How do you spend a birthday in Cancun?? We'll let me show you, first you head over to Las ape for this big ass marg and hookah ohhh and let me not forget tacoosssss!! I recommend the shrimp tacos. They were too goodttt!!! The service was on point, the vibes were on point, everything was really on point and boyyy make sure you take at least three shots (it's only right) So head over to The Hotel Zone in Cancun and get y'all some of this!!!!

Chelada
Luis A.

This is one of the best spots in Cancún. The place is divey and they play loud music; if that doesn't bother you, just order food from here. I was very skeptical about eating here,But I'm glad I did. The food was delicious, but simple. Everything I ordered was delicious. The Michelada was great as well. I order the michelada with a Modelo beer and it was very tasty. Overall this was the less expensive place that I ate and one of the best.

Ceviche: pretty good and you get a ton of it.

So there are (at least) two restaurants by this same name in Cancun but this is the one in the party zone. The food isn't amazing but it's pretty darn good plus our service was over the top terrific. Depending on your mood, sitting outside or inside makes a huge difference. Inside, you've got a fairly quiet restaurant. Outside, you've got a front row seat to the drunks and vendors and zanies walking this area. That's what we wanted and, even though there weren't any outside tables available, they quickly and happily set one up at our request. The margaritas are tangy and clearly homemade (no mix). The micheladas come in a stein as large as a Buick and are fresh and spicy. The horchata was freshly made, too, and delicious. The guacamole--ordered at the start--did not appear until after our meals were served which was a bit of a bummer but it was also homemade and very good. For our meals, we split the regular sized mariscada with shrimp (the dish everyone seems to get based on the pictures on Yelp) and a ceviche that was MASSIVE. Neither dish was spectacular but there was plenty of food, it all tasted fresh, and it was all tasty. Aside from the dry and boring salad portion, The mariscada is a fun dish and came with rice, beans, fantastic grilled peppers, and two differently prepared shrimp servings. This is not a fancy or amazing restaurant but it's fun and reliable and sometimes that's good enough.

Mix of tacos

After biking in 100% humidity we were desperate to eat in any air conditioned spot regardless of how good the food would be. Unfortunately the other shops nearby were all closed due to Covid and weren't opening up for another couple days. Luckily, one of the waiters flagged us over with promises of cool a/c and we're so glad he did! The food and drink were delicious. I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos and frozen margarita and my husband got a variety of different tacos. The wait stuff were friendly and courteous and even helped my husband find a spot to park our bikes. Definitely recommend this off the beaten path spot- just ignore all the annoying locals trying to sell you things along the way.

Whole fish, fried
Janelle B.

Amazing. Literally was starving and passed by-- the music drew me in lol they were jamming . Ordered the whole fish & I'm embarrassed to show how I left the plate lol but it was great. Very welcoming staff , great drinks. Also stayed and did hooka for a bit. Hooka pricing same as US. Can't wait to go back

Menu, where?
Robert D.

Terrible food, terrible service. Overpriced shack. Making money on tourists by providing terrible service and spoiled food. Service is 1 out 10. What a disaster restaurant. Avoid. Not recommended!

Grilled pineapple, shrimp and cheese

The food was so great!!! staff were kind and their service was really good!! I especially enjoyed the food with grilled pineapple shrimp and cheese !! Of course taco was good too!! This place made my dinner feel wonderful! Thanks guys

Was looking for some fresh grilled fish tacos in the main party zone in Cancun and found this place from fellow yelpers. If your looking for grilled fish or shrimp tacos this is the place. Fish was fresh and delicious. I ordered the garlic mojo de ajo and ajillo grilled fish tacos. My favorite of the two was the ajillo I liked the chili under the fish (was very mild which was great). Santos the waiter explained all the fish taco varieties and I stayed away from the spicy ones for sure. Some others might like those but I can't handle spicy food :) Guacamole was big but wasn't that good I have had better unfortunately.

Great service great food. Marisco's were on point but I have had better not gona lie. Hard Shell shrimp tacos with avocado was bomb, had ceviche and camarones de ajo(garlic) plate.

add tips by themselves. Poor service.
Eden L.

Poor decoration. Cheap chairs and greasy tables. Some dishes charge more than my 4 star hotel. The flavour was just OK. The waiter missed one of our shared dish leaving us unhappy and unsatisfactory. We had tacos and grilled fish. They are both Ok. Filling of tacos was not generous. The fish was better. The fish came with rice and salad. The big tray of dish looks interesting but we never get that and didn't want to wait for it.

Had a f*ckin blast at this spot! This a most definite place to visit while in Cancun! The tiger is my favorite attraction along with the food & drinks!

Shrimp burrito con todo
Mayra C.

Such great service from the waiter. Their agua frescas were delicious and for the price?! Un-believable! I loved it! The thing that really made this place stick out was their green salsa!!!! Had to ask the lady that worked there how to make it before I left, it was to die forrrrr.

Close walk from the aloft with lots of other businesses around. Friendly waiter that can explain all the dishes. I did my research first so I kinda know what I want already. The Shrimp Ceviche is bit different from the TexMex, served without lots of juice in a bowl, instead on a plate. I was here mainly for the seafood combo plate. Since the regular size is too much for two of us, we went for the half size. The price do change based on the season. Some of photo shows 500 peso for the full size, I saw 650 during January. Overall taste of that is good. It has rice, salad, grilled peppers and 3 flavors of shrimps - regular grilled, garlic flavor and cilantro sauced. I like the garlic one the best. You can mix them and eat like a mix salad, or wrap them with soft tortillas and add some chipotles sauce.

5 stars for a lovely meal and festive environment out in Cancun. Mextreme serves breakfast lunch…read moreand dinner and there is a large bar. 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!

This is a smaller place in a plaza, so blink and you'll miss it. I started with a margarita as…read moreusual. 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.

Decided to come here because it's expensive to eat on the resort we're at. We were sat down…read moreimmediately and they promptly took our order. The menu is simple with just enough options to where everyone can find something they like. I had the skirt steak tacos and my friend got fish tacos, We also ordered a frozen margarita and mojito that were huge!!!!! The prices were fair for what you get and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. The music is not too loud so you can have a conversation with your group. They are not pushy to get you in and out like other places. Will definitely be 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.

The servers are all nice and helpful. The food is what highlights this place. Very VERY delicious fish and seafood. They have oyster shooters too.
