The waiter was funny and entertaining. He did some fun tricks while serving the food. Staff is so lovable and kind. We got Pina coladas and mojitos. We were happy to see vegetarian options. We got vegetable fajitas, nachos and poblano quesadillas. The food and drinks were wonderful. Such a fun and lively atmosphere and ambience. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Would come again if we visit! read more

Mextreme - Fun waiter Gustavo! - Mexican Near Me - Cancún, ROO

We came to this restaurant by mistake and it definitely had flair. The hostess was helpful and the ambiance was full of color, silly signs and waiters with neat margarita holding skills. The menu was huge and had all the usual Mexican dishes you would expect. The food was decent but not great. They were busy so service wasn't great but just ok. Around the area there was not much to choose from so for a single dinner it was just ok. read more

What a great time and experience. Better than I expected being in the hotel zone of cancun. Food was good, service was exceptional. Definitely lived up to its name. I would definitely return. Salsa and tableside guacamole were great. I think the chicken tacos were a little bit better than the skirt steak but I would definitely order either one again. read more

We came here on our vacation about 4times for breakfast and once for dinner. Luis the server was great!!! Food was very inexpensive. Ambiance is what u come to Cancun for. It's fun and Poppin the servers deliver margaritas to those that order them stacked on their heads while dancing. Again thank u Luis for the great service hope to be back soon!!! read more

TOTAL TOURIST TRAP! On our recent trip to Cancun we decide to venture out from our hotel and take a walk one evening. As we were walking one of the locals stuck a coupon for free appetizer in our hand for Mextreme. We turn to Yelp for a quick assessment and based on overall review decided to stop in. Dear fellow yelpers I totally don't agree with your overall review of 4 solid stars. The food is terrible and overpriced. Steak molcajete was lacking taste, guacamole was on the brown side of the avocado color wheel than on the green side and didn't look fresh. And we left the free appetizer alone after one bite. Mariachi band was a nice addition and another reason to reach into your pocket for a tip. Our waitress gets 5 solid stars. She was super bubbly and very helpful. read more

This was such a great restaurant and experience! After staying at the resort that had terrible food, we wanted to have some quality Mexican food and ventured out to Mextreme! The food was great! I HIGHKY recommend the Fish Tacos!! They were soooooo amazing! The entrainment was fun between the margaritas being delivered on the servers heads, the live band, and the kind service staff, we had a wonderful time. read more

Very authentic! Great show and delicious food. The enchiladas were top notch. Will definitely come back.

This is such a fun restaurant! It has a huge outdoor dining area and a live band plays on stage at night! The atmosphere is lively and the servers are just as good at performing as they are at attending to diners. They really let their personalities shine through and engage with guests which definitely enhances the experience. We had 4 margaritas (3 classic, 1 mango), queso fundido, enchiladas, vegetarian tacos, and a side order of rice. Everything was sooo good! The drinks are huge and not too strong or too sweet and the servers deliver them stacked on their heads. (see pic). It looks impossible but we saw one person deliver three at a time! The queso fundido is melty and creamy and the cheese really takes the flavor of the grilled peppers and onions. Tacos are served with veggies, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, corn, and cheese along with mild and spicy salsa. Enchiladas are presented beautifully with the colors of the Mexican flag and covered in delicious sauces and cheese. I especially enjoyed the tangy salsa verde. It tastes very fresh and it's finished with the perfect amount of lime. Prices are incredible, we spent ~$50 for 4 margaritas, one app, two entrees, and a side dish! The restaurant is on Blvd. Kukulcan in the Zona Hotelera so you can walk around before or after your meal. and it's sure to please everyone! (couples, families, friends, etc.) read more

I had the Mextreme omelette and it was excellent. The service was excellent and the prices are good considering it's in the hotel zone.

Great location and great food! Best Mexican good we had while in Cancun. The hotel good sucks; no matter where you stay. Come to Mextreme for authentic food. Avoid the raunchy placed by Coco Bongo. read more

The first night in Cancun my family and I came to Mextreme - oh boy, did it start the trip off to a great start! The atmosphere was just on a whole other level, everyone was dancing, singing & drinking (including my family and I). They had music playing the whole night and even the employees were dancing with the customers. Not to mention, the food was just delicious! (Especially, their al pastor and margaritas... it's their best selling thing there).. OHHH, and they make the best guacamole (step by step) right in front of you on your table in a molcajete. I'd say the only down side about this location would be its only outdoor seating. Luckily, the afternoon my family and I went it was quite humid, so it wasn't an issue. Would totally recommend Mextreme to anyone out here! read more

Put this place on your must visit list! We were immediately seated and ordered drinks. Our waitress was full of energy, kind and super knowledgeable about the menu!

