Quintana Roo, Mexico Food Guide: 10 International food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Cancun

October 2, 2019 Nicolette Lion

Reviews on International food in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

Cancun Lighthouse Marina

Reviewed By R578HVandys

Everything was great! Augusto was a phenomenal waiter, based on his suggestions we had a spectacular birthday lunch! We came across the street from our resort to visit the la Isla mall, and had lunch at Cancun lighthouse. The margaritas and special cocktails were amazing! Would definitely recommend!

Reviewed By SolunaCancun

My husband and I are big fans of this restaurant. We have gone for dinner and brunch on several occasions in the past but tonight we went back to try their new concept " All you can eat a la carte tasting menu for one low price!" WOW! We tried 8 different tapas each paired with the whiskey experience ( 4 different whiskeys varying in taste and age) and shared a dessert. Everything and I mean everything was simply excellent! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. As usual, the service and quality of food were top notch. If you are on vacation in Cancun make sure you add this place to your list and if you live in Cancun like we do and haven't been here yet then my question is "what are you waiting for?"SolunaCancun,Thank you so much for your lovely words and beautiful pictures, it's always a pleasure having you both dine with us.Thanks again from all of us here at The Bears Den.

The Club Grill

10 years of award wining cuisines, jazz band and dance, AAA 5 Diamond Award.

Reviewed By Peter S

As with everything else at the Ritz, the Club Grill was excellent. It's a beautiful space, with polished and professional staff that serves excellent food - delicious and with beautiful presentation. The jazz duo was a nice touch. As mentioned by others, it seemed that you had walked back in time to the mid 60's as an overall experience. It is pricey, but certainly worth it for the this type of dining. So, while it was a great night, I'm not sure we will go again when we're next at the Ritz - just not quite our thing. However, that has to do with our tastes, not the Club Grill, which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family or friends..

Samura Japanese Cuisine & Bar

Reviewed By GeorgiaDad2

I had Samura on my short list of possible dinner choices during our family vacation to Cancun. Samura is not in the hotel zone, but do not let that interfere with your decision to go. The restaurant itself is in a great part of Cancun and is very well maintained. Everything seemed to shine like it is brand new. The staff was excellent especially Armando and Sergio. We were treated like royalty. The food was excellent. The sushi was great! We ordered two rolls with our entrees and it was all fantastic. The vibe was great. The price was also very reasonable, I was very pleased with our bill. We went fairly late around 9:00 and had no problem getting a reservation. Cab service to and from restaurant was like clock work. All in all, we loved Samura and highly recommend it.

Reviewed By Cookiemaven

Here is my last review... nothing has changed which is a good thing. We've been going to Les Cepages since it opened...every year on our annual Cancun trip. It is still our favorite restaurant in Cancun, and believe me there is much competition. Very reasonably priced for very high end food. Read my past reviews - nothing has changed and if anything, it's even better. Chef Sal is in love with food! Just hearing him describe the menu makes us believers. Take a taxi as it's hard to find and not on the main bus route. Just go - You won't be disapppointed.

Reviewed By CharisCh12

We saw this place on trip advisor and we got the feeling that it was gonna be quite qualitative. When we reached there the restaurant was totally empty (on a Saturday evening). We thought that it might be symptomatic, but when we got the menu we realized the reason why. Really high prices compered to what they offer. They are trying to present a high class profile at a not at all modern and high class place. A total mismatch!!! Food was ok but guys hey, learn what value for money means...!Charis,You're totally right ! We are not a Modern, Flashy & Noisy restaurant as many others are (or like Fred's and we also do not have a chain of 9 other restaurants to back us up ) Our guests many times let us know they appreciate to be able to dine in an environment where one can also talk with his friends while enjoying our food and service of which they speak highly in many of our reviews.In many of them you can also read that we are a small, family runned Restaurant with a small budget but with a hi level of Food quality, service and personal attention and in a few days celebrating our 9th anniversary ( that means something no?)To bad you did not notice the "un-dressed" empty tables when you came in to a "totally empty" restaurant that had been quiet busy earlier, before you walked in...We are not cheap, yes, but very worthwhile and our prices are based on the quality and freshness of our ingredients that are of the highest standards available.You seem to like Fred's, according to your other review from the same day...well we're pretty sure their prices are higher..Hope there is, as you just joined TripAdvisor this August and only 2 reviews so far, that with time, you will also learn how to read and write future reviews...A challenge !? Open up a Restaurant in Cancun ( or anywhere ) Greek maybe? and see for yourself it's not easy at all to please everyone.....if you do; Good luck to you !

Reviewed By Zesupercritique

First of all, the cabaret itself is gorgeous and so are the female dancers.The costumes for women and the stage, light show and settings are superb as well.Some dancers are excellent, but others seem injured, exhausted or simply jaded.Who could blame them when they work constantly for more than 3 1/2 hours and do other shows on the side?This show is too long and should be cut down to 2 hours, without meals...The food was terrible, served cold, almost thrown at you and it's always embarrassing to me to eat in front of performers...Now the show itself : very uneven. Most signers sing well in Spanish but English is not their forte. False notes galore ! Sometimes even a little funny it's so bad.And you never get to "settle" into a piece that is well executed and where an actual emotion is felt and happening because of the constant switches to other songs.It feels like a hypomanic medley for promoting K-Tel records.Your head spins trying to keep up with all the action and costume changes, thus, never allowing the spectator to ease into and appreciate a complete number.It's like the creators wanted to "throw it all in there", not having the discernment to know when to stop, pause, edit or allow emotions to rise up.Being in this industry, I can tell you this is no Vegas or Broadway show.It has the glitter, but none of the soul...Special shout out to the young MC who's got fabulous energy !Bottomline, glad I went and did not have to pay for it.Dear Customer,Thank you for deciding to attend our Chic Cabaret & Restaurant.We are very pleased that you liked the beautiful costumes, the beautiful dancers, and the place, as well as the energy of our MC.Your comments are very important for us and you can be sure that your opinion about the duration of the show will be transmitted to our Administration for their consideration.It will be a pleasure to welcome you again on your next visit to Costa Mujeres.Best regards,Heidi JiménezHospitality Manager Assistant

Reviewed By TerryS727

Our server, Daniel was very nice and attentive. We ordered the fireball appetizer and the grilled shishito peppers. Daniel brought us a house appetizer that was a spicy cream cheese with fried plantains arranged vertically. Tasty but really, just a simple cream cheese appetizer. The peppers were delicious. Not much crab taste in the fireballs though they were good. Next we ordered the tempura vegetable platter. There was really no seasoning or flavor to anything on the plate without dipping into a sauce. We also ordered the crab hot pot which my husband loved but I thought, again lacked flavor. We were celebrating my birthday so they kindly brought out a slice of a light cake with a whipped cream filling. It was light and airy and good. All that said, neither of us is feeling well tonight. Coincidence?Hello Terry, We are very grateful for the time you took to write, for us it is nice to read that our team treated you as you deserve, we regret that our dishes did not meet your expectations, let us invite you again, our chef will be happy to advise you personally to make the best choice so we would like you to contact us at [email protected], since your opinion has been very important for us.
