We stopped by on a Tuesday evening around 7:30 and it was hopping. The restaurant is two levels and has indoor and outdoor seating both. We were seated outside next to the street. We started off the meal with complimentary bread, which was amazing as we were starving from a long bike ride earlier. The menu has a good selection of tapas as well as a couple different types of paella. For the paella, the minimum size they can make is for two people. We tried: Tortilla de patatas (110 pesos) - we enjoyed this Chistorra i.e. grilled Spanish sausage (95 pesos) - too salty, had to eat it with the croquetas to make it more palatable Croquetas de setas (95 pesos) - was okay but had a weird / slightly sweet aftertaste I didn't like Paella de montana (230 pesos pp) - chicken paella was good. I wish there was slightly less chicken and more rice I'd say the paella was the best part of the meal. The tapas were a bit hit or miss. But overall it's a cute restaurant with decent food, and we enjoyed our experience here.

The kitchen is open so you can peer in to see your food cooking. We ordered the seafood paella which takes about 40 mins to cook at about 250 pp and you can only order this with a minimum of 2 people. So I would suggest to order first and the other stuff can be ordered later. Seafood paella was subpar because the rice was burnt, not charred. but considering we were in Mexico - it was a nice taste. We loved the pulpo appetizer though - it was soft and had some great flavors. The people are genuine and they don't attempt to scam you. So we were happy about that!

Every bite was better than the last and the portions were generous. The iced Irish coffees were the icing on the cake; I'd never had an iced Irish coffee but I think I'm spoiled now. However, what really sets Mora Mora apart is the vibe, the atmosphere. We were only planning on having dinner then heading out to the club, but we enjoyed it all so much we ordered another coffee and just chilled for an hour more. The restaurant is set in the middle courtyard of an old Spanish type villa, but there is thought provoking graffiti everywhere, and even the menu has political poetry and statements throughout. It all certainly made for some good conversation starters; in fact the menu was so well done with literature, I asked if I could take one home and was enthusiastically told yes. Over our two-ish hours there, two different live bands played a few songs and a female doo-wop group beautifully harmonized their hearts out to lively applause. After the bands left the stage, they played a Spotify station of ChillStep music that I eventually had to ask them for, as each song was so perfect for a laid back meal and conversation. At no point was the music ever overpowering but it certainly held the attention. Mora Mora is a fantastic place to go with friends or a laid back dinner date. It takes a few minutes to find and you have to make a reservation, as it has a very 1920's speakeasy vibe. I wouldn't be surprised if the younger crowd held political meetings there. I don't speak much Spanish, but the entire experience was so outstanding, I had to use Google translate to let the Mami at the door know just how pleased we were with the entire evening spent there. 10/10 will go back.

The pork belly tacos were mentioned as a new item. Unusual for Mexico. I've only had them on Tybee Island, GA, at a foodie place. Complimentary chips and salsa were offered while I waited, but Inpassed on those, not wanting to spoil my hunger for the pork belly taco. They arrived - three on the plate. The pork was cooked nearly crisp to the edges but soft in the center. They were seated on a small amount of sauce. They were better than the ones on Tybee Island! So tasty! I could have had a second plate! Service was excellent - friendly and attentive! Highly recommended.

When I saw the woman in the window carving entire Iberico Ham legs, I knew I had to wait for my husband to arrive to eat here. We had a small tapas lunch here, consisting of tomato bread, three different jamons, croquettas, olives, cheese, and some salami. Sadly, not drinking, so we didn't get to wash it down with any rioja :( Service was quite good and very attentive. They were enthusiastic about their jamon options, and even have packages of it to go. Despite me warning my husband that it would be confiscated by Customs upon re-entering the USA, he didn't listen, and got hauled in the secondary screening room upon landing lol. Sorry, pork products are no-go for entering the USA :(

And let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it! After enjoying resort food and drinks for 5 days, our palettes were graced with an absolutely delicious take on Latin fine dining. From the food to the service, we thoroughly enjoyed each carefully prepared dish that was bursting with flavor and complexity. We indulged in the wine-pairing along with our 7 course meal, and left completely satisfied. Our server was very kind and provided excellent service throughout the night (please forgive my memory -- I forgot his name.) But overall, we are so glad that we tried Tempo and it was worth the extra charge, despite being surrounding by several other all-inclusive restaurants! If you have the means to try Tempo during your stay at Paradisus Cancun, I highly recommend coming here. You won't regret it!

We opted for the tasting menu experience, I had the vegetarian and my partner had the regular both with a total of 7 courses and about 4-5 complementary courses. The presentation was wonderful as were the flavor combinations for each dish. The portions are perfect and if you don't fill up on bread (like we did but it's so good!) you should leave more than satisfied. The standout to me was the truffled honey ice component of a savory dish, I was also a HUGE fan of the cheese platter which was perfectly paired with sweet accents to offset the sharpness of the cheeses. After the dessert course they also gave me to very nicely decorated pistachio macarons for my birthday! If you find yourself in Cancun definitely check out Tempo. A Michelin Star Tasting Menu for approximately $100, what is there to think about? Hope you get Daniel as your waiter he is the best!

The food is average at best and by far the worst on the property, but people don't mind. The prices are reasonable and it's comparing apples to oranges when looking at the nicer restaurants. It's hard to complain when you're being delivered food in your lounger by the pool. Throughout my stay, I tried a variety of options with the turkey club being my favorite. The fries always showed up a tad soggy in each dish. The quesadilla and nachos were both very basic. The veggies were a refreshing snack to enjoy by the pool. The cocktails were all delicious as well. Overall, you don't have many lunch options on property so this is what everyone is doing.

The food still comes from the Cafe, but there are servers who will bring your food to you in case you are too lazy to get up. That was us. The wife had the shrimp cocktail and really liked it. The shrimp was fresh and the cocktail sauce had a nice kick. I had the JW burger because I was in the mood for something plain. I was not expecting much because, honestly, how many times has anyone gotten good poolside food? But I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meat and it was quite sizable, probably half a pound. The bacon was good quality and cooked to crisp. The lettuce and tomato were good, the cheddar was good, everything about that burger was good. I had the Cajun chips and they were good. I think the burger was about $15-16 USD but it was worth it. I would definitely eat here again and maybe next time I will get up from my poolside seat and walk a few feet to sit at the Cafe (which overlooks the pools).
