    Beef tacos
    Thembi S.

    Unfortunately, I was only able to eat at Blue Agave once during my stay at Paradisus, but it was a great visit! I'm sad I was unable to figure out the schedule so I could go again! While there I ordered 2 beef tacos and a mimosa. The tacos came out with chips and guacamole. The guacamole was just ok, but the chips were really good, and the tacos were FANTASTIC! They came with a green sauce I wanted to pour on everything! Had I known I wouldn't return, I'd have ordered way more tacos!

    Family style- quesadillas, tacos, chips guacamole & salaa

    Came here for lunch and dinner during our stay, it was a very nice go-to restaurant that had availability for seating majority of the time without a wait. The tacos were nice bite sizes so you can try all of them. My favorite was the shrimp soup- MUST GEt if you love seafood!! And the quesadillas were made to perfection- I liked the plabano with corn the most. A lot of my friends liked the beef tongue too that comes in a taco form. We got family style too so we were able to try a bunch of stuff. Add the appetizer salsa and guacamole in your taco to make it more tasty!

    Our group of 7 wanted to go downtown Isla Mujeres and downtown Cancun with a mission - to find authentic street tacos that we crave so much out in California. We never expected Blue Agave to beat out the majority of tacos we tried in the streets! The meat was high quality, perfectly spiced. Guacamole was fresh. Quesadillas.. Omg! Several people said it was the best they'd ever had. Slight crunch on the outside, generous melted cheese with tender chicken, pork, or beef inside. Don't forget to order an Ojo Rojo - kind of like a bloody mary but made with beer, and not super salty like bloody Mary's in the US. It's very refreshing. Service waS friendly and attentive, albeit a little slower. However, a lot of all inclusive restaurants and buffets are the same and this was faster than the others. Huge bonus that most restaurants are closed for lunch except this and the main buffet. We had no problem eating here daily! No one got sick of it. And I'm not even a huge fan of mexican food. Or maybe I always was. Just not a fan of crappy mexican food If you stay at paradisus, this place is a MUST. No reservations needed and resort casual attire is fine.

    Decent tacos inside the Paradisus Cancun we enjoyed ,service was great very attentive we visit 2 times during our stay

    Very salty shrimp soup with a lot of shell tails
    Dan R.

    A very nice, casual place with attentive service and very good food. We chose Blue Agave for our first dinner in Cancun, because our concierge said we didn't need reservations and he was right. It wasn't too crowded at all at 7 PM on a Saturday. Complimentary chips came out fast with small bowlls of salsa, guacamole, and a spicy smoky sauce. We ordered two taco plates (around 30 pesos or $2 each), a quesadilla plate (even cheaper( and 2 bowls of shrimp soup (about 75 pesos or around 10 bucks. The tacos were small and served on round corn tortillas -very reminiscent of what we get at Bartaco in Connecticut. The flavors were terrific- a great combination of warm tortillas, meats, veggies and spices. The shrimp soup was not memorable, it was salty and had a pretty high concentration of shells in it. Bottome line? Good food, OK service, rock bottom prices. A-OK in my book

    Chorizo and chicken tacos

    The service was great tacos delicious I could eat 30 of them the the spicy dip they had for chips was amazing

    Mixed meat taco and chicken stew quesadilla
    Tina F.

    Oh we ordered just about everything on the menu. Hubby loved the lengua and I enjoyed just about everything else on the menu. All their food is fresh and it's all taco style so that's how we tried everything. This place had a mariachi band that went table to table! This is how you eat in Cancun

    They have the best ap pastor and carnitas tacos! Guacamole and salsa was amazing as well! This is my favorite restaurant in paradisus

