Amaretto vanilla ice cream
Laura A.

Excellent dinner choice when staying at the resort. I went with the habanero soup 5/5, salmon appetizer 4/5, filet mignon wrapped in bacon 5/5 and vanilla ice cream drizzled with amaretto. Service is quick and attentive. The restaurant is popular and upscale however resort wear is fine. Service is very quick, could have used a little more spacing in between courses. It was very busy and there were several birthdays over the hour I was there. The waiter forgot to bring me a steak knife but the filet was so tender I just used the regular (butter) knife and it cut right through it. I ordered medium rare and it was perfectly seared. Supposedly it is one of the best restaurants in the all inclusive choices for dining in the resort. I wouldn't doubt it.

We just returned from an 8 day Cancun vacation. We stayed at the Live Aqua resort and the Mb restaurant which is located inside came highly recommend recommended. Now being that I did not have any dress pants with me when I went to Cancun and there is a dress code there I was a bit worried, but the staff at the concierge provided pants for guest because they know most people when going to Cancun don't pack long pants so that was awesome. So after getting my formal attire, we went to the restaurant and oh my gosh, the ambience was five star elegance! There was a piano player playing beautiful music as we dined. We enjoyed a four course meal with a dessert. One of the items that everyone kept recommending that we try before we went here was the Habanero Soup which is one of their specialties. So of course I had to try it and oh my gosh, it was so good. It is served in a big bread bowl which is kind of like a sourdough bread bowl but not. And inside is the creamy habanero soup with spicy bbq potato chips on the top. It sounds strange, and maybe even look a bit strange, but trust me it is absolutely delightful! Our waiter was so attentive to us tending to our every need. Always making sure our wine glass was full or our water glass was full and making sure everything was OK with our food. The chef who is supposedly pretty world-renowned even came out and introduced himself with the wait staff to us! They even took our pictures and treated us like WE were royalty and VIP's. We have never been treated like such kings and queens before!

Great experience. We had so many things and all were delicious. Partner had habanero soup in the bread bowl, it was good and not spicy at all just a little kick. I had mushroom soup with goat cheese foam and it was delicious. 2nd dish we both had garlic shrimp. Main course filet mignon and stuffed chicken. The atmosphere inside is romantic and quiet and there was a live piano player.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Live Aqua and went to Mb for celebrating our baby-moon dinner, and while I had a great experience, I recommend making reservations in advance for a smoother visit, which luckily we did. The staff truly excelled at making us feel special and went out of their way to ensure we were well taken care of. The ambiance was stunning, with a rich decor that set the perfect mood. The soothing sound of a piano played softly in the background, creating a lovely atmosphere that complemented the dim lighting beautifully. While the food was full of flavors and certainly enjoyable, it didn't quite hit my personal favorites. Being vegetarians we had limited options, the food overall was nice but the resort has better restaurants.

Habanero soup

Very cozy, relaxing atmosphere for great food. When people raved about the habanero soup I thought they were just overhyping it but by the end of the night I definitely wanted more soup. There's not really a great way to eat the bread bowl with the soup without the soup spilling out but the potato chips topping gave a great contrast in texture. The filet mignon was tender and juicy. I enjoyed the different flavors of the salad but was surprised about the raw zucchini cubes. They also had a pianist who played so beautifully. Staff was attentive but not overly so where they're interrupting your meal.

Tatake Tuna

MB, as others have mentioned, is the fine dining restaurant of the Live Aqua Hotel. Most of the dishes are part of the "All-inclusive" package. They do have "upgraded" items that you pay for, but they were overpriced for my liking. The place has a very classy and romantic vibe. It was also very cozy. The food was very good. For soup, I had the habanero soup that was served in a bread bowl. My wife had the mushroom soup. It was very flavorful. For the appetizers, I had the Tatake Tuna. My wife had the Gambas. The tuna was the bomb!!! I should have ordered another one. The Gambas was ok. It was good, but nothing to run home to. I almost forgot, I also ordered the Lengua de Vaca. It was so, so good! For the main course, I had the Filet Mignon, while my wife had the Veal Cheek. The Filet Mignon was very tender and flavorful. The sauce was spot on. The Veal Cheek was pretty good, but needed more salt. The dessert was splendid, as well. We had the hibiscus and the choco soup. They also gave us the Brownie as a gift for our 27th Anniversary. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was a great experience for me and my wife. We would definitely go back when we get the chance.

Habanera soup
Alexandra L.

One of the better restaurants of live aqua. It's fine dining so there is a business casual/formal/chic dining. TLDR: APPETIZERS 100 percent better than entrees . Very nice location, has fine dining feel Nowww the food: -habanera soup: VERY GOOD, unfortunately most got absorbed into the bread so not much actual soup was left Quail: okay, was dry Salmon: nice and flaky with interesting apple/sweet sauce Tuna: seared, very good, ordered TWICE Shrimp: no concerns Chocolo cake: just a pile of meat tbh and it tasted terrible Ribs: SO dry not good Filet mignon: dry, not satisfying Icecream was good, brownie was very dense and fudgy

Hibiscus soup with Pistachio ice cream
Renelle W.