Food is very mediocre! Service was decent. Located in the hopping part of town in Cancun. Came here for a light dinner one night because someone at our hotel had given us a coupon for a complimentary appetizer, and who doesn't like free? haha. We ordered the large Ceviche to share. We got complimentary chips and salsa as well. The appetizer came with 3 small items of taquitos, beans and dip. It was ok. The ceviche was decent, but lacking in flavor. Service was decent. Bathroom was ok. Overall just an average place. read more

This place was delicious! We hopped a short bus ride to get here from our hotel for breakfast. I ordered the Metreme omelet and waffle, and my husband got the molcajete huevos. The coffee was also great. Definitely recommend if you're looking for an authentic breakfast outside of your hotel. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Mexico. Great views, prime location, and cool food presentation. Still don't know how the waiters and waitresses carry the margaritas on their head but so cool! The food there is great for lunch and dinner! Plentiful portioned sized meals. read more

Recommended by our shuttle driver my husband and I had to try this place. Being on the resort all we wanted was authentic Mexican food. This place was great. We both had tacos for lunch and margaritas. The guac was good too.. The margaritas might have been the only real alcohol we had in Mexico (resort liquor is weak) and they bring the margaritas on their head for a lil flare. Service was good. read more

What a great place! Sure, it's a little "touristy" but so is everything in the hotel zone! Food was flavorful and yummy. GET THE SPECIAL GUACAMOLE. Trust me. We had Jose as a server and he was amazing. We loved it here! read more

If your looking for decent and authentic Mexican food that is affordable then you must check this place out! The staff was super friendly and entertaining. The servers would walk around balancing glassware on their heads. Super fun! The menu has all the traditional stuff you'd expect. They start out with bringing you chips and two different salsas. The green one isn't too bad and not spicy, the red one is a bit spicy though. We started with the classic margaritas and some guacamole. The guacamole needed some salt, but other than that super fresh and delicious. The classic margarita was delicious and priced very nicely at about 10 pesos. For lunch i had the tacos el pastor. It came with 4 tacos and a side of limes, guacamole, and salsa. They also brought out A habanero sauce that was SUPER hot. Overall a nice lunch, and very affordable at about $10 USD for a margarita and 4 tacos. I'll be back for sure read more

You have to try this place. We've been here for 10 days and have come at least once a day. All of the food is awesome, highly recommend the parillada mexicana or molcajete. The horchata and margaritas are amazing. The service is great and they are super friendly. It's always a fun environment and a great place to people watch. read more

Perfect place to go for tourists. The ambience was great. The prices weren't outrageous and right in the heart of the Hotel Zone. We went on a Friday night around 9PM. It did take a while for our order to be taken but overall the food and service was good. The food was nicely portioned and priced. read more

Ton's of fun, a great location, and great food! Mextreme is an easy walk from most of the hotel zone and a $1 bus ride if you prefer. It's located on the northern "elbow" along with 50 million or so souvenir shops and a bunch of other restaurants. It's aimed at tourists and I'm sure I spotted a few locals eating there as well. My girlfriend and I walked here one day for drinks and lunch and drinks. The margaritas were generous and tasty. The beer was cold and beer-like. The fajitas were exceptionally tasty and suitable for at least two people. The place was clean and everyone there seemed to foster a fun attitude. One highlight was the server coming out with your drinks balanced on his head. Mexextreme isn't elegant by any stretch and is a place that you will enjoy. I did and the next time I'm staying in the Hotel Zone I'll be back for more. read more

Kids really wanted tacos. Overall experience was just average - portions were on the small size relative to the price, service was just average but most insulting was waiter second-guessing our bill and started to claim that we hadn't put enough USD to cover the bill despite adding on a 20% tip. He apologized once he realized the mistake but it just affirmed that customer service isn't their strong suit. There is no shortage of Mexican restaurants in Cancun - go anywhere else. read more

From food to entertainment everything was great and well prepared food came super authentic

Great, upbeat spot. The service and food was good and the drinks were delicious. Some of the servers are able to serve up to 4 margaritas on their head which was neat to see. They have a live mariachi band, this is just an overall good time. We spent around $80 for 2 people which is priciest for Mexican but the atmosphere was worth it, it's ok to splurge a little on vacation! I highly recommend! read more

The best part of Mextreme was the service. Marian was so nice and pleasant with us and made us fantastic guac. We loved the man that carried all of the drinks over on his head too.

We actually came here twice during our stay in Cancun. First time we came here it was a 3 star experience. We were literally standing right in front of the place when we were undecided on a quick bite to eat and decided to give them another shot and were promptly awarded with another 3 star experience. lol (+) Fun, festive atmosphere with employees that are pretty friendly! Slow...but friendly. (+/-) Food was pretty good, for the most part. Nothing really blew me away. Nothing made me hurl and curse my bad luck either. Chicken Burrito and Taco Party were high points, IMO. (-) On my second trip we were given our usual complimentary chips and salsa, same as last time. A few moments later, our waitress brought us a serving of guacamole and chips as well. I'm not a big guac fan, but it felt like a nice touch. It ends up we were charged 79 pesos for that, even though we never ordered it. 79 pesos is about $4.25 USD. I'm not going to complain or have a hissy fit over $4.25, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. This place was alright. I wouldn't make it a destination spot, but if you find yourself here and are in need of a bite to eat, it will get the job done. 3 stars. A-Ok. read more

