CASA TuLuM is bringing a taste of the Mexican coast to the Seaport in a space designed to feel like a luxurious Tulum beach house. Chef/Partner Rodrigo Abrajan is offering seafood dishes from across Mexico along with authentic specialties from Tulum and the Yucatan Peninsula.

Chef Rodrigo is known for his El Paso Taqueria restaurants in Harlem, the first of which opened in 1993 as a taco cart on the corner of Third Avenue and East 104th Street, eventually growing to three sit-down locations.
