    Patty with our drinks
    Dan G.

    Another awesome experience at Mextreme. Eddy, our server, was phenomenal. Always attentive to our needs and really his service was excellent. Of course, the reason we always come to Mextreme is the food. The food is delicious (carnitas, enchiladas, and Molcajetes). Don't forget those Margaritas and I had a double shot with chaser.

    Mole enchiladas
    Lee Z.

    Food was not bad. Fajitas were decent. Mole enchiladas were a but sweeter than I would like. Bu We sat outside. It wasnt that crowded. Service was attentive and pleasant. A lively atmosphere. An overall nice experience.

    Tikin Xic fillet
    Tony L.

    【Background】 Sunday, April 27, 2025, ~8:15 PM After flying into Cancun and checking into my hotel, I was hungry for my first meal in Mexico. There weren't too many options near me, but I had Mextreme saved from an article on The Infatuation [1], and a post on the Cancun subreddit also recommended it. So my friends and I decided to visit for dinner. The reviews weren't kidding about the ambiance being (M)extremely lively. The restaurant has outdoor seating with colorful furniture and string lights hanging overhead. Loud music played in the background. Employees walked around the tables, offering huge sombreros for customers to wear while eating. If a table orders drinks, an employee will come out and balance them on their head. The restaurant really focuses on the entertainment factor, and it seemed to be working since it was pretty busy with a good number of customers. 【Food】 Menu: https://en.mextrememexico.com/menu/ I ordered: * Mextreme nachos ($219 MXN) We got nachos for the table. (We ordered this before we found out they bring out complimentary chips and salsa.) The crispy tortilla chips were layered with an assortment of traditional toppings like cheese, beans, guacamole, and jalapeños. Keep in mind that this order doesn't come with any meat protein. Flavorwise, the nachos were typical, but at least the portion was pretty big. * Tikin Xic fillet ($259 MXN) While scanning the menu, I noticed they actually offered Tikin Xic, and I had to try it since it's a pretty famous Yucatan dish [2]. The white fish filet is marinated with achiote and traditional regional spices before being roasted on the grill. It was served with soft bell peppers and tomatoes on top. Sides included a lightly salted mixture of broccoli, carrots, and Mexican squash along with a small mound of rice. I'm not sure if this restaurant prepares the Tikin Xic in the most authentic manner, but the fish was flaky and flavorful, and the vegetables added a nice, healthy feel to the meal. * Daiquiri, mango (forgot to write down the price) If you like sweet drinks, then you'll like the mango daiquiri. The drink wasn't strong, and I could barely taste the alcohol, but I enjoyed the mango flavor and the tajin rim. My friends mentioned their drinks were not strong either, so order a beer if you want something with guaranteed alcohol content. Overall, the food and drinks were good. Mextreme had pretty good prices for the Zona Hotelera. For a party of 4, the total pre-tip cost was $1777 MXN ( ~$91 USD), which was relatively affordable since we each ordered an entree, a water, and a drink and shared the nachos. The dishes would've definitely cost more in America (at least in California). 【Service】 The staff were friendly, especially when trying to persuade random passengers walking by to come into the restaurant. Our waiter was quick in taking our order. However, service went downhill after that since the food and drinks took forever to come out. We all ended up ordering drinks, and it was a bit of a weird experience since they played "Gangnam Style" by Psy while an employee came out and balanced the drinks on his head. I wouldn't say this incident was due to racism but maybe just ignorance since we're not even Korean. The slow service combined with that unusual experience did not leave a good impression. 【Tips】 Be careful of their scam. Since I was paying with my credit card, our waiter brought out a card reader. He automatically gave himself a 15% tip and had the audacity to say that tip wasn't included even though we could clearly see the receipt already had $266.55 MXN next to "Propina." Other Yelp reviews also mentioned the same thing happened to them, so be careful and double-check your receipt to make sure you don't tip twice. ---------- [1] https://www.theinfatuation.com/cancun/guides/best-restaurants-cancun-mexico [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikin_Xic

    Chicken mole
    Scott J.

    Solid Mexican food. Great staff. Went here on vacation and sat on patio w my wife. The fresh chips went well w the spicy smoky dip and avocado dip. We ordered chicken mole and molcajete. The chicken mole was too chocolate forward for me as was blend of sweet and savory. could have been correct but not for my taste. The molcajete was a unique serving technique but then just grilled bits in it. We liked the chicken, onion, etc. overall an ok dish. Staff was playful and fun. Is a good bright place to eat if you are near.

    Had dinner with friends. Not a lot of people but sure was alot of fun.!! Food was so good. Serves was great. Lots of laugh

    Justin J.

    Good vibes, food was great! Loud music with a singer. Definitely coming back. I highly recommend the skillet plate with everything

    Cochinita pibil
    Gregg C.

    Food was excellent which made up for a few hiccups in service but ils all good! Fun atmosphere, friendly people, food is fantastic and well priced. Don't let the tourist vibe fool you the food is legit! Great cochinita pibil and waiter does an amazing stunt balancing multiple full marg glasses on his head and delivers them tableside. Manager extremely personable. Grab a big sombrero from the chair a Margarita from the bar and enjoy your vacation dinner here!

    Sombrero Hour! All drinks are served on someone's head!

    INCREDIBLE!!! Everything about this place was a 5/5! The servers, food, drinks, atmosphere were all amazing. They have a big menu, great drinks, engaging servers and ambiance and everyone is beyond friendly, helpful and welcoming. Would do anything to go back!

    Andrew C.

