This place was great. Our "share" portion for two was like sharing for four. Huge portion. Seafood was FRESH! Staff was amazing. Their English was good. Definitely come here if you want shareable portions.

Very hidden, get shuffled in by a street advertiser. Surprised at the quality of offerings. Overall nice staff and cleaner than most places, drinks were strong and the salsa was amazing. Queso fundido was greasy but would totally order again.

This place was recommended to my gf and I from a bartender at Coco Bongo, and it did not disappoint! Our waiter Ricardo (and Luis) made many recommendations that we tried like the El Morro tostada, the shrimp tostada and the seared tuna. All were done so well! We also had oysters which were good size and fresh! Highly recommend this place just off the Main Street in Cancun. A really nice hidden gem! Didn't get pictures of all the food because it was so good and we just wanted to eat! Edit: I posted this review expecting nothing in return and showed Ricardo, and the manager brought us over oyster shooters! Customer service at its finest!!! Will def be coming back here next time I'm in Cancun

Michelada El Morro and scallops aguachile. Truly the best I've ever had!

Best drinks, seafood and steak! The staff was great. It's right next to coco bongo. The area and ambience is exactly what I was looking for. Very lively place and surrounding area. I would say the most lively area in Cancun. Next to Hard Rock Cafe second floor.

5 stars for a lovely meal and festive environment out in Cancun. Mextreme serves breakfast lunch…read moreand dinner and there is a large bar. We had been walking in the area earlier that day and made a plan to come back for dinner. When we arrived there were a lot of people but we were seated immediately. Martin was our waiter and he was great. There were a few large screen TVs playing sports. There was live music. A lot was going on but it really worked. People were enjoying themselves and the wait staff was friendly and talkative. I ordered shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the mole. He always orders mole. The meals were very good. We ordered a mango margarita and Tecate. The margarita came with a tehine rim. I just wiped it off. That is becoming so popular. I decided to indulge in the banana dessert and I am glad I did. It came with a show. That was fun and the dessert was delicious. We were there earlier in the evening and we saw many couples and families. I'm sure the place gets a little more livelier as the night goes on. If you are in the area, this is a good place to eat and enjoy your time in Cancun.

I've been coming to Cancun 35 years. How did I miss Mextreme??? Such a FUN and affordable venue!…read more Sitting outside, there is literally entertainment everywhere you look. The wait staff forms a conga line to deliver a margarita, carried atop a sombrero! The play tunes and dance around inviting diners to join them. Service is attentive & excellent! The menu has 90% Mexican specialities, but also has pasta, burgers and vegetarian. I was there with friends who had quesadillas & I had chicken enchiladas. Everything was good & portions were big. I just drank water, so cannot comment on the drinks. I had the flan for dessert, which was generous in size & ok. One of my friends had the flaming bananas & said it was so yummy! Everything is surprisingly (for Cancun) priced affordable. My enchiladas were about $12. I would happily return here! So much fun!

My group and I stopped here while on a week long vacation in Cancun. We stay on a resort nearby and…read morego out to eat every night. 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.
