We’ve made a long drive to dine at Tulum on many occasions over the last year or so. The food is innovative, the atmosphere fun, a real hidden gem.
Among us, we’ve tried a majority of items on the menu. But the standout was an unusual offering, mushroom enchiladas. Absolutely divine, a vegetarian offering that easily competed with all the carnivore options available. They were my first choice the last two times we had been to the restaurant.
Because of that, I selected Tulum as the location for a small group last night, one of the group I know to be a vegetarian. I was excited to bring her to a restaurant where I knew she would be able to make a selection that wasn’t an “also ran“ with the rest of the items on the menu. You can imagine my disappointment when I opened the menu to see that they were no longer offered.
I asked my server about it, and he stated that “corporate came in and decided to remove some of the items that weren’t selling”. He said they could still do a vegetarian dish, for instance, they could “take the shrimp relleno and just remove the shrimp and substitute some vegetables”. Yawn.
I understand that in a restaurant like Tulum, a vegetarian dish is not likely to compete in numbers with all of the other items on the list. However, I cannot imagine that there would be a large overhead in having that one item available, regardless of how few plates are ordered every night.
I’ll probably go back, but the trip will be a little less special for me than it has been in the past.

It was our first time and everything was absolutely amazing! Every dish was picture perfect full of flavor, not a single item was bad. David was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and his suggestions were perfect as we loved each item! The only critique I have is that it seemed a few tables were wonky and needed napkins placed under the legs (we requested one which already had one and a table near us also requested one). Highly recommend, we will be back as there are several items that look like they are worth trying!
What a beautiful restaurant! The food was delicious. We started off with Beef Short Ribs Tostaditas, which were so good. For main course we had Cochinita Pibil Tacos and The Grilled Fish. Both were scrumptious! We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.
Incredible!!! Loved this place great service and management. I recommend this to everyone around the Dallas area. Food was amazing the taste was perfect on all courses. Incredible drink menu not too pricey just right. I definitely will be coming back and ask for Toni she was amazing with our experience here at Tulum.
Made dinner reservations for Friday night and we had a great time! Great vibes, delicious food/drinks, and great service. Would recommend! Parking - we drove and parked in the Highland Park parking lot, pretty easy but it was almost a full parking lot.
Pork belly and tuna tower were delicious, elegant ambiance, and a warming staff. Hector was our server and he ensured that my mom had a wonderful B’day dinner; she was celebrating her 65th so we had to choose a proper restaurant. Hostesses Toni and Delilah were welcoming and attentive. Definitely coming back. To the owner and management: please keep the staff happy because they definitely keep the clients happy.
Came here for a dinner with a friend and it’s a nice spot with amazing aesthetics. Parking can be tricky as there are other businesses there but I was able to find a spot. The customer service was consistent throughout the evening. My guest and I were seated in their lounge area and again it was nicely decorated!
I ordered guacamole (avocado ixchel) and it’s definitely not your typical dish you would get a regular Mexican restaurant so be mindful of that if you order it. I also ordered chips and salsa (sikil pak) as it is not included with the meal. The chips were freshly made and salsa tasty.
For my meal, I ordered the grilled pork chop (yucatán pork “poc chuc”) and it was ok. The pork was a tad bit dry but adding the salsa for dipping made up for it. One thing I did enjoy were the black beans and coconut rice! For drinks, I ordered the Flower in the Desert and Wanna Be Tulum. Both were delicious and nicely mixed.
Overall, I had a good experience here and would good back to try out their happy hour

First time at this restaurant on new year eve and we were a bit disappointed. First impression was that the furniture was very worn out, for the class of the restaurant and the premium price you pay for the food I had high expectations. The food was just ok nothing wow had to wait long for it to be done. Our friends were complaining about salty expensive stake. 20% tip was automatically added to our each bill off 4 .Was a disappointed experience. . We tried but never again.
