Ok... PROS: Much cheaper than hotels Food is decent Funny tourist stuff like carrying drinks on their heads and photo opps Clean Nice service Spicy hot sauce CONS: Shrimp fajitas came with chicken and beef? Food is super average at best Overall, we give it a 3.5 so it's aight but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Had a great time, but it is definitely a place that caters to the experience, perhaps at the expense of the food and authenticity. The venue is loud and on the main drag by the water, so be prepared to spend your meal yelling to each other (or just nodding and smiling). Service was pretty good considering that the servers had to manage the tables and often deliver drinks stacked 5+ high on their heads. Food was definitely Mexican inspired, but considering that you're IN Mexico it shouldn't remind you of something from a TexMex chain in the US. Tacos al pastor were made to order, and you can see them being prepared with the trompo outside, but the meat was dry and kind of hammered. if I didn't know what I had ordered I would have thought it was just chopped up meat on my taco. In their defense, I watched what looked to be the senior cook come on later in the night and tell the guy that made my order that he was doing it wrong, so maybe I just got unlucky. Prices were fine for the area in the tourist sweet spot. Parking can be a challenge, especially the first time you try to get to the place as you will inevitably pass it and have to circle around at the supermarket. We had a good time and left feeling full, but nothing about the experience rang true to Mexico or even Cancun. Same experience can be had in any American tourist town, albeit at a greater cost. read more

Good was good. The beer selection was limited but overall good experience..Would visit again. service was pretty good, I believe the servers name was David. read more

Excellente Service, Food was amazing, the first stop for food when we came to Mexico. The staff was very friendly and talented as well. Carrying beverages on top of their heads, dancing and laughing, creating a fun great positive environment for the customers. I recommend this place as the go to in Mexico. I will be eating here everyday!!!! read more

My girl and I had a dinner here. The food was great and the service was good too. We had fajitas, enchiladas, and their guacamole. The guacamole was delicious obviously made fresh. They also had a band some some TVs if you are into sporting events. Solid, clean, middle of the road food place. read more

WONDERFUL Mexican food!! The tableside Gauc, the Grand Molcojete, and the best veggie fajitas (zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers), SO good! Super fun atmosphere, the servers deliver margs on stacks on their head! Only missing one star for the atmosphere. It's a little lacking for the area. I prefer a bit more coziness/dimmer lighting. But if you want access to a TV screen and music and a bit more party, this is the place! I must say it was great to watch the AFC champ game their last weekend, so in that case, the TVs were a bonus. Already returned once, will probably go again. read more

Would definitely come back. Indoor and outdoor seating. Variety of dishes including larger portions that can be shared among a few (it won't same it feeds 2-4 however) but taco platter and mocaljete are good for 2 and the parillada good for 3-4. FYI- look at your receipt as tip might be included depending on purchase price vs amount in your group. read more

So good! Definitely recommend. We came for breakfast on our last morning in Mexico and wished we had found it earlier! The staff Waac great and the food was delicious. Great outdoor seating patio but the inside is super cute as well! Fun outdoor bar also. Would definitely come back read more

Good food, mariachis and affordable prices. The servers give a little entertainment too.

Just really good experience. I got the molcajete, outstanding sauce like nothing I've ever had--rich and full of umami. My wife got something less memorable, a shredded chicken with orange juice. Good but not insane. Guac was solid. But the runaway highlight was the coffee mexicano. They brought out this huge tray with two steel gravy boats, two shots, a pitcher of coffee, and a clear coffee mug. It also had a soaked towel that would later serve as a source of fire. The guy proceeded with a huge show, where he lit lots of the liquor on fire, glazed the sugar on the rim of the cup, and poured liquor into a waterfall of fire, into the cup. After adding coffee, he topped it off with a generous scoop of ice cream. It was not only the greatest display of pyrotronic bartending I've ever seen, anywhere, but it was also delicious. I asked if they do that for everyone and they said no, just for speciality. I think the thing at this restaurant is that everyone gets something special--guac at the table, drinks carried on top of servers heads, something. Really recommend it. read more

One of my favorite restaurants that I ate at during my trip to Cancun Mexico. The food and service was great and the restaurant is very close to the hotel zone read more

