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.

Margarita and michelada
Kazandra B.

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!

We went for brunch on Sunday with a party of 15, and I want to give a special thank you to Maricruz…read morefor her wonderful service! She was very welcoming, attentive, and made sure our drinks were good and came out on time. Thank you, Maricruz, for making us feel welcomed! Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. The food took quite a while to come out, and when it finally arrived, it wasn't good. The biggest disappointment, however, was the DJ. He was very rude to my friend, and the music wasn't creating the fun atmosphere we were hoping for. We even requested a Jenni Rivera song, and he gave us a strange look that made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Honestly, his attitude left us feeling disrespected, and the way we were treated made us question whether there was a racial component to his behavior. It's unfortunate because we came to enjoy our Sunday brunch, celebrate, and have a good time together. Maricruz did an excellent job, and we truly appreciate her hospitality, but the food and the DJ's attitude took away from what should have been an enjoyable experience. Thank you again, Maricruz, for your great service and warm welcome. You were the highlight of our visit!

We were drawn in by the liveliness of the restaurant; they had Mexican music playing, people dancing, enthusiastic servers and hostesses ,and an inviting tone to the whole place. We were warmly greeted by Valerie who sat us outside so our kids could run around in the surrounding area right outside the restaurant (very convenient for restless kiddos to be able to play a bit). Our waiter promptly came and got us our drinks and food order and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered chicken fajitas, the carne asada plate, and a house margarita that were all spot on. The chips and salsa to begin with were salty, perfectly fried, and crispy. The salsas were very good but definitely had a bite, so watch out! The fajitas were sizzling and spectacular; the portion was huge and the spices and flavors were perfect. The carne asada plate was another giant thing of beauty. All four of us had very happy and full stomachs. Along with the great food and ambiance, the service and friendliness of everyone at Casa De Pancho stood out tremendously. Hugo came to our table and was wonderful with our children; he was so attentive and made us and our kids feel seen and special. We left feeling full but ready to go back soon. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

Calaca Mamas Cantina: Oh, what can we say? First, we would like to really thank Disney vlogger Dave…read moreErikson (Fresh Baked) for his recommendation of Calaca Mamas during one of his episodes. Anyway, we spent 6 days during Labor Day week 2026, doing Disneyland and other LA attractions. On our first night in from Oklahoma, we decided to give Calaca Mamas a try. Boy! Were we ever glad we did! Immediately loved the ambiance and fun vibe. We were met at our table by JAMES who from the start made us feel like old friends and catered professionally and enthusiastically in accommodating our dining needs. Now, what to eat? The menu was quite extensive, and we wanted to try many things from the descriptions. Since it was our first time, we went with some pretty basic choices. We picked the "Three Tacos" and the "Quesadilla". For drinks the "Spice Up My Life" margarita, and the "Calaca Mamas Whisky-My-Rita". OMG! Everything was amazing! We're used to Tex-Mex in Oklahoma, but this authentic Mexican fare was life changing. We first tried without toppings or sauces to test each meal. The dishes were so flavorful, and our taste buds were just loving it. Well, needless to say, we had just found our favorite Mexican Restaurant. Nothing else ever compared. You must go. We enjoyed Calaca Mamas Cantina so much that we went 3 times during our stay. They are conveniently located across from the Disneyland main entrance on Harbor Boulevard, which made it an easy choice when exiting the park. We tried other fantastic dishes and other drinks. For the beer drinkers, we highly recommend the house "Calaca Mamas Mexican Lager" on draft. Superb! We also kept seeing these table-top Churro wagons adorned with a sparkler coming to other tables, and we just had to try them. All we can say is, that they were the best. Yes, the best! Sorry Disney, your churros don't compare at all, not even Disney Worlds "Nomad Lounge" that up until this time were our favorites. We would also like to thank our other wonderful servers ISAAC and ANGEL who extended the same friendly professional care. Oh, and JAMES, please thank BRANDY again for Pixie Dusting us at the S&S. YUM! Well, we obviously can visit regularly, so Calaca Mamas, you are going to have to come to Broken Arrow, OK, or at least to Tulsa, OK which we are a suburb of. Can't wait to visit again! Thanks, Calaca Mamas! Our very best always, Dave & Nanci

We also decided to be fatties with dessert... the flan was amazing. The chocolate sorpresa was so ridiculously good.
