The strip is filled with all the american cow manure comforts. Why fly all the way to mexico to feel like you're at home. Go downtown and eat like a local. This place is definitely the truth. Situated right in the welcoming front of Central Cancun, its as authentic Mexican as you can get anywhere in mexico. Order anything here and they'll truly amaze you with the vibrant flavors of real mexico. They have tables, a roof to protect you from the elements, chairs to sit on and beer to drink on. Life is great when you're really dining real local mexican. Two of us shared a medium cevice and the flank steak taco plate. Wash that down with two SOL with lime and salt... HELL YEA!! Mexico is awesome, specially the local stuff. We left the hotel cause were not paranoid of whatever these schizophrenic people say. We didn't get mugged, shot or kidnapped. You only live once, its too short to go through it scared. The glass is never half empty, Its always HALF FULL!!

There is a bus stop right outside the place so there can be a bunch of random people just hanging in front. Quesadillas and sopes with a not too long list of other ingredients to add in. Cost is 15 pesos for a quesadilla or 18 for a sope. I got quesadillas and they were alright. The middle of the quesadilla was not that hot though. Their salsa is not spicy at all.

Dinner in the cancun strip…read more We decided to pick Porfirio's for the evening from all of the restaurants outside of the all inclusive resorts. I took some notes and this is what I thought of the dishes. Xoajacan Imoladas - The mole is perfection. The flautas, superb. Everything in this plate is a symphony of what I would expect from Xoajaca. 9.5/10 Barbacoa Bonemarrow - Barcacoa is on point. The Marrow is Sublime. Together with the accompaniments is superb. I dream of Marrow everyday. This is a 10/10 Yellow fin Tosatadas - Superb!!! One of the best tostadas I have ever had. The microgreens, the sauce and the square Tostada works well all together. 8.8/10 Salmon - Cooked perfectly. The corn is a great accompaniment. The fish is impeccably seasoned. This dish is heaven sent with a 9.8/10 Grilled Octopus - Grilled perfectly, I can tell by the texture. The mash is superb, they used margarine instead of butter and I absolutely love the contrast from the traditional mash. 9.8/10 Mexican Rice - Its pretty good. It does have a nice seafoodish finish. The pepper was actually spicy. Nice and pleasant rice dish. 8/10 Charred Avocado Salad - Grilled avocado is a bit of a wash. It did make it look good on the plate. The dressing is a little weak. Needs a little more zip, some citrus or vinegar would give this salad some justice. Its a little uninspired 7/10 Service is impeccable and attentive and the atmosphere is lovely.

Gorgeous interior & very loud: music wise. The speakers are definitely great quality though, the…read moremusic videos they played sounded like a live performance in the restaurant itself. Anyway: the food, presentation of the dishes itself, and the overall vibe: 4/5. My favorite dish was definitely the steak. The bone marrow is better off being plain without all the stuff they put on top. The steak itself was perfectly cooked & seasoned. I should've took more pictures of the food but whatever- the mango tuna thing with avocado was delicious. Very mango forward. Great alongside some salsa as well. The octopus: OK enough, slightly overcooked. Chewy. Chicharron guac was yum. Our server was so sweet in the beginning but had an attitude after getting tipped 25% LOL other than that, great experience :)
