    Veggie Burrito
    Vatche Y.

    **AVOID!!** Just had dinner here and although the night started early it ended with a VERY bad taste on my mouth. Waited dropped off chips and guacamole, then the beverages...didn't see him until the food came...and then once more when he brought the bill. So ONLY once between food and bill. Then, it came time to pay and he refused my AMEX saying the Machine "broke this morning." !!!CAUTION!!! If they tell you this lie, beware! Finally, I paid cash and he has the audacity to tell me I HAVE TO PAY 20% Tip? Our Bill was $118. I gave him $130 cash and he tells me I have to pay him more tip?!?! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! I Come to Cancun 4 to 5 times a year...first & last time here! PS: If you're from the management, feel free to pull up my receipt. You can contact me. Also, your waiter has sweaty arms and hands non-stop. I didn't say anything but getting "sweat" dropped on my receipt is disgusting!

    The food was good and the service was great! We got the molcajete, shrimp tacos, and chicken tacos. Was also nice eating by the water

    Excellent tacos! I tried a tiny bit of the habanero guacamole and it about killed me! LOL it was so spicy. Great service and great food for a quick luncheon. For sure will go back when in the area.

    In Cancun, and you're a tourist walking through the shopping center looking for somewhere to eat. You are going to be accosted from all sides about tours and activities and places to eat. Just keep it moving to get to the place you want to go. "No, gracias." One night though, we didn't have a specific place in mind and succumbed to the barkers from Taco Grill. Because I wanted tacos! It didn't hurt that it was a spectacular night and Taco Grill has a great view of the harbor and sunset. We ordered a couple drinks to get us started. I ordered the fish tacos (red snapper and grouper). They were delicious! If you like seafood, say YES to these tacos. They are fabulous. The dining experience was friendly and comfortable and the food was tasty. It is worth walking past the other barkers to get some taco here and watch the sunset.

    I think I walked by every single restaurant in the complex before deciding on this place. Everyone around is aggressive trying to get you in. This probably wasn't the best choice, but I wasn't too hungry and wanted something small. I ordered veggie tacos, it's not really on the menu but they said they could make it for me so I was like ok. Taco platter comes with three little tacos and a side of guacamole (at least mine did). The tacos were just OK, the price was reasonable.

    Complimentary Mexican salsa and sauce trays. Mix it to your taste and bite with chips

    Great Mexican food and a great fit for vegetarian and vegan. If you want to enjoy perfect mexican food in Cancun, this is the place. It comes with a great view of the waters and the activities going on there. They had a separate section in menu with vegan and vegatarian items, which suits people like me. I ate the vegetarian shell tacos and it tasted local, flavorful, yummy and awesome!!!! The waiters here are always smiling, spoke clear english and kept you treated well. They did have a great drink menu of beers, cocktails, tequila and much more. Separate menu for kids, but I recommend to get the rice and beans plate for kids as its local food and highly nutritious. If you are at La Isla shopping village and want to cool off, there is the perfect place!!! Good for solo, couple or families with kids too

    Good tacos! I got the shredded pork, and they were amazing! The spicy salsas are actually spicy too. I have a high tolerance for heat so mostly I don't believe restaurants when they say things are spicy. We were just in the area looking for food when we stopped here so it was just a spur of the moment thing. My sister got the fish tacos and really enjoyed them too. The restaurant has a good view of the harbor so we got to watch some other tourists doing things like jet packing and boating. Overall, a good place to grab a bite.

    Great Steak Tacos (On Flour tortilla by request) Note the grilled onion/pepper on the side=nice touch!)
    Randy B.

    We really enjoyed Taco Grill! (Cancun Mx) Superb steak tacos with a nice char, Tasty El Pastor tacos with excellently seasoned pork and tasty pina (pineapple) Finally superb grilled or fried fish tacos with a light n crunchy panko (no greasy beer batter here!) complete with fresh cabbage, cucumber and a spicy ranch! Excellent and plentiful toppings. Great view as it sits on the water (lagoon side) with active boating/water craft) We've had tacos at many many places including many "authentic" Mexican restaurants and we feel Taco Grill does a fantastic job of delivering flavorful Taco selections with top notch ingredients (No meat thats been sitting in stagnant grease water like so many "authentic" Taco shops in the STL area) I so wish this place was near my home!! Noting some complained about how loud it was, part of this comes from the "open" nature of this restaurant and the adjoining restaurants next to it (ie again its an open air/outdoor environment for obvious reasons=its beautiful weather/scenery Cancun) there is only a 4ft tall wall separating the restaurant next door (who's name escapes me) and the local Hooters which has music playing) As far as "Americanized" I would have to disagree more like "Quality-ized" (LOL is that a word?... likely not!) as all ingredients are top notch and the owner,waiter,staff are all umm Mexican and too love the food! (This "ain't Taco Hell!"

    My brother and I visited here twice during our stay. The tacos are tasty and the service is great. Make sure you watch the sunset and get two for one margaritas.

    Our drinks, Havana something on the left, and a mango Mojito on the right..

Waiters speak Spanish and English, are very friendly, and absolutely no wait for the waterfront table. The shrimp ceviche had so many shrimp with a tasty sweet sauce and avocado garnish. Guacamole was perfectly prepared, and all meals come with tortilla chips and a variety of salsas on a decorative boat tray. The tuna steak and Salmon with Lime Sauce were prepared perfectly and were both tasty and high quality. Sadly, the food was so delicious and filling we had no room to try the desserts. About a block away from the Isla Mall, but a much more authentic experience than the mall restaurants. A must-try dinner spot for seafood lovers in the Cancun hotel zone.

It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.

The menu is simple with just enough options to where everyone can find something they like.

    This was a bit of a walk from the Marriott Properties and Secrets which are across the street from…read moreFred's and Crab House but you will save 30 minutes each way by walking--the traffic is horrendous! All-in-all it was worth the inconvenience. Very eclectic menu, warm atmosphere and outstanding service. I started withe the Mango-Tamarind: Lettuce, Indian walnut, mango, blueberries, Cotija cheese, mango-habanero dressing and tamarind billet. Unique and tasty. "Swiss Chicken Enchiladas" for the main course was not what you get at a local Mexican joint -- Four tortillas stuffed with chicken, bathed in a creamy tomatillo sauce with melted cheese and a base of refried black beans. This was a 5-star dish! I couldn't resist ordering a side dish though I didn't need to because the enchiladas were really enough, so I indulged myself with fries: these were not your run of the mill French fries. Porfirio's Potatoes -- French fries with chipotle pepper aioli, parmesan cheese and parsley. Finally, if you like ice cream I highly recommend that you order BOTH offerings: 1) "ICE CREAM TASTING" - Strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream from Metate, marzipan ice cream and vanilla from Papantla. Served with grated coconut, chocolate grain, M&M's, Oreo cookies and ice cream cones; and, 2) "PORFIRIO'S MOLECULAR ICE CREAM" - served with cajeta Worcestershire sauce in an ice cream cone. (I know it sounds disgusting right? Nope it worked. The chef is just showing off with this dish)

    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.
