The barbacoa was tender, juicy, flavorful. It of course came with limes, onions, and cilantro to dress in addition to a house red and green salsa. The seating is covered but outdoors which makes for a casual and comfortable ambiance. Really enjoyed myself.

And yes, this place is both. Since the first time I've been here an fell in love with the consome con carne, I get it every time. I notice that almost everyone in the restaurant has a bowl of this savory, semi-greasy deliciousness of lamb soup. No this is not chipotle with their "barbacoa" that's really just shredded beef, it's the real deal. Whenever we come we get the consomé and a 1/4 kilo of barbacoa. This is accompanied by tortillas, salsa, limon, onions, and cilantro. For a family of three with sodas it comes to about $18 USD and we still had leftovers. They accept cards here but they do ask for ID. This is definitely a hidden gem in terms of tourist, but it's worth seeking out. Plenty of buses stop right in front of it including the R2. So if you want a taste of real Mexico, this is it.

Wow. Aza grill was incredible and it wasn't only because of the food. I ordered a steak and…read morepotatoes and it was like the best food I've ever had. My friends ordered salads and burgers and they also thought the food was great. We also ordered this cake with ice-cream on top and man it was incredible. But, our favorite part was our server, sweet Ernesto. He went above and beyond to serve us delicious and a nice dinner. There was jazz playing and he asked us what our favorite music was and he played frank sinatra for us. He was kind and attentive and even though I spoke a little Spanish, he used both languages to communicate with us which was very sweet. He told us about his kids and his life in America which was so cool to learn and he also helped us find fun activities to do at night with the help of calling someone. We will definitely remember this restaurant the next time we vacation to Mexico and we are so grateful to this wholesome man.

This place was a solid 3.5, though it was hella hard to find! Tip for finding it: be aware it's in…read morethe very back corner of a little outdoor strip mall, and the name is really "RealFood BBQ Smokehouse", so look for the sign that says predominantly RealFood. (See my picture for reference.) It's a very casual spot, with just a few tables inside and out. Staff is super friendly, and their English is good enough for those that aren't fluent in Spanish. They serve an interesting menu. It's a mix of healthy dishes and vegetables (hence the RealFood portion of the name), along with an array of BBQ items. Be aware, when the BBQ items are gone for the day, they're gone. I was disappointed they were out of the Baby Back Ribs when we went (that's my absolute fave), but I was pretty pleased with the Pulled Pork Sandwich I got instead. Pulled Pork is not something I'd normally associate with Cancun, but it was quite tasty! My friend got the Brisket, and that was also quite good. It looked a little darker than I'm used to, but it was a great cut of meat, and was very tender. Prices are quite reasonable, as it's not a tourist spot. My only complaint was they didn't serve beer. After a day of scuba diving, we were looking forward to ice cold beers and BBQ. I'll be back!
