It's a steakhouse so think of leather, wood, modern, sleek, dimly lit, out door action taking place, and docking available. It's fine dining at the beach and how sexy is Harry's? Very Sexy! Part of the Anderson group we learned that Cancuns best restaurants are part of a chain and glad we were able to try two of them, Harry's being one. Service - Top notch. You know it's fine dining with the service you're getting as soon as you walk in. Let's get into it! Complimentary Bread - Yes please, the best ever! Appetizer - Oyster Rockefeller- These oysters were the biggest I've had seen in life. I did like them but they were lukewarm, they also didn't have bacon which for me, I needed it. They were just too big not to have something extra. Good nonetheless. Burger - Of course I got a burger because I'm a kid at heart. I loved it and that bun omg! Fries were great. Short Rib Sandwich - Delicious he loved the Au jus that went with it. Dessert - Chocolate Cake - It was good but had a bitter chocolate flavor. We always get dessert and this was not our favorite. Complimentary Cotton Candy? And that is exactly why they are 5 stars. It's like a whole love story in here, they aren't perfect but they sure make up for it in ways that count! Yes to Harry's all day, every day!! Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our group lives part of the year in Cancun. We…read moremade it in time to watch sunset across the lagoon. Harry's has a wonderful setting directly on the water. You can access by car or by boat. They presented menus and all steaks come in 3 versions: Kobe, Waygu or USDA. I have to say crazy prices and I am accustomed to Miami. A waiter brings an actual display of the steaks to the table. The tomahawk has to be 3 feet tall. I cannot imagine anyone eating it! We all ordered USDA filets in the mid $80 range. I ordered mine medium. It was overcooked. No pink/red in the middle and very dry. I was a bit disappointed. We were never rushed. At the end, they brought a piece of cake for the birthday celebrant and a huge cotton candy for the table to enjoy. We each had individual bills. I assume because I was English speaking, they converted mine from pesos to US$'s. I always pay in pesos. The tip has been added and my bill was $139. Not sure how it went from $88 to $139. I did not drink any alcohol - only water. It was fine for a one time visit.

The most recent location is on the second floor inside of the La Isla mall. The restaurant is upscale dining, which matches the mid to high end shopping options in the mall. The service is always stellar and you can count on having a nice glass of wine or another drink of choice with your delicious dinner. The ambiance is upscale but also comfortable. This time we shared a mixed salad (huge) and the soufflé potato puffs (a signature side), I ordered a small tenderloin and Paul got a ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly. They both needed a little salt for our tastes, but each was tender, juicy and tasty. It is difficult to go wrong here if you want a great dining experience in Cancun. And yes, it is pricey, but worth it.

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)

Dinner in the cancun strip…read more We decided to pick Porfirio's for the evening from all of the restaurants outside of the all inclusive resorts. 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.

But, our favorite part was our server, sweet Ernesto. He went above and beyond to serve us delicious and a nice dinner. There was jazz playing and he asked us what our favorite music was and he played frank sinatra for us. He was kind and attentive and even though I spoke a little Spanish, he used both languages to communicate with us which was very sweet. He told us about his kids and his life in America which was so cool to learn and he also helped us find fun activities to do at night with the help of calling someone. We will definitely remember this restaurant the next time we vacation to Mexico and we are so grateful to this wholesome man.

