"This decades-old venue ranks as one of the best in Cancún for authentic tacos al pastor : marinated, spit-roasted pork in corn tortillas, topped with pineapple (ask for it con todo to get chopped onion and cilantro, or order a gringa for pastor-meat with cheese on a flour tortilla). Smack downtown on the Avenida Yaxchilán bar-and-restaurant strip, this eatery delights visitors with its colorful Mexican tiles and strolling mariachis; yet the food is so good that half the customers are locals. For drinks, try the special margarita with your choice of tequilas."
This was my favorite place to eat in of all of Cancun. Don’t listen to the other reviews. This place is awesome especially if you like Moles! The buffet is awesome 👏🏽 i’m still thinking about the food today. That’s how good it was. we took a bus and then we had to take a taxi, but it was well worth it, if you are a foodie.

The place might be full of tourists and I understand why everyone raves about it. It is honestly the best restaurant in Cancun’s Downtown. The meat platter we had was the best meat I’ve had in ages, everything was cooked to perfection. The portions are huge so I would recommend you don’t overorder.
Service and atmosphere is relaxed and fun too. The waiter who is very talented and friendly served every customer’s drinks on top of his head and is always smily and friendly.

Place is definitely a tourist trap and the prices reflect that, but still was a good experience! Food was super tasty, they brought out chips and guac to start which was very nice then I had steak and onions which was accompanied with tortillas, rice and I'm not sure what kind of pastry or something it was but it had a sauce inside. The fish tacos were incredibly good also. There was a mariachi band going table to table offering to play a song at 150pesos which is reasonable for all the members. The service was good our server and the other staff that brought food etc were nice too. Definitely prefer the locals spot but as a one off it was nice

This spot has an awesome vibe! The decor and music make you feel like you’re right in the heart of Mexico, which is a really cool experience. It’s got that fun, lively atmosphere that’s perfect for a night out with friends.
However, the food and service were pretty average. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really wowed us either.
Recommended for the atmosphere and the experience, but don’t set your expectations too high for the food or service.

Nice place overall! This was our first restaurant while in Cancun, and it had pretty good food, good service, nice atmosphere, but a little pricey.
The Azteca soup was so delicious and rich. Highly recommended!! Both of our dishes were decent, although both lacking a little seasoning and both were a bit pricey. I think this was more of a touristy place.
But overall, a decent experience, but not our favorite restaurant in Cancun.

We walked in on a random Sunday afternoon. We wanted to get out outside of our resort and was recommended to stop here to eat by our Uber driver. It had a very fun atmosphere and they are currently had a buffet going which we did not partake in. However, we did most certainly go and peek at what there was and how we’ve been hungrier most definitely would indulge in the buffet option.
We did get chips and salsa upon arrival at no charge, which was a nice touch.
I got a Michelada and he ordered a light Dos Equis . I also got the queso fundido, with no extras or meat. That was divine! It came with hot tortillas Charro beans guacamole with onions on top. Needless to say I was very full, so I only ended up getting one pasta or taco.
Be advised the pastor taco of which I only wanted one, does not come with Charro beans or onions.
My partner got steak fajitas and it was a massive portion. It was also Delicioso. We were stuffed by the end. We would most certainly recommend.
The only downside naturally was the language barrier, but we got through it all right and hopefully the waiters did too.
We paid a little over US$60 in total including tip. Which amounted to about 1250 Mexican pesos.
