The food is fresh & inspired. Each plate has the perfect amount of food. Cocktails are perfectly balanced & offer a great compliment to every dish. I had the quesabirria tacos which were excellent & my date had the shrimp tacos. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. Ownership was present & attentive. I also enjoyed being in a Mexican restaurant without Mexican music blasting in my ears the entire time. We'll be back!
At Tula Rosa, we went for a bite,
The food & the drinks were just right.
The service was sweet,
So we stayed for repeat,
A second full dinner? Pure delight!

Heard about this restaurant, it had good reviews. We today around 2:00 pm with my son, staff is friendly, food & service is great. My son was full that he brought half of his meal back home.
I will definitely go back there again. They also have a nice alcoholic & non alcoholic selection.
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
It was just OK, We were not served our meals at the same time. I got my meal first, & then we got the appetizer & only when I was almost done. Did my husband get his main meal… Just a little strange, The waitress was very nice, & although I am perfectly bilingual she did not speak a lick of English, & since the meals are all named in Mexican, we had trouble understanding what everything was but all in all it was just OK, Will we return? No …. Lunch cost of the two of us 71,50 including tax & tip, which I find very pricey for lunch
First time trying this spot & it did not disappoint having spent a lot of time in Mexico we were pleasantly Surprised on how authentic with a twist the food was solid food & we will definitely be back to try all items . My only small critique is they are still trying to figure out service & communication internal which cause a few delays but nothing to stop us from going back a real gem in LaSalle
