Came here for a dinner and got the Tampicarne and churros. Tasty meal, although a little more expensive than what I was expecting. Nice location in the mall area with good ambiance. Service was good.
This is an excellent budget friendly Mexican restaurant with pretty tasty tacos, huge fun drinks, and quick service for very reasonable prices. This restaurant has 3 different dining area - on the water, an outdoor cantina/bar area, and an air conditioned indoor restaurant. The menu is extensive but my favorite is the 8 taco sampler. It gives you pork, chicken, sirloin, and the original. The margaritas are huge with varying flavors. Lunch and drinks was about $40, including tip. And we had a lot of food. It's not fancy dining. It is classic Mexican tacos in a great location with fun vibes.
We came here after enjoying the mall, on our last full day in Cancun. We contemplated going to the Brazilian steakhouse but we ended up here and it was very good. I got a virgin peach margarita and it was very good. I'd prefer salt instead of tajin on the rim but tajin seemed to be the standard everywhere. Husband got a coffee margarita he said it was very good. The staff was very friendly and our food came out quick! It was tasty.
The food is great. I could eat their Cazuela Campechana everyday. If you're a big fan of cheese don't miss out. I've come twice in this trip so far and been served by Daniel both times. Service was great. He was fun and explained a lot of the food we ordered. The location is great right on the water and it's an open air casual bar feel. Everyone I came with was also happy with the drinks. We've been to several spots where they've felt watered down but not here. I will probably be back just about everyday while I'm here
In a very touristy shopping area. Probably one of the better stops you can have. Lots of tequila(margaritas) and mezcal drinks. Food was ok.
Pretty descent food for Mexican tourist food. Of course don't expect authentic Mexican food and Mexican prices. Very nice view and service
We were tired and thirsty by walking for couple of hours at the mall. When we went to this restaurant they immediately greeted us and took us to our table. The restaurant is my the water so had nice view. They were playing 90s pop music and I personally loved the atmosphere! Their service was excellent and very prompt. We ordered a mocktail which was super refreshing! All our items arrived in less than 20 minutes and each item was delicious. Definitely recommend this place
We visited the shopping mall La Isla and found this restaurant near the water. It was right next to La Parilla where we ate two years ago. The vibe is very friendly and laid back. But laid back does not mean inattentive service. We seated ourselves by the water and immediately a waiter appeared. The drink menu is large but he guided us through the mezcals, which the wife ultimately settled upon while I a traditional lime-based margarita. I had a grande which in retrospect is not the right choice because it is very large and by the time you get to the end the ice has melted and the flavor is watered down. Note for next time. You get free chips and salsas to start. There were three different colors of tortilla chips and they were not greasy at all. The salsas go from mango, which is sweet, to red which is spicy but not incendiary, to Serrano which is incendiary. The wife loved the red while the kid and I liked the mango. The Serrano was too hot for us. The menu is huge so it took a while for us to digest it all (no pun intended). We started with shrimp ceviche and it was good but not the best I have had. The shrimp were a bit tough and there were no jalapeños in the pico. It was still good but not outstanding. For entrees, the kid had chicken tenders and they were outstanding. The batter was light and not greasy. The chicken was tender and moist. The fries were crispy. She ate almost everything. The wife had some kind of shrimp dish with garlic sauce and it was exceptionally good. The flavors were intense but not too spicy. She loved it. The shrimp were fresh and did not taste fishy. I had Burria tacos with beef which I never had before. By this point I was already full so I could not eat the 8 quarters. There was a great broth for dipping. The beef seemed like it was brisket or oxtail, it was not ground beef. I really liked the tacos and although I have nothing to compare them to, they seemed really well done. We had churros for dessert and they were very different than what we get in Dallas. These were thinner and denser. You get two dipping sauces, caramel and chocolate. We finished them off and said we would not eat the next day as we waddled out of the restaurant. Our servers were friendly and helpful. Food came out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. We had a beautiful view of the sunset and many people were on the pier taking pictures. Overall, it was a really fun experience with great food and service. Next time in Cancun we are returning for sure.
Review for Tacos y Tequila, La Isla Cancun Grabbed a quick late bite at Tacos y Tequila in La Isla Cancun. A great experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The menu offered a variety of dishes from different regions of Mexico. The tacos were bursting with flavor, each bite delicious. The tortillas, were made fresh right in front of your eyes, and you could truly taste the difference. They were soft, warm, and the perfect vessel for mouth watering fillings. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The restaurant sits right on the water with great views of the lagoon. While it was after dark on this visit, we've seen fantastic sunsets from here. Likewise no tequila on this night, but previous visits found the tequila as good as the tacos. Highly recommended!
My goodness the food and drinks here were fantastic and location is hard to beat. We sat right on the water and had a beautiful meal watching the sunset. Our waiter was great and the prices were fantastic too. Food was awesome best fajitas and refried beans I've ever had! We wanted to keep coming back but had to try other places too. They are located right in the lagoon in the Isla shopping mall. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available!
Tried 8 taco sampler and had the watermelon margarita and michelada. Ambiance is great and friendly service
Nice location as you enter the mall. Chips and guacamole upsell is perfect to accompany street tacos and margaritas. 5 star service / 4 star meal and margaritas, at a reasonable price.
Ok..... I am totally in love with this place. The service was great. The drinks were amazing. And the food was outstanding. I had Pastor Tacos. OMG..... they were so good. The flavor of the Pastor was so good. I am hooked and will definitely return when I am in Cancun. The bonus was that my non taco loving husband loved his sirloin tacos. He really did. So all in all it was a win win for us.
This location is at Plaza La Isla. They have an air conditioned place and an open air place around the corner looking at the water. We chose the location looking at the water. It was really cool and relaxing. We came here for lunch and got margaritas and tacos, yum! Service was good and everyone was nice! read more
Be ready to wait to be seated! Although this place had 4 empty tables, we had to wait on a waitlist and were told to come back after 40min. After coming back, there were more empty tables and it was clear that the waiters were very busy and understaffed. We ordered and our food came pretty fast. You'll have to order that octopus dish with the beef/fried onions tacos. It was a good ending to our Mexico trip. read more

