    I visited this location for my birthday. The quality of the food and service was excellent. I enjoyed the coconut shrimp and table-side guacamole. This restaurant is located in a great area and is very inviting. However, I took off two stars as I was forced to leave a review to get a complimentary birthday shot. My waiter was Carlos. He started off doing great; however, I waited about 30-40 minutes between finishing my food and receiving my check. To me, this was unacceptable. He offered a coupon for my next visit; however, the damage was already done. Would I recommend, yes, would I return, probably not.

    Triple milk cake (tres leches)
    Isaac H.

    Great place if you're looking for great seafood and a casual atmosphere! The waitstaff is very attentive and friendly, and are bilingual for any other tourists like us who can't get by on their Spanish. I had the battered fish tacos, which were good, and my wife had the grilled tuna, which was fantastic. They really know what they are doing with their seafood, so don't be shy about ordering the tuna more on the rare side than well-done. To top it off we had their horchata and tres leches cake (they call it their three milk cake but come on, we know what it's really called!) and they were fantastic. Price came in well under what we were expecting for such a large meal. Definitely recommend.

    Had lunch here with my hubby and our doggo (yes, this place is dog friendly, unlike many others). Everything was amazing: the food, the ambiance, music). We had guacamole with fried shrimps and chicken fajitas. Best guacamole we've tried in Cancun and it's been over a week. And service was even better!!! Everything starting with the hostess, but the servers were amazing to the point that it felt like a high end restaurant. Our water was Ernesto and if you ever there, ask for that guy, cause he really turned a simple lunch into an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!!!

    Shrimp Ceviche Aquachile
    Jessica N.

    I was surprised... Marinero's was great fun and the food was good for this touristy area. The staff were fantastic and accommodated my dairy free request by cooking the grilled seafood with oil instead of butter. We ordered: -Shrimp ceviche aquachile (with Serrano peppers) -Table side guacamole -Beef fajitas with corn tortillas -Seafood Molcajete Kids ordered the burger and pasta They have a small band that plays on the patio Thurs-Sun The servers, like Raul, ensured we had a great time and had everything we needed!

    Yummy affordable seafood. We were referred here from our hotel and were not disappointed. The ambiance was really great, we even had a mariachi band perform while we enjoyed our dinner. The staff was very attentive and the food came so fast- I literally think within 10-15 minutes AND it was fresh. The drinks were also super yummy. If I had room for dessert I definitely would've tried it. Great place to grab some seafood in downtown Cancun.

    Expensive and low quantity
    Sibi S.

    Total rip off for what you pay for. Dinner quantity is so less like a kid's meal and the quality is little above average. If you like sea food there are several places in the same hotel strip for a much better experience. For instance Isla Contoy has high quality sea food buffet every night for about the same price and 10 times better ambience and service. We have been eating in the hotel strip for past 7 days/nights and this would be my least favorite. Good luck!!

    Ordered fried whole fish and shrimp tacos. Service was prompt and everyone pleasant. Fish dish was huge and fried perfectly. Tacos were delicious. Both were filling. Coconut water is served in actual coconut was good. Enjoyed the meal very much and will come again when back!

    Special delivery of Jamaica drink by Raul.

    After doing some retail therapy in the neighboring shops, we walked by Marinero's and Raul, the waiter, caught our attention by stating that the restaurant was one of the top 20 restaurants in Cancun. That peaked our curiosity so we gave it a try, and we were not disappointed. The chicken fajitas was perfectly seasoned and very tasty, the octopus with garlic butter was tender and moist, and the smoked marlin burrito was very flavorful. Raul gave us a heads up and advised that the marlin did not have the same texture as fish and tasted more like pork. It actually had more like a chicken texture and we were not disappointed. It was entertaining how Raul delivered the jamaica drink, balancing it on his head!

    The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious! The shrimp was fresh and the cake was really rich.

    Mango margarita...excellent
    Greg F.

    Hooray for the fruit and alcohol! During a late night stroll and headed to a club, we stumbled upon Marinero's. The atmosphere was festive, and I really needed a classic margarita. I ordered a large mango blended margarita. I watched the server make the margarita and noticed he included fresh mango, Jose Cuervo, and Triple sec. This margarita was very good, and the texture was bordering on whipped. It was not too sweet or sour...it was just right. This drink really got the party started. The only negative was the price, but I would go back for another.

    Marinero's good cocktails and great ambience!
    Massimo Veronica D.

    Very clean and following Covid regulations; great outdoor ambience with live music; very good food and cocktails. I definitely recommend to visit this restaurant when visiting Cancún

    Compared to its neighbor (same owner), the chips are more stale and the food portions are small relative to the price.

    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

    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!
