This place is a hidden gem, a little hard to get to but quite worth the effort. The food is tremendous & the service is A1. Can't recommend it enough. Give it a try & you won't regret it
My mom & I had a great dinner at Tularosa a couple of weeks ago. The quesabirria tacos are some of the best I've had in the city! The desserts & drinks were also fantastic- good value for the price. Service was fantastic as well. We weren't rushed at all (which is rare nowadays) & we were made to feel really welcome. We'll definitely be back & wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others!
Beau restaurant avec belle ambiance & très bonne nourriture mexicaine. Service courtois. Je parle français & ma copine en espagnol. Nous avons chacun été servi dans nos langues respectives. Belle expérience, je recommande.

So far, I've been there twice but I'll go often for sure. Excellent Mexican cuisine with a good balance between traditional & commercial. My favourite is Tacos Gobernador, exquisite flavour & dish presentation. The staff service is awesome with great attention to detail & client satisfaction. Very recommended!
Just had an amazing meal here! The food was really good,super flavorful, fresh, & cooked perfectly. The service was honestly incredible too. Everyone was so friendly & attentive without being overbearing. I definitely recommend trying their cocktails they're really good. Definitely coming back:)

Vraiment trop bon je recommande fortement cette endroit taco magarita peut aller se coucher la nouvelle place pour un authentique taco c'est chez tularosa
The food is fresh & flavourful, the drinks are dangerously good. There is a fantastic mocktail menu for those who don't drink alcohol. Staff & owners are friendly & hard working. I recommend the guacamole, the carne asada tacos (my 2 year old's favourite), the pastor tacos,the fajitas & enchiladas. Oh, & the quesabirria. Basically everything on the menu is delicious!!

Restaurant Tularosa is an absolute delight.
From the second you step inside, you're greeted with beautiful smiles.
Atmosphere is spot on.
Then the menus are given to you & that's when you simply can't make up your mind...it all looks delicious.
Highly recommend it & will definitely go back again...& again...& again!
What a wonderful spot. We went without a reservation & had to wait a few minutes. We were seated at the bar & had the BEST time. Great conversation with Lori the bartender. We ordered the guacamole (a MUST) that came with fresh hand-cut tortilla chips, carne asada tacos & chicken enchillada. The food was absolutely incredible! Due to a recent TikTok, the restaurant was packed, but well worth the wait. I would recommend making a reservation. We will definitely be going back
