Got drinks at the restaurant in the bottom of this building. Wasn’t too busy, had a good vibe and view of corner. No shows were happening while we were in town.

I rarely give reviews, but I felt that this place deserved one.
I was greeted by a gentleman who was quite rude.. I asked for a table and got shrugged at and told to pick one… this didn’t bother me too much.
I then placed my order with the gentleman… when the order came it was double the quantity that I asked for and completely wrong… as my Spanish is quite bad, I accepted that something got lost in translation.

The worst part of the meal here was most certainly the food! The order that came was absolutely vile! Pork tacos.. the pork was tough… the tortilla was stale and falling to pieces.. two hours later and I still have the rancid taste of decay in my mouth from this (the meat was most certainly going off).

I waited 15 minutes for someone to bring the check and when they did it was almost $400 pesos for what should have been 3 gringas and a beer.

I feel completely ripped off and disgusted by the food.

I know that this is someone’s business and how they make their living as I am a business owner myself….which is why I was sceptical to leave a review… but if they treat everyone like this then there will be no customers left… so please for your own sakes take this on board and improve your service.

I am torn about this place. The soup and bbq quesadilla were very good and at a reasonable price. Total with a guacamole, not generous amount, was 175 pesos. I also ordered two margaritas without asking the price. At the end they charged me 150 pesos for each drink. They were good margaritas but i dis not ask for anything special so they were about twice the cost of what i expected. I would say tourists need to be very careful here and ask for all costs ahead of time.

Hands down some of the best food in Cancun. Fair pricing with fast and friendly service.

Great traditional food for reasonable price, but ripoff at the end. After we paid the bill, the waiter shall be bringing back the change ($70) but newer showed up. When asking about the money, they sent another waiter that asked, if we wanted to order something more. After explaining that we still need to get some money back, his English language abilities suddenly vanished. $70 are not big deal but this is not the way how one should earn his tip or run the business.
