Loved this restaurant. Probably one of the nicest ones on the Island. Top quality food, and drinks. Whole place is modern with nice art on the walls and cool restrooms. There was 6 of us and we all got something different. But we did start with two orders of their guacamole. It was very tasty and refreshing. All the dishes were plated very nice and I loved my dish. I went with the Cochinita pibil, and I also got to try my boyfriends. He order the Carnitas. Our plates came with a few sides and blue corn tortillas. I did not get to try my friends dishes, but they were all satisfied with what they order. Staff was really nice and attentive. And we also got to meet the owner, Francisco. He was very sweet and even sent out a round of shots to our table. Perfect way to spice up our lunch meal. read more

The beef starter was fantasic...great Asian flavors! The drinks are good and the service is excellent. They had live music, which is always a plus. Our mains weren't anything worth mentioning, but I would come back to try some of the other starters! read more

Was able to book a birthday dinner for my friend via Facebook, which I am all for! They were quick to respond and included their own set of candles and were able to include the ones I brought as well. Staff was extremely flexible and made adjustments promptly and were really attentive. Food and drink presentations were exquisite and everything we tried we really enjoyed. Super cute place, would recommend and go back! read more

Xantolo just a few blocks away from main drag in the port is fantastic. Strongly recommend this place! Food selection and cocktails are truly unique and excellently prepared and presented. Xantolo also has an upscale feel to it, tucked in a quieter street up from the main drag which is noisy and tourist-trappy. Highlight of my trip to Cancun and Isla Mujeres. read more

This is a cool place, but the service at the bar was deplorable and rude. We were the only people seated at the bar. Others were having dinner in the restaurant. After ordering beers which were served rather gruffly, the bartender never looked at us again. Like, literally never made eye contact or acknowledged us in any way for the entire 30 mins we sat there. We literally had to track down and ask the bar back for our cuenta (bill) because the bartender refused to even glance our direction as she stood behind the bar doing nothing. We were prepared to order an expensive meal and cocktails, but based on the rudeness of the staff, we chose to spend our pesos elsewhere. You should also. read more

Service service service. Our little waitress was the cutest her name is Paz but language was a big barrier. She didn't know English or Spanish!!' Our bill and order were wrong. Took a long time in between dropping food off. Had to ask for napkins silverware. We stayed at Tres Mentiras I told her we get a 10% discount off our ticket. She didn't take it off they need to wear name tags too and they don't. Now the food itself was good. We ordered the arrecharra fries super yum I got the octopus cheviche also good. All in all I might give it a second shot next time. Maybe service will be on point read more

The food and service were amazing! Much better than the other places we tried on the island. We also got the Baja fish tacos but I forgot to take pictures of them but they were so good! I highly recommend checking out this place while visitin read more

You gotta come here!!!! The people are amazing and so is the food. So the great thing is we were looking for a parking spot (for the golf cart) and one of the bartenders came out and helped us. While this was great we're sitting and ordering our drinks and he comes by with my husband's phone. My husband had dropped it getting out of the golf cart and did not notice. This alone was sick a huge act of kindness that I just fell in love with the place. All the servers were helpful and funny. We got lucky and got the list few minutes of happy hour. I got the strawberry and mango daiquiris, both were good but that mango was my favorite. This is the day mu daughter fell in love with Tuna Tostadas, and after tasting a bit of hers I could see why. My husband devoured the fish tacos which were excellent. I had the most delicious stuffed peppers ever, which has now ruined me for the future. Cooked perfectly with a delicious dipping sauce and stuffed with a yummy duo of cheeses. Top notch guacamole. At the end of the day my husband said for the price hands down his favorite place we visited on the island. read more

Maybe the best vegan appetizer I've ever had was the mushroom ceviche. All of the food was great and the drinks were good too. The servers abs bartenders and support staff were on top of all of our needs. Someone was always wiping down the table since it was so hot and our drinks were sweating. I love this island and all of the great vegan/vegetarian options. This place stood out as some of the best food we had all week. The poblano was stuffed with sweet potatoes and topped with a rich sauce and vegan cheese shreds. So good! read more

