We were in Cancun, MX and stayed at an all inclusive resort called Live Aqua, great resort,…read morerecommended. Came to Hidden Garden for one of our dinner for a special birthday celebration of my friend. The food was great and the ambiance was great. The service from our server was great. It was such a nice special touch for the chef to come out and ask how everything was, and the server brought out a birthday dessert for my friend. 5 stars on all of that. So why 2-stars then? The hostess of this place that evening was rude and out of place. We were all dressed VERY NICE in all black, however, one of the guy in our group's outfit was sleeveless. He was wearing a very nice leather sleeveless vest. Mind you, it wasn't a tank top, it wasn't swim wear, it wasn't athletic wear. It was an expensive leather vest, very fashionable. Nicer than all of the old men wearing shorts and Hawaiian shirts or basic polo shirts. The hostess didn't allow him in until he changed to something that had sleeves. Friend changed and was allowed in. Once inside, he put the vest back on for photos since everyone in our group coordinated to be wearing black fashionably. On our way out of the restaurant, the hostess had the nerve to stop us and say something about it. Lesson here is, do better. We understand that there's dresscode, but know what should be acceptable or not. If it was a tank top, swim wear, or athletic wear, we'd definitely understand. But it was not, it was upscale and fashionable, just without the sleeve. Plus, women are allowed to be sleeveless but not men? What year do you live in? Train your hostess better.

Our first night at Live Aqua we dined at Hidden Garden, after seeing a lot of great reviews from…read more other guests. We were overall really disappointed. The appetizers were pretty good, but our main dishes were really very bad. I got the pad Thai and it was one of the worst pad Thais I have ever had. The ambiance of the restaurant was great, wish the food matched. We did want to go back and give some other dishes a try, but just ran out of time.

I must have missed the boat on this one. I was expecting the "best tacos on the island" and left…read moreunderwhelmed. Very limited menu and the tacos I had weren't that great and hardly any filling over rice in each. The chicharonne in green sauce was mostly sauce. The ground beef tacos were soupy with lots of potatoes. On a high note the view is incredible. The restaurant is attached to the Tiny Gecko bar. We weren't sure if we were in the right spot until we saw the menu that read "El Torito". My beat advice is try it for yourself. The prices are decent. PROS: Ocean view Different style tacos CONS: Skimpy tacos with rice filler

Lets get to the food shall we. Falso Ravioli de Atún - Really nice thick slices of Tuna. The over all appearance is super nice. Sauce goes with it nicely. 9.2/10 Lengua de Res - The tongue is done well. Its superbly seasoned. I enjoyed this dish very much. 8.3/10 Mejilla de Tenera - Super Nice and tender. It pretty much melts in your mouth. Yuca chips give it a nice crunch. The sweet potato puree works perfectly together. 9/10 Sopa de Jamaica - Pistachio ice cream is great. The Jamaica reduction is a perfect sauce for it. 9.2/10 If you ever make it to the Live Aqua Resort in Cancun, do give this spot a proper go at it and let me know what you think.
