Taking tacos and tequila to the next level an upscale Mexican steakhouse hits the Long Beach boardwalk

The Long Beach boardwalk has been graced with a fresh culinary face with the recent debut of Hacienda Tulum, a new upscale Mexican steakhouse, is the latest concept from longtime friends and hospitality partners Nicolas Geeraerts and Tommy Mitsios. This comes on the heels of their two successful taco establishments, Tulum Tacos & Tequila, a Long Island restaurant brand founded in 2022. The pair aspired to take their “tacos and tequila” to the next level, envisioning an elevated dining experience that focuses on fresh, locally sourced seasonal ingredients, modern Mexican cuisine, superior steaks, and a refined mezcal- and tequila-based cocktail menu — all honoring the rich flavors of the Yucatán with a distinct urban approach. “Most people think of tacos and margaritas only in the summer months, and we were looking for more of a year-round concept,” said Geeraerts.
