Mixed ceviche
Kleopatra G.

Delicious indoor/outdoor taco shop with lots of options. I had the mixed ceviche with octopus and chicken tacos. The tacos were good but the ceviche was my favorite. The portions are huge, none of my friends finished their food. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the chips.

Pollo, Pastor, y pescado

The tacos were amazing! I had one pork, one chicken, and one fish. I highly recommend those three. I also ordered guacamole and drinks and the price was so cheap. The waiter was nice and spoke perfect English.

Lots of options for added spice and flavor.

The service was great but the food was just ok. The nachos al pastor were not a repeat for me. The meat and guacamole were nice. The chips were so hard. Not crunchy hard like rock hard. The cheese helped to soften some of them up as did the runny beans but in the course of things left me without an appetite. The tacos al pastor were good but not as good as last night at Los Terascos across the street. All in all I think this is an ok spot but if you aren't starved keep searching for something one both above.

This place is amazing! You have to be open to going outside of the hotel zone if you want to visit here, but I promise it's worth it. We tried the tacos al pastor and wooooow they were so good! We love tacos and are use to the ones in SoCal but man, wish they made tacos like these back home.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. You have to come here if you're in Cancun. Best nachos I've ever had! We would stop by almost every night we were in Cancun just for their nachos. My favorite one is the pastor nacho. On the bottom they have tortilla chips, then they put a generous amount of meat, then melted cheese, and lastly some delicious guacamole. It's so flavorful and delicious I have no words for it. One serving is good enough for two (for meal) or 5 if it's just an appetizer. Tacos are good as well. However you can't order a single taco for bistec, chuleta, sirloin, arrachera, and pollo. You can only order them in five. Some of the waiters speak English and they are super friendly. So don't hesitate to ask questions!

Since the first day of landing in Cancun i saw this place outside our room from our hotel. We had to try this place out since I saw it on yelp and wanted to test it out myself. The service was slow but the food was mediocre. We order pastor fries and i ordered one shrimp taco and one fish taco. The fish taco was good but the shrimp wasnt. The shrimp taco had a bad smell to it and i couldnt even finish or eat it. Prices are steep but I would skip this place and get tacos else where thats more local and cheap. We were on a time frame and running late so I didnt have time to send the order back. The pastor loaded fries were ok meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful. However it had too much cheese sauce which shredded cheese would be better. The workers here are super nice and speaks english too.

Dined on 3/16/5015 After an evening of gambling at Palace Casino we decided to stop for a bite to eat almost right next door. After talking with a couple of locals who spoke English, we decided on the Pastor and Bistec tacos platters of five each. The cost 50 peso for the Pastor and 75 peso for the Bistec, also 2 bottles of Coke and we spent less than 140 peso ($10 US), for more food than the two of us could eat. Both types of tacos were loaded with mean and fixens (see photos of menu and food). A real bargain when you think two people could not get 10 real tacos and 2 sodas, chips and salsa in the US for $10 or less. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere / ambience of eating in an open court restaurant. When we come back to Cancun, we plan on stopping her again.

Tacos Al Pastor, just perfect
Oscar C.

Best local spot for tacos but can't forget about their tortas. This is a new spot for us that we'll make sure to come and visit each time we're in Cancun

The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. You have to try the pastor tacos when you come with each additional spice added.

The food was great! Very authentic with the addition of pineapple with al pastor tacos for a Taquería. Parking is not very good but don't let that stop you from experiencing these tasty tacos.

Pastor (pork) tacos

See all

I'd say the food here was pretty good. Definitely better than the fish place next door.

Better than any Mexican restaurants I've visited in the U.S. (Of course... How more authentic could it be?) Love the beef nachos.
