We came here often for lunch given its convenient location to our Casita. The tacos are the best here. Achiote fish taco and beef taco. Also I really like crudites (jicama, cucumber and carrot) served with Mexican salt and dip. Skip the kid's hamburger. Served with bread and the beef patty quality is not great. Pozole Salad is so so. I don't love pozole in salad. Much better in soup. May need a splash of lime to elevate the flavor. This place may be the most popular for breakfast. read more

The location is remarkable. A beautiful spot to get a drink and stare at the calmness of the sea. The food? Not all that. Limited options and many of which are pork or pork-y made. The service is friendly, no doubt. Go there for a snack and don't expect to eat and get full. read more

My partner and I dined for breakfast daily and loved the crepe bar, variety of fruits, and made to order omelettes. Breakfast is 5/5 stars. However, we also dined at La Laguna one night for dinner out for the 7 nights we stayed at the Fairmont and it was the worst meal of the trip! The service is incredibly slow. We order guacamole, tortilla soup, chicken mole, and tacos. The guacamole was great and came out a minute before the tortilla soup and mole. The mole was way too sweet and was a 5/10. Meanwhile we finished all 3 dishes and waited 25 minutes until our server came back. Given the wait we asked for the check and to not bring the tacos (which we felt bad about). Needless to say the food is below average and the service will keep you waiting long enough to go home covered in mosquito bites if you didn't douse yourself in bug spray before heading to the restaurant.

My husband and I are honeymooning at the Fairmont Mayakoba. We took advantage of the all-inclusive package, which allows us to dine at just about all of the restaurants on the resort grounds. During our first day in Mexico, we dined at the La Laguna and had an excellent experience. We were greeted by the hostess who asked if we had a reservation. We didn't make one, but there were plenty of seats available. She sat us at a two-seater with a beautiful view of the water and adult pool. We were then quickly greeted by our waiter and pour of the glasses of water and made menu and drink suggestions. We started with the guacamole and queso fundido, the waiter also provided us with some tasty bread as well. The guacamole was so fresh and tasty, the dipping chips were sturdy enough for dipping but not too hard to chew. The queso fundido was also very tasty. For our main course, I ordered the pork chop and my husband had the catch of the day which was sea bass. The courses were amazing, seasonings were awesome and the meats were cooked to perfection. We will definitely be returning to dine again during one of our remaining six days. read more

Last night was our departure meal from Mexico. Met up with some friends at the restaurant for a meal to enjoy conversations of what we did on our trip. Service and food was on par at La Laguna overlooking the lagoon at night. A beautiful sanctuary hidden in the forest and surrounded by water. Be aware that their limited menu choices make for an ideal meal. They will perfect the food selections as they come out to your table. I had ordered the grilled octopus with cauliflower and cream sauce, and some greens. If you're a fan of octopus, they do it really well. It had a nice char and drizzled with marinade. The margaritas were strong and perfect for the night. They made guacamole at the table. It is freshly prepared for you as you can request the strength of each ingredient to the recipe. Our meal was wonderful. A perfect ending for our relaxing vacation. Couldn't have been to a nicer resort with this many food selections. read more

La Laguna was absolutely beautiful and magical at night. I came here with my fiance for drinks after dinner (did not eat here) and we were seated on the outside patio right on the lagoon. Lighting and ambiance were spot on. Our server Edwin was fantastic and made us feel so welcome. He was very attentive and made our experience so much more enjoyable (Didnt order food) read more

We're at an all inclusive resort for our honeymoon and of course we are going to eat at every restaurant on the premises. This was our first night here so we decided to check out La Laguna as it was closest to our casita. We walked through the pool area to reach the restaurant and it is situated along the river. We were greeted by name as we RSVP'd earlier in the day. We decided to sit outside to enjoy the slight breeze off the water and it was a beautiful experience. Our waiter greeted us and gave us the dishes and appetizers he'd recommend. He also gave us drink options and we weren't disappointed. The ambiance was calm and serene. I wish I had this option back home. My wife and I eat at a lot of places but so far this was the best. We could here the birds and other animals nearby such as the coatis. The animals were not threatening at all and it didn't bother us. We had some fresh guacamole, queso and bread. My wife loves guacamole and orders it anytime we go to a Mexican restaurant. The queso was way different than the way we receive it back home. It was extra cheesy as the cheese was stretching whenever we dipped a chip in it. And the bread was made fresh on the premises and served with an oil, butter mixture that tasted so good. For my main course I ordered the whole fish(Bass) grilled and as you can see in the pics it was a delight to see as well as to eat. The fresh veggies and burnt lemon all brought the flavors of the fish together so well. Not to mention, it was a huge fish, I almost did not eat it all. Overall it was a great experience and since we are here for 7 days, we'll probably try lunch here as well. read more

