Very refreshing meal. You can tell the ingredients are fresh with little to no additives. But if you need a little extra sweetness or depth they provide honey, sugar, or a mirad of homemade sauces. The Thai bowl was perfect, added grilled salmon which added some saltiness to the wraps.

Açaí bowl Forrest fruit

This was one of my favorite places in Cancun. We came for the acai bowls and you can top it with your choice of 4 seeds and 4 fruit (so 8 things in total). There's also your choice of honey, agave, and one other sweetener you can pour on top. Overall I loved it and the sizes were huge. Like the bigger bowl of a jamba juice bowl haha Acai Bowl Passion: definitely the sweeter of the two. Got this with chia seeds, granola, coconut shreds, almonds, raspberries, strawberries, mangos and blackberries Acai Bowl Forest Fruit: granola, coconut shreds, almonds, sunflower seeds, mangos, peaches and bananas There was only one person who spoke English, but between my broken Spanish and his broken English we made it work haha. Total with 15% tip came out to be a little over $15 USD. I used my chase sapphire reserve card so there weren't any transaction fees.

Gold drink (turmeric, almond milk, cinnamon)

Really like this place! The presentation is nice, and the food tastes great! Been a few times and never been disappointed! Service is attentive and lots of vegan options.

Cute little place. I am so glad we found it. The food we ordered was excellent. It has been hard to find really good food in Cancun but this place did not disappoint. My mom ordered the chilaquiles con salsa Morita and the salsa was good and the tortilla chips used were nice and crunchy. My husband order the matcha bowl and it was delicious, the right amount of everything and the right portions. I ordered the mexican bowl and that was great as well, very filling. I only wish I had more roomm to try more. One more point for coffee lovers. In general when my husband and I travel in Mexico it is hard to find good strong coffee. He is a coffee drinker so most coffees taste watered down and weak to him but this place got his approval. The coffee was strong and bold.

Catered lunches like this from The Bowl Bar are healthy and keep the crew happy

The most delicious, most beautiful, most healthy and magical place. If you are a person who loves food this is for you, the Chef is a master craftsman and so sweet and wonderful and works the front of house for his own creation. If your vegan or not this place is for everyone. He was able to put together and 30 person catered lunch in 2 hours for a dental office on a whim!!! I am so beyond impressed with his style and branding and overall story. It's a fairytale in real life. Mucho Gracias and many mahalos - hope to see you in Hawai'i soon! - Temple de la Alma Minister Rhianna Mercier-Portilla

Omelette de la marquesa and smoothie

This place felt like a hidden gem in Cancun. It is away from the zona hotelera so prices are great and very low! The food was delicious, fresh and very unique. They put a lot of thought into the details of presentation while delivering great flavors. Our smoothies were incredible as well.

Stopped in this little spot for breakfast before heading to the beach, and what a treat! Nice little patio welcomes customers into a small space with an open air kitchen. The server was fast friendly as we ordered coffee and leche con café to start. Coffee was strong and flavorful, and leche con café was creamy and tasty. I ordered the Omelette de Madre Patria that was filled with slices of red pepper, potatoes, and a Mexican cheese that was savory and flavorful. The egg of the omelette was so tasty that if I had ordered it by itself, I would've had no complaints. The dish was served with mashed beans and a small salad. My partner had the chilaquiles with salsa verde and chicken that was also delicious, and the sauce was so good that he had to scoop up the rest with a spoon. And did I mention how fresh the ingredients were?! Fresh fruit juice was being made, and you could see how the other ingredients were whole before being cooked. This place comes highly recommended for breakfast, and we might have to come back for lunch.

PLASTIC IN MY AÇAÍ BOWL We try to come here every time we visit Cancun, which is quite often. We usually have no complains, and recommend it to family and friends; even if it takes them 20 minutes to take our order and another 20 for the food to make it to the table. However, this was our last time here: not only my açaí bowl was full of chunks of ice so I had to wait for it to defrost, there was a piece of plastic bag blended into the bowl. I explained thi to the waiter and manager, and asked to take it away. They apologized and took the bowl - there could be more pieces of plastic there. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, or leave a bad review. HOWEVER, they didn't remove the açaí bowl from the check. It was their mistake to serve food with plastic, and I am supposed to pay for it???? What kind of place and customer service is it? STAY AWAY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR PLASTIC IN YOUR FOOD!

Açaí bowl
Amanda Q.

This place was amazing! Highly recommend. We stumbled up it because it was close to our Air BNB. I had the chilaquiles with morita sauce and an açaí bowl because I couldn't decide. Açaí bowl was most amazing I've had! Chilaquiles were delicious also. My friend also loved her smoothie. Our server (who I unfortunately didn't catch his name) was so kind and helped us call a taxi on his own phone when we were asking for advice on how to find a reliable taxi service. He even walked us to the taxi and opened the doors for us. Service unmatched! We will be back before we leave Cancun.

Wow this place sets the golden standard for a great breakfast. My girlfriend, brother, his girlfriend and I wanted to find something special and oh man did we find it. It's located in downtown Cancun it was really easy to find. We took the local bus from the hotel zone to down town and it only set us back 12 pesos. After you get off the bus it's only a 5 minute walk. I ordered the huevos rancheros, they were the best huevos rancheros I have ever had. Great service, great healthy fresh options and a very rememberable experience. Highly recommend.

My partner and I walked into this lovely little place hoping to get at least one vegan option. We soon realized that we had landed in the vegan Mecca of breakfast! From soy chorizo to pilled high acai berry bowls, The Bowl Bar scored highest on flavor, quality, and kindness. The staff were accommodating in every way and quick to show us their vegetarian and vegan favorites. Their lunch looked amazing too! We will go back several more times before leaving back to the US.

