My husband and I stayed at Paradisus Cancun for our 4 year anniversary and although it was an…read moreall-inclusive resort, we could not resist trying their only restaurant that garnered 5 diamonds in Mexico (equivalent to Michelin guide in the States) even though it would be a separate cost. And let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it! After enjoying resort food and drinks for 5 days, our palettes were graced with an absolutely delicious take on Latin fine dining. From the food to the service, we thoroughly enjoyed each carefully prepared dish that was bursting with flavor and complexity. We indulged in the wine-pairing along with our 7 course meal, and left completely satisfied. Our server was very kind and provided excellent service throughout the night (please forgive my memory -- I forgot his name.) But overall, we are so glad that we tried Tempo and it was worth the extra charge, despite being surrounding by several other all-inclusive restaurants! If you have the means to try Tempo during your stay at Paradisus Cancun, I highly recommend coming here. You won't regret it!

Excellent! From the food to the serve, I couldn't have asked for more! As soon as you walk in you…read moreare greeted with a glass of delicious bubbly and seated near the piano while your table is prepared. We opted for the tasting menu experience, I had the vegetarian and my partner had the regular both with a total of 7 courses and about 4-5 complementary courses. The presentation was wonderful as were the flavor combinations for each dish. The portions are perfect and if you don't fill up on bread (like we did but it's so good!) you should leave more than satisfied. The standout to me was the truffled honey ice component of a savory dish, I was also a HUGE fan of the cheese platter which was perfectly paired with sweet accents to offset the sharpness of the cheeses. After the dessert course they also gave me to very nicely decorated pistachio macarons for my birthday! If you find yourself in Cancun definitely check out Tempo. A Michelin Star Tasting Menu for approximately $100, what is there to think about? Hope you get Daniel as your waiter he is the best!

Awesome!!! Great place, perfect service and amazing food!…read more Pet friendly Smoking area Great drinks

One of my new found dining spots in Cancun. Maybe off the beaten path for most visitors (in…read moredowntown Cancun) but definitely worth the trip. Service was the best ever (a little trouble communicating, but several of the wait staff worked with us) and the food so different but excellent and a must try is the "costra de la milpa" (cheese crust with fresh corn, bbq beef & crunchy tortilla strips) and/or their "Meat/potato/cheese Empanada"....outstanding !! And in addition to the excellent service & food....the atmosphere (especially if you sit in the back dining garden) was outstanding!! Thanks guys and look forward to dining with you on our next trip and will definitely bring a few of our friends!!

This is an excellent budget friendly Mexican restaurant with pretty tasty tacos, huge fun drinks,…read moreand 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.

Very simple and similar to a chain-restaurant back home. Food was very good. Had the chorizo and…read moreshrimp enchiladas and the were outstanding- just don't order them spicy unless you really like spice. In hindsight I would've ordered medium spice or medium/mild Burrito was great and so were the steak tacos. The restaurant is a bit confusing- because there is a smaller restaurant right on the water that was busy, but then they had a separate dining room that wasn't on the water but had the same food- and we didn't have a wait at all Call ahead for reservations

We waited at the mixology bar before heading here at 8 since they needed to get the table ready. They kindly made some tequila drink on the house to celebrate our friend's bachelorette. We tried the crab roll, smoked cheese, poblano tacos, and chicharon tostadas for the appetizer. I really liked the smoked cheese. For the entrees, the sizes are small so I would recommend ordering multiple ones and splitting them. The octopus was tasty but the lamb chops were a bit over cooked (we had asked for medium rare). The plantain enchiladas were a good vegetarian option. For dessert, definitely get the soufflé so you can have a show where they show you how high they can pour fiery liquid into another container. Our waiter was really nice and friendly.

Located in the marina with both indoor and patio seating, you'll have a nice view of the water and a breeze in the evenings. My party spent 4 hours dining here for dinner; splitting a few dishes and mostly just talking with each other, the staff, and vibing to the DJ's tunes. At times the music was a little loud and I could see this deterring families with young children from sitting outside. They also push the alcohol sale here hard. As with most restaurants, I'm sure this is a big money maker for them (nothing is cheap here) but we had a person in our party who does not drink alcohol and the push was a little too pushy, even after we asked that they stop asking. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and they brought a cupcake at the end of our meal. Unfortunately, it was frozen solid in the center. Every entree and appetizer selection was excellent. I highly recommend the quesabirria and garlic shrimp! We're from the California Bay Area and the pricing here was like going out at home. It's expensive and caters to the tourist, so beware. You can also hookah here!

We were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary and wanted a place that was fancy, non touristy and not bank breaking and zeroed down on this place. ++ The complimentary chips and salsa was delicious. I landed up getting another order of the chips ++ Cocktails. Not only were they delicious, but the showmanship was the coup de grace ++ The New York Aguachile was something else. The server cut the steak and seared it in front of us and applied all the sauces (more like vinegars), onions and guacamole ++ Try the rib eye gaoneras and the Cao Tacos. You definitely won't be disappointed We were so full, that we didn't have any space for dessert. I may have exaggerated on the 5+, but I think that's subjective and relative to competition. Among the multiple places in Cancun, this one definitely stands out.
