If you are looking for traditional Mexican food don’t let the name fool you. It’s more an Italian restaurant with a Spanish flare. It looks like an old, authentic Italian restaurant (old). Outside it looks like a Spanish villa with some ancient statues and murals, it definitely needs some TLC. It’s a review so we give our opinion based on others experiences. The food is good but not great. The portions are just enough for you to eat and leave still feeling hungry even though you had appetizer, main and dessert. Chocolate cake a 3, Passion fruit mousse/tart 3, coconut cream good 4. Service its a 5, excellent!!!!!!! They are very attentive, amicable, knowledgeable. Don’t think that you are in Mexico and food it’s cheap. You pay as much you would pay if you would go to an US Italian restaurant. Prices are a bit to high for my opinion. The neighborhood is sketchy. We didn’t feel like walking around the Square/stores/food tents (but I still want to). Three people, 3 appetizers, 3 fajitas, 3 desserts, 1 beer, soda, lemonade $145 with 20% gratuity.

Great food! Super great ambiance with natural flowers and nice furniture. It's even very romantic! The wait staff is also super nice, they even remembered one of my friends i was dining with who hadn't been there in years! The food is also quite yummy and very fast service. They also have giant menus that make it easy to see. Nothing bad to report honestly, only been there once though.

Surprised by the 4+ google rating. Had a dinner with friend here and come here because of the website promotion. Overall, the experience was fine but we are not satisfying with the “unexpected tipping Magic show” and when we paid the bill the server didn’t let me put the tip amount but simply asking “20% is fine?”. I understood people always wanted to charge more but this is not professional. During the dinner, no one filled up the water for us, but the server come twice and check how is everything going. Even at Manhattan this quality of service doesn’t deserve 20%, I would say 15% for all respect would be maximum. Food: Food is not extremely special and the “famous coconut” pretty much like the curry chicken in Thai restaurant I have been in North America. Appetizers are okay and the Grouper’s taste is too sweet. Drinks: A bottle of water on the bill charged us $90 peso, and it’s not sparking neither Evian, just like the $99 cents one in New York Walmart. We also had two lemonade. Price: Overall, this dinner cost us 2500 pesos, which is more than the fine dinning we had at Ritz Carlton last night, I am the person okay with the price, you can charge whatever you can, but just delivering the same quality of food and service. Environment: it’s nice to see the lights and decorations but there are many mosquitos around us.

The most delicious, authentic local food. This restaurant has been around for a long time and is amazing. It is hidden but well worth going into and eating. Service and food is amazing! We have a friend who is a local that took us to this restaurant. Go here. You will not be disappointed. It is a must if you are in the area!

For Cancun this was a 5 star place. The ambiance was so amazing and due to a language barrier the service was a little off but you should not worry about that. Get their signature green bean soup, skip the beef choices, and get the banana tableside flambe for dessert. Definitely will visit again.

Found this place on review sites as one of the longest standing restaurants. Good margaritas, very big portions for starters and good quality food, traditional French. Nice cozy and intimate setting. The only comment is that the English menu we had appears to have been missing some items that other table was eating - the pepper stuffed with sausage meat dish which we saw on review sites that we may have wanted to try. Perhaps it is worth to ensure all items are on the menu.

Had lunch at this beautiful restaurant today. We tried the grouper, soft shell crab and some sangria and other drinks and passion fruit mousse. Everything was really delectable. The presentation was lovely, the service was 5 stars and I love the music and the ambiance of the atmosphere.

We’ve been to this restaurant since the mid to late 90’s and again has not disappointed. My wife and I came to celebrate my 60th birthday and had a nice time and great dinner. Our server Muse was very attentive and friendly as was the host/maitre d’ (did not get his name) was fantastic and helpful, we never feel rushed when we come here, it’s quite and you can talk. They have an outdoor garden area or dine inside. The restaurant is downtown and away from the hotel zone(15-25 min)and tourists, taxi best way to get to and from. If you’re looking to get away from resort food we recommend. We come here as one of our favorite restaurants.

Heard many good things about it and wanted to give it a try. Service was ok. I ordered a Mexican traditional appetizer (based in the server said), and the chef’s recommendation of the day. Overall is ok but have to say it was disappointed. The appetizer was melted cheese on crepes; the fish, flavor was interesting, but it was burned on one side. And I thought it was the Mexican way of this dish. The waiter was surprised and told me he was going to ask the chef but no answer after. Maybe it was the wrong dish I ordered but not as good as thought it would be.

Went here as per recommendation of a local colleague for my birthday. We were seated in the garden area, which is very cute in the evening with the string lights and Mayan decor. A very romantic place for dinner. Just to note: bring mosquito spray if sitting outside! Staff was professional and very courteous, and always attentive to our needs (group of 7 on a peak day). Food was very delicious, I had the Cocobichuela - which is a lobster dish in a carved our coconut. Very special dish and highly recommend! Definitely will try to make another visit next time I am in Cancun.

