Casa Tulum

Get your Casa Tulum experience before everyone else finds out. There’s no keeping this a best-kept secret—not with its simmering green pozole that can cure any ailment, nor its cochinita pibil, which hits all the right spots. The mole enchiladas may be the best in Northern California; those who crave a taste of Mexico City and East LA will not be disappointed.

I met my friends (including their small 4 legged fur baby) for dinner here last Friday and we dined outside in the festive courtyard. Instantly the weight of the work week was lessened by the owner's warm and friendly hospitality. As we sat and listened to jazz musician Ralph soothe us with his saxophone, we sipped on watermelon/cucumber agua fresca and enjoyed the ceviche (Acapulco style) and tortillas. I ordered empanadas which came in a set of 3 so I chose 2 shrimp and 1 potato. Incredibly delicious! Also at our table we ordered cochinitas, pupusas, steak, and a tropical Caesar salad. Martha, the owner, took time to figure out a tasty vegan option for my friend's daughter. With 19 years of catering, they truly are culinary artists! Their restaurant (inside or courtyard) is also available for private parties and they continue to do catering. Definitely a great place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends and family. Plenty of street parking.

Really enjoyed our experience from start to finish here. Chef Arturo came out to the back patio to tell us about his specials for lunch, and we decided to try both. Super authentic, fresh, and incredibly flavorful! Great back patio. This is a restaurant that will be a hot spot when word spreads, so get in here soon. ALSO, chef Arturo told us that he gets a fresh shipment of Red Snapper every Friday to make his famous whole fried fish. Don't sleep on this, it is easily the best in town.

Have been here twice now and love the amount of flavor and depth that is always in every dish. The Huevos Motulenos now add chorizo to the dish for extra flavor. My husband had the chilaquiles which he said were excellent. This along with the fresh Sandia Agua Fresca and Latin music make for a fun Sunday Brunch.
