and on top of the service. Pedro especially deserves a shoutout for all the help! We started with a margarita flight, you get to choose 4 flavors to try. They were all good but mango was my favorite for sure. The crab filled jalapeño poppers were delicious and different. Their sopa Azteca was absolutely delicious, like a thick, creamy, spicy tortilla soup. Worth a try. I got the cochinita pibil which was like carnitas, it was very good. The wife got the beef birria plate which was so flavorful. Their rice is so fluffy I couldn't get enough. We had enough left over for another meal or two. I'd definitely come back to try some other dishes, especially some of their steaks.

The food was really good I 100% recommend !! Our Server Pedro was amazing gave us the best service very attentive and kind.

Cochinita Pibil
Ryan S.

Came here for dinner with some friends and we ordered a variety of dishes. The service here was very quick and they refilled our drinks many times without us asking. I ordered the cochinita pibil, and they were nice to give me an extra serving of rice instead of beans. The plate also came with tortillas. The pork was very soft and juicy! It was very flavorful and it came with a lot of pork. We enjoyed our meal and had a nice time.

Margarita flight
Victoria P.

Nice interior that somewhat channels Tulum vibes. For a Friday night it was pretty easy to get a table. Don't think a rsvp was necessary. There's open parking which was easy. As for service, it was a bit odd. When asked if there were any nonalcoholic beverages, the waitress looked shocked and said: it's not worth ordering. Because I was in medication I told her I can't have anything with alcohol and then she proceeded to suggest a mojito (not sure why that wasn't the answer when first asked). Outside of that the potato taquitos were decent and I enjoyed the lobster enchiladas. My friend ordered the margarita flight and said all the drinks didn't taste good, and didn't end up finishing the flight. I think this place is worth trying to form your own opinion, and prices were generous. I just don't think it's my go to for Mexican cuisine.

Green salsa enchiladas
Danny V.

I recently had dinner at a this Mexican restaurant that absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The decor was vibrant without feeling over-the-top, beautiful hanging lanterns that gave the whole space a cozy, authentic feel. It felt like stepping into a lively cantina, but with a modern, polished touch, but more classy. The service was just as impressive as the setting. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel welcome right away. Our server was attentive without hovering, quick with recommendations, and clearly passionate about the menu. The food itself was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care--from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the rich, house-made salsas. Every bite tasted authentic and thoughtfully prepared. If you're looking for a place with fantastic Mexican cuisine, standout service, and a fun, stylish atmosphere, this spot is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes.

Bone Marrow
Bri B.

The vibes. The food. The service. Yes yes yes! I had grilled bone marrow for the first time and it was pleasantly satisfying. Definitely will visit again

Decore inside
Jackie P.

I felt so bad for the server who was solo for an hour with no help and 4-5 tables, but she did FANTASTIC!! The food was just ok though, the steak was overcooked, ordered medium rare, received medium well - yikes. The mole was so good!! Used that instead of the red sauce on chilaquiles, but the eggs were still too (white) runny, should've ordered scrambled eggs It was an ok first visit, doubt we'll be back Decore and photo ops are plenty!!

Service was good unfortunately food wasn't that good. I was expecting so much more drove , out here from Corona. Waste of time waste of gas place as potential. They need to step up the game with better flavor with their dishes. I've been to Tulum a number of times, and this restaurant puts them to shame on the flavor of their food. There aguas frescas, were probably the worst I've ever had.

Lobster enchiladas
Stephanie T.

Came here at 6 pm on a Friday when it wasn't busy. It did get busier later in the evening. This place is aesthetically cute with fake vines hanging on the light fixtures. We got complimentary chips with a spicy green salsa. We ordered the salmon and lobster enchiladas. The lobster enchiladas were fine. I wasn't impressed by them much. I felt that they lacked seasoning. However, the salmon was incredible. Loved the cooked veggies that came with it: peppers, onions, zucchinis. I think the mashed potatoes had garlic seasoning and were addicting. The salmon was cooked perfectly. It was mixed with some sort of lobster cream sauce and balsamic sauce. The combination of flavors was deliciously unique. The service we received was incredible. Lauren was welcoming and fun. Loved her vibe.

First time trying cochinita pibil, pretty good
Helen P.

The decor is what brought us in. We were looking for something that was centralized for our family that was coming from all different directions. I found this on yelp and loved the decor pics. The fajitas were super good, our favorite. We can't compare the cochinita pibil as it was our first time trying but we thought it was pretty good. I also tried the sopa azteca but it was so spicy for me. Appetizer tacos were super yummy! Overall, we had a great time and the service was great! We went on a Friday night and were seated right away.

Cochinita Pibil
Nikki S.