Very close to the hotel zone, especially if you are staying at the Riu or the Fiesta Americana Coral. Food is "ok", drinks are better than those in the hotels. The main sell here is the outdoor experience, the dancing service staff with drinks on their heads and the live mariachi (must tip!!). I would say that it is more expensive that some of the other local restaurants, but nothing that would break the bank! read more

The food was bland which was disappointing for our first meal in Cancun. Should have known this was a tourist trap but the reviews on here seemed promising. We got the sampler and the quesadilla. Our waiter then tried to trick us by inflating the bill with the included gratuity. The only redeeming quality was the margarita. read more

Food is great ,staff very friendly,walking distance to hotels ,everyone speak english at least a little to answer ur food related question,we got 2 diffrent taco plates and both was yumm read more

The food is nice, but the service is disappointing. The waiter is not familiar with the surroundings (I wanted to go to playa forum but he pointed me to a wrong direction). Not swift as well. Every time I need him, I cannot find him. Maybe because it was 3pm. He was tired? But in the end, he automatically charged me 15% tips. I was a little surprised, though I was indeed planning to tip the same amount. I think what happened here never happens in a good restaurant. And he asked me to rate the food of the restaurant, standing right next to me. I study psychology. There was definitely a 'demand effect'. I've stayed in Mexico City, Guanajuato, San Miguel for many days. I love people, culture, food there. But this lunch (service) in Cancun is by far the least satisfying. read more

This place is very touristy. Totally Americanized food. If you are looking for something authentic, stay away. You buy your own water. Drinks are OK. Outside sitting is good. There are lots of other restaurants in that area, look around before you decide. read more

Was terribly deceived by Yelp reviews. Came here because it was close to our hotel and because it was rated as #1 on Yelp in the area. I ordered the cochinita pibil to try it out since it is a popular dish in that part of Mexico. My wife got enmoladas. Both dishes were way over seasoned. I did not like the cochinita pibil. It's weird because it tasted way over seasoned but at the same time tasted very bland. The beans that came as a side tasted like they came out of a can. I will say that the staff was super great. Very attentive and had a show going. If it wasn't for the staff being so great I would have only left 1 Star. read more

Great drinks！Food size is little bigger than we think it should be. The best taco I never had before. read more

Service was great, staff was friendly and entertaining and the overall ambiance was festive and fun. The food was definitely not typical Mexican food. It was bland and 'americanized' we ordered the fish tacos and a plate on nachos. They had no flavor, the fish was not fresh, the salsas didn't even have a kick and it was very disappointing. After eating throughout our entire stay delicious Mexican fare this was really a disappointment. I was expecting the magnificent food that I had been eating all week long and mextreme was definitely not that. It may be a perfect place for someone that likes more Americanized Mexican food. But definitely not the place for me. read more

Most fun place to eat in Cancun! I never leave reviews but this place was awesome. They bring the drinks on their heads, light the alcohol on fire, and have a blast talking with you (especially if you're willing to try spanish - mine is terrible, but when in Mexico!) Definitely worth leaving your resort for! read more

Overall great experience, very touristy but that's what you get in the hotel zone. We started with the table side guac, which was huge, and a couple of drinks delivered nicely balanced! Our meals were both very good and we lucked out that we were just in time for the live mariachi. read more

Great local Mexican cuisine. The wait was not long on Sun night. We have a trainee as a waiter who is very nice but mess up our order with each meal come out one at a time for 2 people with 1 appetizer & 2 entrees, chicken quesadillas, chicken enchiladas & shrimp fajitas. All very tasty. We had 3 margaritas all delicious. It's a fun place as Couple of waiters balance the drinks on top of their head. This is also a place where Tom Cruise filmed Cocktail. read more

Food was respectable and plentiful. Didnt want to pay the high hotel prices. Waiters are good, atmosphere was good too...

