We live in the Bay Area where Korean BBQ spots are everywhere, and we've tried a lot of them over…read morethe years. We've also eaten at many places in LA, which is known for having some of the best Korean food. We saw this place had pretty solid reviews, especially on Google, and even saw comments from people claiming they were Korean and from LA saying this place rivaled KBBQ spots there. Because of that, we came in with really high expectations. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. The restaurant is located upstairs, and the elevator ride alone almost made us turn around. It was extremely shaky and honestly felt unsafe at times. There were moments we thought it might actually drop. I would definitely recommend taking the stairs instead. We ordered the mixed combo with beef, chicken, and pork, along with soybean soup and steamed egg. The banchan selection was limited and overall the flavors were pretty underwhelming. The biggest issue though was the meat quality. Most of the meats were chewy, including the pork belly, which should have been much more tender because of the fat content. One thing we've noticed in Mexico compared to the US is that the meat quality in general often isn't quite the same, and this place really highlighted that for us. Honestly, Gen BBQ back in California is much better than this spot. I understand some people love this place because they cook over charcoal, but the cooking process took forever. Each meat took a long time to cook, and they had to replace the coals multiple times during the meal. The one thing that really stood out in a positive way was the steamed egg. It was honestly one of the best steamed eggs we've had. Super fluffy, airy, and cooked perfectly. If you're someone who really loves Korean food or Korean BBQ, I personally wouldn't recommend going out of your way for this place. There are much better options out there worth spending your money on.

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.

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!