Amazing place …. Shows off authentic Mexican cuisine done with a twist and also classic dishes done with fresh ingredients that are very flavourful. From the decor to the service and the food . Everything was an an excellent experience. Best restaurant Cancun . There was good music and they had a magician and a photographer that entertained . Good way to enjoy the atmosphere and support authentic experiences. Beautiful garden that shaded you and also beautiful indoor tables .

They have a magician who entertains you while you wait hence, the x on hand. Ordered beef ranch steak, beef frajitas, mango daiquiri and a mango mojito. The atmosphere is peaceful and comfortable. We didn't have any reservation but was tended just as well.

I came here for some chicken Fajitas. Its a nice upscale restaurant. June 21 2023. -I first entered the lobby, a very nice lobby with fish tank and air conditioning and a small gift shop, and they have a greeters booth but there was no greeter. After waiting 2-3 min i went in the second door that lead to the bar and restaurant and was met by a server who seated me. -The menu was on a big display board that they brought to your table. I had already looked online and decided what i wanted. I took a picture of the menu. -I ordered the chicken Fajitas with a coca cola. It was very good, it came with soft tortia shells, chicken and vegies grilled, avocado paste, cooked beans paste, rice, spicy salsa mix. They are all seperate and its make your own fajitas. It was all very good, i unfortunatly forgot about the spicy salsa mix as it was on its own plate and missed it for most of my fagitas, but it was very good. I did not get a picture of the meal, it was so good looking i started eating and forgot the picture. -Also added was a Garlic bread loaf with butter (picture below). I was good too. -Service was very good, the main server/order taker spoke english and was very attentive and polite. And the younger bus boy that delivered the food was very fast and polite, and even when the wooden stand for the food was broken and wouldnt stand up, he kept the whole tray of food in the air as he and the other server looked for a replacement stand from outside (the outdoor courtyard seating). -The restaurant itself is very nice, fine dinning, clean. Indoor air conditioned seating or outdoor courtyard seating. My table had some interesting artwork facing me. Cost is more expensive then others, but its a fine dinning restaurant. I would return here for another meal.

I really appreciated the effort they put into making great food here. The chef attends your table and is extremely friendly. However, I don't believe they make seafood to my taste. I still highly recommend this place but I wish they'd not over work lobster or shrimp. Expect them to be a little slow servicing tables.

Great place with an interesting decoration, service is spetacular, waiters were very attentive to our need and did an awesome job. Food was awesome, we ended up getting a few different dishes and I believe it was the right amount, getting just one dish might live you a little hungry.

We came here for dinner and we had an amazing time. The waiters were extremely friendly and attentive and the food was truly special. We got the famous cocobichuela and the coconut shrimps and they were delicious. We were also offered drinking water for free, which is rare here in Cancun. The cherry on the top was the magician. If you are sitting in the garden, just make sure you use mosquito repellent. For us, this worked like a charm.

This was hands down the best restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The staff was so attentive and thoughtful, and very clearly love what they do. Every detail was carefully thought out and executed beautifully. The food was lovely, we got the catch of the day and chicken mole- both of which were cooked perfectly and balanced well. The drinks were great, the dessert paired with coffee was a delight, the bananas flambé was a great show and made right at the table. Pricing was very affordable for how decadent the experience was! What a magical oasis this place is, if we lived here we would go every week. Between the two of us for an appetizer, two entrees, three drinks, water, two cappuccinos, and dessert we spent around $80 US. The ambience was unmatched, surrounded by trees and greenery with stone carvings and low lovely light I could not recommend this place more highly!

One of the first established restaurant in Cancun downtown. Super authentic and beautifully decorated. We made booking via WhatsApp. Took a couple of second and it was all organized and confirmed. Location is easy to find just minutes away from ADO Cancun. Menu can be downloaded online, but available in printed format at the restaurant. Starters are delicious and generous portion. Mains are well selected, mainly seafood, but plenty choice to meat eaters too. There's a separate section for authentic Mexican cuisine. Worth to try the mole! Desserts are simple but delicious. There's a magician in the staff who can entertain when he's available. Really talented gentleman, tricks are tasteful and enjoyable. Some tip afterwards recommended. In summary, lovely restaurant in the center with air-conditioned inside or open air outside sitting. Priced reasonably. All staff speaking English perfectly.

Amazing restaurant in Cancun, Its a must for me. The food was delicious, the staff very respectful and we ordered the fried banana for dessert, they make it in front of you which is really nice to see.

It was a perfect evening starting with a warm welcome when arriving by the super friendly waiters, the beautiful atmosphere at the location and the delicious meals. We tried everything from divers fishy starters, to pasta and meat and of course some tasty dessert. It was just yummy!! Special notice to the waiters, who were very dedicated and friendly. Prices are more than fair imho. Very good value for money.

Delicious. Amazing atmosphere and the staff was even better. We got the ceviche (the best I’ve had yet). Some of the best food in the city. Would definitely recommend making a stop here during your trip.

What a beautiful place and amazing service! From the host to all of our waiters, everyone was so kind. The food tasted amazing, we got the Amaranth fish, guacamole, Mexican crepes, and passion fruit mouse and coconut parfait. They all tasted fresh and amazing! Parking was a bit hard, we had to park close to the parking area in Las Palapas.
