Shrimp Tacos
Jazmine M.

DO NOT EAT HERE !!! Let me start by saying the reviews here must be fake nobody was enjoying their food INCLUDING ME . I ordered fish tacos they were disgusting worst I've ever had in fact , the guacamole I could throw up the drinks are watered down and Louis had the nerve to charge me full price for my tacos and guacamole after I returned it with the plate FULL . Smh do not waste your time and take a look at the kitchen oh boy don't get me starters with the bathroom this place should be put out of business ! Bad customer service ! Just a horrible experience in general .

HUGE cocktails that we drank. Highly recommend the hurricane and the Long Island.
Rachel B.

The best drinks we had in Mexico! This little gem off the main drag is worth the extra two blocks of walk. The cocktails are fantastic and HUGE (wish I had taken a picture before we drank them). The food was fantastic. We got the baked potatoes with arranchara and OMG . Then we both got tacos as our entree and they were fantastic. The restaurant is super cute and the service is great. We will definitely came back if in Cancun! Also, very instagramable. We sat with Juan and we loved him!! He was fantastic.

Causal open air style with highest quality meats. A few vegan choices but this is steak and seafood. Delightful waiter Luis made it the best

Chicken Alfredo and spaghetti Bolognese

If you enjoy great music and friendly service an excellent food this is the place too go!

Don Julio 1942
Joel N.

Stopped hear for drinks. People that work here are really friendly. Better than that the service is great. Better check the exchange rate before you order. It's different than what everyone else uses in the area. Most places use 21-1. They are 18-1. Got some DON Julio 1942 served with a nice presentation. Also got two free margaritas just to come in.

The drinks and food was very good . Glad I came . Service and vibes was great!!!! Ask for ismael he's the man...

What an awesome look this place has to offer that's it! The food was bland they sell better beans in a can than whoever cooks them here. I got the Eggs with chorizo breakfast and I got sad forcing myself to eat it since it was so salty. I didn't finish it but the waiter was so nice I tried to not be a bump in his road. My partner got the chicken enchiladas and they looked so beautiful when presented but the tortilla was super old it was hard to cut through it and the chicken was literally Tyson chicken placed inside of them. We got offered two free shots while walking by and I don't drink but my partner took his shot and they charged him for it so don't fall for that scam walking by. Unfortunately i found this place on yelp and we gave it the benefit of the doubt plus the shot that was offered was a plus.

This place is amazing. Great margaritas. They sneak up on you though because you can't taste the alcohol. Surf and turf was so so good. Definitely recommend. Can't remember our server's name, but he was also great. Very personable.

Hot cakes
Latrice W.

Rafael was the kindest, most attentive and personable waiter. The food was the BEST that we have experienced in Mexico. We had a combination of breakfast and lunch. Pancakes are good, tacos are wonderful, and drinks are amazing! Just GO

Our aerver.

Great service. Great food, great people. We will probably be back. Best shrimp I've had. Love the margaritas.

Chipotle pasta
Gil B.

The beef nachos were so good forgot to take a photo. Huge serving of chips with seasoned juicy carne asada with cheese, guac, & pickled jalapeños. The chipotle pasta was good & so was the garlic shrimp. It's a small pace and there was a DJ and it got a little loud with the only tables I can see were outside on sidewalk.

Chipotle pasta no bacon
Grace I.

Evelyn was our server she was so great! So attentive, made awesome recommendations. I got the chipotle pasta with no bacon. Was SOOO BOMB

Shrimp salad
Missy M.

This place WAS amazing! We were starving and looking for someplace to eat in Cancun, when we found a place to park our car so figured we would eat nearby and we walked out of the parking spot we saw this place. We walked in an ordered. We were helped by Ismael. Ismael was amazing and even tried to help me find a salsa that wasn't hot at all , which didn't exist. The salsa he brought was too hot and I asked for something else and he brought back something else but it was still hot. I don't like anything hot, but he went over and above trying to create a salsa I could tolerate but my taste buds are babies but my husband loved the salsas he created in an effort to help me. Then the food came and it was all pretty quick, first off the food was amazing!!!! Like seriously we had shrimp, burritos, and a shrimp salad and it was soooooo good! Overall we had an amazing experience and the food was great, wait time was great and overall the entire experience. Is male even took our pics and went over and above for us.

Yummy

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Cancun. The food is excellent. The wait staff is fantastic…read moreand the ambience is nothing short of welcoming and warm. We only had seven nights in Cancun and we chose to return here to eat a second time during this trip. Are lotta good restaurants in Cancun so to get us back there a second night in one vacation, it has to be pretty special. Both nights we had something different and enjoyed all of the dishes Immensely. Don't forget to try the tableside guacamole, prepared by your waiter. Unlike many other Mexican style restaurants in Cancun, or anywhere else, this food is very authentic and the tastes are superb. Don't miss this if you have the opportunity.

