There were so many lovely meal options and both were huge meals. So delicious and so fresh. They also clean up everything for you afterwards so you don't have to worry about a single thing in the kitchen. I 1000% recommended them.

Mendieta's is a 10-star caterer, but since Yelp will only let me post 5 stars, this will have to…read moredo. I recently took my entire family to Mexico for me and my husband's wedding, and 22 of us stayed in a beautiful villa and had Mendieta's recommended to us for catering Thanksgiving dinner. Our concierge gave us a list of 3-4 catered, but highly recommended Mendieta's, so we booked them. I had no idea just how big of a treat it would be to have Chef Maria, her husband and her team prepare our holiday dinner. I thought it would just be the food but it was so much more! They brought beautiful, Mexican table decor and place settings to make the dinner feel like a lush event. The details were everything! I also gave them a list of food allergies/restrictions and I was so glad that they happily accommodated all of them! And the food still tasted amazing! Now, on to the food -- simply incredible and delicious! They prepared it at our villa (it 'took them only 2 hours to get food on the table, which is amazing for the number of people we had!). We had their Real Mexican menu, which was family style, and included elote (corn), braised beef tacos, fish and rice, guacamole, salsas, and several other items that tasted delicious! A big plus for me was how pleasant and loving Chef Maria and the entire Mendieta's team was. They served us dinner, poured the wine we bought at the local store (all throughout the night), and gave us shots to celebrate the festive occasion! They also arranged the dining room tables and used tables from other parts of the house to set everything up so that all 22 of us could eat together. Man, what a treat! Their pricing is SO reasonable, and they also have menus for kids, as well as discounted prices of the adult menu for children. I'm OVER THE MOON with them and will definitely be back to have them cater our next trip to Mexico! Last thing - Chef Maria helped me pick the menu and was so lovely in all of our texts to help me mommy arrange everything and get the final details done. That was a huge relief since our wedding was that same weekend and my head couldn't take anymore planning! They worked so hard and were such great people...I couldn't have asked for more. My friends who stopped by for dinner said it was their favorite part of the entire trip - other than our wedding. Thank you Mendieta's!!!

Maria and Victor have the Michelin touch. They bring the perfect gourmet experience and joy to our…read moreprivate dinner. We had the Mexican experience of 11 dishes - all amazing but the highlights are Tinga de Pollo and Albondigas. They set up the table beautifully as if Four Seasons was hosting Cinco de Mayo. Lastly, the Mexican/Romanian couple is charming and interesting. They are simply delightful. An experience we will never forget and will seek to repeat when we return to Cancun.

Good selection of fruits and vegetables - we love the guavas, mangos, and carrots the most! They taste so fresh and more flavorful than what we get in the US. Decent selection of meat, dairy, snacks, cereal, etc too! They have a bakery (with fresh tortillas), pharmacy, a touristy area (bathing suits, shirts, souvenirs, etc), and an area that has prepped food items. They also have a decent alcohol/beer area. Prices are way better than what they charge at the hotel (though you're likely paying for convenience there). Highly recommend this treat to pick up items! This is on the top floor of a shopping mall, though the mall itself has few store these days.

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.
