Popped in for a quick drink while waiting for my flight! Nice chill spot, I love that they had plugs at the table to recharge while you dine & wait!
Killed 2 hours at the Cancún airport like a man--with a fork in my hand. Decided to post up at Wolfgang Puck Kitchen and honestly... worth every minute. Started strong with French fries (dangerously good) and fried calamari with jalapeño aioli that had just the right kick. Respect. Main event: Pad Thai -- flat rice noodles, eggs, tofu, shrimp, that sweet-savory-tangy tamarind magic, peanuts, bean sprouts, lime... absolute airport overachievement. Closed it out with cheesecake, strawberries, cream, strawberry ice cream, and cinnamon because vacations don't count calories. Service? On point. Flight delayed? Didn't care. I'd miss boarding for that Pad Thai again.
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__
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!
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.
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 .
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.
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!
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.
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.

Stopped for some food on our 8 hour plane delay back to the states. We used our food vouchers to get some pizza 60 dollars worth of food vouchers got us two personal pizzas and a water lol. Not a great start. The pizza was super runny and the cheese fell right off, the pepperoni was better than the Margherita as that didn't happen. Overall it wasn't terrible but nothing to rave about. read more
To be honest, I was not expecting much since we are at an airport. I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation and flavor of our dish. I got the avocado toast. Highly recommend! Everything that came out (for other patrons) looked so so good, as well. To be honest, that's the best food I have had since I have been in Cancun for a trip. Per the last 7 days. Service was absolutely great and the bar had plenty of seating. Lunch looks amazing and if I ever came back to this airport around lunchtime, I know exactly where I would be heading!! Thank you for the lovely experience!! read more

Well, it's the airport.. what do you expect, right? Well I would've expected french fries that were crispy and had the Parmesan on them that they promised in the menu That really tasted like real potatoes and not frozen ones. I mean, it is Wolfgang Puck after all. Food is adequate if your hungry you can eat it. read more

I stumbled upon this while waiting to depart Cancun. I was happy to see it because I remembered the Wolfgang Puck restaurant in Chicago's O'Hare Airport that I liked, so I went in. I hoped they had pizza (even though it was in the morning, but heck, I'll eat a pizza anytime), but no luck. They have healthy options with a Mexican flair and the prices are no more expensive than any of the other food options (I almost said "dining options", but it's an airport...). read more

A tasty woodfired pizza. They asked if I wanted tomatos or spinach on it, which confused me. I said tomatos and that ended up costing more but tasted good. read more

Healthy Yelpers tip for you. Don't get caught inside the terminal wondering what you are going to eat. Wolfgang Puck, yes that guy, has a healthy alternative just opposite the delta counter. Save yourself calories and indigestion. Food is actually pretty close to his other places. read more

Terribly disappointing. Salad was over dressed and under seasoned. Two stars only because I like the concept of a spinach abs quinoa salad but this was very poorly executed. read more
