Good authentic mexican cuisine with good ambience. Right in the heart of the hotel zone in cancun.

Great atmosphere, decent food and nice drink selection. Waiters carry drinks on their heads and live music at night. Nice sitting outside. Would recommend! read more

the nacho sauce was really good. Good location but the grill was so so..meat is kinda chewy...

This restaurant was close to our hotel and was so good, we ate here like 3 times. Prices r reasonable for being in the hotel sone and waiters are very nice and speak good english...they even made our guacamole dip from scratch in front of us read more

This is my fourth time to Mextreme! It's always an enjoyable experience. The food is wonderful, great atmosphere and the staff is amazing. Get the margaritas and table side guacamole!! Our waiter Victor was amazing and adorable! read more

Beats any other Mexican restaurants in 5 miles! Excellent food. Good service. No too attentive waitors that make you uncomfortable. Taco party is a must try!!!!! read more

If I could give this place a rating of negative five I would. They were super cheap about my drink which was a simple margarita I left they would not give me the proper amount of drink. I simply asked for less ice then they give me a drink that's 75% full. I'm like where's the rest of the drink. He comes back with a fully filled martini glass that's 60% of the size of the drink. After that I simply leave. So lame I will never eat there again so awful. read more

Really nice outdoor ambiance for dinner. Also offers live music right by your table. Food prices are slightly on the expensive end but is the best choice if you're looking to go clubbing afterwards. 2 minute walk away from Cocobongo. I recommend the grill for two or anything else that family style shared :) read more

Service was GREAT, music was GREAT, experience was fun and authentic.the food was excellent and drinks were affordable and good read more

Mextreme - Mexican Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Average food but great ambiance and service. Location and the atmosphere was great however I eat much better Mexican food in Texas....

Really pleased with our dinner tonight at Mextreme! I'm not a fan of tourist restaurants that serve up bleh food and thank goodness Mextreme wasn't one of them. Meal started with some thick chips and forgettable salsas. We ordered the taco party for 2 - it's a tray of 5 differently styled meats, including dark and white chicken with cilantro and spices, pulled pork, steak, and pork with pineapple, a cup of guacamole, and a tray of hot tortillas. Every meat was flavorful and tender...I was very impressed, esp after eating our resort food for the past 2 days: to taste really well executed meat was a real treat.The party also came with 2 bowls of bean stew which was pretty tasty as well. Our meal, which included 2 bottled waters, came out to 250 pesos before tip (~$17 for 2), which is actually a great deal at any restaurant and especially in a tourist area. There's a 15% discount when you check in and they have free wifi too. There's a mariachi band that plays at tables (you can politely decline if you'd rather not have the serenade and they quickly move on) as well as a photographer and many waitresses that carry columns of margaritas on their heads. Waitstaff are friendly and prompt. Would def return and recommend to friends to come! read more

Mextreme - Mexican Near Me - Cancún, ROO

See all

This place is Wonderful! The Gran Molcajete is bomb! Their specialty guacamole is a must! The Margaritas are also very good! Great customer service too! read more

This place is awesome. The waiters put on a show for you, if you order a drink they bring them out on their heads. They are all really good at balancing let me tell you! My husband and I shared the ribeye steak with shrimp, it was pretty amazing! And for dessert we had the tres leche, it was so delicious and moist. read more

Food was ok ... small portions bit pricey service was good but still was hungry after 50 usd bill

We went for lunch here so we could get out of that expensive hotel restaurant. The food is just ok but the prices are quite high for the quality of this place. There is outdoor seating but the patio faces are very busy street with a lot of buses, lots of exhaust. Service was good, we had the taco sampler but we did not like half of the different options in the sampler. The chicken and the steak were the best. I am Mexican born and raised so I I'm not judging as an American. read more

I'm a hole in the wall kinda diner and this is the definition of a tourist spot. With that said... I'd come back in a heart beat. The service was A1/top notch. Everything was about giving you the best experience possible. Down to giving us a free app, bringing our margaritas to us balanced on their heads, to giving us recommendations on how to hack the menu to get more bang for our buck. The food was on point too and reasonably priced. Try it at least once. Even if you're deterred by its touristy ambiance. Don't fight Cancun. read more

