5 stars for the carne asasa tacos...very flavorful and seemed like quality meat. Minus 1 star because the single corn tortilla falls apart at least on a takeout order. Double corn tortillas is the way to go, Tulum. read more

Tulum Tacos & Tequila has a fun atmosphere with beautiful décor that really adds to the experience. The drinks were well-made and definitely one of the highlights of our visit. The food was good, but overall I found it to be pretty average and not as memorable as I was expecting. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant had a great vibe, making it a nice place to grab drinks and spend time with friends. I'd come back for the cocktails and ambiance, but I hope to see the food improve on a future visit. read more

Stopped by for Taco Tuesday and it was a great deal, every taco was $5. We ordered six tacos: Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Baja Fish, Tequila Shrimp, and two Birria tacos. All of them were good but my favorite was the Birria! We also started with the Yuca Frita and Coconut Shrimp, both of which were tasty. The waitress was friendly. The ambiance was enjoyable with Latin music playing in the background. Overall, a fun spot for tacos and a good night out. read more

The thing that immediately caught my attention about Talum Taco and Taqulia was how beautiful the restaurant is with its walls and nest-like outdoor seating. Honestly, there are so many other wonderful things to say about Talum Taco, not to mention the outstanding staff and festive vibe. I enjoy every moment of my dining experience. Additionally, the ambiance and staff were fantastic, and the food was a hit. The menu has so many delicious options, and their cocktails are generously poured and packed with flavor. As for my meal, I highly recommend the fried chicken taco. The shrimp taco was a hit as well. Again, I enjoyed my experience immensely and plan to return in the coming weeks. read more

This place has always looked cool and so we figured we would check it out. It is a cool ambiance, with indoor and outdoor dining and a private parking lot. The music is good and lively and the ambiance is fun to go out on a Saturday night on Long Island. They have some beer on tap and my husband liked how they had an ipa option. The margarita selection is also awesome and there were so many I wanted to try. I really enjoyed my spicy watermelon margarita. I also really enjoyed the black bean taco. However, I didn't really enjoy my other tacos I ordered. The sauce was often too much to the point that the taco was soggy which is a big turnoff for me. I also didn't like the carne asada taco when I almost always do because I didn't like the green sauce when I almost always do at other Mexican places. The guacamole also appears to be premade, in that we couldn't order it without tomatoes and we couldn't customize how spicy it was. It wasn't bad tasting though, just tasted like something I'd get at the grocery store. Overall good drinks spot! And a good black bean taco. Would pass on any of the other food I tried there though. read more

Came for the DJ & Vibes. Left not so sober. Tacos were delicious. My favorite was the steak taco. The guacamole and chips were super fresh. And the waiter and my friend got real chummy too read more

I'm not sure why this place has such low rating because I had a really good experience here. The ambiance is super cute. It def give Tulum vibes. They a few good selection of tequila to choose from. The entire staff are friendly. My fav items from the menu were the shrimp taco and the cauliflower taco. After 3 and a half tacos i was full. My bartender Nick made a really good pineapple margarita drink, 10/10, not too strong not too sweet. I recommend and will be back ! read more

This used to be an old Friendly's on Jericho turnpike. Lots of space and a very cool Vibe being changed to a taco spot. The options for tacos are fantastic and drinks are even better. Great for a date night or with a small group. The taco platter is a great deal with 8 tacos. Elote was good but a bit overpriced to have only one corn. Fried yuca is delicious! read more

Went here during Valentine's Day but went during the brunch time. The staff was so sweet and attentive. Everybody was very helpful and kind they were setting up for their Valentine's dinner which included some balloon decorations. There was even an option to purchase a game or something which was a nice Twist on a regular dinner. My husband and I shared a taco platter which had eight different tacos and we tried a whole bunch. I would highly recommend it. My daughter had pancakes that looked absolutely delicious but they had a lemon zest twist. I will be back again maybe for a dinner. read more

Stopped in for dinner, and started with the black cherry margarita and a glass of white sangria, both of which were tasty. The guacamole was delicious and the cucumbers and radishes were a nice touch as well. I had the chicken skillet tacos, and was amazed with the sheer quantity of chicken provided and all of the delicious sides. My dining partner had the birria quesadilla, and found it to be a bit too heavily smoky for her taste - but luckily my chicken tacos had so much come with them she was able to have enough of my dish to satisfy her appetite. All in all, a solid Mexican spot! read more

