Why, oh why don't you have a dance floor?! If you don't have a reserved table, you'll have nowhere to dance or stand without being in the way. It's such a shame of a set-up because the music is great (if you like 90's and early 2000's hip hop) and the gigantic drinks actually make the open bar worthwhile. Loved the decor, too -- but you'll only appreciate it if you think cows are funny (if you don't think so, you're a monster).

Free shots , yummy: )

I have been here 2 times and its so much fun !! We went out for my boyfriends bday while we were in Cancun and came here . We bought our ticket at the resort $35 each including the taxi ride , drinks included huge drinks! The music is always great and updated, the dancers are awesome and the staff is so friendly so too and be nice , it goes a long way in Mexico.. We danced all night and had a blast. The only bad thing was that I drank water and I should know better , it made me so sick , so stick to alcohol and water out of a bottle and the resort's water since it's from a water bottle .

Of all the places to party in Cancun, La Vaquita has made my top 3! On my most recent trip to Cancun, one night after a long day of excursions and riding on a tour bus my friends and I thought we'd be done for the day. Our drop off destination was in the area of this club and while walking pass across the street we were stopped by one of the promoters for the club. Now normally I usually don't stop but the guy who approached us was super chill and not pushy! He made a deal for my friends and I which we couldn't turn down AND received the VIP experience. We bought our tickets, went to our hotel to change and returned. Same guy was at the door as promised and escorted us in to our section and the fun began! We had a blast!! Great music! Great drinks! And plenty dancing, what else could you ask for?

We were ripped off..14 of us, $35 a piece for a section & open bar. The "section" was a small round table, we had to flag down the waiter to keep bringing drinks. The drinks were in these large gas station cups so I know barely alcohol was in it. I order straight Bacardi rum. Both times, both cups tasted NOTHING like rum but straight juice. 2 hours into the night, no one felt any liquor. The only thing I enjoyed was I came all the way from ATL &represented. I came in 2nd in the twerk contest! 1x INTERNATIONAL TWERK CHAMP lol

This is possibly the only cow-themed hip-hop bar on the planet, and it's the only hip-hop bar in Cancún, so it's worth a stop through to check it out. However, as soon as you get within a block, you have already checked it out. What do I mean by that? Well, have you ever been to a place where there are no windows, a velvet rope and a line outside, and you get inside only to be disappointed that no one is in there? Well, that would never happen here because this place is the exact opposite. Like many of the clubs in Cancún, there are only three walls, so you can see in the club before you get there. That means that you get to hear the music and see the crowd before you even get inside. While this is great as you know if you will get your money's worth, you may soon find yourself remembering how important a/c is if it is one of those 90 degree/90% humidity nights. Not the greatest club experience, but hey, at least you know what you are going to get.

Get ready to moo-ve your body at the most quirky and fun nightclub in Cancun! It's spotted, black and white decoration make it impossible to miss amongst the other blasting nightclubs. As soon as you arrive you'll be taken in by the party, just don't mind the giant hanging cows. The service is great, just what you would expect from the owners, Grupo Mandala, who also own most of the other clubs in the area. As far as drinks and music go you can't expect anything much different than its sister clubs, but this one surely has something special to it. In no time you'll be milking the fun out of this place, just don't forget to bring the honeys.

The drinks were very strong which surprised me since this place is open bar I thought the drinks might be a little watered down.

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.

Service was very good. We had 2 bartenders, and they were both super attentive. The food was really good. They had quite a few sauces that I've never seen at any of the Hooters I've ever eaten at in the US. I was craving veggies, and an American chain restaurant seemed like a good place to get them in Mexico. My dish, the Cowboy chicken, was great. It came with steamed veggies (just ok. They were probably frozen), grilled corn on the cob (really good) and an incredibly juicy, moist chicken breast topped with American & Swiss cheese, bbq sauce & bacon. Yum!

They were pretty dead, so we thought our service would be quick. It wasn't. We were sat at a dirty table with sticky/mildew-smelling menus. I wanted to leave, but my fiancé wanted to give them a chance. I cleaned the table myself. The server came to take our order & it eventually came out as requested. I ordered chicken strips thinking it was a meal that couldn't be messed up. They had no taste at all. None! My fiancé loved his burger and ate his fries and mine. The chicken went to waste, unfortunately. All in all, it's an ok place to try if you're looking for American food. I just didn't enjoy my experience. When we left the restaurant and walked towards the street near the ice cream shop, the photographer from this restaurant ran after us and asked us to buy our photos. She was so far away from the restaurant & I was shocked that she followed us just to make that sale. My fiancé felt sorry for her and bought a photo and let her keep the change. Everyone has a hustle there. That's for sure.

Porfirio's - Bone marrow

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 :)
