    Half chicken
    Pamela R.

    The food was really good especially the chicken and the asparagus which did take a little bit of time to come so be ready to wait 25 minutes for it to be made but it is the best chicken you'll have. As for the spaghetti and meatballs the meatballs were undercooked spaghetti was quite good.

    My core group of work friends sat in Wolfgang Puck in the Cancun airport surrounded by our carry-on bags, fighting for our lives after a 4 day company trip to an All Inclusive Resort. All Inclusive will really take it out of you. Work trips are always a movie, with pending questions that will inevitably be answered. Who is going to make a fool of themselves? Who is actually way cooler outside of the office? Who is going to just talk about work the entire time? Are those 2 people that always flirt finally going to get together? My expectations for this meal were beyond low, as nothing has let me down as consistently as a meal at the airport. So, you could imagine my absolute shock when this Turkey Club ($21) came and was actually STACKED with an ample amount of fresh turkey, crispy bacon, avocado, and tomato slammed between two pieces of quality sourdough bread. This is likely the best meal I have had at an airport this decade. Shoutout to my guy Wolfgang, he's still got it... IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

    Salmon
    Diego P.

    Surprisingly amazing airport food! We ate at The Kitchen Counter by Wolfgang Puck while waiting for our flight out of Cancun, and honestly, it blew us away. The fish and chips were fantastic the fish was tender and flaky, and the batter was perfectly crispy without being greasy. The salmon dish was another standout cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear and great flavor. We also had the fried calamari, which was super light and crispy, and that jalapeño aioli it came with. Incredible added just the right kick. You wouldn't expect food this fresh and well-prepared inside an airport, but this spot is seriously impressive. Highly recommend if you're flying out of Cancun and want a great meal before your flight!

    Smashed the half of chicken.

    The food is excellent, however, the service is lacking. I had the roasted chicken which was tender and well seasoned. I sat at the bar and although there were 3 to 4 servers, they mostly spent a lot of time talking to themselves instead of paying attention to my needs.

    Veggie burger and Mediterranean salad. Not too chintzy on their fries, but maybe they don't believe in ketchup in Mexico.

    Cancun airport terminal 4 might not have too many choices to sit down, especially when you have too much time before your flight. I'd actually say this is maybe the most comfortable place to sit and therefore would give it four stars for ambience -maybe 3 1/2 for comfort. Between choosing this and tequila and sushi(scammy place), and Margaritaville as the ones to sit down in their exclusive restaurants. I still think this might be the best choice. Of course the food sucks. they give you a little piece of ketchup in a thing. When you're a prisoner at the airport, it's best that you don't have to eat or spend too much time there unless maybe you're in the vip lounge- idk it's a weird one. Here's a picture of an uninspired Mediterranean salad and a veggie burger. It ain't cheap but service is decent and at least you have a smaller crowd presumably because of the prices. You would think that wolf can puck gourmet food but it seems he's just happy to make a quick Wolfgang buck. I'm sure. Honestly, I enjoyed the peace and quiet in the contained space so I won't trash it, but I'm not singing any praises either .

    Cheesecake
    Aleka P.

    I would skip Wolfgang puck next time. We had a sweet craving and had both desserts. The cheesecake was good and rich, but there was too much of the strawberry topping. The strawberry ice cream that came with it tasted freezer burned which was not impressive for a $13 USD dessert. The brownie Sunday was decent, not too much of a flavor explosion, just your basic brownie. Our server was friendly and the restaurant has a nice ambiance, but the desserts are underwhelming.

    Breakfast place in the airport!
    Kelsey M.

    This place has delicious breakfast sandwiches and they are huge! My husband and I ordered two but we could have split one for sure. It was greasy off their stove and absolutely delicious. If I'm ever back at this airport I'll be excited for this place again!

    Tuna salad sandwich
    Lorri D.

    My husband had a ham sandwich and asked what side (fries, salad, etc). I ordered a tuna sandwich and also asked what side. We each also got a Diet Coke. Total was $60 USD!!! Turns out the salad didn't come with it. Ok maybe our bad...maybe miscommunication. But then I opened my sandwich and saw tuna on one half...ok. Then the other half had barely any. More like melted cheese and lettuce. When I brought up that the other half of my sandwich and barely any tuna, I was told that was the portion. Kind of like, too bad so sad. Sorry not sorry you paid $60 for one sandwich and a half sandwich. Chances are slim I would go to any other WP restaurant after that. Luckily the one half of my sandwich tasted good!

    This place was rated one of the 15 top airport restaurans in the world by Forbes. We were hungry so decided to eat here so we could sit and relax while having our lunch. We got seated by the bar in a comfy seat with views of the TVs. Our waiter was excellent and provided fast and friendly service. The food was excellent! I loved my chicken Caesar wrap served with fries! My husband really enjoyed his pizza with ham. Lots of wine choices. I settled for a nice rose which was great and my husband had a few light beers. Charging stations below the seats too! what more could you ask for!

    The price for the this horchata cocktail was expensive but worth it to me because this was some of the best horchata I have ever had in my life. Is it me or is it the alcohol in it talking? Either way it was so delicious. This place is located inside the airport. It has a few chairs at the bar you can chill at or get it to go and walk around the airport with it. The bartender I had was super friendly. Great service.

    Almond milk latte with a personal touch :)
    Amanda F.

    Patient and helpful service. They will bring it out to your table. Lots of options for coffee, just ask for a menu. The latte was not on the menu but is on their electronic menu. They have a selection of "milks", soy, almond, regular, and coconut! Awesome. They have hot food items for breakfast and lunch. They also have a grab and go section if you're in a rush. This place is before security though but it's nice if you've got time before you check in. It's right next to Starbucks in the delta departures terminal 3.

    Seafood pasta
    Krista C.

    Chill atmosphere!! Great food. If you're at Cancun airport this a great pick!! Great service and you can't beat it!!

    Avocado toast with over-easy egg and "jamón serrano"  a late coffee and ready to takeoff..
    Carlos R.

    Classic place with a good amount of options of food. The service as expected courteous and customer focused mindset. A relax ambience where you are treated well.

    The restaurant "The Kitchen Counter" has a broken Capp machine. Bad service. They don't care.

    Our pizza was delicious! Fresh avocado, soft dough with a nice crunch on the bottom, and the BBQ chicken sauce had great flavor.

Maybe I was just starving. After walking around to every place in my concourse area I found out restaurants in this area are not Pescatarian friendly. After 20 minutes I said forget it, let me order this food to go so I don't miss my flight. I asked the lady helping me what was her favorite fish dish and she told me the Salmon dish. I went ahead and ordered it and I didn't expect it to be good. I patiently waited for my food to go and I looked around looking at everyone else's food wondering if I made the right decision. Cool vibes were coming from the restaurant dinning area and bar area. My food finally arrived and as I walked to my gate I wondered what I would eat at my next layover. BABY, BABY, BABY, that dish was the best food I had all week long. I wanted to go back and get another one for dinner the next night. All I'm saying is don't sleep on this dish cause it's AMAZING!!!
