A Tulum-inspired seafood and taco spot called Café Tulúm is making moves toward Georgetown's Grace Street, according to licensing paperwork that surfaced this week. The filing describes a "Mar & Bar" concept built around tacos, tostadas, oysters and ceviches, with plans for indoor seating plus a small sidewalk streatery.
As reported by PoPville, the liquor-license placard lists a seating capacity of 65 and a total occupancy load of 99, along with a 12-seat streatery. The placard also notes that the licensee is requesting an alcohol carry-out and delivery endorsement.
Old Georgetown Board Signs Off On Streatery
The Old Georgetown Board recommended "no objection" to a permit for Café Tulúm's existing streatery at its March review, while asking that non-compliant elements such as roofs, posts and lights be removed. The board also directed that the decking be painted gray and remain removable. That recommendation appears in the Commission of Fine Arts Georgetown meeting appendix, which lays out conditions for outdoor seating in the historic district.
Space Has Hosted Several Concepts
The storefront at 3210 Grace Street has cycled through several concepts in recent years, from Reverie to High Road Cycling to Grace Street Coffee Roasters, according to ABRA licensing records. The District's license rosters and board orders for the address document frequent activity at the Grace Street location as operators have changed and new permits are sought.
When Will It Open?
No opening date appears on the liquor-license placard. PoPville wrapped its item with a simple "STAY TUNED" and did not list a timeline. For now, permitting notes and the Old Georgetown Board's guidance remain the clearest signals that Café Tulúm is working its way through approvals toward an eventual opening on Grace Street.
