Nice, upscale Mexican restaurant at the Moon Palace golf course. Cocktails are great along with a respectable wine list. Lime soup is a staple and the chicharon tacos are a good starter. Mains are good too. Don't think TexMex but authentic Mexican. Service is great. read more

One of our favorite restaurants while vacationing at Moon Palace Resorts. Had dinner reservations for the late evening and arrived about 30 minutes early. We checked in and after waiting for a few minutes, we were seated early. It didn't take us long after looking at the menu to start with appetizers and drinks. FOOD: Drinks: Tequila Mule Wine Antojitos/Appetizers: Pork Belly Tacos Chaya Empanadas Main Course: Conchinita Pibil Yucatan Steak My Mom's Beef Steak Dessert: Cheese cake Ice cream Mayan Coffee...(IYKYK) OVERALL: Delicious food, great staff, and wonderful service. read more

Gustavo was superb, an excellent server. Scenic little jaunt from the hotel great food, perfect last night in Cancun

Made reservations for dinner and the restaurant and drive to the restaurant through the golf course was a nice and scenic ride. Gets a little crowded at the front where you check in, just make sure you stay right as that is the restaurant check in and not the Italian restaurant on the left hand side. Food was really good. It's Mexican food, but you can taste subtle differences with the Yucatán influence with some of the items on the menu. The lime soup was really good and refreshing. So was the salpicon. Cochinita pobil and beef steak were also really good when you make tacos with them with the fresh and hot corn tortillas. Overall, a good meal, excellent service, and nice and strong alcoholic drinks. If you're staying at the resort, give this place a shot. read more

This place was one or two exceptions that we had kick ass service food and atmosphere at the same time. It was a damn good experience we had for dinner here. The staff were SUPER friendly, welcoming and funny as you can see in one of my videos. I was having liquid diet myself that night so I didn't eat much but I did have a bowl of their fantastic tortilla soup. That was probably the most flavorful tortilla soup I ever had and what better place to have it than Mexico. The service was phenomenal. This would be a restaurant I would hit up again if we ever go back to Moon Palace. read more

They have freshly made tortillas in-house. The food was all really fresh and the staff was attentive. The vibe is a bit nicer and its reservation only for dinner. I thought it was a nice change of pace and the golf cart ride there went through the beautiful scenery. Great spot to try! read more

We ate here last night and it never disappoints! The Mayan coffee was a highlight too. Our service was amazing and three people took absolutely fantastic care of us--anticipating everything we might want or need! Finally, the homemade tortillas and watching the woman make them right there in front of us was extraordinary. read more

We thought this place was delicious. Outside of the main resort and you need a ride to get there - it was a little adventure right off the resort and we loved it. Handmade tortillas by a sweet lady. Sweet, serene atmosphere for lunch. Quiet with lots and lots of awesome options. We tried some veggie and meat dishes and everything was pretty tasty. The drinks we had were top notch as well. If you are coming from the spa everything is super nourishing and light on the menu as well. read more

Just say yes to Moon Palace and this wonderful restaurant with Mayan influenced cuisine. Let's put it this way, we at there 2 days in a row and they have a woman in the restaurant who's only job is to make from scratch tortillas that come to the table fresh & warm. From the Conchinita Pibil, slow cooked Yucatán style shredded pork, Sour lime soup, homemade tortilla chips to the pork belly taco everything was delicious. Add in great/friendly service & a tamarind margarita and you have a fiesta. read more

Fun little lunch or dinner spot at the Moon Palace Golf Course. Lots of tequila and mezcal choices. Be prepared they don't hold back here.... I actually had to water down my cocktail a tad. If you've had a hot day on the course start with an ice cold Pilsner and work you way up to the smoky mezcal. Be specific on your choice of booze. They have the good stuff. Fresh tortillas as made in house and actually by a lady sitting in the main dining room. The smell is amazing. We enjoyed the guacamole, queso relleno, mother's beans, and sea bass. read more

I am not sure if I liked this place or not. So I don't think I will write much. But the staff is nice. Restroom is located in the adjacent Italian restaurant. I do know I won't be coming back. It's just not my taste of food. read more

Super disappointed we spent the time commuting to this restaurant to receive such poor service. Many tables were open.so I'm.not sure why it took so long for everything. We were not.offered drink menus, had to ask, were not offered any recommendations and once we ordered it was another 40 minutes to receive food. Other tables got up and left before receiving their meals or desserts. We found out the next day the same food offerings were on the buffet in the Nizuc dining area. Wish we would have known this in advance read more