We came here to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday and I have to say it was easily the best meal…read morewe had with out all inclusive meal plan. I will say, right off the bat, this place is loud if you're hear during peak meal time. While the mariachi band was a nice added touch, it only exacerbated the already loud dining experience. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic meal, this isn't the place for you. But if you're ok speaking up a bit throughout the meal, do not pass on this restaurant. I opted to try things that I wouldn't easily find at a restaurant, even in Los Angeles where I live. That meant I tried an aztec corn soup for my appetizer (it tasted like liquid corn bread and I say that as a compliment) and then for my main I tried a Molcajete Mixto. It was absolutely amazing. The best way I could explain it is a Mexican bibimbap. Each of the 3 types of meats were grilled perfectly, the special cheese was mild, but had a really great texture to it. The bits of cactus were cooked to perfection where they were soft, but with just the right amount of bite to it. I gobbled that dish up so quickly and considered asking if I could have another one. If I wasn't already stuffed I absolutely would have. It was probably the single best dish I had the entire week I was in Cancun. I've now made it my quest to find somewhere near me where I can get something even remotely comparable. I also appreciate that they had 'kid cocktails.' All 3 of my boys felt so adult sipping on their special mocktails. Our wait staff was a tad out of sorts, they would often say they were going to grab something for us (i.e. a high chair) and then completely dissapear. In the case of the high chair we just ended up finding one ourselves. But I think this issue stemmed from them just being so busy and slightly overstaffed. When they were with us, they were nothing short of fantastic. Honestly, if I ever return to Cancun, I will absolutely be returning here. It was that good. It makes getting the all inclusive package worthwhile. I will, however, avoid going on mariachi night.

This was a bit of a walk from the Marriott Properties and Secrets which are across the street from…read moreFred's and Crab House but you will save 30 minutes each way by walking--the traffic is horrendous! All-in-all it was worth the inconvenience. Very eclectic menu, warm atmosphere and outstanding service. I started withe the Mango-Tamarind: Lettuce, Indian walnut, mango, blueberries, Cotija cheese, mango-habanero dressing and tamarind billet. Unique and tasty. "Swiss Chicken Enchiladas" for the main course was not what you get at a local Mexican joint -- Four tortillas stuffed with chicken, bathed in a creamy tomatillo sauce with melted cheese and a base of refried black beans. This was a 5-star dish! I couldn't resist ordering a side dish though I didn't need to because the enchiladas were really enough, so I indulged myself with fries: these were not your run of the mill French fries. Porfirio's Potatoes -- French fries with chipotle pepper aioli, parmesan cheese and parsley. Finally, if you like ice cream I highly recommend that you order BOTH offerings: 1) "ICE CREAM TASTING" - Strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream from Metate, marzipan ice cream and vanilla from Papantla. Served with grated coconut, chocolate grain, M&M's, Oreo cookies and ice cream cones; and, 2) "PORFIRIO'S MOLECULAR ICE CREAM" - served with cajeta Worcestershire sauce in an ice cream cone. (I know it sounds disgusting right? Nope it worked. The chef is just showing off with this dish)

Dinner in the cancun strip…read more We decided to pick Porfirio's for the evening from all of the restaurants outside of the all inclusive resorts. I took some notes and this is what I thought of the dishes. Xoajacan Imoladas - The mole is perfection. The flautas, superb. Everything in this plate is a symphony of what I would expect from Xoajaca. 9.5/10 Barbacoa Bonemarrow - Barcacoa is on point. The Marrow is Sublime. Together with the accompaniments is superb. I dream of Marrow everyday. This is a 10/10 Yellow fin Tosatadas - Superb!!! One of the best tostadas I have ever had. The microgreens, the sauce and the square Tostada works well all together. 8.8/10 Salmon - Cooked perfectly. The corn is a great accompaniment. The fish is impeccably seasoned. This dish is heaven sent with a 9.8/10 Grilled Octopus - Grilled perfectly, I can tell by the texture. The mash is superb, they used margarine instead of butter and I absolutely love the contrast from the traditional mash. 9.8/10 Mexican Rice - Its pretty good. It does have a nice seafoodish finish. The pepper was actually spicy. Nice and pleasant rice dish. 8/10 Charred Avocado Salad - Grilled avocado is a bit of a wash. It did make it look good on the plate. The dressing is a little weak. Needs a little more zip, some citrus or vinegar would give this salad some justice. Its a little uninspired 7/10 Service is impeccable and attentive and the atmosphere is lovely.

After a great lazy day of floating around the pool for our last day in Cancun, we almost decided to…read moreskip a nice dinner and just grab some (more) tacos from a casual spot nearby. But, after debating and reading some reviews, we decided to call (at 7pm) and see if La Buena Barra had any open tables for 7:30. Since Cancún dinner culture generally ramps up after 8, we were in luck and headed to the restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the host team and escorted promptly to a great table outside, overlooking the lagoon and the last bits of sunset in the sky. The ambience of La Buena Barra is amazing, great lighting, ceiling fans to keep a light breeze going, and music that is loud enough to prevent you from hearing conversations at other tables, but still allowed us to talk just fine. Our servers Jonathan and Estefany were the sweetest and most attentive that we experienced during our trip! Excellent food recommendations, even advising against getting a second dessert (due to their size) instead of just letting us spend more money there. Absolutely worthy of 5 star service! Ok- the food: very good, probably some of the more distinct flavors we enjoyed in Cancun. Also a very unique selection of cocktails, delivered in all sorts of unique glasses. BUT truly the best thing we ate was the corn ice cream! It's molded ice cream that looks exactly like an ear of white corn with a ribbon of dulce de leche in the center- honestly the best ice cream I've ever eaten at a restaurant! Prices per person can easily exceed $1000 pesos here depending on what you get, but it's possible to enjoy the experience on a budget. We shared an appetizer (empanadas, highly recommend), shared a large entree (ribeye tacos, comes with 7), a cocktail, side of corn, and dessert- ended up being around $1200 plus tip.

I think I like the ambience of the interior at this location better than the one in Mexico City. As…read morefor the terrace seating, you can't compare the waterfront view here. The octopus is probably the best I've had. The waygu ribeye taco is up there with the best I've had. The service is friendly and attentive. Probably one of the best - if not the best - dining option along Blvd. Kukulcan.

It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.
