Amazing Restaurant. Decently busy but not too crowded. Service was immediate and attentive! The restaurant was clean and well run. The food was amazing and filling. Its not incredibly cheap but it’s worth the price. Will definitely return! Get the empanadas, they’re fantastic.

Amazing flavor and service. We will be back! Only thing to change would be that it was evening and they left the florescent lights on over head rather than turning on the softer pendant lights for more atmosphere. Otherwise everything was delicious!!

The prices are a bit high but the food is incredibly tasty. I shared the stewed chicken with a friend and it was sooo moist with beans, rice, and a bit of salad. The honey on the plantains wasn’t to my tasted, but the plantains themselves were amazing!

My friends and I stopped here to try it out! They are vegetarian and I’m not. There was a really nice selection for anyone! The lady working was super friendly and eager to explain anything needed.

I have been here three times already and I’m just looking for opportunities to bring others to try the incredible food that Gloria serves here! Be sure to try some appetizers. I love the causa, maduros con queso, y papas a la huancaina. Every dish anyone in my part had tried had been excellent and the presentation is lovely as well!

We stumbled upon Tullpa Restaurant on Merle Hay Road today and wow! What a find! Maira, our waitress, was friendly and helpful in describing the dishes. Recommended a sampler plate and I’m happy we ordered it. So delicious and the flavors were incredible. We will definitely be going back to try some of the other dishes. Highly recommend!

We tried Tullpa for the first time last night and were so impressed! My maracuya margarita was so tasty, and the service was prompt and friendly. We loved the toasted corn (and sauces) the waitress first brought out. The Ceviche Tradiconal was so unique with the corn and glazed sweet potato. Perfect flavors. We also enjoyed the fried sweet plantains with cheese. We paired the arroz con leche and mazamora morada desserts on the same plate and loved the combination.Can’t wait to go back.

I went to Tullpa for the first time with friends. We ordered enough to try a little bit of everything. It was all delicious. Ceviche is so fresh. I’ll definitely be back soon.