Ate breakfast here Daily. It was such a great choice to include it in the resort. Everything was included. There was American and Mexican fare. Many choices for juices, cheeses and breads. They have a Mexican section where you can have many different tortillas. The cochinita was delicious. All the juices are fresh squeezed and taste delicious! There are many fruit juices to choose from. The staff are very efficient. They are continually refilling the areas with the specific foods. The areas are clean. Do recommend read more

We came here on our first day of the honeymoon for an early dinner and drinks. My wife loved the raspberry Paloma (the best she's ever had) and I enjoyed a strawberry margarita. The restaurant was very vegan and special diet aware and made sure everything we ordered was vegan for my wife. The chips, salsa and guacamole was great. I had the red snapper fish which was the catch of the day. My wife got vegan "gorditas" which she enjoyed. The atmosphere is great, the staff is accommodating and friendly. I am also going to review the overall hotel experience (amazing) so check that out as well! Overall breakfast buffet and al la carte is also great, recommend the eggs Benedict with salmon! We had the all inclusive package which was amazing! read more

Ceviche was meh. Seemed a little dry. Drinks were good. Empanadas meh. Tacos were pretty good but sometimes was hard to tell what was on it. Service was really good. I would go again. read more

We are staying at the fairmont with an inclusive dining package so we have already had breakfast lunch and dinner here. All have been good. The cocktails have been incredible. They are definitely the best in the resort. Each mixed with fresh local fruits and I cannot say enough good things. We thoroughly enjoyed our first lunch here and the dinner was well done. I will say that the salads and desserts should not be missed!! The entrees were okay but every app and side was fantastic so far. read more

The ambiance was lovely. My husband ordered the short rib. It was one small rib which was dry and not tasty at all. He was very disappointed. I orders the steak. It was good but the potatoes were super greasy. The salad was very nice but salty. We got chips, but no salsa? It was very expensive. We did have lunch at La Laguna. The lunch was great. Had the nachos. I would go for lunch, but not dinner. read more

While staying at the Fairmont we dined at La Laguna twice both for lunch and dinner and found each meal delightful. They concept is Mexican-Mayan cuisine based on local ingredients. While I found the staff to be a bit inconsistent in terms of service and understanding the menu, I thought the food was excellent. For lunch we started with the guacamole. You can order the guacamole in three styles, but we opted for the traditional. They start with fresh avocado slices brought to your table in a stone bowl. The staff mixes it right in front of you and seasons the spiciness to your liking. Incredibly fresh ingredients and highly recommended way to start your meal. We ordered it medium, which I thought was actually not very spicy, so if you like chili, I would opt for the hot/spicy. I also tried the El Pastor tacos, which were very good. Tender seasoned pork with sweet pineapple and served with a cream-chili based sauce. After you added some of the habanero sauce (available upon request) and a bit of the guacamole I was in heaven. My only compliant was that some of the port cuts has too much fat and I ended up removing several pieces from two of the tacos. I also liked the fact that they offer several Mexican craft beers on the menu. The Calavera beers are all outstanding and most recently they added some Los Muertos Day of the Dead Pale Ales and IPAs. Both were very hoppy, bitter beers that paired well with the fatty El Pastor tacos. At dinner I also tried some of the artisinal mezcal on the menu (they offered over 10 different mexcals), and while it was delicious, the pour was incredibly tiny...maybe just 2 oz and they were charging $14-16 each! That was shocking to me and I would hesitate to order mezcal again here as the prices are exorbitant. Other than that we had two excellent meals at La Laguna and thought it was a dining option at the Fairmont. read more

We have been around and this place is Awesome! They work with you if you have any food alegeries. The best was Daniel Vasquez and Jaime (Octopus) Herrera. They took such good care of us. Definitely coming back again. read more

This was my favorite out of the Fairmont Mayakoba restaurants. Went twice for lunch and dinner, once for breakfast. The cocktails were perfect, had the Paloma, Maria Bonita, Mexcalita Yucatán & Coba Chela. The best one was the Maria bonita with the hibiscus. Please try the barbacoa beef taco with the house made green sauce which is really spicy but so good. Definitely get the corn on the cob. The breakfast buffet was gorgeous and plentiful, they had everything you could possibly want. My boyfriend told the hostess it was my birthday and they surprised me with an amazing chocolate brownie cake with raspberry jelly. read more

