    Margaritas with a water view
    Krista V.

    This location is at Plaza La Isla. They have an air conditioned place and an open air place around the corner looking at the water. We chose the location looking at the water. It was really cool and relaxing. We came here for lunch and got margaritas and tacos, yum! Service was good and everyone was nice!

    Came here for a dinner and got the Tampicarne and churros. Tasty meal, although a little more expensive than what I was expecting. Nice location in the mall area with good ambiance. Service was good.

    Margaritas of any flavor.  Mine was watermelon

    This is an excellent budget friendly Mexican restaurant with pretty tasty tacos, huge fun drinks, and quick service for very reasonable prices. This restaurant has 3 different dining area - on the water, an outdoor cantina/bar area, and an air conditioned indoor restaurant. The menu is extensive but my favorite is the 8 taco sampler. It gives you pork, chicken, sirloin, and the original. The margaritas are huge with varying flavors. Lunch and drinks was about $40, including tip. And we had a lot of food. It's not fancy dining. It is classic Mexican tacos in a great location with fun vibes.

    We came here after enjoying the mall, on our last full day in Cancun. We contemplated going to the Brazilian steakhouse but we ended up here and it was very good. I got a virgin peach margarita and it was very good. I'd prefer salt instead of tajin on the rim but tajin seemed to be the standard everywhere. Husband got a coffee margarita he said it was very good. The staff was very friendly and our food came out quick! It was tasty.

    Pretty descent food for Mexican tourist food. Of course don't expect authentic Mexican food and Mexican prices. Very nice view and service

    Cool down stop with Mescalita's and chips
    Jason Y.

    In a very touristy shopping area. Probably one of the better stops you can have. Lots of tequila(margaritas) and mezcal drinks. Food was ok.

    We were tired and thirsty by walking for couple of hours at the mall. When we went to this restaurant they immediately greeted us and took us to our table. The restaurant is my the water so had nice view. They were playing 90s pop music and I personally loved the atmosphere! Their service was excellent and very prompt. We ordered a mocktail which was super refreshing! All our items arrived in less than 20 minutes and each item was delicious. Definitely recommend this place

    Grande margarita
    Stephen W.

    We visited the shopping mall La Isla and found this restaurant near the water. It was right next to La Parilla where we ate two years ago. The vibe is very friendly and laid back. But laid back does not mean inattentive service. We seated ourselves by the water and immediately a waiter appeared. The drink menu is large but he guided us through the mezcals, which the wife ultimately settled upon while I a traditional lime-based margarita. I had a grande which in retrospect is not the right choice because it is very large and by the time you get to the end the ice has melted and the flavor is watered down. Note for next time. You get free chips and salsas to start. There were three different colors of tortilla chips and they were not greasy at all. The salsas go from mango, which is sweet, to red which is spicy but not incendiary, to Serrano which is incendiary. The wife loved the red while the kid and I liked the mango. The Serrano was too hot for us. The menu is huge so it took a while for us to digest it all (no pun intended). We started with shrimp ceviche and it was good but not the best I have had. The shrimp were a bit tough and there were no jalapeños in the pico. It was still good but not outstanding. For entrees, the kid had chicken tenders and they were outstanding. The batter was light and not greasy. The chicken was tender and moist. The fries were crispy. She ate almost everything. The wife had some kind of shrimp dish with garlic sauce and it was exceptionally good. The flavors were intense but not too spicy. She loved it. The shrimp were fresh and did not taste fishy. I had Burria tacos with beef which I never had before. By this point I was already full so I could not eat the 8 quarters. There was a great broth for dipping. The beef seemed like it was brisket or oxtail, it was not ground beef. I really liked the tacos and although I have nothing to compare them to, they seemed really well done. We had churros for dessert and they were very different than what we get in Dallas. These were thinner and denser. You get two dipping sauces, caramel and chocolate. We finished them off and said we would not eat the next day as we waddled out of the restaurant. Our servers were friendly and helpful. Food came out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. We had a beautiful view of the sunset and many people were on the pier taking pictures. Overall, it was a really fun experience with great food and service. Next time in Cancun we are returning for sure.

    Review for Tacos y Tequila, La Isla Cancun Grabbed a quick late bite at Tacos y Tequila in La Isla Cancun. A great experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The menu offered a variety of dishes from different regions of Mexico. The tacos were bursting with flavor, each bite delicious. The tortillas, were made fresh right in front of your eyes, and you could truly taste the difference. They were soft, warm, and the perfect vessel for mouth watering fillings. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The restaurant sits right on the water with great views of the lagoon. While it was after dark on this visit, we've seen fantastic sunsets from here. Likewise no tequila on this night, but previous visits found the tequila as good as the tacos. Highly recommended!

    My goodness the food and drinks here were fantastic and location is hard to beat. We sat right on the water and had a beautiful meal watching the sunset. Our waiter was great and the prices were fantastic too. Food was awesome best fajitas and refried beans I've ever had! We wanted to keep coming back but had to try other places too. They are located right in the lagoon in the Isla shopping mall. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available!

    Taco sampler

    Tried 8 taco sampler and had the watermelon margarita and michelada. Ambiance is great and friendly service

    Complimentary salsa with the upsell chips and guacamole.
    Alan P.

    Nice location as you enter the mall. Chips and guacamole upsell is perfect to accompany street tacos and margaritas. 5 star service / 4 star meal and margaritas, at a reasonable price.

    Roxanne D.

    Ok..... I am totally in love with this place. The service was great. The drinks were amazing. And the food was outstanding. I had Pastor Tacos. OMG..... they were so good. The flavor of the Pastor was so good. I am hooked and will definitely return when I am in Cancun. The bonus was that my non taco loving husband loved his sirloin tacos. He really did. So all in all it was a win win for us.

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. I had the skirt steak tacos and my friend got fish tacos, We also ordered a frozen margarita and mojito that were huge!!!!! The prices were fair for what you get and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. The music is not too loud so you can have a conversation with your group. They are not pushy to get you in and out like other places. Will definitely be back

    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 :)
