Some may be turned away from the older look of the place but trust me, it will be the most delicious food you will find on the island. I would even say, it was the best fish tacos I have ever had in my life. The fish was moist, plentiful, and seasoned perfectly. The place is literally a shack with some tables in front of it, but the menu is good sized and the prices are decent. The strawberry mojito I had was the best I have ever had. I will dream of it for a long time. The guacamole was so delicious. Service was fast and kind. I loved this place and if I ever find myself on the island again, it will be my first stop.

My twin sis, mother, and I have made a tradition to coming to Cancun for thanksgiving every year and this time I brought my girlfriend and we absolutely loved it. The guacamole was amazing. Freshest I've ever had and the quaint dimly lit atmosphere created a memorably intimate experience. I enjoyed the crab legs, octopus, and more. This place is definitely one of the bucle list places for Cancun so I highly recommend since it's on the back bay and overlooks the water.

The atmosphere is lively, upscale, and clearly designed for people who want dinner to feel like a whole event. Food wise, this is where things fell a bit short for me. I ordered the spicy Maine lobster croquettes, ribeye steak (the smallest) Chambao potatoes and potato mille feuille, and shrimp. While the flavors were there, the dishes came out lukewarm, which was disappointing especially given the price point and wait time for food. At this level, temperature and execution really matter. The food wasn't bad, but for what we paid, I honestly expected more. For comparison, I could have had a stronger overall meal in the Seaport area of Boston at a similar or even lower price point. That said, if you're going for the experience, ambiance, music, and top tier staff, Chambao hits the mark. Just know that the food may not fully match the hype or cost. Overall: Amazing vibe and service, solid flavors, but execution didn't quite justify the price.

Totally different view of the lagoon, and much quieter and quaint than the usual hotel zone restaurants. I've been to France a few times, but to my preference, this place has my favorite hollandaise sauce to date! Salmon was fresh and cooked as requested. Hubs had a great filet with peppercorn sauce. It's a small place, and a little harder to find (10 min walk to hotel though)(3 minute Uber). Worth every penny!!! Gator wasn't out tonight, he's probably on the other side of lagoon.

Her attitude was as though she was a teenager forced by we dad to work tables and was so pissed she was taking it out on every customer. Haha. I get people have bad days and want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but not at the expense of my dinner. This spot is not easy to find either, down a side street and through a hotel lobby, which is pretty cool as it seems like a 'secret spot'. Bring some chum and throw it over the railing when staff isn't looking and maybe one of the local lagoon dinosaurs will visit you (if you have a small child just have them dip their toes in the water and wiggle them a bit)

Make sure to make a reservation in advance, especially for Thursday through the weekend. We visited at 8:30 and we felt like it was the perfect time because a lot of the performances began around nine. The service is top-notch. From putting the napkin in your lap to arranging a miniature coat rack to hang your jacket, they pay attention to detail. Not to mention, though the atmosphere takes priority here, the food was also very good. We ordered a steak and the shrimp risotto. The shrimp were colossal. I have never seen shrimp so big. Most of their specialty cocktails are quite acidic and that night I was craving whiskey so I ordered an old-fashioned and it was also very good. I would say this spot in particular is well known for big groups and bachelorette dinners. It is quite loud, so keep that in mind. It's also in line with other nice restaurants in Tulum regarding price, but we felt it was worth it. Lastly, make a note that they charge for water so you're not surprised when you get the bill.

We also tried to order fish tacos, which weren't available either. I did order a drink that was both cute and delicious, so that was definitely a highlight (snaps for that). Unfortunately, my burger came out very undercooked, and I wasn't asked how I wanted it prepared. I ended up paying $40 for something I couldn't eat, which was frustrating. I really wish there had been better communication about what was available and a bit more attention to how food was prepared.
