Came to this place for dinner after finding it on Instagram. I saw that they had some nice shots of good looking meat, as well as good reviews on Google, but no reviews here on Yelp.
Upon entrance we were greeted by a very friendly, kind and smiling woman who was going to be our waitress for the evening. She spoke a little English too, and helped us through the menu, and giving us good recommendations on what to order.
The ambience of the place is casual, volume of the music was very comfortable, and the staff nice and friendly. It was clean, and the tables were spacious for two persons, but might be a bit tight if you have a party of three or four.
The toilets were nice and clean too.
We went with the El Choncho for starter, together with the melted cheese and guacamole. Holy moly how good all of them were! The melted cheese comes with your choice of meat inside, and we chose picaña. They went excellent together, and I'd recommend trying it with some of the salsas they provide too. My taste buds were in heaven.
The El Choncho were super soft, with tender slices of meat inside and cheese. Another trip to taste-heaven.
For main course I had the Picaña steak done medium rare, and it was served together with mashed potatoes and a small salad. The meat was freakin PERFECT! Tender, tasty and with great flavor. By far among the best steaks I've ever ordered on a restaurant!
The sides were really good too. The salad was perfectly mixed with vinegar and balsamic, and had an excellent taste. The mashed potatoes were creamy, and with small chunks of potatoes inside. Really delicious!
The portions were quite descent, and with one or two starters together with a main course, you'll be decent full afterwards if you are an eater (like me).
The food was delivered quickly, and we hadn't even finished the last part of our starters before the main course came.
The prices for the different dishes are very, very friendly, considering the quality, taste and amount you get. There are so many places that charge a lot for good and tasty quality meat (especially the closer you get to the hotel zone), but this place charges almost too little.
All in all this was an amazing food experience! The place is cozy, the staff is friendly and service minded, the prices are low, and the food is DELICIOUS! This is an absolute must try if you are in Cancun. Highly recommended read more
