Tulum Seafood

I remember seeing this spot everyday when I was going to Mira Mesa High School which is on the other side of the fence.

In those days there was a Picnic N Chicken here.  I miss the delicious fried chicken.

Now it’s Tlum Seafood which is clean and shiny.

Tried a carne asada and shrimp taco.  Corn tortilla had a mild flavor and was unobtrusive.  Shrimp had a mild shrimp flavor.  Carne asada had a bold flavor which I loved.  Beef was tender and almost juicy.  Excellent protein to tortilla ratio.

Also tried a birrea taco.  Beef was tender and full of juices.  Flavor was very good.  Excellent beef to tortilla ratio.

2nd visit I ordered a whole fried red snapper.

Skin was crispy and the red snapper was fresh and tender.  Seasoning tasted salt based.  Flavor was pretty good.  I’m not a big whole fried fish fan.  My favorite red snapper preparation is filets deep fried with southern style batter.

Rice was moist and I liked the light flavor.

Flour tortilla was soft and had a nice fresh flavor.

Talum Seafood is a solid spot for tacos and seafood.  Service was efficient.  The 2 tacos were a big lunch.  A bit pricey as it was almost $20 for 2 tacos.  For birrea tacos my fav spot is Mike’s Red Tacos as I like their tortillas better and prefer the flavor of their birrea.  I’d return for a carne asado taco though.