Been here three or four times in the past two years. I absolutely love the vibe and ambiance here. The indoor and outdoor dining areas are wonderful. The servers are knowledgeable and helpful. The food is amazing except for the weird tasting buffalo cauliflower tacos, but other than that I haven't had an issue. This place is on the pricier side and would be great for date nights and birthdays. Solo lunch works fine too. Sometimes they have events as well. Will definitely be back! Happy eats! read more

Food was pretty good, but music was beyond ear drum splitting. Seriously, does making the music so loud that I can't hear my partner supposed to make it "fun"? Because it makes me never want to return. Sorry, but someone needs to tell them that anyone over 25 doesn't want that kind of volume when just trying to eat some tacos. read more

It's definitely a good spot to hang out for a weekend vibe. The music and decor really set the mood, and it was super busy on Saturday night. Service was decent. For food, we ordered nachos with extra chicken -- the portion was huge! My husband and I were almost full just from that. He got the birria tacos, and I ordered chicken tacos. Mine were okay, didn't like it but he really enjoyed his. He also ordered a couple of drinks that he liked. Overall, the food was okay -- not amazing, but not bad either. The vibe and atmosphere were definitely the highlight. read more

So super cute spot. Decorated for those selfies. Vibes are great music selection was on point there literally something for everyone and it flowed so smooth. Not too loud where you couldn't hear your company but you find yourself randomly dancing to the music. As for the food it was bit lacking from my opinion. I ordered off the lunch menu. I got the crunch wrap and the so graciously made it with chicken for me , but it was totally lacking flavor if it wasn't for the hot sauce and cream verde I asked for it would of been super bland. It did not meet my expectations. The fries it came with were tasty. We got the stuffed churros to share. Not sure what it was filled with it just seemed like a churro without an empty center. It was decent but didn't have any cinnamon and sugar on it. The sauces made it good though. Staff were very nice just my dish was lacking. read more

This was my first time at Tulum and had a wonderful experience there. The food was delicious everything was fresh and full of flavor. We started with drinks Margaritas, Palomas, and Sangrias, all were super tasty and well made. For appetizers, we shared the Kale Caesar salad and guacamole with chips, both of which were excellent. For our main course, we had the surf and turf taco, the fried chicken tacos, and the steak tacos. Each dish was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was fantastic he was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. One of my friends has a gluten allergy, and he took extra care to ensure her meal was completely safe. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and checked in with us regularly throughout the evening. The atmosphere was a vibe and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. Perfect for a date night or a group of friends night out! Def will be returning. read more

Tried this place the other day. I arrived at just the right time. The place did not have that many customers. Maybe 3-4 tables tops. About 15-20mins half the place filled up. Just wanted to grab a drink and a little dinner. Picked up the guac & chips, shrimp ceviche, and a beef quesadilla. Plus 2 $10 margaritas. Guac was ok but I had way better. The server suggested the ceviche and I was sadly disappointed. The quesadilla was ok but nothing worth getting again. I did like the margaritas. Service was fine. My 2nd drink took a while to get to me. The bill on here was surprisingly pretty high for what I got. With tip it came out to $90. Geez yes, not a place I'd visit again read more

Saturday lunch at Tulum Tacos and Tequila was very satisfying. Located right across from Jericho Terrace, you'll find this vibrant Taco spot. We sat down immediately upon arrival and was greeted by our waiter who was very helpful in suggesting their most ordered marg and tacos he likes. He also told us about their special for the day and drinks that weren't listed on the menu. My friend and I went with the guava and passion fruit margaritas and ordered the Taco platter, which comes with 8 tacos of your choice. This was the best bet since the 3 Taco option is only limited to one choice. I tried the birria, smashed meatball, carnitas, and fried chicken tacos. I can't put my finger on which was my favorite, but my least fav was the fried chicken. It could have been more flavorful. Lastly, don't leave without getting dessert. I recommend the churros and twinkie tres leches. So good! read more

Every review in my hometown I have to mention how bad of a local I am lol. It took me way to long to come here! I remember when it was Friendlys we'd come here after dances omg, I'm old. Anyway this place is now absolutely gorgeous and absolutely delicious. I really hope they do well and last a long time. I'd highly recommend going here if in the area or not in the area :) read more