After a great lazy day of floating around the pool for our last day in Cancun, we almost decided to…read moreskip a nice dinner and just grab some (more) tacos from a casual spot nearby. But, after debating and reading some reviews, we decided to call (at 7pm) and see if La Buena Barra had any open tables for 7:30. Since Cancún dinner culture generally ramps up after 8, we were in luck and headed to the restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the host team and escorted promptly to a great table outside, overlooking the lagoon and the last bits of sunset in the sky. The ambience of La Buena Barra is amazing, great lighting, ceiling fans to keep a light breeze going, and music that is loud enough to prevent you from hearing conversations at other tables, but still allowed us to talk just fine. Our servers Jonathan and Estefany were the sweetest and most attentive that we experienced during our trip! Excellent food recommendations, even advising against getting a second dessert (due to their size) instead of just letting us spend more money there. Absolutely worthy of 5 star service! Ok- the food: very good, probably some of the more distinct flavors we enjoyed in Cancun. Also a very unique selection of cocktails, delivered in all sorts of unique glasses. BUT truly the best thing we ate was the corn ice cream! It's molded ice cream that looks exactly like an ear of white corn with a ribbon of dulce de leche in the center- honestly the best ice cream I've ever eaten at a restaurant! Prices per person can easily exceed $1000 pesos here depending on what you get, but it's possible to enjoy the experience on a budget. We shared an appetizer (empanadas, highly recommend), shared a large entree (ribeye tacos, comes with 7), a cocktail, side of corn, and dessert- ended up being around $1200 plus tip.

We loved it so much, we ended up here twice in the same week. The service is outstanding here and you can tell they pride themselves on customer service. Before the meal, they do drop off bread with dipping sauces, garlic, and butter. The perfect appetizer. One reason I love this place is the salads. They are big enough for split for 2 and I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options. Personally, the cesar salad is my favorite. What I love about this salad, is they make the dressing right in front of you. Definitely a cool and unique experience. The first time, I ordered the tuna steak. It comes with a soy sauce and a garlic butter. These two sauces on the tuna makes for an incredible meal. I cannot say enough good things about this entree! The second night we went my boyfriend and I split the Cesar salad and the skirt steak. We also added on a side of mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The whole meal was delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite part because everything tasted so good. Splitting this was the perfect meal for two people and we even had a bit left over to snack on the next day. I always have a wonderful experience with even better food when I come here. If you happen to be in the area this is a must stop.

Stumbled on this Gem!…read more I was looking for Walmart, because I needed to get some supplies for our Cancun trip. Since my toddler missed lunch, we decided to check this place out and grab something for him to eat. Loved this place! Recap: 1. Parking - Private parking, which will cost you about 15 pesos for the first 3 hours. Not too bad. 2. Décor/Atmosphere - Clean, simple, and casual. 3. Food - Great! Very simple menu, but you can definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients used. We ordered a Soup de Tortilla for my son and a crepe for my wife. The soup had a lot of flavor and they gave us a very generous bowl. Well presented and came with extra toppings like chile peppers, pork rinds, sour cream, fresh avocados, and cheese. The Crepe was made fresh to order and stuffed with fresh berries and whipped cream. My wife inhaled it before I could take a bite. We also had two sangria that were also very refreshing. 4. Service - This is where this place exceeded my expectations. This restaurant is located in a strip mall and away from the tourist areas. Instead of trying to throw us out and put up a wall (like what stupid Americans would do), they were very, very welcoming. We were served by two people. One waiter was designated to us, but another server helped out because he spoke fluent English. They really went above and beyond; explaining what each food is, provided recommendations, etc. Although our first server's English was limited, I could tell that he wanted to provide the best service he possibly can. (ie, trying to explain to us that there's a daycare on site, digging up crayons to keep my toddler entertained, and even tracking down my wife and son to let them know that lunch is ready). 5. Bathroom - Not sure, didn't have to use it. But they did have a communal faucet between the men's and women's restroom that was very clean. I would image the restrooms to be the same. 6. Price - Very, very reasonable! I think we spent a total of 400 pesos (about 23 USD), which included tax + 20% tip. 7. Baby Friendly - YES! They have a daycare/nanny on site that will help you watch your kid while you enjoy your meal. The room is padded and has a lot of toys and activities to keep your child busy. My 2-yr-old toddler loved it there! Very clean too. Overall, we loved it here. I couldn't believe how great the service was and loved how the staff went above and beyond to take care of us. The food was fantastic, but unfortunately we were just here for a dessert and soup. We'll have to come back again!