The Lunch Bunch crew, better known as the Hungry Circle met at Tulum OC last Friday. 1pm on a weekday, we had the choice of seats. Luis, maître de & server was very pleasant and accommodating. He would get 5 stars if I could. For as much as we ordered it came out very quickly. It was unfortunate that none of us enjoyed the Aguachiles as the shrimp was not thoroughly cleaned. The Birria Plate was a bit cold and needed more seasoning. The crab enchiladas were okay, but I really couldn't taste the crab. Cochiniata Pibil (pork) was delicious along with the lobster enchilada (good deal of lobster) the sauce was a bit heavy for me. Now the Fajitas...shrimp, chicken, steak was excellent. The steak was melt in your mouth and with all the food we wanted to try, I had some for lunch the next day. Would I return, probably not as in my mind it's a bit over priced. Was it worth it, yes...but we have many more restaurants to try with our crew! See you next time

Inside decor
Kristine F.

Wow! I've never been to Tulum, Mexico but I'm pretty sure the ambiance at this restaurant embodies the tasty foodie aspect and accommodating atmosphere. They even have karaoke Friday & Saturday nights in their larger back room! The Spanish aunties & uncles were crooning classic rock tunes, according to my friend. Dance party included =) Jinneth was our lovely waitress and she treated us like family. She was friendly and so genuine. She noticed my friend's phone battery had died and she offered to charge it. Drinks: *White Sangria *Strawberry Margarita *Strawberry Mexican Mule Eats: *Complimentary Chips & two different salsa: rojo y aguacate (avocado) caliente *Choriqueso-- chorizo queso dip with amazing flour tortillas! *Fajita Mar y Tierra *Lobster Enchiladas *Cheese Chile Relleno *Asada Tacos I've been relearning Spanish via Duolingo and Jinneth must've thought I spoke fluently after ordering the fajitas lol! She asked how I wanted the steak cooked. Medium well for me and the grilled trio of chicken, steak, and shrimp comes with fluffy arroz, frijoles, y tortillas de maiz (rice, beans, corn tortillas). So much yum! There's cream sauce under the shrimp. Plump shrimp with just the tail shell on, easy to eat. Choriqueso was so good hot with the yummiest flour tortillas! Seemed housemade and had the perfect chew. My friend was so excited to get the chile relleno and luckily got the last order of the night! Drinks were sweet and refreshing. I'll have to get a mule or mojito next time. Everything looked absolutely amazing and tasted even better! Beautiful ambiance with warm mood lighting and Boheme-style wicker lamps. The tv monitor above the front entrance rotates between vibrant visuals of the Mexican ocean. So serene and relaxing. Take a look out the window for nightly firework views from Disneyland!

I paid $17.54 for a biscuit with egg, cheese, turkey sausage, and a black iced coffee. The biscuit was decent, but fairly small, and nothing about the sandwich felt premium enough to justify the price. The turkey sausage tasted like a standard pre-made sausage, and if there was a significant upcharge for choosing turkey, it didn't feel warranted. The coffee was fine. It was a basic black iced coffee, good enough, but not something that stood out or justified a premium price. My biggest issue is the value. Nearly $18 for a simple breakfast sandwich and a plain black iced coffee feels excessive for what was served. I've also noticed that the total seems to vary from visit to visit, making it difficult to know what to expect when ordering. I genuinely like the people who work here and wish them success. This review isn't about the staff. For me, it's simply a matter of price versus value, and I can no longer justify spending this much for a basic breakfast and coffee. Biscuit: 7/10 Coffee: 7/10 Overall value: 3/10

Dear Broken Yolk Cafe Management,…read more I am reaching out regarding the disappointing experience my partner and I had at your Fullerton location on October 25. We chose your restaurant because we were looking forward to enjoying a nice breakfast together. We were seated immediately, which was appreciated, but unfortunately we were not greeted by our server for approximately 12 minutes. I understand that Sunday breakfast service can be extremely busy, and I recognize that the staff may have been overwhelmed. However, the lack of acknowledgment during that time was disappointing. Once our server, Victoria, arrived, we placed our order right away. We ordered two mimosas, a coffee, an orange juice, a ribeye breakfast, and the Salmon Benedict. It took about seven minutes to receive our beverages, and by the time our food arrived, both meals were cold. When Victoria stopped by and asked if everything was okay, my partner politely let her know that our food was cold. Rather than apologizing or showing any concern, her response was, "Would you like me to microwave it?" That comment was surprising and honestly insulting. At no point did she apologize, acknowledge the issue, or take ownership of the situation. Offering to microwave a cold meal is not the level of hospitality or customer service I would expect from a full-service restaurant. I came to your establishment expecting to enjoy a quality sit-down breakfast with good food and professional service. Instead, I left feeling disappointed by both the food and the way the situation was handled. Mistakes happen, especially during busy shifts, but how those mistakes are addressed is what defines good customer service. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect that. If this is the standard of service at your restaurant, then I will choose not to return. However, I wanted to share my experience in the hope that it can be used as a coaching opportunity so future guests do not have a similar experience. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you