    Tourist trap? Kind of..... Great food? Absolutely. The BEST fried shrimp tacos I've ever had. Crisp and a bit sweet. Not overly greasy. Get the house habanero sauce on the side and you'll be glad you did. Great experience overall.

    Table side guac...the new 2023 standard!
    Heather E.

    The epitome of touristy (along with every other restaurant in this area). Not the most authentic but they still try. Great space for large parties- the patio is HUGE. We came in a party of 5 after dinner for snacks and drinks. Music was loud (great music selection playing 90s & 2000s hits). If you're looking for a quiet sit down dinner- this is not for you. More like dinner before the night galavanting begins. If you order a margarita they'll provide entertainment for you by carrying it on their heads and making you dance for them when they arrive at your table. Who doesn't live a little entertainment right?! We only came in for a few snacks and drinks so I can't speak for the entrees. We got the table side guacamole, pastor tacos, chicken tacos & nachos. I was super excited about the table side guacamole but my suggestions is to skip. Le sigh. Absolutely no flavor. Fresh ingredients? Yes. No lime juice, seasoning, nada. Tomatoes, onions & cilantro can only get you so far... The chips were nothing special which made the nachos just meh. Nachos came out cold so that wasn't ideal. Pastor tacos had flavor but no wow factor. Also skip the chicken tacos. Margaritas were okay. We got mango & strawberry with a tajin rim. The syrup ratio to tequila just didn't do it for us. WAY too sweet. Le sigh again. We really wanted to love this place. We loved the ambiance and the aesthetics and would come back for a drink on the patio but that's it. Their menu is huge. Several pages. Kind of overwhelming honestly. But silver linings- hopefully there's something for everyone?!

    Yash T.

    TLDR: Fun ambience, good food, good drinks Tried Mextreme and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. They have a unique way of serving their Margheritas. The nachos were decently good and drinks could do with some more alcohol seems watered down

    Outside
    Sara S.

    This place is full or colors, the staff is nice and the food comes out SO fast. It's a fun place to eat outdoors in, in the middle of all the action. I was happy they had a vegetarian aztec soup and some vegetarian options (quesadilla with poblano peppers). Negative: the music was SOOOOOOO loud and 95% of it was american songs... why?! This place is made for american tourists thats for sure.

    Kevin W.

    This is a good place to grab some food. Came here for breakfast twice. The french toast is pretty good and comes with jelly. The mexican omellete is decent. I prefer the bowl with scrambled eggs and ham. Fresh juice here is pretty good.

Once we stepped onto the deck overlooking the lagoon, the whole experience elevated even further. The scenery was stunning, soft lights reflecting off the water, a gentle breeze, and live music drifting through the air like the perfect soundtrack to an already unforgettable night. Then came the food, each dish was its own little masterpiece. The bread service alone set the tone: warm, golden rolls with just the right touch off salt. The wedge salad followed. It was crisp, cold, and generously dressed, with smoky bacon and bright tomatoes adding all the right contrasts. The dry-aged steak was the star of the table, cooked perfectly with that deep, rich flavor only dry-aging can create. The roasted peppers and silky sauce on the side made every bite feel intentional. The octopus was another standout, tender, beautifully charred, and plated with a vibrant puree that balanced the dish with a touch of sweetness. One of the best plates we had. The table got more entrees since there were 8 of us but didn't get pictures. Sea brass was another favorite. Even the lobster soup arrived with flair: a velvety bowl paired with a seafood-topped toast that brought texture and richness together in one elegant bite. The beef tartare with fries was classic and fresh, refined without losing its fun. Dessert turned into a full performance. The liquid-nitrogen ice cream came with swirling clouds of cold vapor, dramatic and delicious. The birthday cake arrived crowned with berries and a sparkling candle that lit up the whole table. And just when we thought the night couldn't get any more whimsical, out came the towering blue cotton candy, playful, over-the-top, and impossible not to smile at. Harry's doesn't just serve dinner. It creates an experience, one where the service, the scenery, the atmosphere, and the food all work together to make you feel celebrated. Our night felt luxurious, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable for my husband's 50th birthday! Well done Harry's!

We loved it so much, we ended up here twice in the same week. The service is outstanding here and you can tell they pride themselves on customer service. Before the meal, they do drop off bread with dipping sauces, garlic, and butter. The perfect appetizer. One reason I love this place is the salads. They are big enough for split for 2 and I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options. Personally, the cesar salad is my favorite. What I love about this salad, is they make the dressing right in front of you. Definitely a cool and unique experience. The first time, I ordered the tuna steak. It comes with a soy sauce and a garlic butter. These two sauces on the tuna makes for an incredible meal. I cannot say enough good things about this entree! The second night we went my boyfriend and I split the Cesar salad and the skirt steak. We also added on a side of mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The whole meal was delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite part because everything tasted so good. Splitting this was the perfect meal for two people and we even had a bit left over to snack on the next day. I always have a wonderful experience with even better food when I come here. If you happen to be in the area this is a must stop.

This place was recommended by our butler at the hotel, and honestly, we should have just gone with our original choice instead of coming here.

I ordered the seafood spaghetti, and every single clam came out closed. The mussels were ridiculously small, there was barely any other seafood in the dish, and for the price they charge, it honestly feels like a complete rip-off. The show is entertaining, but the entertainment is better than the food, in my opinion. On top of that, the sodas we were served were flat and appeared to be expired, which is completely unacceptable. This has easily been the worst dining experience I've had since being here. The atmosphere may look nice, but that does not make up for poor-quality food, questionable drinks, and prices that do not match what you're actually getting.
