"This iconic downtown restaurant was on historic Avenida Nader years before the neighborhood became hip. The focus here is on Italian dishes with creative twists, like the Van Gogh pizza topped with grilled shrimp and goat cheese, or the artisanal ravioli stuffed with lobster, along with a selection of wine and cocktails from its outdoor bar. But the gorgeous outdoor setting of El Tigre y El Toro is what really attracts local insiders. The menu’s Mediterranean flavors blend with a Caribbean ambience amid lush greenery, candlelight, and lanterns that hang from swaying palm trees."

Wow, wow, wow. Best night of our trip so far! Absolutely delicious food and drink. We got two appetizers & two pizzas. Really great food. The service was spectacular. They were attentive & quick. Absolutely recommend.

This Italian restaurant is a hidden gem! It is dimly lit, which makes the atmosphere cozy, even though it's mostly outdoors. The food was delicious and the staff members were professional. I had the vegan margarita pizza and vegan empanada. There was one small problem. We had a few servers help us throughout our dinner. There was one waitress who took my order for the vegan empanada, but I was brought a vegetarian one. I didn't notice it until I tasted dairy cheese and extra ingredients that weren't listed in the vegan one. My friend, who is not vegan, confirmed this for me by tasting it herself. They apologized and brought me a vegan empanada; definitely tasted different. I was okay with how the situation was handled. I'm vegan by choice for ethical/moral reasons. I had thought, what if I was lactose-intolerant or allergic to dairy? Mistakes happen, especially with language barriers. Other than that, my friend and I loved our experience here. Would definitely recommend it!

I highly recommend coming here. Upon entering you’re greeted by friendly staff and a tropical backdrop with shaded seating and well fanned as well. Service is quick and very friendly, English spoken so no need to worry if your Spanish is limited. There are lots of plants which give it a nice fresh and tropical feel, it’s pet friendly as well. The food is delicious and very good portion sizes. 10/10 for amazing service

We came here for dinner last year when in Cancun for vacation. The two pizzas, drinks and shrimp pasta were all very good. We liked the place so much we came here again this year. Loved the Mediterranean Pizza, vegetarian pizza and the tiramisu. the mojito and margarita are also very good. The staff was very friendly and offered to take a picture of us together.

This is a nice place to get pizza to go or sit in their cute garden. We had Pizza Italiana and salad 3 Reyes. The pizza is crunchy and thinner than the most places in Cancun. Which I prefer. The salad was good too. A bit to salty for me but this is due to my low-salt diet. The service was nice and friendly. Dogs are allowed.

Ambiance is worth 5 stars. Food, well as one review below calls it “Mexican Italian”. Lobster ravioli is decent. Pizza is very thin crust with a good helping of cheese on top. Overall food is average, but the drinks are priced well and outdoor courtyard is great.

El Tigre y El Toro is a great option price/quality. The place is well located in la Avenida Nader in downtown Cancun close to hostels and close to bus stations that can take you to the hotel zone and back. The place serves pastas and pizzas, the best one for me is the Maremonte, which has shrimps and something else I dont remember.

Such a cozy space!!! Perfect for a romantic date but also great for family get-togethers and other casual meals. The outdoor space has an ambiance even with the low lighting, and there are fans everywhere to help keep customers cool. We went at night for some pizza. By the way, they serve bread before the meal and it is honestly the softest and most addicting bread I have ever eaten (seriously we tried to get the waiter to get us 3 of the plates). The bread is served with butter, some spicy lime sauce, and some sort of chili (?). I ordered the prosciutto arugula pizza and my date ordered the salami pizza. They were both so good. Maybe the crust could've been softer but it was a very minor detail to me. Totally recommended.

Beautiful open air courtyard with gravel and trendy lighting. The pizza is topped with interesting combinations and the crust is very thin crispy. The Vagabunda was very fresh and the Buenos Aries was a meat lovers dream. Decent prices on wine - date night approved

The mood was set: nighttime, outdoors under the stars, and the perfect simple playlist of in-love songs. The walls and tables were adorned with plants and candles. The waiters were perfectly attentive, not crowding and not ignoring us. The food was delectable: the raspberry monitor was great, the salad was scrumptious with goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes, the pizza was perfection on a thin crust with hams, olives, and more goat cheese. The price was unbelievable: I'd pay double and say the same thing. Thank you!!!

Loved the look of this place upon arrival. We choose the place due to the name, my buddy is a Leo and it is his birthday weekend and I am a Taurus, we thought it was some sort of sign... Well the menu is composed of apps, salads, pasta and pizza... We chose a caprese salad to start, then my buddy got the Pink Past with Shrimp and I opted for the Van Gogh Pizza. The food was incredibly fresh and had great flavors. I forgot to mention the bread they serve you too, it is amazing. We also got dessert, banana crepes and tiramisu. The tiramisu was tasty but the showstopper was the crepes, just delicious. Out the door we spent 900 pesos with tip, what a deal.

We visited on a recommendation of our concierge. Loved it. Ambiance was fantastic! A great find! The only thing keeping from 5 stars was a limited menu for pasta....but of you're looking for some great brick oven pizzas this is the place! Will definitely be back.

Great atmosphere, good pizzas, but lousy service. The waiters were not attentive at all and where busy with other things all the time.

The food and service was good! I enjoyed the pizza with pears and arugula. The setting was intimate with soft lights and fresh air. This restaurant is run with pride and care. I felt welcomed and I can't wait to go back!
