Patty with our drinks
Dan G.

Another awesome experience at Mextreme. Eddy, our server, was phenomenal. Always attentive to our needs and really his service was excellent. Of course, the reason we always come to Mextreme is the food. The food is delicious (carnitas, enchiladas, and Molcajetes). Don't forget those Margaritas and I had a double shot with chaser.

Mole enchiladas
Lee Z.

Food was not bad. Fajitas were decent. Mole enchiladas were a but sweeter than I would like. Bu We sat outside. It wasnt that crowded. Service was attentive and pleasant. A lively atmosphere. An overall nice experience.

Tikin Xic fillet
Tony L.

【Background】 Sunday, April 27, 2025, ~8:15 PM After flying into Cancun and checking into my hotel, I was hungry for my first meal in Mexico. There weren't too many options near me, but I had Mextreme saved from an article on The Infatuation [1], and a post on the Cancun subreddit also recommended it. So my friends and I decided to visit for dinner. The reviews weren't kidding about the ambiance being (M)extremely lively. The restaurant has outdoor seating with colorful furniture and string lights hanging overhead. Loud music played in the background. Employees walked around the tables, offering huge sombreros for customers to wear while eating. If a table orders drinks, an employee will come out and balance them on their head. The restaurant really focuses on the entertainment factor, and it seemed to be working since it was pretty busy with a good number of customers. 【Food】 Menu: https://en.mextrememexico.com/menu/ I ordered: * Mextreme nachos ($219 MXN) We got nachos for the table. (We ordered this before we found out they bring out complimentary chips and salsa.) The crispy tortilla chips were layered with an assortment of traditional toppings like cheese, beans, guacamole, and jalapeños. Keep in mind that this order doesn't come with any meat protein. Flavorwise, the nachos were typical, but at least the portion was pretty big. * Tikin Xic fillet ($259 MXN) While scanning the menu, I noticed they actually offered Tikin Xic, and I had to try it since it's a pretty famous Yucatan dish [2]. The white fish filet is marinated with achiote and traditional regional spices before being roasted on the grill. It was served with soft bell peppers and tomatoes on top. Sides included a lightly salted mixture of broccoli, carrots, and Mexican squash along with a small mound of rice. I'm not sure if this restaurant prepares the Tikin Xic in the most authentic manner, but the fish was flaky and flavorful, and the vegetables added a nice, healthy feel to the meal. * Daiquiri, mango (forgot to write down the price) If you like sweet drinks, then you'll like the mango daiquiri. The drink wasn't strong, and I could barely taste the alcohol, but I enjoyed the mango flavor and the tajin rim. My friends mentioned their drinks were not strong either, so order a beer if you want something with guaranteed alcohol content. Overall, the food and drinks were good. Mextreme had pretty good prices for the Zona Hotelera. For a party of 4, the total pre-tip cost was $1777 MXN ( ~$91 USD), which was relatively affordable since we each ordered an entree, a water, and a drink and shared the nachos. The dishes would've definitely cost more in America (at least in California). 【Service】 The staff were friendly, especially when trying to persuade random passengers walking by to come into the restaurant. Our waiter was quick in taking our order. However, service went downhill after that since the food and drinks took forever to come out. We all ended up ordering drinks, and it was a bit of a weird experience since they played "Gangnam Style" by Psy while an employee came out and balanced the drinks on his head. I wouldn't say this incident was due to racism but maybe just ignorance since we're not even Korean. The slow service combined with that unusual experience did not leave a good impression. 【Tips】 Be careful of their scam. Since I was paying with my credit card, our waiter brought out a card reader. He automatically gave himself a 15% tip and had the audacity to say that tip wasn't included even though we could clearly see the receipt already had $266.55 MXN next to "Propina." Other Yelp reviews also mentioned the same thing happened to them, so be careful and double-check your receipt to make sure you don't tip twice. ---------- [1] https://www.theinfatuation.com/cancun/guides/best-restaurants-cancun-mexico [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikin_Xic

Chicken mole
Scott J.

Solid Mexican food. Great staff. Went here on vacation and sat on patio w my wife. The fresh chips went well w the spicy smoky dip and avocado dip. We ordered chicken mole and molcajete. The chicken mole was too chocolate forward for me as was blend of sweet and savory. could have been correct but not for my taste. The molcajete was a unique serving technique but then just grilled bits in it. We liked the chicken, onion, etc. overall an ok dish. Staff was playful and fun. Is a good bright place to eat if you are near.

Had dinner with friends. Not a lot of people but sure was alot of fun.!! Food was so good. Serves was great. Lots of laugh

Justin J.

Good vibes, food was great! Loud music with a singer. Definitely coming back. I highly recommend the skillet plate with everything

Cochinita pibil
Gregg C.

Food was excellent which made up for a few hiccups in service but ils all good! Fun atmosphere, friendly people, food is fantastic and well priced. Don't let the tourist vibe fool you the food is legit! Great cochinita pibil and waiter does an amazing stunt balancing multiple full marg glasses on his head and delivers them tableside. Manager extremely personable. Grab a big sombrero from the chair a Margarita from the bar and enjoy your vacation dinner here!

Sombrero Hour! All drinks are served on someone's head!

INCREDIBLE!!! Everything about this place was a 5/5! The servers, food, drinks, atmosphere were all amazing. They have a big menu, great drinks, engaging servers and ambiance and everyone is beyond friendly, helpful and welcoming. Would do anything to go back!

Food was amazing, vibe was fun and light. If I return to Mexico I will definitely surely return. Service was great, food was quick.

Andrew C.