Friendly, festive & family vibes. Delicious & very fun, especially watching servers balancing several margarita glasses stacked on top of each other on their heads! :) Also different kinds of live music made our experience even more enjoyable. The taco party was like a party in my mouth! :D The Charros beans that came with the platter were very tasty. Highly recommend & will definitely go back! :) My tummy & my heart were full of love from my visit. Offers 10% discount coupon for Marinero's seafood restaurant next door which is also good. The seafood restaurant also gives same coupon for Mextreme. Just present the coupon before ordering. read more

Very slow and bad service. Don't recommend. After waiting an hour and a half for our food without the waiter ever checking on us, we ended up leaving. The manager Emanuel had the nerve to stop us on the way out to demand we pay 39 pesos for the bottled water we were served after wasting an hour and a half of our time. read more

At first, i didnt appreciate this restaurant as much. Then trying a handful of mexican restaurant around hotel zone, i would say i lile mextreme the best. read more

Reasonable food, but low taste. Staff was nice and attentive /hovered. Band nice touch, just not at 3 feet. Overall good place, just would not repeat until looked at other places. read more

Fun atmosphere for our kids. They did balloon animals for them and they did a quick show with singing and dancing. It was close to our hotel and the food was good. Enjoyed the sample platter where we could try all the meats for tacos. The wait staff was some of the best we had in Cancun (very friendly and seemed like they genuinely enjoyed their jobs) :) read more

The only reason this place gets even one star is because of the super nice front of house manager. She was the only one who seemed to care about our experience. Beyond that, our waitress was missing the entire evening, we waited over an hour for our food to come out cold and wrong, and the general manager thought a 10% discount was fair for our troubles. Nothing worse than wasting a night on vacation waiting to eat cold strip steak you didn't order. You'd be better off eating street tacos from locals who care about great service and are appreciative of your business. read more

The food here was good and the establishment was clean, but as (obvious) tourists, my family had an overall sketchy and frustrating experience. For starters, we were led straight to a dinky indoors area towards the back of the restaurant, past all the outdoor diners. Apparently people seated in this indoor area were actually considered to be in a different restaurant that was NOT Mextreme, but actually some wannabe Italian seafood place with the same staff yet different menus. We asked the man who seated us for the Mextreme menus as well, and had to sit through him trying to convince us to order from the fairly limited wannabe Italian menu. We insisted on the Mextreme menu, and he left to fetch one, but never returned. We finally got the menu from our waiter, who we immediately showed the referral card we had received from a tourist info booth (the man there said it would get us free drinks) and the 15% off our meal total as promised by a Yelp check in. Apparently the referral card was actually only for a free appetizer, but whatever, fine. The appetizer came before the waiter informed us that we could only use one of the special offers--of course we chose the 15% off and informed him accordingly--but we were fine with paying an extra hundred pesos for the mystery appetizer, which was small but decent. We each ordered a drink, some guac, a large shrimp cocktail, a seafood grill for two. Drinks took a while to come--the mojitos were good (albeit very sweet) but the Mai Tai was disgustingly watered down and tasted like nothing. The sauce for the chips that accompany most Mexican restaurant meals came only after a long while, and without the chips themselves... the chips ended up coming at the same time as our entree, and the guac (supposed to be an appetizer?) came after with the shrimp cocktail. The seafood itself was great, with an assortment of rice, pico, guac, potato, miscellaneous veggies, salmon, shrimp, scallop, mahi mahi, and clams/muscles--definitely more than enough for two, and very adequate for three. Guac was mediocre to disappointing, and I thought the shrimp cocktail was disgusting, though that may just be a personal preference. We cleared the food at a healthy and happy pace, and asked for the check afterwards, which was when the real trouble began. It took us HALF AN HOUR to get our first check, at least, and probably an addition ten minutes to get the CORRECT check. Three other tables in our area asked for their checks, paid, and left before we even saw our first one. At first, we thought the holdup was due to the 15% coupon, which our waiter had already seen and cleared with a supervisor. But when he waiter arrived with a confusing smattering of four or five checks, the total, scrawled on the back of a scrap of paper, was nothing near what I calculated it to be with the menu's prices. We first asked if he had calculated in the 15% off--he paused and said he hadn't, ran off with the checks, and brought back another supervisor, who said the 15% was valid. Again. Our waiter promptly tore off to get the credit card scanner (which they bring to the table and swipe in front of you, that was nice), and I had to lunge for him and call after him to even get a hold of the itemized breakdown for longer than 10 seconds. I asked how much he charged for the not-complimentary appetizer, and he quickly pointed to some random item on the composite check and then said "it's free, it's free" before trying to whip away the checks again. One, inconsistent with what he said earlier, but great, not-complimentary appetizer is now complimentary, great. Two, it wasn't even our check, which I pointed out to the waiter who was obviously in a hurry to rip us off. I understand the perils of dining in a tourist-heavy area while obviously being a tourist but COME. ON. That is just some seriously shady business. Our waiter gave us a pretty insincere "oh." And ran to get it fixed once more. It came back to a total of more than 200 pesos less, including what he claimed was a 15% service charge. At this point, it was approximately the correct price, and we had spent more than half our time at the restaurant either waiting or wrestling with our check, so we just paid it and left. What a headache and good riddance. My advice to tourists is to either avoid this place altogether or be prepared to keep a close eye on things and stand your ground if it comes to it. read more