People pretty much go here for the entertainment I assume. A lot going on at all times. Servers seem more focused on entertaining than providing good service to the customers, likely not their fault but the managements. The food took about 45-55 minutes to come out, and was absolutely tasteless. Not a hint of flavor in any of the items we bought. Seems like food you serve drunk people who don't realize how bad the food really is. So incredibly disappointed. read more

I like to study the restaurants in the area where I will be vacationing before I go and Mextreme was one of the three or four restaurants in Cancun that really stood out. They seemed consistently popular for their food, service and atmosphere. It was not a coincidence that we had to nearly force our way through an already congested alley lined with empty restaurants, their desperate waiters crowding the walkway, while they attempted to con you into stopping at their establishments with cheap drinks and empty promises while their aggressive advances made you want to run as far away as possible. It seems that the soft sale is close to nonexistent in this part of the world and, while they may be able to force an occasional patron to stop, over pressuring people is not a good way to get repeat business. Fortunately, Mextreme is everything these restaurants are not. Their warm, relaxing approach, while rare in this part of the world, appears to be very successful and they tend to be consistently full and often have a line of waiting customers to show for it. We were seated at a nice outdoor table where a gentle breeze serve us well as a natural air conditioner. The night began with chips and a small variety of delicious salsas. Then our drinks were delivered to our table balanced on the waiter's head. We ordered their special guacamole, which is made at your table, for an appetizer and I ordered shrimp diablo while Ida ordered vegetable fajitas. The shrimp diablo was not actually on the menu but I had seen it in a very old picture attached to a review. Sometimes it pays to ask. Our wonderful waitress explained that no one had ordered shrimp diablo in something like four years and she was one of the only people that had been there long enough to remember how to make it. First our waitress brought out a rolling tray full of fresh avocados and the other ingredients to make our guacamole and the style she used to create our masterpiece was almost as awesome as the guacamole itself. I must admit, there was also something else very special about this guacamole, the avocados down there were amazingly delicious. I love avocados and these may have been the best I have ever eaten. Our guacamole was beyond amazing. Ida's order was delivered and then our waitress brought out another cart with all of the ingredients for my shrimp diablo and proceeded to create a masterpiece. Her professionalism and showmanship were mesmerizing and she even warned me when to get my camera ready for the perfect Kodak moment when the whole dish burst into an amazing giant flame. Not only was my Diablo shrimp fun to watch being made, it was extremely delicious and I completely savored every bite. Immediately after creating my culinary masterpiece before my eyes, our waitress hurried to join the others in a very entertaining dance routine. I wanted to order bananas flambé to finish off the evening but we were way too full so we headed back to our hotel for a night cap. I know this review is already long so I will quickly just say we returned for breakfast and I ordered a traditional Yucatan breakfast of cochinita pibil tacos and added a side order of sunnyside up eggs that came with beans and rice. It was by far my favorite breakfast while in Mexico. We also ordered a plate of fruit and Ida had some eggs with mole sauce she really loved. read more

Came here today for both breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was tasty and the service was good, but dinner was very good. Ordered the chicken enchiladas and they were delicious. The chix cooked perfectly and covered with the most delicious red sauce I ever had. Also ordered the pastor tacos...very good! and a side of refried beans that I also recommend. They have entertainment, a mariachi band and other music throughout the night. I enjoyed it read more

Had so much fun at this restaurant with its lively vibe! We sat outside, the decorations, service, and culture of the place really created an amazing and fun dine in service! Our drinks were carried out atop a server's head, talk about balance skills! Such a great show! The blended pina colada is yummyyy!! We ordered the grand mocajete to share, the shrimp, steak, and chicken in here are flavorful and cooked so well!! Great combination! Comes with tortilla and beans! We also ordered the fresh made table side guacamole - they cut up avocados, add in tomatoes, cilantro, and cheese and mash it all up by your table side!! Seriously, freshest guac I've ever had! Their thickly cut deep fried chips pairs so nicely with their red and green salsa- again, very fresh!! The green one was my favorite! Such a yummy, great, and fun experience. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Could've been 5 stars but they forgot my birthday cake sparkler that they gave everyone else on their slice of cake. AND they didn't turn off the lights & didn't give my whole table sombreros but the other tables did!! Although the server that balanced 3 margs on his head was lit & her deserves 5 stars. The service was on point except that sparkler lol... read more

This place is REALLY touristy! If that's not what you're in the mood for, go somewhere else for sure. Get out of the Hotel Zone, tbh. The food was so/so and the hostess told us that we wouldn't get our food or drink without a 40 minute wait (which ended up not being true so I'm confused as to why she told us this?). If you have a big group, there are large tables and a spacious seating area...so it is an option as long as you don't care about kitchy tourist stuff. If you order the Sexy Margarita, the server will bring it to you ON HER HEAD which is actually pretty hysterical and the drink itself is pretty decent. But to me, I would rather something more authentic and less catered to American tourists. All music the music I heard was in English. read more