This was the first restaurant of the trip and I would recommend making a reservation and sitting on the deck near the Lagoon. The octopus was killer and a classic Yucatán meal. Bartender knows how to make a solid marg and the spice marg was my favorite- you can't go wrong here. read more

View on the lagoon is nice. Staff were friendly. Full stop. Bill was $86 USD. Gauc, 2 margs, two starters. I don't mind paying when food is good, however... margs we're flavorless - not sure they had more than .5 oz of tequila - very watered down (did not finish mine). Gauc was not seasoned. Hamachi -very salty and parts of fish I pushed aside as it seemed not fresh. Quesadilla was bland. All in all, was a 'meh' bland experience that costs too much money. Wish I had saved the calories and the money. read more

I would probably give 1.5 if possible. I thought our server was nice and attentive, but he was clearly let down by the kitchen and maintenance crew tonight. First, we sat down, but had to continue to move our table to miss the dripping from the AC vent in the ceiling. My boys both ordered off the kids menu (not the kids buffet). My 10 year old had the burger. He thought it was ok, but it was the size of a slider. After that, he ordered spaghetti and finally was full. My younger son had two orders of spaghetti, so the portions are pretty small. These are not big boys. We ordered the queso. Not a traditional queso, but more of a Mexico City melted cheese on a fajita plate. It had food flavor and not too greasy. The main corse was the problem. I ordered the filet, but it arrived late and ice cold so I didn't eat it. After filling up on chips, as all the other tables around us got their food before us, my wife and I shared the fish of the day (grouper). The fish had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. Unfortunate, by that time the meal overall was a bust. We thought we would give the server another chance to make it up to us. We asked if the boys could have some churros off the kids buffet. However, we were told that we would be charged for an ice cream dessert for each so they could each eat two dried out cold churros. We typically stay at the four seasons, but this place is not far off of that price. We expected and deserved better. My recommendation is to skip this place. The final straw, we bright our own wine. They told us when we called it was a $30 cork fee. It is actually $35 dollars. This place is a joke. If a manager actually reads this or cares, let me know. read more

We frequented La Laguna for our entire stay in Mayakoba. The food selection is more casual than the other 2 restaurants at Fairmont, so when we were looking for something a little more simple, this was our go to. The breakfast buffet is huge with tons of options, including traditional Mexican breakfast selections. My favorite non-breakfast selection was the Mahi-Mahi tacos.. don't be fooled by their small appearance, they are filling! They're served with a rice and beans option, which costs extra, and I mistakenly ordered the sides, unaware of just how filling the tacos would be. You've been warned.. The servers here were always very pleasant and prompt, and in perfect Fairmont fashion, always just the nicest people you'll meet :). The prices are typical for a 5 star resort, so don't be caught off gaurd when your bill comes.. worth every penny, though! read more

Food is over priced and sub-par. It's better if you head in to town for authentic, delicious cuisine.

My daughter and I ate lunch at La Laguna on our final day in Mayakoba. We were delighted with the flavors, fresh ingredients and service. Upon our return, this will likely become our mainstay as the offerings were casual and most-palatable. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of mayokoba, it's relaxed and casual perfect for families or a romantic evening. I would recommend any of the steaks as they are cooked over wood fire and the fish ! A ha Knox to add the surf and turf option and get the shrimp for about 1/2 priced. read more

The food and service was great. My tortilla soup rocked, and my carnitas entree was spectacular.

While expensive, if staying at Fairmont very convenient. The mahi tacos are very good here as is the guacamole.

Ate lunch here. The food was terrible for being so overpriced. I never had a $20 burger with stale bread that it crumbles in your hand . Chicken dish was terrible too. Complained about the food to the staff who just shrugged. I think people eat here as there are hardly any choice in mayakoba . Richard Sandoval take a bow. I hope you eat here once to experience the food. read more

For the price, I have to say this place is a complete and total rip off. The food is way below average and I've had a lot better Mexican in significantly more humble settings. The much-ballyhooed guacamole was bland and did not impress. The meat in the tacos I had was overcooked, dry, and flavorless. I guess La Laguna relies on a steady stream of families staying at the hotel and doesn't really have to try that hard. It really shows. read more

Excellent breakfast buffet. Best in area. Fresh juices, Mexican items are exquisite. Home made breads, fresh ripe tropical fruits.
