    Premium tacos and a speedy service. Try the burger, pretty good. Fun atmosphere. Good place for a quick bite and to get a little drunk!

    Bri B.

    Quick and delicious! We were so happy to find volcanes after discovering them last year. They did not disappoint. Will definitely be coming back during our stay. Prices are nice and affordable. Do have English menus available.

    18% tip written to the bill. Shady practices of management.

    SKIP THIS Restaurant. It's a rainy day and it's close to my hotel so I let my daughter pick this place. Should have heed the Yelp review. Open air seating looking at the street. Be careful. Guac and chip is not complimentary. Tacos are below average. Chorizo is dry. So many servers but service is slow.18% tip is written on the bill (not printed) and waiter insisted on that even after I questioned the amount. Just leave me a bad taste. This must be a scam practice of the business owner forcing down the waiters. Hence 1 star review

    Carrillo was excellent in his service and offered great recommendations. We were amazed by the variety of sauces. The complimentary nachos and guacamole was delicious. Loved the tacos: shrimp, fish and Pastor. Horchata was a good choice to balance the spiciness of the tacos. Grilled banana dessert looked interesting. We were too full to try this time ;)

    Tacos Pastor !

    Service was excellent. Food was really tasty. Very reasonable priced and nice atmosphere. The only drawback was that it's very noisy!!! Right on the main drag! And man did it sound and feel like a drag strip!! We were worried about a bus or car swerving and coming right into the tables. Other than that excellent.

    Manager, Cesar, is extremely rude.

    0 stars. Don't waste your time here. The manager Cesar was extremely rude to my family. I would warn you if you're colored (POC) because he seemed racist. I knew something was off when we patiently waited over 30 minutes even though the restaurant was empty and Cesar didn't acknowledge us. There were 2 other parties who ordered and got their food fast before we can even order drinks and water. When he finally started to take our order, he didn't allow my mom to finish speaking and moved on to the next. He ended up canceling our order and took our menus away when she tried ordering again and refused to serve us. We ended up at another Taqueria down the street called La Chinampa who provided us with quick and great service. I'm really disappointed because the food looks great but not worth the negative treatment.

    Jarritos! & tacos Al pastor!

    Best thing we ate in Cancun! Great bang for your buck AND the food was delicious. Must order: queso fundido with chorizo, fish tacos, Al pastor tacos, churros, horchata Queso fundido with chorizo: delicious and cheesy, oily but out of this world. Came with tortillas Fish tacos: perfectly fried and seasoned. Other joints don't salt or season their fish tacos. The chipotle sauce pairs perfectly Al pastor: best taco meat. Comes with pineapple slices Churros: freshly fried, Dulce de leche is delicious Sauces: they have a variety of salsas that range from mild to spicy. Add so much flavor to the tacos Skip: carne asada, banana with Dulce de leche, skip the chocolate for churros and get Dulce de leche Customer service: amazing. Fast, friendly Bathrooms on site Fed 8 people for $80 USD Highly recommend. So good we had to come back a second time before we left!

    Clarification: We went to a different Taqueria Los Chachalacos but it is only 7-10 min drive away from this location. Ambiance: 5/5 Very casual. Loved the atmosphere. Music was not too loud and we got a table at the front. Service: 5/5 Once we were seated, the waitress came by and immediately started to take our order. Food: 6/5 Started off the meal with chips and an assortment of salsas. We got (free?) refills of the chips and salsas when we ran out- don't quote me on the free refill though. BEST TACOS we had on our three day trip. The al pastor taco was just good but I loved the chunk of fresh pineapple. The chorizo taco was spectacular and full of spices and rich flavors, but my hands-down winner was the shrimp taco and the fish taco. It was so tender and well battered. If you have shrimp/shellfish allergies, I'd recommend to be careful ordering the fish tacos as I believe they use the same fryer and frying oil for shrimp tacos. I dream of that shrimp taco still to this day. Also, I insist you have the flan. It is a must try.

    Price/quality (4/4): I came here on more than 1 occasion and ordered multiple different items, including 2 soups and most if not all of the tacos on the menu. They were all amazing. The drinks were great too. Service (1/1): Service was friendly and effective. Would I come here again: If I go to Cancun again, absolutely.

    This is a smaller place in a plaza, so blink and you'll miss it. I started with a margarita as…read moreusual. 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

    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.