Tourist trap? Kind of..... Great food? Absolutely. The BEST fried shrimp tacos I've ever had. Crisp and a bit sweet. Not overly greasy. Get the house habanero sauce on the side and you'll be glad you did. Great experience overall.

Table side guac...the new 2023 standard!
Heather E.

The epitome of touristy (along with every other restaurant in this area). Not the most authentic but they still try. Great space for large parties- the patio is HUGE. We came in a party of 5 after dinner for snacks and drinks. Music was loud (great music selection playing 90s & 2000s hits). If you're looking for a quiet sit down dinner- this is not for you. More like dinner before the night galavanting begins. If you order a margarita they'll provide entertainment for you by carrying it on their heads and making you dance for them when they arrive at your table. Who doesn't live a little entertainment right?! We only came in for a few snacks and drinks so I can't speak for the entrees. We got the table side guacamole, pastor tacos, chicken tacos & nachos. I was super excited about the table side guacamole but my suggestions is to skip. Le sigh. Absolutely no flavor. Fresh ingredients? Yes. No lime juice, seasoning, nada. Tomatoes, onions & cilantro can only get you so far... The chips were nothing special which made the nachos just meh. Nachos came out cold so that wasn't ideal. Pastor tacos had flavor but no wow factor. Also skip the chicken tacos. Margaritas were okay. We got mango & strawberry with a tajin rim. The syrup ratio to tequila just didn't do it for us. WAY too sweet. Le sigh again. We really wanted to love this place. We loved the ambiance and the aesthetics and would come back for a drink on the patio but that's it. Their menu is huge. Several pages. Kind of overwhelming honestly. But silver linings- hopefully there's something for everyone?!

Yash T.

TLDR: Fun ambience, good food, good drinks Tried Mextreme and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. They have a unique way of serving their Margheritas. The nachos were decently good and drinks could do with some more alcohol seems watered down

Outside
Sara S.

This place is full or colors, the staff is nice and the food comes out SO fast. It's a fun place to eat outdoors in, in the middle of all the action. I was happy they had a vegetarian aztec soup and some vegetarian options (quesadilla with poblano peppers). Negative: the music was SOOOOOOO loud and 95% of it was american songs... why?! This place is made for american tourists thats for sure.

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.

I saw so many videos and read so much hype about this place. I was excited to try it. I was just as disappointed when I threw out my burrito after a couple of bites. The food here is not good. It is so basic. I ordered chili cheese fries, and a burrito. For the burrito, you have to complete a form for your customizations, which I thought was going to be efficient. Unfortunately, despite my burrito, having everything in it that it was supposed to, I was overwhelmed by the massive amount of onions. Additionally, I was underwhelmed by the amount of shrimp inside my burrito. There weren't many at all and the entire burrito literally tasted like nothing. I ordered the shrimp and mahi. There was absolutely nothing remarkable about it. For a second, I almost wondered if I had Covid because the flavor was so lacking.But after speaking to friends of mine who also visited, I realized that I wasn't the only one. In total, I spent about US$32 on an order of chili cheese fries, a jerk, chicken, quesadilla, and a burrito. Fries: so bland. I wanted to throw them out, but I saved them and took them back to my hotel and added salt. It helped a bit, but these were overwhelmingly underseasoned and lacking flavor. The portion, however, was huge. Two out of five. Burrito: more mahi-mahi than shrimp, and neither protein was flavorful. The entire burrito was very bland and was full of more onions than I would ever care to eat. The burrito wasn't OK size, but it did not taste good. Two out of five. Jerk, chicken quesadilla: basic. Not super flavorful. And the chicken did not taste like jerk chicken at all. It didn't even have jerk flavor. Didn't even taste like they rolled the chicken in a little bit of jerk before cooking it. Three out of five. The staff noticed that I did not eat much of my food and asked if I didn't like it. I informed them that I did not like it and that I didn't think it had enough flavor. They did not care. I didn't fully expect them to because I know customer service is very different in Mexico, but I expected more. She even asked if the burrito was too spicy, which was hilarious because there was nothing spicy or even flavorful about it. This is very much a hole in the wall, kind of spot that has been blown up on social media. Very casual vibes, and there appears to be a small roof area where you can overlook the street. I would not return here. I also would not recommend it. Another example of influencers likely getting free food in exchange for review reviews. However, they do have a sign up that says you can get a free shot if you leave a review.

You will pass through a metal detector and asked if you are carrying in any food or drinks ( not allowed) EVENT SPACES: The groom had reserved two private cabanas overlooking a semi private pool just steps from the beach. There was ample shade provided by sturdy patio III umbrellas, private casitas, each seating 10 adults. ATMOSPHERE: Common areas are look tired in the day light. I'm sure that the flaws are masked by the pool lights once the sun sets. Our private party was at the far end of the club; a 10x14' pool flanked by patio furniture in one side and 5 private cabanas on the other. The cabanas were set up living room style with a sofa, coffee table and cabinets for personal belongings. The view from one of the casitas was oceanfront making a lovely backdrop for photos. The music was obnoxiously loud most of the time with pounding bass. Our crowd was celebrating the Grooms and they a great time. In our case, the grooms were running a tab- open bar and order from an extensive bar menu. FOOD: Well presented and the guests seemed to enjoy it. My allergies were an obstacle to most of the menu, but I enjoyed the fruit OUR SERVERS were amazing. Taking orders and finding the guests was like wrangling cats but somehow they did an amazing job. This please is really suited for a 25-40 year old crowd. You know: the clubbing set. Would I recommend it for an older group? No. Was the event successful? The grooms were pleased, so we were also.
