It's all true. Great food, fun environment, kind waiters and good prices for Cancun. The papá rellena con cubilete, tacos and quedó fundido are all recommended.

Orden al Pastor!
Ahmad O.

We were staying at the Club Regina resort and decided to see what we could find on Uber Eats. As soon as we spotted Tacos Rigo, I knew we'd found something special. It was delicious, affordable and arrived in about 40 minutes. I got the al pastor and WOW, it was incredibly flavorful. The nopales, onions and refried beans were a perfect complement to the meat and their salsas are the truth. They're full of flavor and some have enough spice to put hair on your chest! This is an amazing option if you're tired of the resort food and want something GOOD. We'll definitely be ordering from here again before our trip is over.

Street tacos
Amanda N.

Wow... fire. I stayed in an all inclusive but I was on the hunt for some fire tacos. This is in the hotel zone too and walkable from all the shops and party places. I recommend the street tacos. I wanted more, but needed to save my tummy for dinner. Of course, I had to get a Michelada. They have seating indoors and outdoors and a separate wash area for your hands. Staff are friendly too and food came out fast. Highly recommend!

Tacos de pastor
Daisy P.

AMAZING TACOS!!! As a Mexican I have not been impressed with the food around here and this absolutely hit the spot ! Great customer service and not to mention great horchata 10/10

Papas al Horno
Marcelo M.

Great spot for a filling meal in the Hotel Zone! Good meat options and well-priced for the location so you can order a good amount of food. A lot of us ordered the tacos, and we found the Mixed Taquizas platter to be great for 3-4 people. I also really enjoyed the Papas al Horno, large enough portion to share for sure. Cute outdoor seating lots of room for a big group too.

Menu

Close to the downtown night life. Very easy to get to sits in the middle of a plaza. Food 4/5 Vibe 5/5 Customer service 5/5 Price 5/5 less than $2 a taco Local transportation-R-1 and R-2 bus goes right past. Get off near Aloft

Al pastor pizza
Thione T.

Y'all please get the tripe tacos. Probably the best tripe tacos I've ever had!!! Al pastor was solid and I loved how some pieces were crunchy. The suadaro taco I could live without. We also ordered the Al pastor pizza which was delicious but if I could go back in time I'd make that a tripe pizza. The cheese they used for the pizza was extremely tasty and creamy. Overall would come again to try other stuff on the menu.

Burrito
Cassie M.

We went here for my last night in Cancun, it was alright but nothing special in my opinion. I tried the pastor burrito & it was fine, but honestly lacked flavor. The price was okay but not great either. All their seating was cheap plastic chairs, but at least they had outdoor seating. Service was fine too, but overall the place was mediocre. We were warned too, to always pay in pesos here or they may add their own surcharge without telling you.

Shrimp tacos
Danelle H.

Might've been the best tacos I had while I was in Cancun. A little further down the strip past all the clubs but an awesome hidden gem! Margaritas are A1! The menu is pretty large and everything sounded sooooo good, but I'm sooo glad I went with the tacos! The shrimp tacos were crazy fresh and flavorful. Definitely check this spot out! Top 5 taco spot in Cancun for sure! Try my order: 1 order of shrimp tacos (4) and 2 fish tacos with extra pico

Outside

Stopped by for a quick bite and this was a perfect spot. The open outdoor seating was so peaceful, I loved the outdoor lights along the trees. The restaurant has an open kitchen which can be seen from just about every table, the cooks are definitely working hard and quickly. The soft Mexican music was just right and not too loud. We ordered a few chicken and steak tacos which were juicy and flavorful with fresh onions and cilantro. The tortillas were perfect, not too thick nor too thin. Ordered a quesadilla to go definitely hit the spot. Jimmy provided great service and all the other waiters also seemed nice as I observed. Small mints, hand sanitizer and toothpicks were provided

My wife and I are celebrating our 28th anniversary in Cancun Mexico and we were told about this place by our concierge at the hotel and I tell you this is the best original authentic taco that I have had in such a long time and this is the place to go to in downtown Cancun! We actually got on the bus from our hotel and it took about 20 minutes because of traffic but it only cost $1 each to get down here but definitely well worth it and the price was on point!

Decided to come here because it's expensive to eat on the resort we're at. We were sat down…read moreimmediately and they promptly took our order. The menu is simple with just enough options to where everyone can find something they like. I had the skirt steak tacos and my friend got fish tacos, We also ordered a frozen margarita and mojito that were huge!!!!! The prices were fair for what you get and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. The music is not too loud so you can have a conversation with your group. They are not pushy to get you in and out like other places. Will definitely be back

This is a smaller place in a plaza, so blink and you'll miss it. I started with a margarita as…read moreusual. It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.

This was a bit of a walk from the Marriott Properties and Secrets which are across the street from…read moreFred's and Crab House but you will save 30 minutes each way by walking--the traffic is horrendous! All-in-all it was worth the inconvenience. Very eclectic menu, warm atmosphere and outstanding service. 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. (I know it sounds disgusting right? Nope it worked. The chef is just showing off with this dish)

Dinner in the cancun strip…read more We decided to pick Porfirio's for the evening from all of the restaurants outside of the all inclusive resorts. I took some notes and this is what I thought of the dishes. Xoajacan Imoladas - The mole is perfection. The flautas, superb. Everything in this plate is a symphony of what I would expect from Xoajaca. 9.5/10 Barbacoa Bonemarrow - Barcacoa is on point. The Marrow is Sublime. Together with the accompaniments is superb. I dream of Marrow everyday. This is a 10/10 Yellow fin Tosatadas - Superb!!! One of the best tostadas I have ever had. The microgreens, the sauce and the square Tostada works well all together. 8.8/10 Salmon - Cooked perfectly. The corn is a great accompaniment. The fish is impeccably seasoned. This dish is heaven sent with a 9.8/10 Grilled Octopus - Grilled perfectly, I can tell by the texture. 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.