So this place looks like they have agreement with Moon Palace in Cancun and anyone reserving dinner through them have some kind of biased menu and / or limited service offering. Firstly limited to no veg options and the guy's behavior seating a group of 8 and taking menu order was first signal towards bad service. Hoped food would be great with authentic Mexican cuisine- well disappointing. After seating, we asked if they could get some guac and chips to go along their cocktails, the guy rudely responded something like - "not every part of Mexico guac is served" or "we don't call it guacamole" and started to enlighten about Mexico. That was a odd moment as we all wanted to try some authentic avocados (which appeared to rare dish at many places)..perhaps like in the Netflix show "avacados" are like gold in MX. The decor and location (inside a lush golf course with an adjoining Italian restaurant too) was awesome and had nice handmade tortilla baskets on the wall. A tortilla lady in one corner making fresh hand rolled small sized tortilla was impressive and a guy playing some live music who disappeared after some time though. It was the food..that didn't make the cut. Now I am not sure if their standard menu offering may be good. It was a 3 course dinner, soup/salad (we all opted soup- blah), chicken ad fish dishes, no veg options). And they didn't offer dessert menu until we had to ask for one as we had teens who were eager for some dessert to fill up instead. read more

Tonight was our second time here - the food is amazing and our waiter tonight, Cesar, was the best we've had at the resort in our two trips. I highly recommend Rivera Maya - the food is amazing and the drinks are fab; the fantastic service is the cherry on our sundae! Edit - I should add that we have three kiddos and they also loved the food! read more

Set on the golf course at Sunrise Moon Palace, the Riviera Maya restaurant is a nice change from the normal Mayan/Mexican restaurant. Unique in it's offered menu choices, the food is delicious. This well hidden gem is not frequented by many guests since it is on the golf course away from the main resorts. Well worth the short ride over though. We shared the crepes for breakfast and oh my were they a gastric treat! The breakfast tacos were filled with plenty of egg and chicken, topped with pickled onion and verde sauce. The flavor was delightful. The omelet was special ordered and exactly as requested, almost too filling! The guacamole is some of the best we have ever had, fresh and chunky. For lunch we had the lime soup, which was so tasty, I could have eaten a whole pot of it, the flavor is so good. Mama's beefsteak was tender and so tasty, a serving large enough for two people. We will order this again. The chicken negro with egg was also very good, the meat tender, the sauce an interesting addition and the egg was prepared with a mix of vegetables. Definitely visit Riviera Maya for lunch or breakfast when at Sunrise moon Palace. read more

Meh. This restaurant boosts that it is authentic Mexican., but with a twist. It was just ok. The food was somewhat inventive, but pretty tasteless. There are much better restaurants (steakhouseJ that are much better read more

Second time here at this restaurant. I have to say it's by far the best tasting food you'll ever have! The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you're having the best experience possible. read more

My family is from Yucatán and we grew up eating Mayan food. After my great grandmas passing we didn't get that same comfort of her food for a long time. Even though we can cook it, it's not the same. Not only did they take especially good care of us and offer amazing service, the food was AMAZING!! Hands down the best meal I've ever had and truly authentic. The only time I have ever been to a restaurant and loved everything I ordered. Didn't even want to leave! can't wait to return read more

Went there with a group of 16people and most of us enjoyed. However I felt that this was clearly one of the weaker restaurants in the Grand Palace Resort with the food being good but not outstanding for my personal taste. read more

My boyfriend and I always make reservations for this restaurant and La Trattoria. The service is impeccable. You feel so special from the moment you walk in. On my recent visit in August, the staff was made aware that I did not eat red meat or pork. I knew there was plenty on the menu I could choose from having been before but our server graciously made recommendations and even brought out a few special appetizers I could enjoy sans meat. The Margarita of the day was apricot and was also fantastic! We downed several while feasting on apps, soups, and our meal. I had sea bass cooked in banana leaves. It was a little dry but still edible. We were stuffed and couldn't manage dessert but we've had the flan in the past and it was excellent. If you're staying at Moon Palace do yourself a favor and make a reservation, take the quick golf cart ride to the restaurant and ENJOY! read more

I'm not sure why they insist on reservations - this restaurant was hardly packed at 6 pm - but I will confirm the service was impeccable (multiple servers at one table). The food was by far the tastiest I've had onsite (well, maybe it's second to Trattoria). Order the papaya dessert. It may sound strange, but it's tasty(almost tastes like pumpkin pie). The tacos and nachos with pulled pork are delicious!!! I think this place is underrated - they keep talking about the other restaurants, but it's good for at least one night.... read more

I was not thoroughly impressed with my meal here. My appetizer seemed to have excessive amounts of cilantro and I am not a fan of cilantro. Once I got to my entrée, I found the pork chop to be delicious but not filling. The portion size was too small that I had maybe 5 bites before I finished. I actually went to another restaurant immediately afterwards in order to fill my stomach. read more

Service was the best I experienced out of all the restaurants at Moon Palace (possibly with the exception of Gondola but we went there at an odd time when it was pretty empty). The food was excellent. I got the lamb chops but our table ordered each entree and they were all very good. read more

On the borders far better than this place. Service was horrible, we came in with reservation @8:30 and got our appetizers at 9:30pm. Chicken Tortilla soup was sour. Appetizers were bland. Margaritas were watered down. read more

Best restaurant in cancun. Excellent service and incredible food. David the manager is outstanding. Thanks for making our vacation amazing
