¡Hola! From Gory Tacos!
Kathy S.

Delicious food, friendly service in downtown Cancun. My husband & I had the shellfish grill for 2 people. It was supposed to have lobster, shrimp, fish & a potato but they were out of lobster. They substituted with extra shrimp. The meal was delicious! Everything cooked beautifully. The servers were very friendly & spoke good English. (They seem to appreciate it if you try to converse in Spanish so feel free to give it a go!) They start you off with nachos & salsa & these were quite good. Our meal, including drinks, cost 955 pesos, about $54 USD.

good food great service and reasonably priced. Bart is the man. Not only a good salesman and server but an all an around wonderful personality. definitely worth the stop. 2 for one drinks at happy hour.

My delicious margarita and my daughter having an horchata.

I will start by saying that the area in which this restaurant is located is the best spot to get delicious and super reasonably priced food. Not only was the food delicious but our server was super friendly and highly energetic. I had the flautas with pollo and a margarita with enough alcohol to get the party started. If yall are in the area come here you will not regret it!!! Thanks for the great service guys!

Excellent service! Delicious guacamole! Authentic Mexican. This an open air restaurant with music. Great for conversation and to escape the Cancun heat. Located by the park. Food is good. WiFi...

Very friendly staff. Ambience was good. Enjoyed the local street lightings and mariachi music 2 x 1 tequila is nice. Food was average. Reasonably priced.

We specifically came back to Gory Tacos after 9 years on our first trip to Cancun since 2008. Great food and service, just as we remembered. Worth the trip downtown. Bart was great!

Bert S.

The best food we've had in Cancun by far! My wife and I ordered the Plato Mexicanos. It had a little bit of everything, FANTASTIC! My step son got the Bistec Ranchero. That was probably the best plate. We also ordered two STRONG margaritas. All this was for just under a $40 bucks and this included the tip. Bart & Olga were extremely accommodating and mad you feel at home. Will definitly be a place to always visit in Cancun.

We went to Gory Tacos for the first time tonight. Our server Bart was wonderful as was our food. The service was great! We could barely put something down when we were finished and it was taken away. The food was DELICIOUS!!! I would highly recommend it any one.

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.

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.

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!
