    Shrimp Tacos
    Jazmine M.

    DO NOT EAT HERE !!! Let me start by saying the reviews here must be fake nobody was enjoying their food INCLUDING ME . I ordered fish tacos they were disgusting worst I've ever had in fact , the guacamole I could throw up the drinks are watered down and Louis had the nerve to charge me full price for my tacos and guacamole after I returned it with the plate FULL . Smh do not waste your time and take a look at the kitchen oh boy don't get me starters with the bathroom this place should be put out of business ! Bad customer service ! Just a horrible experience in general .

    Causal open air style with highest quality meats. A few vegan choices but this is steak and seafood. Delightful waiter Luis made it the best

    HUGE cocktails that we drank. Highly recommend the hurricane and the Long Island.

    The best drinks we had in Mexico! This little gem off the main drag is worth the extra two blocks of walk. The cocktails are fantastic and HUGE (wish I had taken a picture before we drank them). The food was fantastic. We got the baked potatoes with arranchara and OMG . Then we both got tacos as our entree and they were fantastic. The restaurant is super cute and the service is great. We will definitely came back if in Cancun! Also, very instagramable. We sat with Juan and we loved him!! He was fantastic.

    Stopped hear for drinks. People that work here are really friendly. Better than that the service is great. Better check the exchange rate before you order. It's different than what everyone else uses in the area. Most places use 21-1. They are 18-1. Got some DON Julio 1942 served with a nice presentation. Also got two free margaritas just to come in.

    What an awesome look this place has to offer that's it! The food was bland they sell better beans in a can than whoever cooks them here. I got the Eggs with chorizo breakfast and I got sad forcing myself to eat it since it was so salty. I didn't finish it but the waiter was so nice I tried to not be a bump in his road. My partner got the chicken enchiladas and they looked so beautiful when presented but the tortilla was super old it was hard to cut through it and the chicken was literally Tyson chicken placed inside of them. We got offered two free shots while walking by and I don't drink but my partner took his shot and they charged him for it so don't fall for that scam walking by. Unfortunately i found this place on yelp and we gave it the benefit of the doubt plus the shot that was offered was a plus.

    Great service. Great food, great people. We will probably be back. Best shrimp I've had. Love the margaritas.

    Chelsea S.

    This place is amazing. Great margaritas. They sneak up on you though because you can't taste the alcohol. Surf and turf was so so good. Definitely recommend. Can't remember our server's name, but he was also great. Very personable.

    Hot cakes

    Rafael was the kindest, most attentive and personable waiter. The food was the BEST that we have experienced in Mexico. We had a combination of breakfast and lunch. Pancakes are good, tacos are wonderful, and drinks are amazing! Just GO

    Chipotle pasta
    Gil B.

    The beef nachos were so good forgot to take a photo. Huge serving of chips with seasoned juicy carne asada with cheese, guac, & pickled jalapeños. The chipotle pasta was good & so was the garlic shrimp. It's a small pace and there was a DJ and it got a little loud with the only tables I can see were outside on sidewalk.

    Chipotle pasta no bacon

    Evelyn was our server she was so great! So attentive, made awesome recommendations. I got the chipotle pasta with no bacon. Was SOOO BOMB

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 :)

It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.

The menu is simple with just enough options to where everyone can find something they like.

Many of the dishes have strange ingredients that the regular gringo hasn't heard of, which makes this even more exotic! I consider myself a mexican food expert, to some degree, and they're serving dishes that are so inventive, so wild, so fresh, so delicious! The dining area is split between a covered outside area, and seating on the grass overlooking the lagoon. Be careful, there's alligators in there! The service was fantastic- the waiter was patient, spoke English, and made excellent recommendations. I got fish with peppers, octopus ceviche, and some mezcal, followed by a honey and anise Mayan drink. All of which were delicious! My dining companion had a strange pepper with some fish- also nom! Coming here was like a history cuisine lesson, mixed with delicious food, wonderful scenery and a pleasant meal! My favorite part of this place is the artwork when you come in. They've got a Mayan god in a cenote at the doorway that just is amazing!
