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!!

I took my girlfriend here for a fancy date night on our last night in Cancun. The ambiance was…read morenice, and the place definitely looks and feels upscale. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill quickly. The service was flashy but slow, and we followed the waiter's recommendations for both an appetizer and our entrees. He told my girlfriend her entrée didn't come with a side, so we ordered one. After several cocktails, her entrée arrived--but mine never did. I sat there watching her eat while I waited. When I asked the waiter where my meal was, he simply said, "it is not working." I then asked a manager for help, but he disappeared and never returned. The bill came with no apology, no explanation, no discount, and nothing complimentary. It was an awkward and uncomfortable way to end what was supposed to be a special evening. Mistakes happen, but what really bothered me was that there was no effort to acknowledge the problem or make it right. I do not recommend. Llevé a mi novia aquí para una cena elegante en nuestra última noche en Cancún. El ambiente era agradable y el lugar se siente bastante exclusivo. Sin embargo, la experiencia se arruinó rápidamente. El servicio fue llamativo, pero lento, y seguimos las recomendaciones del mesero tanto para el aperitivo como para los platos fuertes. Además, le dijo a mi novia que su platillo no venía con guarnición, así que pedimos una aparte. Después de varios cócteles, llegó el plato fuerte de ella, pero el mío nunca llegó. Me quedé sentado viéndola comer mientras yo esperaba. Cuando le pregunté al mesero dónde estaba mi comida, solo respondió: "no está funcionando". Luego pedí ayuda a un gerente, pero desapareció y nunca regresó. Finalmente llegó la cuenta sin disculpas, sin explicación, sin descuento y sin ningún detalle de cortesía. Fue una forma muy incómoda y desagradable de terminar lo que se suponía que sería una noche especial. Entiendo que los errores pasan, pero lo peor fue que no hicieron ningún esfuerzo por reconocer el problema ni solucionarlo. No lo recomiendo.

Awesome restaurant serving yummy Venezuelan food. Clearly this spot is a labor of love for the…read moreowners and people working here. The waitress was great, very fluent in English since she lived in NC for a while. Everything we ate and drank from the delicious fresh juices to the different items on their menu was great. The only nit is that the food took a super long time to come out.

Must try: Cachapa Chévere!…read more Why: Delicious breakfast, which I tried the Cachapa for the first time! It came with black beans, plantains, cheese, avocado, and I added an egg. The corn battered pancake-like shell was soft sweetness. The Cachapa was much larger than I thought so it was filling! I was happy and my tummy was full to kick off the morning right. Notes: Cute place a few blocks from main 5th Avenue. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Clean and spacious. The server was awesome! Super welcoming and helpful. I was practicing my Spanish while he was practicing English. It was fun and engaging. The other workers were friendly too checking in if I needed anything. They provided 4 shot sized juices to start and my fav was passion fruit. Had a great time and a great breakfast! Definitely saving this place for a future visit!

If you're looking for a party vibe while having dinner, this is the spot. From passing out…read moresparklers to everyone to the fire dancers it was all very entertaining. Make sure to make a reservation in advance, especially for Thursday through the weekend. We visited at 8:30 and we felt like it was the perfect time because a lot of the performances began around nine. The service is top-notch. From putting the napkin in your lap to arranging a miniature coat rack to hang your jacket, they pay attention to detail. Not to mention, though the atmosphere takes priority here, the food was also very good. We ordered a steak and the shrimp risotto. The shrimp were colossal. I have never seen shrimp so big. Most of their specialty cocktails are quite acidic and that night I was craving whiskey so I ordered an old-fashioned and it was also very good. I would say this spot in particular is well known for big groups and bachelorette dinners. It is quite loud, so keep that in mind. It's also in line with other nice restaurants in Tulum regarding price, but we felt it was worth it. Lastly, make a note that they charge for water so you're not surprised when you get the bill.

This was a full-on experience night and easily one of the highlights of the trip. From the moment…read morewe walked in, the place had energy, music, lights, and a crowd clearly there to celebrate something. It never felt stiff or overly formal, just lively and fun the entire evening. The food was excellent across the board, but the standout was the tomahawk steak presentation. When it arrived, sparklers, drums, and all eyes on the table, it honestly felt like some kind of ceremonial animal sacrifice in the most entertaining way possible. Over the top? Absolutely. Memorable? Even more so. Great atmosphere, great service, and legitimately great food to back it up. We laughed, ate way too much, and left buzzing from the whole experience. A true 5-star night in Tulum.

For my entrée, I had the skirt steak, and it was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sweet potato with honey and cinnamon was absolutely delicious. My only real complaint is the portion sizes on a couple of items. The salad was very small, and I would have loved a more generous serving. I also ordered an amaretto sour. It was a little weak at first, so I asked for more amaretto, which made it better, but it still wasn't quite as strong as I prefer. The service was phenomenal. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed myself. I would definitely return.

*** They accept credit card !!!!…read more This is the boyfriend of the Yelp account owner but I had to write a review at how dope this place truly is. My girlfriend takes food very seriously so it's hard to find good spots and this place really impressed her. We came back two days in a row to try different plates and they all slapped. (Chile Rellenos, quesadillas, salsa wheel, tacos, ceviche). The drinks were amazing as well. (Pina Colada, margarita - they have happy hour 4pm- 6pm) All of the above would be enough in itself but the staff was really friendly and accommodating without doing too much. I.e They don't come across as fake. Anyways, if you are looking for a spot to try in Playa Del Carmen, eat here at least once and see what's up.

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!

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!

Really more like 4.5 stars…read more Holy CAO - this place serves delicious food with inventive and entertaining cocktails, and vibes to keep you grooving in your seats as you eat. 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!

If I could give a place a 5+, this would probably be it. Right from the ambiance, to the…read morepresentation and showmanship and finally the flavors, everything was on point and above. 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.
