This was our second trip to Playa and we had to make a stop at this restaurant. My husband is emphatic that they have the best fajitas in the world! The service is great and fast. I had the guacamole and chips and my mom had the beef nachos. All were out of this world good. We love this place... More

The food was good - although the chicken quesadillas had mushrooms in them, which was not listed on the menu, and I have an intolerance. Should be listed. The service was decent, although the restaurant was mostly empty when I went. The prices were a little high, compared to various other restaurants in the vicinity with similar food. I wouldn't...

I was at Los Tulipanes in December and enjoyed the experience for the most part. However, when returning in February 2012, it was a whole different story. The service was terrible. Our waiter seemed in a terrible mood, no smiling or attempts to interact whatsoever. He had a sour facial expression the entire evening, and any request we made seemed... More

On the whole, Los Tulipanes was a very good experience. I ordered the shrimp to taste and it was excellent, and my date ordered the steak (which was also excellent). We were both thrilled with the food, and fine with paying the enormous bill (over $100US) because we felt the food was worth it. Los Tulipanes has a great location... More

As usual, we checked the menu and chose a seat on the street. We were promised a free Margarita for choosing to dine with them, but that never appeared. Either they scheduled to few servers for the number of customers or our server was doing too much of the food prep in the kitchen. It was about 5 to 7... More

We enjoyed this place. The service was wonderful and so was the atmosphere, my husband had New York strip and I had ravioli and it was delicious. It is a bit pricey, but very good.

We searched for a place to enjoy molcajetes like the ones we had in downtown San Jose Los Cabos last October and thought we had found it with Los Tulipanes, but alas, it was not to be. While the meat was very good, the dish as not served sizzling hot and the cheese and other ingredients were not mixed. Perhaps... More

Thank you for your comment. It is possible that the “molcajetes” are prepared differently in other cities. We regret that you did not enjoy our preparation but hopefully you will come back and try some of our other dishes. Kind regards More

Enjoyed the very light and flaky spring roll appetizers, arachera was really good, one guest had surf and turf which was just OK. One guestbhad pasta,a bad choice, it was dreadful. Pretty poor wine selection for such a nice reastaurant.
