Puerto Juárez Brewery

Brewpub

👍👍 Once you get sick of Dos Equis at your $500/night resort (it still blows my mind that these fancy places get away with not having good beer in 2022) hop in a cab to Puerto Juarez Brewery! It was about 25 minutes and $25 USD from the hotel zone and absolutely worth it. The place is a true micro brewe...

"El Charco" Deisy Y Raul

Restaurant

👍👍 The best food I’ve had on the island so far! The food is so delicious and authentic, but that’s not even the best part! Deisy and Raul are so kind!! You can literally feel the ambiance of kindness walking through the door! They were amazing with my two toddlers! We will be back!

The Tiki Mug - Tiki Bar & Food

Restaurant

👍👍 Very nice and small bar around the downtown area with very delicious cocktails, hookah,live music and acceptable prices. The staff is nice and friendly checking very often if you need something else. The bar is well decorated and all the cocktails are served in a tiki cup. Also there is a "live volc...

Tiki Island Bar Cancún

Tiki bar

Prelude

Bar

👍 Great place for some amazing drinks, especially in the evening when there are events right next to it. Some of the bartenders are rather flamboyant and you may get to see some show of their own. Had a great time here, especially during the 9:45PM live music events happening here.

Sports Bar

Restaurant

👍👍 Great food and very good service. Vegan friendly. We went for Burger, Fries and Quesadillas. All great - loved their fries especially. They have a very good collection of beers and other drinks - somewhat expected as well. They have a couple of TVs (opposite the bar) and a large screen (9 TVs in a 3...

Aluxes Bar & Grill

Bar

👍👍 10000% recommend. Friendly service and conversation. High end fish tacos (seriously, it looks and tastes like art). Delicious mixed drinks.

Soul sisters bar isla mujeres

Bar

👍👍 This place is truly an island gem. I was on a family vacation on the island and casually enjoying the night air. Walking around the downtown area, most restaurants and bars offer similar variety. Tacos and Italian themed venues are standard and very good. Soul sisters bar stand out because it th...

Miguel's Moonlite

Bar & grill

👍👍 Miguel was awesome! Treated us like family. Perfect stop for some evening drinks.

The White Box

Seafood restaurant

🫤 Food wasn’t too bad, but the service couldn’t have been worse. Ordered a burger after waiting half an hour for them to take our order despite it not being busy at all, 2 hours later a done out pizza rocks up and all the waiter says is “sorry it is similar”. Not impressed

Bar

👍👍 Came here today on the Dancer Cruise. The bartender was great! We didn’t get her name unfortunately but she let us put on music of our choice. She was so nice! The drinks were strong too. We will definitely come back next time we visit.

Ruta 15 Bar

Pub

👍👍 Wife and I ate here before our ferry ride back to Cancun. We absolutely loved the food here! And the drinks were delicious and cheap! Definitely some of the best food we had during our entire Mexico trip! Our server was fantastic (can't remember his name, was a bigger fellow, very kind and amazing s...

Facebar

Bar

😠 ASK FOR PRICING UP FRONT! TOURISTS & GRINGOS AVOID! THEFT. When we asked for our bill, we were told a huge amount (just under 1000 pesos!) after only a few drinks. We asked for a menu, and we're denied. We asked for a bill since it was way to high to make sense, nope! No bill available. So, we a...