In the thick of it in Cancun but the food is legit, fresh and good. It is a bit more pricey them some of the more off the beat and path places. We ordered the table quac, taco platter for two, tacos dorados and chicken quesadilla. All were excellent. The taco platter was plenty for (4) medium eaters. The quac was amazing! They had live mariachis and a salsa band and really nice outside seating. read more

everytime I come too Cancun I HAVE TO COME HERE...the carnitas are the best the service is perfect the drinks always good

The staff were very friendly and all spoke English. The food was great and the portions are big. The margaritas was disappointing! But overall a good place to go and they have us a free appetizer plate. The prices are just like the USA. Don't expect to save money while vacationing I'm Mexico! read more

Don't sit at bar alone if your looking to have a fun experience and interact with bartender. Food is over priced for torist but they have nice presentation and food taste great. They don't do much during day but at night it's very lively with shows and lights and dancing. read more

Guacamole super tasty and fresh. For a premium they prepare it right in front of you. Basic ingredients, you have to ask for spicy Then the rest was just meh or bad. veggies tastes of pure butter (couldn't tell if I was eating a carrot or a brócoli), fish al ajillo needed more saucy and more flavor, the micheladas were also bad.. don't recommend.. unless you are going to watch the shows which are good. read more

We came here on our last night and because we had a coupon for 15% off. We were staying in the hotel zone so we wanted something within walking distance. Things can be quite cheap in Mexico, but not so in the hotel zone in Cancun. Expect equivalent American prices of about 10-20 dollars a plate. That said, we enjoyed our time greatly. They have a nice patio for dining outdoors, a small ensemble of mariachi musicians playing music, and very friendly waitstaff. We ordered a spicy mango margarita and another one of their popular drinks. They were both delicious. We ordered their ceviche and appetizer platter and fish tacos to share. It was more than enough food for the three of us. The ceviche was definitely the highlight of the meal. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant. Very tasty authentic Mexican food. it's conveniently located and they have mimosas read more

We ate at Mextreme on our first night in Cancun simply due to convenience/location. They have a great outdoor seating area and had exceptional service. I would definitely say their food is O-K. Its very much what you would see in the states. Prices are quite reasonable for hotel zone standards. I ordered a ceviche (nice portion but almost solely shrimp) and the "Mayan" soup which was essentially chicken tortilla soup (total for both was $12 + free appetizer for standing outside and hmm-hawing over their menu). Drinks are pricey but oh man, the delivery is delightful. How does one balance 3 margaritas one's head? I echo what the others say about checking in on yelp to get the additional 15% off. Plus, they will give you a 20% off coupon for their sister restaurant next door. read more

The name of this restaurant is too good to pass up. Plus, their logo is "110% Mexican flavor" (or something along those lines). The decoration is overly Mexican and it definitely feels touristy (especially when their food items are called Mexican Snack or Taco Party), but it's a fun place to go for food and drinks. We got a coupon from a random worker for a free Mexican Snack which was a taquito, enchilada, and some other stuff I can't remember...was pretty good. I ordered the mixed juice (which was like a papaya and pineapple smoothie...yum) and our waiter carried our 4 drinks on his head and allowed us to pick it off his head. It was so entertaining, I couldn't even. We also got the Mayan ceviche and the taco party. Both were good but not excellent - the meat in the taco party seemed a bit suspicious and the seasoning was just okay. However +1 for service and atmosphere. read more

This restaurant has good local fare and was convenient to our hotel. There are four in our family and we were able to find something for everyone (the kids are hamburgers). The price was higher than I expected, about $56 before the tip but the portions were sizable and the food was very good. read more

So hyped about atmosphere from outside truth revealed itself when we get in. Food were far from being authentic and service was not great. I mean not a big smile, trying to add-on unnecessary things to the list. When you say 'no' unpleasant facial impression but they were still nice. Good sides drinks were big and not cheating on alcohol side. Open layout most portion of the kitchen will let you see what is going on in the kitchen. Overall if your expectations are not so high you won't get disappointed. My problem was kinda high expectations because of the reviews that I've read. read more

I'll keep this short. While the staff here are exceptionally friendly, I will say the food here is MEXTREMELY BLAND. It's hard to make enchiladas and chimichangas flavorless, but they figured out how. If you're eating here I definitely recommend taking full advantage of their substantial tequila selection. You'll need something to chase the wack food. read more
