    This place was great. Our "share" portion for two was like sharing for four. Huge portion. Seafood was FRESH! Staff was amazing. Their English was good. Definitely come here if you want shareable portions.

    Very hidden, get shuffled in by a street advertiser. Surprised at the quality of offerings. Overall nice staff and cleaner than most places, drinks were strong and the salsa was amazing. Queso fundido was greasy but would totally order again.

    This place was recommended to my gf and I from a bartender at Coco Bongo, and it did not disappoint! Our waiter Ricardo (and Luis) made many recommendations that we tried like the El Morro tostada, the shrimp tostada and the seared tuna. All were done so well! We also had oysters which were good size and fresh! Highly recommend this place just off the Main Street in Cancun. A really nice hidden gem! Didn't get pictures of all the food because it was so good and we just wanted to eat! Edit: I posted this review expecting nothing in return and showed Ricardo, and the manager brought us over oyster shooters! Customer service at its finest!!! Will def be coming back here next time I'm in Cancun

    Michelada El Morro and scallops aguachile. Truly the best I've ever had!

    Best drinks, seafood and steak! The staff was great. It's right next to coco bongo. The area and ambience is exactly what I was looking for. Very lively place and surrounding area. I would say the most lively area in Cancun. Next to Hard Rock Cafe second floor.

    5 stars for a lovely meal and festive environment out in Cancun. Mextreme serves breakfast lunch…read moreand dinner and there is a large bar. We had been walking in the area earlier that day and made a plan to come back for dinner. When we arrived there were a lot of people but we were seated immediately. Martin was our waiter and he was great. There were a few large screen TVs playing sports. There was live music. A lot was going on but it really worked. People were enjoying themselves and the wait staff was friendly and talkative. I ordered shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the mole. He always orders mole. The meals were very good. We ordered a mango margarita and Tecate. The margarita came with a tehine rim. I just wiped it off. That is becoming so popular. I decided to indulge in the banana dessert and I am glad I did. It came with a show. That was fun and the dessert was delicious. We were there earlier in the evening and we saw many couples and families. I'm sure the place gets a little more livelier as the night goes on. If you are in the area, this is a good place to eat and enjoy your time in Cancun.

    I had a wonderful experience at Mextreme! The staff were welcoming and the prices are reasonable…read morewithout added hidden fees. The space is huge and it has both AC and outside seating. We didn't get an opportunity to take pictures of the food but everything was delicious. We had the pancakes, chicken and shrimp omelette, waffles and coffee to drink.

    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 :)