3.5 stars The 8-taco platter price could definitely be lowered. For the size of the two-bite tacos, charging anything over $5 per taco feels like a price gouge. I did appreciate the ability to pick a variety. The birria was a standout, skip the mushroom -- I didn't even finish it, and the bland Baja fish taco The sides were also disappointing. The pickled veggies and rice came in portions that were thimble-sized. considering how inexpensive beans are, a larger side dish for an 8-taco platter isn't too much to ask. The passionfruit margarita was good, the service was attentive and parking was convenient with both a lot and street parking nearby. read more

Based on the reviews I was super excited to try this spot. The decor is very cute and chic, very Tulum, right on point. The bartender and waitress were great. The drinks were flavorful, the food not so much. The guac is probably not homemade since they can't make it to taste. The tacos lacked flavor and were not good at all. We had the flan and it also fell short. read more

Tulum Taco has been on my list for a while and I was finally able to check them out today. The restaurant is beautiful - with touches such as their "follow that dream" sign that can also be found in Tulum, Mexico. We had fried chicken and curly fries for the kids. Fried calamari, spicy tuna tostada (did not love), Baja fish taco, pumpkin marg, espresso martinis made with tequila and pumpkin beer. We enjoyed our food and the service was excellent. read more

Tulum Taco & Tequila - Tacos Near Me - Mineola, New York

First time here and it was a cute little spot. Very trendy, photo op kind of vibe. Great spot for like a brunch/lunch. We started off with the Shrimp Aguachile and your classic guac and chips. I have to say the apps was on point. Just a heads up when you do order the shrimp aguachile it comes with chips! so definitely enough for 3-4 people alone. Everything was fresh and not too heavy. Chips were fresh! and not stale like many places I've tried. As for the main we had to try their Birria Tacos. Instead of giving you the broth they thickened it to almost a saucy dip which isn't such a bad idea. Almost like a thickened consommé which was a plus. Their carne asada tacos had a smoky grilled like taste to it which was good. I would probably say the baja fish was disappointing. The only tacos where the fish had 0 depths of flavor. I was a bit surprise since all their other dishes were so fresh and flavorful. Service was top notch and food was good. It was a bit on the pricey side though for tacos. I wouldn't put this as my goto spot but for groups or business meetings is a good recommendation. read more

This spot definitely has Tulum vibes--beautiful decor, tropical touches, and an atmosphere that feels like a little getaway. Some of the tacos leaned a bit gimmicky, but overall the food was solid and flavorful. It was busy when we went, so service was a little stretched, but the staff handled it well considering the crowd. Worth a visit for the ambiance alone, and a good option if you're in the mood for something fun and flavorful. Saw a bunch of happy hour signs so will come back and check that out too! read more

Where do I begin? Food, really good. Service, exceptional. Ambiance, fitting. We stopped in on our way home after work. Happened to be Tuesday. "Taco Tuesday that is". Insert smiles here. Our server was Lorelei, (hope I'm spelling it correctly). She was pleasant and attentive. We found her to be helpful, as this was our first time here and the menu was packed with many eye catching options. We ordered the Tulum Taco platter, so we could try multiple options. I have to say we enjoyed them all. I think the Birria or the shrimp was the show stopper. In addition to the really good food. I have to acknowledge the manager. You can see why the place runs as efficiently as it does. She provides oversight that ensures the patrons receive the best possible experience. I appreciate people that take leadership/management roles seriously. Kudos to the staff as a whole. Will absolutely return. read more

Loveddddd this restaurant!!! The waiter was really great and his service was impeccable. I enjoyed their birria tacos and their passionfruit margaritas!!!!

I thought the food was very good! However very very expensive! The size of the tacos & portions are way off for the price. $24 for 3 very small tacos. They were very good however. I won't be returning for that reason. The service was okay. We received our food with no utensils, napkins or plates until I had to ask. Food on the table with no sharing plates or utensils for apps. One order of tacos, chips, corn & two drinks was $100. Good food, just pricy read more

As someone said in a prior review; "This place seems like a lot of fun to hang out." It is! This shop is very conveniently located on Jericho Tpke across the street from the Jericho Terrace. Very easy in and out with a nice big parking lot. They have ample seating inside at tables and space by the bar. They also expanded the outdoor seating area and did a major renovation to the Friendly's that once occupied this space. Food was terrific... We started with a nacho appetizer and went straight to a plate of three tacos; fish, beef and meatball. Everything was fresh-tasty and the serving size was ample. Good savory food. Pricing is very fair, they have a happy hour and this is definitely a place that people come just to hang out and laugh. That... is fun to see. There is a lot of electricity in this shop and they have a great friendly team here. I will definitely call this place a new-tendy spot. KUDOs to the team at Tulum Tacos and Tequila read more

