Shrimp Ceviche
Irene S.

Super fun stop while on Isla Mujeres. Shrimp ceviche, shrimp tacos, & jerk chicken skewers were all delicious. Service was friendly. Drinks were huge and good (Frozen Mojito). It's cash only & not the best exchange rate (17 pesos= 1 USD). They usually have live music, but didn't today. Would definitely stop here again.

The variety of food and drinks here makes this a crowd pleaser. However, they are a cash only establishment so come prepared. Drinks are good hit a little slow to be served. The onion rings were crazy good and we liked the live band.

Pepperoni pizza

This place was a lot of fun, but I recommend going when it's light out to avoid the mosquitos! The bugs ate us alive!! The staff tried to help by providing bug spray and burning some cardboard to quell the bugs, but it didn't make much of a difference. The restaurant is situated in the trees and it's beautiful but not for those with sweet blood! We started with an order of plantains. They were underwhelming - not much flavor. Kids loved the smoothies and pepperoni pizza. Mexican burger, burrito and tacos were tasty. The bill was considerably more expensive than other places around - but the location to our house and generous portions made up for it. Just don't forget your big spray!!

Best drinks in Isla Mujeres

My husband and I both loved this spot. Super chill and a great atmosphere. The drinks are fantastic, especially their Frozen mojito which they are known for. This is a definitely a spot to stop by have some drinks listen to some music from the live band and see the beautiful blue ocean. I did not eat there but the nachos looked good from the table next to us. The staff were also cool. We would definitely recommend this spot and we will definitely be back next time we visit Cancun! Oh I almost forgot, BRING CASH! This is a CASH ONLY SPOT.

Drink menu. Try the frozen Mojito.

You must stop by here for a frozen Mojito. Fresh mint in everyone. This is a local favorite and a great spot to stop by for a cocktail or two. You will always find interesting people at the bar. They always have live music. Incredible cover bands.

Fish tacos
Daniel Z.

Drove a golf cart around the island and stopped about 1/2 way through at fbis place. The beer was cold, the service was good and the fish tacos were outstanding-some of the best I've ever had.

We had a blast, bought a shirt. Alberto was great, tipped him well. LOVE the LIVE music. The band was really good.Fries were ok, shrimp that were grilled with the avocado salad was great, but the dressing was...... We did enjoy the tacos. LOVE the atmosphere, sunset was great I WOULD RECOMMEND

pizza
Kris S.

We ate here twice while we were on the island. This is a must go to when we visit. They often have live music. the pizza was wonderful. I tried the satay chicken tacos and they were very good. service is good. Venture down to that end of the island.

Came here due to the live music always playing when we go by. The bar is very cool and always live music and/or music playing. Definitely come here for the drinks and atmosphere. The food on the other hand sucks. Typical bar food. Chicken wings are nothing special, Cesar salad sucked and the nachos are just blah. The jerk chicken tacos are far from traditional jerk chicken. Just adding jerk spice doesn't cut it. Come for the Bar not the food!!! Now the smoothies are excellent. Cold and fresh made. Parking is on the street and they have a perking lot across the street as well. This is a good drinking bar to hang out and listen to music. If we didn't have food it would probably be 4 stars but the food was not worth the money. The Joint is cash only and they are 16mx to 1us. The exchange rate right now is 1us to 20.28mx. This is definitely a tourist place.

Cool sign

I am on the fence about the 4 stars. I wanted to go with 3 but honestly the vibe was strong and good here. I did enjoy it. I just didn't love the food. Service was good and it's worth going just for the experience for sure. I'd probably eat somewhere else and just go mid day to listen to the music and vibe out.

Alli C.

Fun bar with great live music. It can be hard to get a table, so note that you need to put your name in right away. Plenty of parking. Strong drinks.

The joint special Mojitos.

We ate at Mango Cafe several times for breakfast during our stay, and it quickly became a favorite!…read moreEvery visit came with a warm welcome and plenty of smiles from the staff. Nestor was the waiter, greeter, and all-around "make sure you're taken care of" guy. Fatema and Betty were wonderful servers--friendly, accommodating, and fun to chat with. And a big thank-you to Fege in the kitchen for the amazing food! The atmosphere is charming, with cute decorations and open-air seating. The fans kept us plenty comfortable during our October visits. Now, the food! The steak chilaquiles were the best I've ever had, and my husband said the same about his breakfast quesadilla. The famous coconut French toast absolutely lived up to the hype. Definitely worth ordering! But those potatoes... perfectly seasoned, topped with cheese, and mixed with a little corn. Sooo good! I'm still dreaming about them. Yes, we ordered them again. Of course we did. Prices were fair, and the generous portions made sharing easy. We're at that stage of life where we eat a little less and share a little more--but apparently, I'm still very protective of my potatoes! Wonderful people, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Mango Cafe is absolutely worth a visit--and then another!

We were on a day trip to Isla Mujeres from our resort in Cancun when we were looking for a place to…read moreeat on the less touristy side of Isla Mujeres. We drove our golf cart through the area where Maria's is, and because of the reviews we saw, my friends and I decided to give this place a try for lunch. Right off the bat, the best part of eating/coming here is the view. The area is secluded and you need to go down a small path to get to it. Once you make it down the little path, you'll see a beautiful little outdoor dining area that overlooks a pool and the beautiful ocean. The food was probably a 2/5 but the view was very nice and the service was good too, so that brought the score up to 3/5. My friends and I were looking for good, authentic Mexican food, which unfortunately Maria's is not. While we were sitting down, the waiter brought us free chips and salsa which were good. For my lunch, I ordered 3 shrimp tacos which were not cheap (at all) and came with like 3 TINY shrimps per taco. The photos they have in their menu are very deceiving and inaccurate. The flavor was ok but it was so plain and so stingy on the shrimp. I was really surprised (in a bad way) with this meal. My friend tried the chicken tacos which were better than the shrimp, but still nothing special at all. The shrimp ceviche was also extremely lacking shrimp. Unfortunately I feel like the food we ate at Maria's was the same as the Mexican food I would eat at an average Mexican restaurant in my hometown in the Midwest USA. All in all, since the best thing here is the view and the service, maybe it would be better to stop by for a drink rather than a meal.

My husband and I came for a late breakfast and WOW. BEST breakfast experience yet. Very "homey"…read morefeel, polite and good English. The food was really fantastic! Hands down the best tomatillo sauce I've ever had. I ordered the Divorciados and not only was it a big plate but fresh and so delicious! My husband ordered the Huevos Motulenos (didnt get photo) and was very happy & impressed which is difficult to do lol! Coffee was great, friendly...highly reccomend you give this local place a try for breakfast! **UPDATE** We came back to try dinner a day later and it was wonderful! My husband had the whole fried fish and it was delicious! I chose the shrimp fajitas which came with grilled onions & peppers. We both had rice and small salad. All fresh tasting, cooked well, and no overkill by unnecessary spices. We also ordered the fresh pico de gallo and that was fantastic!!! The folks are so kind, the whole experience is great!
