Tulum Tacos & Tequila has just announced — and in quite an artful way — the coming of a second Long Island location.
Tulum, which opened its instantly popular Mineola taco spot in 2022 at 230 Jericho Turnpike, took to Instagram to let fans in on what appeared to be a not-so-well-kept-secret:
Tulum is expanding to Baldwin.
Further details are still forthcoming, according to the post, which you can watch here:
For those without Instagram access, what you’d see above is a Tulum rep, shielding his face before a faux crowd and announcing through a short stack of printed paper he’s holding that “The rumors are true …” (move to next piece of paper) “Tulum Tacos & Tequila is opening in …” (next piece of paper) “Baldwin Spring 2025.”
To the uninitiated, Tulum in Mineola is outfitted in bohemian chic, akin to the Mexican beach town its named after.
Its signature vibe is captured across the restaurant’s boho lanterns, rustic wood, lush greenery, handmade artwork and Mexican tilework. The dining area includes 85 seats and a set of French doors that lead out to a 45-seat patio where guests will dine al fresco during warmer months.
The menu is blanketed with modern Mexican cuisine choices, including a lineup of classic street tacos that ranges from seared tuna and baja fish with shaved cabbage and lemon aioli to vegan and vegetarian-friendly soyrizo and chayote milanese with avocado & lemon crema. Carnivorous options abound, as well, with the likes of Pat LaFrieda’s A5 Wagyu.
The restaurant further offers an array of Tulum-inspired salads, snacks, and crudos, from fluke with Leche de Tigre to Hamachi Aguachile cucumber and jalapeno. There’s also traditional desserts that have a modern spin, such as Twinkie tres leches and spicy chocolate buñuelos.
Paired with the food options is an extensive collection of mezcals, tequilas, and other spirits. Tulum serves up signature margaritas and tequila cocktails, such as a watermelon-citrus Pink Peppercorn Paloma, reflecting the vibrant flavors of the Yucatán.
