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

It's a steakhouse so think of leather, wood, modern, sleek, dimly lit, out door action taking place, and docking available. It's fine dining at the beach and how sexy is Harry's? Very Sexy! Part of the Anderson group we learned that Cancuns best restaurants are part of a chain and glad we were able to try two of them, Harry's being one. Service - Top notch. You know it's fine dining with the service you're getting as soon as you walk in. Let's get into it! Complimentary Bread - Yes please, the best ever! Appetizer - Oyster Rockefeller- These oysters were the biggest I've had seen in life. I did like them but they were lukewarm, they also didn't have bacon which for me, I needed it. They were just too big not to have something extra. Good nonetheless. Burger - Of course I got a burger because I'm a kid at heart. I loved it and that bun omg! Fries were great. Short Rib Sandwich - Delicious he loved the Au jus that went with it. Dessert - Chocolate Cake - It was good but had a bitter chocolate flavor. We always get dessert and this was not our favorite. Complimentary Cotton Candy? And that is exactly why they are 5 stars. It's like a whole love story in here, they aren't perfect but they sure make up for it in ways that count! Yes to Harry's all day, every day!! Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

Harry's has a wonderful setting directly on the water. You can access by car or by boat. They presented menus and all steaks come in 3 versions: Kobe, Waygu or USDA. I have to say crazy prices and I am accustomed to Miami. A waiter brings an actual display of the steaks to the table. The tomahawk has to be 3 feet tall. I cannot imagine anyone eating it! We all ordered USDA filets in the mid $80 range. I ordered mine medium. It was overcooked. No pink/red in the middle and very dry. I was a bit disappointed. We were never rushed. At the end, they brought a piece of cake for the birthday celebrant and a huge cotton candy for the table to enjoy. We each had individual bills. I assume because I was English speaking, they converted mine from pesos to US$'s. I always pay in pesos. The tip has been added and my bill was $139. Not sure how it went from $88 to $139. I did not drink any alcohol - only water. It was fine for a one time visit.

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.

We loved it so much, we ended up here twice in the same week. The service is outstanding here and you can tell they pride themselves on customer service. Before the meal, they do drop off bread with dipping sauces, garlic, and butter. The perfect appetizer. One reason I love this place is the salads. They are big enough for split for 2 and I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options. Personally, the cesar salad is my favorite. What I love about this salad, is they make the dressing right in front of you. Definitely a cool and unique experience. The first time, I ordered the tuna steak. It comes with a soy sauce and a garlic butter. These two sauces on the tuna makes for an incredible meal. I cannot say enough good things about this entree! The second night we went my boyfriend and I split the Cesar salad and the skirt steak. We also added on a side of mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The whole meal was delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite part because everything tasted so good. Splitting this was the perfect meal for two people and we even had a bit left over to snack on the next day. I always have a wonderful experience with even better food when I come here. If you happen to be in the area this is a must stop.

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)

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.

This place was recommended by our butler at the hotel, and honestly, we should have just gone with our original choice instead of coming here. The restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing, but that's about where the positives end. The food is seriously underwhelming and absolutely not worth the price. I ordered the seafood spaghetti, and every single clam came out closed. The mussels were ridiculously small, there was barely any other seafood in the dish, and for the price they charge, it honestly feels like a complete rip-off. The show is entertaining, but the entertainment is better than the food, in my opinion. On top of that, the sodas we were served were flat and appeared to be expired, which is completely unacceptable. This has easily been the worst dining experience I've had since being here. The atmosphere may look nice, but that does not make up for poor-quality food, questionable drinks, and prices that do not match what you're actually getting. I would not come back, and I definitely would not recommend this restaurant. And, we came here to celebrate a birthday. Wow!
