Where to eat Mexican food in Cancun: The Best Restaurants and Bars

March 18, 2020 Leonarda Pillsbury

Find out what Mexican restaurants to try in Cancun. 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.

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.

Went to this place as recommended by TripAdvisor. The place is very small and you would not expect all the deliciousness coming from a very small kitchen. Susy and her friend cooked awesome quesadillas, burritos, nachos and chilaquiles for us. It was like being at her house. She was so attentive and even gave us some spaghetti to try. Too bad we discovered this place on our way to the airport. Next time I’m in Cancun I will return to this gem. Mily thank you so much for letting us know your experience at the Deli, your comments motivates us to keep improving everyday. We are so happy that you enjoyed the food that we offer at the Deli. Hope you had a safe trip back home and that you visit us again soon! Greetings!

El Rinconcito de Puebla

A very cozy place, to spend the moment and to enjoy a good Mexican food good environment and excellent service. A terrace outdoors, with place for the whole family.

Reviewed By Watchwomen

The food was homemade style and delicious. The waitress spent time with us explaining a lot about recipes and tastes.The price was fair enough:around 500 pesos for enchiladas, tacos, 2 biers, 1 Michelada.All the staff was nice and the environment is welcoming because of the decorations and the music. You have the feeling to be in place where a true Mexican would eat and not the typical place for tourists, as it is usually the case in Cancun. Absolutely recommended!

Had great service from the hostess, Bianca, who went out of her way to get us hot tea from the cafe since they didn't have any at the restaurant. Our waiter, Eliseo, gave us a great dinner experience that we will never forget with tasty food made by the sushi chef, Alejandro. The staff also helped surprise my nephew for his birthday by having everyone sing to him. Highly recommend trying this restaurant!
