Casa Tulum has been a favorite hidden gem for my best friend and me for years, and today’s visit sealed it. Maricela was incredible — warm, attentive, and full of great energy. The chicken tinga sopes are a must, and the coconut mojito never disappoints. Casa Tulum will always be in my top 5 happy hour spots.
From the moment you walk in here you can tell you're somewhere special. Once you're here your family, and then when you're here you know that you're in a different place. You left Chicago and you are now somewhere in the South Peninsula of Mexico somewhere by yucatan. The food was so amazing it's so the meat was so delicious it was so soft and the seasoning was on point. I would recommend this if you're going for a birthday or if you just want to go and take your husband or wife I would say do it. The hospitality is second to none. Gracias Ariel por la atención
Cute dinner vibe for the girls! I ordered the quesobirria (make sure you specify that) & it was soooo delicious! Honestly exceeded my expectations tbh. Burria is always a hit or miss so I was happy about that. My drinks were STRONG. The first drink (🍓 marg) lifted me up baby, but the second one (mojito) seemed to take the drunk-ness down some notches, that was a little weird lol but still tasted great. The atmosphere is very calm/chill & I loved the music selection they played! Definitely recommend getting spothero even though they offer some free street parking on site. Churros were very hard so I was disappointed at that but still pretty good overall!
The ambiance instantly transports you to Tulum. Relaxing, tropical, and full of good vibes. I started with the chicken and shrimp & cheese empanadas, and they were absolutely delicious. The shrimp and cheese empanada paired perfectly with the Chipotle sauce on the side. For drinks, I ordered the Rosa Pastel, which was refreshing and flavorful without being too strong. The coconut cocktail, on the other hand, was a standout. It was rich and creamy, served in a real iced coconut shell with coconut shavings on top. It tasted like a luxurious piña colada, and the tequila sneaks up on you in the best way. For my main course, I tried the Tulum Special, which included large, juicy shrimp, tender marinated steak, flavorful chicken, and sautéed onions with red and green peppers. It came with rice, cheese sauce, and warm tortillas on the side. I made a couple of tacos, and it was incredibly satisfying. The portion was generous. Its definitely a dish you can share or enjoy with leftovers.
The food was pretty good overall, really enjoyed the diabla, fajitas, ceviche, steak, and red snapper. Flavors were on point, though the snapper could’ve been scaled better since I found quite a few scales. Prices are very reasonable and the drinks were solid for a neighborhood spot. Service, on the other hand, needs some work. We had to repeat ourselves, a few things were forgotten (even water), and there was confusion around a food allergy, after the dish was already served, we were told it could’ve been cross-contaminated, which isn’t reassuring. We ended up re-ordering and waiting for a really long time for something else. Our first visit had smoother service, so hopefully consistency improves. Overall, Casa Tulum has flavorful food and fair prices, and with more attention to detail and stronger service, it could easily become a local favorite.
