Like so many newer bistro type restaurants El Tule hides in something of a dark shack of a building along a less frequented street. The décor hints at something you’d find in a local South American dive including the somewhat garish religious figures. In good weather, there are a series of outdoor tables and chairs in the Walmart style. Such... More

Made reservations for 2 shortly after their re-opening. Arrive 1/2 hour early and were told to come back when it was our reservation time. There was an open table but it was for 4 so we assumed someone had reserved the table. No problem. We walked around and came back 25 minutes later. The same table was still open but... More

Home made everything! Chorizo hard shell tacos are amazing. The shells are what make the dish, so fresh and delicious! Friendly service and nice and quiet outdoor dining with lights at night.

My husband and i visited El Tule Mexican and Peruvian Restaurant last week for a last minute Friday night dinner. Although they were very busy, the hostess that took my name over the phone was very professional and pleasant AND they were able to squeeze us in for a 7pm reservation. In addition to the staff being so nice, the... More

El Tule was recommended by a reliable friend: the recommendation did not disappoint. The service and freindliness of the staff was fantastic. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We felt like we were on vacation in another country. We dined outdoors in the sunshine. It is BYOB so we stopped at Walker's wine and spirits and bought... More

Have now eaten here twice, and will become regulars. There is nothing not to like. The Ceviches, which are the house specialties, are amazing - Try the combination. The Peruvian dishes (only available Wednesday and Friday) are unusual ( not many Peruvian restaurants) and really delicious. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere simple, but charming - and the... More

We only ate off of the Peruvian menu and it was great. The ceviche is a must. We had the sampler and all three were among the best ceviche that we have had. The quinoa salad appetizer was delicious and the Peruvian surf and turf was very good. I would heartily recommend this restaurant.

We went in here on Saturdy evening without a reservation and were seated immediately. I had the Carpulcra and liked the stew. The rice was a bit al dente. My daughter wasn't that hungry and ordered the Palta a la Reina. She liked it. Husband had the cau cau de marisco. He thought it was ok. He liked our daughter's... More