Friendly staff, but that's pretty much where it ends. The chips were stale and the salsas weren't very good. My watermelon margarita was tasty, but very expensive. I would not return unless I just really needed to get out of the heat. read more

Good for a nice view and seating along the water. Restaurant is fully outdoors. Prices are high for what you get. Food was okay, nothing special. Service was okay. They charged us for cheese on our tacos when I did not ask for that and picked it off and upgraded my husbands drink to a large when he did not ask for that. read more

Good morning, Vickie,…
On our last day we wanted authentic tasting Mexican food. We asked around and checked reviews. We walked to the back of La Isla plaza. There were many places to choose from. Most had views of the lagoon. Relaxing with a breeze. Great way to end a day. For starter we ate CAZUELA KÉEX with sirloin and empanadas. For dinner I had skirt steak fajitas and my husband ate CAMARONES ICH-AJU. All the plates were delicious. Our dinner plates were good size portions that we could not finish. I had a watermelon Margarita. It was fresh squeezed watermelon. My husband had the pineapple and Peppermint one. He said it was delicious as well. Our server Brenda was very attentive. Service was quick. She took the time to explain the meals and the drinks. She came often to check if we needed anything. We were so full we took the churros to go. read more

When I say the best food ever the best food. The whole meal was authentic and the service was exquisite. I loved how the owner would come and check on us from time to time. The drinks were also amazing. Don't walk but run and eat there. Did I mention being there before the sun sets because the view is amazing? read more

Once again, another great restaurant we found in Cancun. The food look good on the pictures from Europe and let me tell you what they absolutely delivered. Food: we got a mix of tacos. If you can see from the picture and let me tell you what every single one of the tacos were top-notch an absolutely amazing. Being from Houston Texas, I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to Tacos and let me tell you what these people understand how to make a great taco. Literally, every single taco was amazing. We had an assortment of fajitas, steak, pork, fish, shrimp, you name it, and they were all absolutely amazing. The white cheese they use is absolutely the best. The service is really good as well. Everyone here is very friendly. The homemade chips and salsa are top notch. The view overlooking the ocean is absolutely amazing. This is a must try. If you've never been here. I will go back again the next time I'm in Cancun. read more

Just got off the plane and we were starving. JC was our awesome waiter. We chose the sampler taco plate, guacamole and super size spicy mango margarita and watermelon margarita. It was love at first bite. Lovely lagoon view to decompress from a flight and an hour long immigration line lol that margarita definitely helped! read more

Great tacos! I can't blame the insane heat on them, but thank god for the fan they had pointing at us. We had 8 tacos, 2 each of al pastor, carne asada, shrimp and fish. They came with cheese on top and were all really great. They also had a plate of chips with 3 different kinds of salsa that were all good. Waiters were all super cool too, considering how hot it was. Oh, and the margaritas are huge.... read more

I know, this is a tourist spot, but we really enjoy this spot! We've visited Taco y Tequila a few rules and we are never disappointed. The food has always been excellent, but the thing we like the most is the friendly and attentive service. We've tried their tacos samplers, (my FAVORITE) Chicken Pastor Fajitas & their fresh catch. It is touristy, but the food and fresh tortillas are simply one our favorites. It is worth running the gauntlet of timeshare and tour hawkers to get to! read more