*For take-out order* I ordered the fish and shrimp tacos and they were absolutely delicious. Despite what some folks have shared in other reviews, these tacos were a good size and were very tasty. I particularly liked their to go boxes which made it easy to transport and retain the quality of the taco. They do have a pick 8 option which I thought was nice if you wanted options. I would note that these are on the pricier side. I would be interested in eating there in person next time. read more

This place is fun, super loud and definitely a good spot for your girlfriends. It's probably too loud for a first date but definitely a fun spot for a few dates in. The restaurant is trendy yet casual. The hostess is accommodating despite being busy and is mindful of reservations and seating. The food is made well and the presentation is neat and social media friendly. The nachos are a generous portion and layered well so there's hardly a chip without a topping, the kale salad is balanced nicely and it light yet filling. My skinny margarita was fantastic none of that fake sour mix. Our flan was wonderful, rich in caramel flavor, portioned correctly and creamy in texture. It's pricey but I would return. My only criticism here is after the bussed our plates when asked for a container "to go" and some extra dressing the server went back to our collected dishes and took out the remaining dressing and gave us a container instead of getting some from the kitchen. It's pictured below, I'm not sure if was an inconvenience, if there was an up charge I would have gladly paid. It was odd to fish it out of our bussed plates. read more

Great watermelon margaritas The taco fillings were great. I think the corn tortillas are a bit tough and a touch too thick but that's just me. We tried 8 different kinds and the shrimp and Birria were the faves. The Birria sauce was great but again- the tortilla was too much. Wish it was thinner/softer. I'd go back if in the area but there are lots of other great options for tacos on Long Island. read more

Bland tacos, overpriced, poor service. Big fail by the staff after screwing up an order and making 1 person wait forever while the rest ate. Bring out complimentary chips and salsa, something, anything. We will never go back there and would have had much tastier food at Chipotle for half the price. Beautiful restaurant, but service and most importantly the food, leave a lot to be desire. read more

I've had takeout from Tulum before, but sat down here for the first time. It's definitely a cool looking restaurant inside and out. I tried a few tacos and they were all great, but the one that stood out the most was the baja fish taco, it was definitely my favorite. The Taco Tuesday promo that they have is fantastic and a great way to try some tacos you might not usually order. $5 tacos and $5 draft beers. read more

My 1st time here since it was FRIENDLY'S! Decor is beautiful, chairs are absolutely the worst uncomfortable chair I've sat in recently. I had to keep adjusting myself because I felt squished and my tush is not that big. DJ was fun but wouldn't let any songs actually play, kept cutting them off before they even got to the chorus for most songs. Kinda killed the vibe. Our waitress Leslie was nice and most of the staff seemed nice but that's about it. I just had a cocktail before we got there so I wasn't ready to drink but my friends had the white sangria and it tasted like straight up cheap house white wine with a few cut up pieces of apples. Not a true sangria and the taste was a joke. Food is not good. Bland, no flavor in anything we had. Guacamole needs some salt and pepper and a lot less crudités because it basically filled the bowl to make it look like more guac. The tortilla chips to dip were the only tasty thing we had. No lies! We then shared the platter of 8 tacos. We ordered 3 shrimp, 3 Birria and 2 chicken. The Birria was probably the only taco that had SOME flavor, thank god. Everything else, just not good. On top of all of that, the portion to price ratio is so off it's embarrassing. 3 small tacos that are smaller than Taco Bell's tacos are $24. That's insane. And it seems to be a trend here among the other reviews I've read, so whoever the chef is needs to step up their game. Salt and Pepper are your friend. Seasoning is your friend. It's a cute spot but the food needs a makeover. read more

Located in the old Friendly's building. We arrived with a group of about 10 - no reservation and were seated right away. The service was fast and everyone was kind. My group really enjoyed the ambiance which was very tropical. They also have outdoor dining. It was my friend birthday and they came over and sang happy birthday - which was very nice. The food was great - we tried a bit of everything. The portions are also very big - I took most of my meal home. The ceviche was so fresh - as was everything else.
