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!

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.

Kevin W.

This is a good place to grab some food. Came here for breakfast twice. The french toast is pretty good and comes with jelly. The mexican omellete is decent. I prefer the bowl with scrambled eggs and ham. Fresh juice here is pretty good.

It's a steakhouse so think of leather, wood, modern, sleek, dimly lit, out door action taking place, and docking available. It's fine dining at the beach and how sexy is Harry's? Very Sexy! Part of the Anderson group we learned that Cancuns best restaurants are part of a chain and glad we were able to try two of them, Harry's being one. Service - Top notch. You know it's fine dining with the service you're getting as soon as you walk in. Let's get into it! Complimentary Bread - Yes please, the best ever! Appetizer - Oyster Rockefeller- These oysters were the biggest I've had seen in life. I did like them but they were lukewarm, they also didn't have bacon which for me, I needed it. They were just too big not to have something extra. Good nonetheless. Burger - Of course I got a burger because I'm a kid at heart. I loved it and that bun omg! Fries were great. Short Rib Sandwich - Delicious he loved the Au jus that went with it. Dessert - Chocolate Cake - It was good but had a bitter chocolate flavor. We always get dessert and this was not our favorite. Complimentary Cotton Candy? And that is exactly why they are 5 stars. It's like a whole love story in here, they aren't perfect but they sure make up for it in ways that count!

Harry's has a wonderful setting directly on the water. You can access by car or by boat. They presented menus and all steaks come in 3 versions: Kobe, Waygu or USDA. I have to say crazy prices and I am accustomed to Miami. A waiter brings an actual display of the steaks to the table. The tomahawk has to be 3 feet tall. I cannot imagine anyone eating it! We all ordered USDA filets in the mid $80 range. I ordered mine medium. It was overcooked. No pink/red in the middle and very dry. I was a bit disappointed. We were never rushed. At the end, they brought a piece of cake for the birthday celebrant and a huge cotton candy for the table to enjoy. We each had individual bills. I assume because I was English speaking, they converted mine from pesos to US$'s. I always pay in pesos. The tip has been added and my bill was $139. Not sure how it went from $88 to $139. I did not drink any alcohol - only water. It was fine for a one time visit.

After a great lazy day of floating around the pool for our last day in Cancun, we almost decided to…read moreskip a nice dinner and just grab some (more) tacos from a casual spot nearby. But, after debating and reading some reviews, we decided to call (at 7pm) and see if La Buena Barra had any open tables for 7:30. Since Cancún dinner culture generally ramps up after 8, we were in luck and headed to the restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the host team and escorted promptly to a great table outside, overlooking the lagoon and the last bits of sunset in the sky. The ambience of La Buena Barra is amazing, great lighting, ceiling fans to keep a light breeze going, and music that is loud enough to prevent you from hearing conversations at other tables, but still allowed us to talk just fine. Our servers Jonathan and Estefany were the sweetest and most attentive that we experienced during our trip! Excellent food recommendations, even advising against getting a second dessert (due to their size) instead of just letting us spend more money there. Absolutely worthy of 5 star service! Ok- the food: very good, probably some of the more distinct flavors we enjoyed in Cancun. Also a very unique selection of cocktails, delivered in all sorts of unique glasses. BUT truly the best thing we ate was the corn ice cream! It's molded ice cream that looks exactly like an ear of white corn with a ribbon of dulce de leche in the center- honestly the best ice cream I've ever eaten at a restaurant! Prices per person can easily exceed $1000 pesos here depending on what you get, but it's possible to enjoy the experience on a budget. We shared an appetizer (empanadas, highly recommend), shared a large entree (ribeye tacos, comes with 7), a cocktail, side of corn, and dessert- ended up being around $1200 plus tip.

I think I like the ambience of the interior at this location better than the one in Mexico City. As…read morefor the terrace seating, you can't compare the waterfront view here.

We loved it so much, we ended up here twice in the same week. The service is outstanding here and you can tell they pride themselves on customer service. Before the meal, they do drop off bread with dipping sauces, garlic, and butter. The perfect appetizer. One reason I love this place is the salads. They are big enough for split for 2 and I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options. Personally, the cesar salad is my favorite. What I love about this salad, is they make the dressing right in front of you. Definitely a cool and unique experience. The first time, I ordered the tuna steak. It comes with a soy sauce and a garlic butter. These two sauces on the tuna makes for an incredible meal. I cannot say enough good things about this entree! The second night we went my boyfriend and I split the Cesar salad and the skirt steak. We also added on a side of mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The whole meal was delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite part because everything tasted so good. Splitting this was the perfect meal for two people and we even had a bit left over to snack on the next day. I always have a wonderful experience with even better food when I come here. If you happen to be in the area this is a must stop.

I started withe the Mango-Tamarind: Lettuce, Indian walnut, mango, blueberries, Cotija cheese, mango-habanero dressing and tamarind billet. Unique and tasty. "Swiss Chicken Enchiladas" for the main course was not what you get at a local Mexican joint -- Four tortillas stuffed with chicken, bathed in a creamy tomatillo sauce with melted cheese and a base of refried black beans. This was a 5-star dish! I couldn't resist ordering a side dish though I didn't need to because the enchiladas were really enough, so I indulged myself with fries: these were not your run of the mill French fries. Porfirio's Potatoes -- French fries with chipotle pepper aioli, parmesan cheese and parsley. Finally, if you like ice cream I highly recommend that you order BOTH offerings: 1) "ICE CREAM TASTING" - Strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream from Metate, marzipan ice cream and vanilla from Papantla. Served with grated coconut, chocolate grain, M&M's, Oreo cookies and ice cream cones; and, 2) "PORFIRIO'S MOLECULAR ICE CREAM" - served with cajeta Worcestershire sauce in an ice cream cone.

The mash is superb, they used margarine instead of butter and I absolutely love the contrast from the traditional mash. 9.8/10 Mexican Rice - Its pretty good. It does have a nice seafoodish finish. The pepper was actually spicy. Nice and pleasant rice dish. 8/10 Charred Avocado Salad - Grilled avocado is a bit of a wash. It did make it look good on the plate. The dressing is a little weak. Needs a little more zip, some citrus or vinegar would give this salad some justice. Its a little uninspired 7/10 Service is impeccable and attentive and the atmosphere is lovely.

This place was recommended by our butler at the hotel, and honestly, we should have just gone with our original choice instead of coming here. The restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing, but that's about where the positives end. The food is seriously underwhelming and absolutely not worth the price. I ordered the seafood spaghetti, and every single clam came out closed. The mussels were ridiculously small, there was barely any other seafood in the dish, and for the price they charge, it honestly feels like a complete rip-off. The show is entertaining, but the entertainment is better than the food, in my opinion. On top of that, the sodas we were served were flat and appeared to be expired, which is completely unacceptable. This has easily been the worst dining experience I've had since being here. The atmosphere may look nice, but that does not make up for poor-quality food, questionable drinks, and prices that do not match what you're actually getting.
