Good place to stop by if you have some time before your flight! Plenty of food and drink options to choose from. Everything is pricey but that's pretty much expected at an airport restaurant. I love how some of their drinks come with souvenir cups it kind of makes it fun. Food was a solid 4/5 but service could be better.

This place is super expensive. entrees are at least 25usd and you have to pay for water. about $7.50 for bottled water. Tap water isnt an option which makes me worried about how clean the salads are. service is prompt and friendly but I wouldn't come here unless you're ready to drop $30+ a person before your flight. fried seafood was good we had coconut shrimp . it came with 8 shrimps and we just ok. breading was light but it wasn't crispy when it came out. Fries were better. We didn't eat the cole slaw. Overall, food was ok. prices were high. lack of tap water makes all uncooked food questionable. I probably won't return

We were in need of food since we were five hours early for our flight. The staff and the food was excellent! Everything came out quickly, and I love the way to call your server, they come running!! Happy Eating!

I wanted to like this-I've had good experiences at other Bubba Gump locations, but this one was rough. We were greeted and taken to a table immediately by the friendly hostess. Not long after, our cheerful server stopped by and asked what we'd like to drink. Everyone was pleasant and treated us well. The food, however, was not as positive. I ordered the accidental fish based on the picture on the menu-it looked delicious. However when I got it, there was a lot of melted butter/liquid on everything. The flavor was horrible. I tried a few bites, but ultimately couldn't eat it and ate my wife's food instead. Luckily the portions were generous, so we could both share her dish. Looking back, I probably should have mentioned something to my server, but I would also expect that he'd notice that I barely ate anything and should have asked if it was ok. I'm not giving up on Bubba, but I'll try a different menu item next time.

Although I've passed Bubba Gump Shrimp Co many times and have always wanted to go, this was my first time. In the Cancún Intl Airport location, it was still very nice with a sizable gift shop which I didn't get to peruse unless I wanted to miss my flight. **Narrator: she did not want to miss her flight.** My meal was just right, with one exception; I needed more! I don't know what the buttery-garlicky -sauce? Gravy? Cream? Nah, not cream- was. I just know I didn't have enough of it. The fish and shrimp were cooked well, not overcooked or rubbery. Other items ordered were the seafood hush puppies that were great, minus the CORN ‍. Drinks were well made, not watered down. Staff was great and sang a rather rowdy birthday song to someone in our party. I'd be down to try another Bubba Gump Shrimp Co in a different location.

For an airport restaurant this Bubba Gump really stacks up. The Cancun airport is nothing if not crowded. Lots of choices to eat and I guess thats why everyone has upped their game. We had some time to kill since our airline was delayed (again) so we decided to try to get a beer and some fish n chips for the long wait. A nice hostess sat us straight away and within a few seconds, a nice server came to ask if we needed any drinks. Yes, and Please! Abeer for me and a blueberry strong lemonade for the mad Russian ( my wife). If you ever need service, simply flip the license plate over to say, "STOP", and the next passerby will assist you. Food came out hot and fresh and was very good. Service was the real star here... With so many people around and every table full, they did their level best to make sure everyone received fast and courteous service.

Always nice stopping here on our flight back to DFW from Cancun. The fried shrimp delicious! Wish they had one of these in the Dallas area...maybe they do.

When we planned a return trip to Cancun, Navíos was at the top of our list!…read more As always, the service was impeccable. Alberto took great care of us. The weather was beautiful, so we were able to sit outdoors. I ordered the coconut shrimp, and it came out in a coconut shell! That meal has lived rent free in my mind ever sense. I tried a bite of my mom's meal and husband's meal, and both were absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were generous.

I'm impressed!!!! Don't miss the experience of dining in Navíos. Everything is sooooo good…read more This Navíos is just a 10-minute walk from Westin Resort... but that 10-minute is worth every steps! The service is superb from receptionist to the waiters. You can tell that the waiters love what they're doing and all help each other. This place is by the lagoon so every table is a picture-taking location. But be careful of the crocodilo... of course, it's by the lagoon. The place itself is clean.. and the lagoon is clear water too. Now the food... it's as simple as, I can dine in this place everyday! It's not that expensive but the presentation, the service and the taste is like a 5-star fine dining restaurant. Even the drinks! I ordered their clam chowder (you can see in the attached video on how they served it), lobster tail wrapped with bacon, my hubby ordered salad (which was also excellent presentation), and steak. Let's not forget the chips that is on the house with 3 different taste buds sauces... tamarind (sweet), avocado (salty) and chipotle (spicy). Love love love! I should say, your visit in Cancun is not complete without visiting this excellent restaurant!

Mayan cuisine! We came here after visiting the ruins in…read moreMexico. This place specializes in Mayan pre-Colombian food, not Mexican food! Big difference! Many of the dishes have strange ingredients that the regular gringo hasn't heard of, which makes this even more exotic! I consider myself a mexican food expert, to some degree, and they're serving dishes that are so inventive, so wild, so fresh, so delicious! The dining area is split between a covered outside area, and seating on the grass overlooking the lagoon. Be careful, there's alligators in there! The service was fantastic- the waiter was patient, spoke English, and made excellent recommendations. I got fish with peppers, octopus ceviche, and some mezcal, followed by a honey and anise Mayan drink. All of which were delicious! My dining companion had a strange pepper with some fish- also nom! Coming here was like a history cuisine lesson, mixed with delicious food, wonderful scenery and a pleasant meal! My favorite part of this place is the artwork when you come in. They've got a Mayan god in a cenote at the doorway that just is amazing!

Wonderful to have a Mayan restaurant in Cancun again since Lana closed…read more Really unique dishes, including vegetarian options and good seafood.

I had mine made in a very slightly spicy sauce. The fish was cooked to perfection, both dishes were mouthwatering good. I choose mixed vegetables which were perfectly grilled and seasoned to be the best I ever had. My wife choose a pasta which she said was prepared perfectly. They started us out with a cup of fish soup broth that was excellent as well. Highly recommend!!!! P.S. service was excellent as well.

The menu was all in Spanish but the manager was nice enough to translate it for us. Some of us order off the menu...the rest shared in their fresh caught fish. They sell the fish by the kg and we were able to decide how we wanted each filet prepared. We decided to get one tempura, one garlic butter (my personal favorite) , one whole fish fried, and one other way which I forget. They even made a soup out of the head and tail left over from the filets. The best part was the price. It was surprisingly affordable. And came out to less than $10 per person even with drinks etc. This place is great when you want something delicious and not touristy. What a great treat.