    There are a lot of things I want people to stop doing on yelp, but more than anything else, I want…read morepeople to stop lying about these international restaurants just because they, like I, got duped by TikTok videos. I saw so many videos and read so much hype about this place. I was excited to try it. I was just as disappointed when I threw out my burrito after a couple of bites. The food here is not good. It is so basic. I ordered chili cheese fries, and a burrito. For the burrito, you have to complete a form for your customizations, which I thought was going to be efficient. Unfortunately, despite my burrito, having everything in it that it was supposed to, I was overwhelmed by the massive amount of onions. Additionally, I was underwhelmed by the amount of shrimp inside my burrito. There weren't many at all and the entire burrito literally tasted like nothing. I ordered the shrimp and mahi. There was absolutely nothing remarkable about it. For a second, I almost wondered if I had Covid because the flavor was so lacking.But after speaking to friends of mine who also visited, I realized that I wasn't the only one. In total, I spent about US$32 on an order of chili cheese fries, a jerk, chicken, quesadilla, and a burrito. Fries: so bland. I wanted to throw them out, but I saved them and took them back to my hotel and added salt. It helped a bit, but these were overwhelmingly underseasoned and lacking flavor. The portion, however, was huge. Two out of five. Burrito: more mahi-mahi than shrimp, and neither protein was flavorful. The entire burrito was very bland and was full of more onions than I would ever care to eat. The burrito wasn't OK size, but it did not taste good. Two out of five. Jerk, chicken quesadilla: basic. Not super flavorful. And the chicken did not taste like jerk chicken at all. It didn't even have jerk flavor. Didn't even taste like they rolled the chicken in a little bit of jerk before cooking it. Three out of five. The staff noticed that I did not eat much of my food and asked if I didn't like it. I informed them that I did not like it and that I didn't think it had enough flavor. They did not care. I didn't fully expect them to because I know customer service is very different in Mexico, but I expected more. She even asked if the burrito was too spicy, which was hilarious because there was nothing spicy or even flavorful about it. This is very much a hole in the wall, kind of spot that has been blown up on social media. Very casual vibes, and there appears to be a small roof area where you can overlook the street. I would not return here. I also would not recommend it. Another example of influencers likely getting free food in exchange for review reviews. However, they do have a sign up that says you can get a free shot if you leave a review.

Unfortunately, the experience went downhill quickly. The service was flashy but slow, and we followed the waiter's recommendations for both an appetizer and our entrees. He told my girlfriend her entrée didn't come with a side, so we ordered one. After several cocktails, her entrée arrived--but mine never did. I sat there watching her eat while I waited. When I asked the waiter where my meal was, he simply said, "it is not working." I then asked a manager for help, but he disappeared and never returned. The bill came with no apology, no explanation, no discount, and nothing complimentary. It was an awkward and uncomfortable way to end what was supposed to be a special evening. Mistakes happen, but what really bothered me was that there was no effort to acknowledge the problem or make it right. I do not recommend. Llevé a mi novia aquí para una cena elegante en nuestra última noche en Cancún. El ambiente era agradable y el lugar se siente bastante exclusivo. Sin embargo, la experiencia se arruinó rápidamente. El servicio fue llamativo, pero lento, y seguimos las recomendaciones del mesero tanto para el aperitivo como para los platos fuertes. Además, le dijo a mi novia que su platillo no venía con guarnición, así que pedimos una aparte. Después de varios cócteles, llegó el plato fuerte de ella, pero el mío nunca llegó. Me quedé sentado viéndola comer mientras yo esperaba. Cuando le pregunté al mesero dónde estaba mi comida, solo respondió: "no está funcionando". Luego pedí ayuda a un gerente, pero desapareció y nunca regresó. Finalmente llegó la cuenta sin disculpas, sin explicación, sin descuento y sin ningún detalle de cortesía. Fue una forma muy incómoda y desagradable de terminar lo que se suponía que sería una noche especial. Entiendo que los errores pasan, pero lo peor fue que no hicieron ningún esfuerzo por reconocer el problema ni solucionarlo. No lo recomiendo.

In the past this place has always been a staple for us, but each year we go we like it a little less. This year majority of the group was disappointed in the entire experience from the service to the food. To start, the service was lacking compared to what we get at other local restaurants nearby. Our servers did not frequently come back to ask if we needed anything and we were constantly having to ask to get our waters refilled. The drinks are good, but nothing we can't get elsewhere. Half of our group enjoyed (but not loved) their food and half did not enjoy. My SO and I split the al pastor meal. In the past we have loved this, but this time it felt like they rushed to make it and the flavors we remembered just weren't there. It was still good, but I think it could have been better. I do love the churro cart here, but you can get good churros several other places. Overall, this place has gone downhill in our opinion, and for the price it isn't worth it when there so many better options close by. I'm sure we will be back, but I think we might skip a year stopping here.
