We're a fun, SoCal-inspired, neighborhood Mexican restaurant located in Santa Monica Canyon, just a few hundred feet from the beach. Co-Owners Josh Loeb and Zoe Nathan both grew up going to this location in its former incarnation as Marix Tex Mex, and long thought of doing their own personal project in this space.

When the opportunity came up, they partnered with award-winning Chef Jeremy Fox (Rustic Canyon, Birdie G's) and they're now fulfilling that dream. Our kitchen is overseen by Executive Chef Brad Long and Jeremy, whose shared love for great ingredients and passion for homestyle cooking is translated into a menu full of rich, bold flavors and imaginative takes on Mexican dishes.

The new nachos with pico and white melted cheese with pickled jalopenos are amazing

Very good, my only comment would be to remove the GF from those dishes that are exposed to cross contamination like the nachos and fries that are fried in the same oil with gluten containing food.

Food is decent quality, but everything about the restaurant is the same as a cheap Mexican restaurant.... Except the price.
Basically four stars for food, subtract one for poor presentation, environment, and feeling vaguely ripped off.

Talulahs is ok. Service is good, drinks are good... It doesn't really wow. It's not the best Mexican and the prices are too high for the food. But it's also a place that probably won't completely disappoint. So, I guess you could say it's solid which probably goes a long way these days.

Great experience. They took great care of our 8 person group. The food, beverages, and service were perfect. We ate outside under the big top. Valet parking.

The Hibiscus margarita was nice and the guacamole. Everything else was thumbs down! It took one whole hour to get my 2 tacos. The carne asada taco tasted like they dipped it in salt! The taco of the day was fried chicken with soggy kale on it. It had a weird taste. How could you go so wrong with tacos? SMH. They ultimately comped a couple of things for us, but that won't make me come back 🙄.

Tallula’s has by the the best vegetarian tacos I have had on the west coast. Totally amazed by the flavour that the ancient corn variety they use to make the tacos!

The food was nice the decor is fantastic and it's a great place to take young children. They have crayons, games and books for the little ones. We will go back and try a few different things next time to check on the food again. Great service and a popular spot for locals. Recommendation: make a reservation.
