CASA TuLuM NYC

"Casa Tulum is a Mexican spot with a space that makes you feel like you’re steps away from sand and ocean. The hanging greenery and nautical touches like white shiplap, portholes, and sconces wouldn’t be out of place on a boat. Appropriately, your primary focus should be the seafood dishes. The aguachile with slivers of octopus and meaty Maine clams is simultaneously acidic and spicy—we love it. Add the governador tacos with perfectly grilled shrimp and steak in flour tortillas. Ending your meal with some piping hot churros filled with pudding-like caramel custard is an absolute must. " - Kenny Yang, Matt Tervooren, Hannah Albertine

"Located in the residential part of the South Street Seaport, Casa Tulum is a Mexican spot with a space that makes you feel like you’re steps away from sand and ocean. You’ll see hanging greenery, blue and white decor, and nautical touches like portholes and sconces that look like they belong on a ship. Although the vibe is casual, the pricing is semi-upscale—crab guacamole is $20, and entrées like pork shoulder, branzino, and chicken hover around $30 and above. Your primary focus should be the seafood dishes and tacos like the aguachile with meaty clams and flawlessly-grilled shrimp and steak wrapped in flour tortillas. " - Kenny Yang

"Casa Tulum is a new Seaport Mexican restaurant from the owner of a decades-old East Harlem restaurant, El Paso." - Emma Orlow
