    Tacos
    Stephanie T.

    Habaneros is located in Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun. We were staying at the Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun for a friends wedding and this is one of the places we could dine in. This restaurant is right by the beach and there are beautiful views. We came back here a couple of times during our stay. We had tacos, chips and guacamole, and other dishes. Food was very good. Service was wonderful.

    Habaneros at Hyatt Ziva was our FAVORITE!! We visited in December. Habaneros was staged at the Mercado patio, nearby pool area. We had lunch here EVERYDAY. The fish tacos, ceviche, all other tacos and small plates were all to our liking. Flavors and presentation was beautiful. The hostess, waiters and cooks were friendly and attentive! It's been a while since our experience but I did jot down some names of those who made our experience so great! Robert and Carlos were there everyday we were! Kept the margaritas flowing and checked on us frequently! Looking forward to our next trip at Ziva!

    Note: this place is only available to Hyatt Ziva resort guests!! My family came here for lunch almost every day and we have 0 regrets. I absolutely LOVED the tostadas. They were SO FREAKING GOOD. I wish I could come back here and have some any time.

    If you don't eat anywhere else, eat here! This place is amazing. My friends and I ate here for most lunches of our trip and we still wanted more before we left. I basically tried everything on the menu over the course of our 8 days, so instead of recapping every dish, I will share my highlights and recommendations: Fish Ceviche: Fish marinated in lemon with pico de gallo, cucumber & chili mayonnaise - so fresh and delicious, and the sauce is incredible with the perfect blend of spice and flavor to offset the fish. I ordered this every single time. Flank steak Tacos: Marinated accompanied with caramelized onion - I tried every taco here and these are by far my favorite. Fried fish: Fresh Mojarra fish - if you aren't scared of eating a whole fish, this one's for you. I ordered it after seeing another table with this dish on my first visit and am so glad I did. It's probably the best dish here. Very simple, but excellently seasoned and cooked golden brown and to perfection. Deviled shrimps: Creamy sauce with a touch of chipotle - again, if you aren't scared of eating seafood in its natural form, this is another dish for you! The shrimp are a great size and come with shelled and with the head. Suck on the head a bit and make sure you eat all the delicious sauce that's covering the shrimp. Quite delicious! PRO TIP: Let the server surprise you with some of their specialty margaritas. Enjoy!!!

    For Hyatt Ziva members/ or day pass holders only: 10/10!!!! You HAVE to come here for lunch if you're staying because not only is the atmosphere, aesthetics and drinks delicious but the food was really good too. The bar has a couple swings too,which is so fun but also my favourite margarita options were from this area. I had the aguachile here which was super yummy, as well as the Tuna tosatadas which I have to say we're on 2 toastadas but large! The others had tacos, my partner enjoyed the steak and chicken ones. You really can't beat the view though, it's literally on the beach and so convenient. I cannot wait to come back here and eat more fresh seafood and listen to the waves. - Food guide & content creator IG @ SpicyAivy

    Brunch! Lunch! Ceviche galore!

    The best!!! When you are in the crazy heat and want that ceviche all day, you come here! Comfortable, cool, breezy seating. It's outdoor and it's covered. You can also sit inside but it's still have that indoor/outdoor patio thing. So you feel pretty good. Employees have masks on! The menu is simple. All things ceviche- ( Total 7 or 8) , tacos and then some. I came mainly for ceviche's so I ordered all the ceviche on the menu. Some were great, some were a ok. My favorite was aguachilles and the halibut. Get their inhouse habaneros salsa. it is SO hot! They were hesitant to give me second round of it but it was amazing. I also tried their tacos. Tacos were good, I was a little too full. Drinks were strong. And the best part is that you are on the beach seating. Sand between your toes, nice shade and chairs. It was pretty fun. That habaneros salsa is amazing enough to return.

    i love this place! i came like almost every day for lunch during the week i stayed here. the dress code is dry casual but if you don't have a cover up, they let you sit at the tables in the sand. i especially loved their ceviche rosarito, habanero, and baja fish tacos. the only thing is the fish they use for their ceviche is a hit or miss. sometimes it was really good but other times it was chewy. they also serve delicious drinks here. my favorite was the hibiscus ginger margarita.

    Opens for lunch at 1pm. Dry casual dress code. If you're looking for some bites along the beach, this is your place! What we ate: Starters: - Vuelve a la vida (Octopus, shrimp, scallops & cocktail sauce): I think the sauce was a little too sweet. However, the avocado slices were a good touch, and I enjoyed all the seafood! - Aguachile (Butterfly cut shrimp with lime, cucumber & habanero chili sauce mixed with cucumber & red onions): Surprise - comes with slices of avocado! I didn't like the sauce (because I don't like cucumber), but I ate the avocado! Tacos: 3 per order - taco cris (Shrimp, cheese, green sauce & refried beans, pico de gallo): I enjoyed these tacos, but I figured I would because I love shrimp and cheese! - chicken tinga (Shredded chicken with tomato & chipotle chili sauce, with cheese and sour cream): These tacos were good too! Just not as good as taco cris in my opinion :P

    My boyfriend and I went to this little outdoor restaurant while waiting for our room to be cleaned after checking in. All employees are wearing masks and gloves. Customers are only asked to wear masks when entering. This restaurant has a great view since it's right on the beach and has a bar area with swings! Very Instagram worthy! The drinks were phenomenal, but, the food was mediocre at best. We ordered beef tacos and ceviche. We were provided with chips and salsa/guacamole to start off with. The guacamole was disappointing and I was expecting it to be much better in Mexico than in California. The taco shells tasted kind of bland and the beef was pretty chewy. The ceviche tasted just ok as well. I give this restaurant 3 stars due to their mediocre tasting food. I'll only come to this place for the bar drinks and the swings.

    My fam and I had lunch at Habaneros and it was absolute perfection on a beach day. I have a seafood allergy and still enjoyed my meal despite the slightly limited options. To start, the hut is very nicely located right on the beach, so we had a lovely view of the water literally just a couple yards away. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant; I really felt like I was on vacation mode. Our "table bread" was chips with two salsas and guacamole. This was spectacular. The tortilla chips were unmatched to what I've had here in the U.S. Even though most menu items were seafood, the waiters and kitchen did not let any of my items get cross contaminated. I ordered a Zucchini Tiradito and the skirt steak tacos. The zucchini tiradito was gorgeously presented and incredibly flavorful. It was bright from the citrus, tangy, and had a slight kick from the chili. My skirt steak tacos were the best I've had and I don't think I'll have anything like them again. My family got the Habanero and Fish Ceviche for appetizers. Their entrees were the Day's Catch and Fish Filet Tikin Xic. They must have been truly delicious because they did not stop raving about their meal after we ate there. We wanted to eat there again but decided not to because there were only two non-seafood entrees. I'd give it 5 stars if there was more variety! Nevertheless, you definitely have to eat at Habanero's at least once during your stay at Hyatt Ziva, it will be an unforgettable experience, trust me.

    First time at Hyatt Ziva and I must say this restaurant is my favourite on the resort. They serve the best seafood and cocktails. Must try their ceviches. Very fresh. They have the best margaritas as well. They use fresh ingredients like passion fruit! The waiters provide the best service and always enjoyable. They gave us tequila and mezcal shots and were insistent guests enjoy their time. Love the energy here. The resto is located right by the beach, so I can imagine them always having a great time. I've been to this restaurant three times already. You won't be disappointed. I'm definitely coming back to Ziva and to this resto.

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.

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!

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.

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.