Food was good, but the service was terrible. It literally took 30 minutes before we were even served water. We had to ask twice. And another 45 minutes before food was served. When the bill came, which took another 20 minutes, the server decided to tip himself 15% automatically which was ridiculous. If you want to waste your time, go right ahead here. read more

Server wasn't too friendly and the food was just okay given the price range. Better places elsewhere.

Rather pricey and not worth $$ for the drinks. Musicians were annoying and the busses passing by made the napkins fall. Plus, both my son and I got bitten by some bug. Weird, huh. At the end, they have a 15% coupon for neighbouring place which had only 1 table occupied. Will not be going again!!! read more

This restaurant has amazing authentic Mexican food! I got the chicken burrito. They make the guacamole right in front of you. The waiters bring your drinks on their head. The waiters are entertaining and play jokes. The ambiance is very fun-Mexican. It's located in the center of the action in downtown Cancun. We bought a flask of tequila with our picture on it as a souvenir. Prices are kind of gringo expensive. But it's still really worth the experience. As for water, since I mention it in every review, you have to buy bottled agua purificada. I would definitely come back on my next trip to Cancun, no mames guey! read more

The place looked very promising and a lot of fun, yet one hour later and we don't even have our appetizer and the waiters are more concerned with dancing and entertaining than actually serving food. Very bad service not sure what the food tastes like. If you are hungry go somewhere else. read more

This restaurant was recommended by the time share we stayed in and it does have a fun vibe. However the food was sub par. My husband ordered mocajeta and it was dry, no sauce at all. It came with grilled chicken, a onion, a pepper and a slice of cactus and corn tortillas. I ordered the house chicken enchiladas and was very disappointed. Tasted like canned green sauce. Would not recommend the food to anyone. read more

Loved the food! It's delicious, authentic, combined with the experience. The staff are very helpful and were very thoughtful about our dietary restrictions. read more

This place is amazing. The prices are low and the food is great. I went for breakfast I reccomend getting a fresh juice, so amazing. Everything was good. read more

A great experience. Hostess was very nice and helpful when we asked how their beans are prepared because we don't eat pork products. She kindly asked if we were vegetarians and then pointed out the many vegetarian dishes they had. Everything on the menu looked very appetizing so we sat to eat. It was dinner time and were surprised by the various small shows they had which included audience participation. The table side service with guacamole making, drink making and dessert flambe were very enjoyable. The meals we had were awesome. Being in a tourist area, there is a photographer there that takes your picture and offers it to sell it with frame and all but is optional. We go to Cancun every year and will make it a point to come here from know on. read more

Food, Service, Drinks, Atmosphere -- All great and FUN. It was just what our family needed to start off our 1st night in Cancun on the right foot. We started off with the tableside guacamole & chips, and they made the Shrimp Diablo for us even though it wasn't listed on the menu. The waiters carried giant margaritas stacked on their heads. The Mariachis came and serenaded our table. The waiter brought out a game to play with our son that involved electricity. Our daughter participated in a dance on their "stage." We had drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts for 4 for less than a 100.00. Our teenagers even asked if we could eat there again before we left Cancun if we had time. That's a win in my book! read more

Got a table right away but couldn't get service frim a waiter - it was not busy so not sure what the problem was

definitely place to come. great service! it is a bar/restaurant has its own culture. just order thirsty banana when you come.

We came here before leaving Mexico. It was afternoon and it was not busy. Service was a little slow and the waitress did not seem to understand English well. The food was good but not the best I've had. read more

Amazing guacamole freshly made at the table! Tasty food and great drinks! Try the margaritas!
