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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

3.5/5 stars. Plenty of parking sharing with the motel next door. They didn't have air conditioning so it was slightly warm inside. It was pretty quiet inside on a weekday for dinner but cute decor overall. They bring over complimentary chips and salsa. We ordered the Birria and the chicken mole. Overall flavors are ok and portions are good for the price. It was one hard working waiter helping all.

Scotty took what was already a great date night and made it truly memorable. Not only was he the best server we've had since we started dining at Puesto, but I'd go so far as to say he was one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Scotty had a calm, understated demeanor that was part of his charm. He was genuine, attentive, extraordinarily kind, and somehow managed to keep my Diet Coke with lime full the entire evening. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and was always there at just the right moment. Best of all, he laughed at my dad jokes. While the food was outstanding, Scotty made the experience even better. His service elevated an already great meal into an exceptional evening. We will absolutely be requesting Scotty's section every time we visit Puesto Anaheim.

My mom had tried their food through her work before and had been raving about it, so she was really excited to finally bring my dad and me. Before heading over, I called to ask if they were busy since my mom had to work later that day. I was told there wasn't and that tables were available, so we decided to stop by. None of us had actually been to the restaurant before, so we weren't familiar with how their dine in process worked. We originally planned to take our food to go, but while I was still at the register finishing our order, we changed our minds. The restaurant was very clean and had a nice ambiance, so we decided we wanted to stay and enjoy our meal there. I immediately let the employee at the register know and she told me that was completely fine, to take a seat and that they would bring our food and check to us. When I walked over to the table, another staff member was already speaking with my mom about us sitting there. We explained that this was our first time and that the employee at the register had just told us to take a seat. She explained that dine in customers are supposed to wait outside to be seated, but the way she spoke to my mom and me was unnecessarily rude. There was an uncomfortable back and forth while we tried to explain that we genuinely didn't know the process and were simply following what we had just been told. She eventually rolled her eyes and walked away. About 10 minutes later, another staff member brought out my mom's food along with chips and salsa, which we hadn't received while we were waiting. We expressed our frustration with the overall communication and service and she apologized, which we appreciated. She also explained the dine in process again and we completely understood. We would have had no problem following it from the beginning had we known. What made it even more frustrating was that while we were eating, we watched other customers walk in and immediately be greeted and given directions about where to sit. That was literally all we needed when we first walked in, especially as first time customers. The restaurant itself was very clean and my mom really enjoyed her food. Unfortunately, I couldn't really enjoy mine after how uncomfortable the experience had already made us feel. My mom had been so excited to bring us here, which made it even more disappointing. The issue wasn't their dine in process, it was the way the situation was handled. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.

Came in for a little date night on a Saturday evening. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating, always quick to refill drinks or clear empty plates.

We also had to try the Chori-brussels which are flash fried Brussels sprouts with chorizo, balsamic reduction, and Oaxacan cheese. For drinks we got a Santo Dia, a whiskey based cocktail with watermelon, lime, and fizz served over ice. We also ordered the Spicy margarita which had watermelon habanero, lime, and hibiscus flavors. They were both delicious and refreshing, the spicy marg had a good kick to it. For dinner we got a caesar salad, the ribeye plate, and the Urbana burger. We both loved the dressing on the caesar, it's made in house and it shows. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a delicious herb butter on top, a really good steak sauce on the side, and thick cut fries. The ribeye wasn't the highest quality but it tasted good, the fries were perfect. My fiancé got the burger which had chorizo, melted queso Oaxaca, and an egg on top. Not gonna lie it was absolutely delish! I want to come back just for the burger. All in all we had a great time and I would definitely come back for some other menu items, especially to try more of their margs and specialty cocktails. Thanks Urbana!