I do love a fine dining experience especially if it's included at an all-inclusive hotel. Mb is located at the Live Aqua Hotel and I am appreciative that this is even an option. There are three courses, not including dessert. Although a wonderful concept, I felt that the flavors fell short. My favorite dishes were the Tuna Tataki and the Hibiscus soup with Pistachio ice cream. The quail was too dry and the pork ribs lacked flavor for me. The ambiance is romantic and service was also good, which made me bump the stars from 3 to 4.

This was amazing atmosphere and classy -the food was good and fresh ! The desserts were plain not too flavorful- this restaurant is located inside Live Aqua it's part of all inclusive- really enjoyed the quiet and friendly- service was great recommend- be sure to dress up as this place has dress code

Amazing restaurant in Live Aqua. The habanero soup shrimp, and filet were all amazing. Best restaurant on the resort

I would give this overall a 9/10 if possible. This is the most upscale and fancy restaurant that is included in the Live Aqua all inclusive resort. They are accommodating of large groups and the food comes out pretty quickly. You can order multiple plates from the different meal rounds. The portions are hit/miss. They also have an entire vegetarian menu. If you are staying at Live Aqua you MUST eat here!

The ambiance and vibe of this restaurant is like a upscale, trendy fine dining restaurant. They require men to wear pants and they are only open for dinner (6pm). They do a fantastic job with the design, layout, and feel. Do yourselves a favor and order the habanero soup (not spicy) as it comes in a bread bowl with some potato chips, it's reminiscent of a chowder. The filet mignon was good but my wife's was overcooked. They don't use premium cuts of filet, so you may or may not get a good cut. They use molecular gastronomy and some other pretty advanced cooking techniques for some of their dishes.

The service, food, and atmosphere was all wonderful. The food was amazing! We were celebrating our anniversary.

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.

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 :)

The staff is very friendly and helpful. This place is a 10/10 in my book. I honestly hope they expand to more locations and eventually come to the USA. This place would be a hit in New York. I loved the tiki bar esthetic lots of palms and reeds. Great music and they were playing the Knicks game when we arrived. Really an awesome place. Probably great for grab and go as well. I was there with my wife and kids but I could really see how this place is great for a date or quick bite with friends. Not a huge restaurant there were maybe four or five high tables but they use the space very well.

SCAMMERS!!!! SPEND YOUR MONEY ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!…read more They will tell you it takes 10 minutes and it takes half an hour - I had an excursion booked and couldn't waiting any longer, just to take your money!! I was staying at a hotel next door, WAITING to try this place. I came before it opened was told to come back at at 8. I had an excursion booked and was waiting on my shuttle at my hotel, I asked the blonde bartender how long it would be for 2 burritos, she assured me 5-10 minutes. She said she UNDERSTOOD I couldn't missed my shuttle for my trip and it would be fast!! By 8:30, my shuttle had arrived and I had to leave. I told the bartender I can't wait any longer and had to leave, she asked would I be coming back tonight after my excursion. I told her I would. When I came back at almost 9pm, I had to go back and forth with the manager about what happened. He said he understood about catching the shuttle and he had to make a call to his boss. After 45minutes of waiting and going back and forth, he said his boss checked the camera and I left even after waiting half an hour for 2 burritos, so I get no refund and no burritos!! I SHOWED HIM SCREEN SHOTS OF MY RECEIPT WITH THE TIME I was charged and the time I had to leave!!AND HE ACCUSED ME OF LYING SAYING I SHOULD'VE WAITED LONGER than half an hour, so he wouldn't help, just argue with me about why I left? I came back later that night thinking they would give me a burrito that I paid for!!! To go back and work and argue over something so frivolous, after THEIR EMPLOYEES misinformed me of the time it would take!!! If the PERSON YOU HAVE AT THE FRONT IS TELLING PEOPLE IT CAN BE MADE IN 5-10 minutes THATS WHAT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED!!! They took my money and REFUSED THE COMPENSATE!! Then the manger accused me of lying - disgusting business and unprofessional management. Took my money and my food. Trash business. Unprofessional service. While we were arguing, other people weee complaining about their service too. If you're a tourist, DONT COME HERE!

You will pass through a metal detector and asked if you are carrying in any food or drinks ( not allowed) EVENT SPACES: The groom had reserved two private cabanas overlooking a semi private pool just steps from the beach. There was ample shade provided by sturdy patio III umbrellas, private casitas, each seating 10 adults. ATMOSPHERE: Common areas are look tired in the day light. I'm sure that the flaws are masked by the pool lights once the sun sets. Our private party was at the far end of the club; a 10x14' pool flanked by patio furniture in one side and 5 private cabanas on the other. The cabanas were set up living room style with a sofa, coffee table and cabinets for personal belongings. The view from one of the casitas was oceanfront making a lovely backdrop for photos. The music was obnoxiously loud most of the time with pounding bass. Our crowd was celebrating the Grooms and they a great time. In our case, the grooms were running a tab- open bar and order from an extensive bar menu. FOOD: Well presented and the guests seemed to enjoy it. My allergies were an obstacle to most of the menu, but I enjoyed the fruit OUR SERVERS were amazing. Taking orders and finding the guests was like wrangling cats but somehow they did an amazing job. This please is really suited for a 25-40 year old crowd. You know: the clubbing set. Would I recommend it for an older group? No. Was the event successful? The grooms were pleased, so we were also.

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.

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.