Pedacito del Cielo - A tiny piece of heaven! If you love healthy delicious organic food, this is the place for you! It was so good me and my friends ate breakfast here everyday. The Molletes Tecolotes is the perfect Mexican dish if you want something authentic and vegetarian. The bowls are great! Fresh juice and smoothies are nice and refreshing! Definitely bookmarking this place for return! Also there was no after effects! (Some food place make you sick but not this place). I wish I could take his place with me to Florida. The peanut butter avena bowl is delicious!

Amazing vegan foods. We ordered the nacho for appetizer,…read morethe sauce was so delicious and great way to start out the meal. For main course, we got 6 different things plus a pizza to go, probably way too much foods for 4 people but the leftover was much appreciated even though we stayed at an all inclusive resort. Our least two fav was the pizza Margarita and the tamale. Pizza didn't have pizza sauce and wasn't crunchy, tamale was a little tough. Most favorite was the dessert. It was to die for. So presentable and delicious. Not too sweet which I loved. The main courses which hit the spot were: gringa al pastor, tacos al pastor, super queka, sopes, and enmoladas.

Last Vegan stop in Cancun! We were not disappointed…read more Wonderfully greeted with friendly services. Immaculate and a fresh spot; love the vibe, decor, & resources to checkout. Not only is it a great dine-in experience, but Vegan Planet also has some great items for take-out. I do regret not trying their kombucha. Delicious, fresh, and affordable food! We had: -Raw cheese, half and half flavor, chipotle and original. (appetizer) -Alfredo Pasta -Queka (I had to google what this was) The Queka was a truly authentic, fresh, and inspired Aztec flavors! Naomi was our waiter; she was very accommodating and pleasant throughout the whole experience. We all had terrific conversations! Fire, A++, two thumbs up, 100%, 5 stars! =] COVID NOTES ***CANCUN & area was phenomenally incredible as for Covid.

After a great lazy day of floating around the pool for our last day in Cancun, we almost decided to…read moreskip a nice dinner and just grab some (more) tacos from a casual spot nearby. But, after debating and reading some reviews, we decided to call (at 7pm) and see if La Buena Barra had any open tables for 7:30. Since Cancún dinner culture generally ramps up after 8, we were in luck and headed to the restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the host team and escorted promptly to a great table outside, overlooking the lagoon and the last bits of sunset in the sky. The ambience of La Buena Barra is amazing, great lighting, ceiling fans to keep a light breeze going, and music that is loud enough to prevent you from hearing conversations at other tables, but still allowed us to talk just fine. Our servers Jonathan and Estefany were the sweetest and most attentive that we experienced during our trip! Excellent food recommendations, even advising against getting a second dessert (due to their size) instead of just letting us spend more money there. Absolutely worthy of 5 star service! Ok- the food: very good, probably some of the more distinct flavors we enjoyed in Cancun. Also a very unique selection of cocktails, delivered in all sorts of unique glasses. BUT truly the best thing we ate was the corn ice cream! It's molded ice cream that looks exactly like an ear of white corn with a ribbon of dulce de leche in the center- honestly the best ice cream I've ever eaten at a restaurant! Prices per person can easily exceed $1000 pesos here depending on what you get, but it's possible to enjoy the experience on a budget. We shared an appetizer (empanadas, highly recommend), shared a large entree (ribeye tacos, comes with 7), a cocktail, side of corn, and dessert- ended up being around $1200 plus tip.

I think I like the ambience of the interior at this location better than the one in Mexico City. As…read morefor the terrace seating, you can't compare the waterfront view here. The octopus is probably the best I've had. The waygu ribeye taco is up there with the best I've had. The service is friendly and attentive. Probably one of the best - if not the best - dining option along Blvd. Kukulcan.

Navíos was nothing short of amazing!…read more My big baby and I went on our first (of many) vacation to Cancun. While there we picked three nice restaurants to try and Navíos was one of them. Ambiance is gorgeous. On the bay, this gorgeous restaurant is sexy and giving out door classy if that makes sense. Customer service was outstanding and the servers were super friendly. My big baby doesn't speak a lick of Spanish and they spoke English which was great. For all you non Spanish speaking people, have no fear they speak English too. Loved the Alligator sign as it did make the visit exciting, I really wanted to see one come near us but no luck as those visitors are night time party animals. Let's get into it! We are in Mexico where chips and salsa are complimentary! They were so good and the salsas were delicious. Who needs a real app when you have these! Shrimp Alfredo - It was good! Fish of the day - (native to the waters from there) He loved it! Dessert- We passed! Being on the bay there are tons of mosquitoes. We had to make a fast break to our hotel. Although the food was good we would likely never choose a restaurant with outdoor seating as this proved to be a bit of a challenge. They did have "Off" which helped. The only thing I like biting me while on a lovely vacay is my lover! No bueno to the mosquitoes. Side note: No stars off! The place is gorgeous and food was great!

This has to be one of the biggest bargains in the hotel zone. Service was superb! I would say the majority of those attending the brunch were not guests in the hotel. There was literally something for everyone. You could have omelets, pancakes, waffles or crepes. They had carved prime rib. They had a taco and quesadilla station. There was an area for vegetarians. There was a pastries area. There was a dessert table. And bottomless Chandon mimosas were included! Roll me out of there! I very much enjoyed the prime rib, which they were happy to cook a little more, if you didn't want raw. It was excellent! I saved room for the flan at the end! It's my favorite dessert in Mexico.