Where do I begin? This was my first trip to Isla Mujeres and it won't be my last. My fiancé and I went to celebrate our engagement and we didn't know what to expect. We were greeted at Xantolo by Giovanni as we walked by. He was warm. Kind and you can see the smile in his eyes. We sat down and ordered two Piná coladas. They came in coconuts. The presentation was amazing. We ordered guacamole and chips for an appetizer and it was great! For the main course I ordered the steak and my fiancé ordered the lobster. Wow!! Not only was the food amazing but the presentation was perfect. You won't regret going here. We made a friend in Giovanni and keep in contact with him via social media. A wonderfully kind person. Be sure to ask for him when you go. read more

If you want a great spot to watch people, indulge in craft hand made margaritas with fresh made juices all the while having an entire wait staff who are both friendly, attentive, and expedient, this is the place! Our absolute favorite place on Isla Mujeres! Shrimp tacos are beyond delicious and the rib eye chunks with guacamole are to die for! We have never had a bad meal/snack here! Don't miss this gem! Staff are top notch! read more

Bad experience. I ordered water and soup. People next to me were paying shocked at their bill. They charge almost $6 US for a tiny bottle of Fiji water. As soon as my water came I said forget it. He wasn't even sure if the woman next to me had 2 or 3 bottles but was charging her for 3. I asked for the manager and there was none that night. Told them to forget my order and went down the street. I don't mind paying for 2, 3 $ for water on the Main Street but that is just bad business. When is the last time you had to ask how much bottled water costs in Mexico? read more

Awesome margaritas! And Hugo, the bartender, is the absolute best. The staff was all very friendly, and photo bombed us in the most hilarious way. read more

Had a great experience. This was our first time at this restaurant. My wife had a tortilla soup that was good. I had Barbacoa de Picana which was incredible. The flavors were amazing and loved the meal. Liza / Lay (spelling) provided some of the best service we have experienced while eating at several restaurants this past week. She was working on the evening of 5/11. Please give her our thanks. The restaurant had live music played by a band from Cuba. The atmosphere was festive and happy. Regular patrons were salsa dancing on the walkway in front of the restaurant which lent to the excitement. My wife and I had a smile on our face from the time we sat down to the time we left. Love Liza /Loya and love this restaurant. read more

We wanted to find a nice place to eat on our first night of our return trip to Isla Mujeres so naturally we checked out Yelp. Xantolo was highly recommended and looked like they had a decent crowd for a Sunday night. The staff was all very friendly. We had the guacamole and Verde enchiladas (and a few cervezas). Ask for some salsa with your guacamole and chips, they have some very spicy sauce (and a mild one as well). We had a good people watching table and the weather was perfect. We met one of the owners, Francisco, and he thanked us for eating there. He also told us about a new restaurant they just opened next door "Steak and Keg". (We went there after dinner for a drink - see that review if interested). We told Francisco that we discovered his restaurant using Yelp and he mentioned he hadn't checked Yelp out in a while. A few minutes later we heard him enticing others to come eat at their restaurant and used Yelp's high recommendations as a sales pitch. He was able to get several groups to stop and eat. He came over and thanked us for reminding him about Yelp and bought us a shot of mezcal. Overall- very good food and reasonable prices with great, friendly service. No downside and we will be going back during our stay. read more

Mouth-gasm! OMG! Michelin star quality food at a good price. Just fantastic flavors. Menu made me want to try everything. This place will have to double its prices as soon as people realize how amazing the food is. Ordered the ceviche mezcal and the slow cooked Yucatan pork ribs along with a passion fruit juice. Octopus and shrimp ceviche had a citrusy bite with plenty of sweet mangos to cut the red onions and other sharper flavors. Very fresh seafood. The mezcal flavor was there too. Best ceviche I've ever had in my life, and I have eaten it in many countries. Passion fruit (spiked with a little vodka) juice was fresh squeezed and just right for finishing a hot day with my meal. They have 2 for 1 margarita and other drink deal during happy hour from 5-7 but I didn't want to get that wasted by myself. :) The Yucatan pork ribs had a great mild spice rub. They were tougher than I expected but I also expected in-bone ribs. These were without bone. Home made cole slaw on top and melt in your mouth Spanish rice underneath. The meal that arrived was was HUGE after the well sized seafood appetizer, and could have fed two people comfortably for the amount of meat that came. The little melted fat pockets in the ribs were the best part. Could have been a little softer but that was the only downside I could say about the entire meal. I asked if they had any salsa and they brought my a dark green chipotle "medium" sauce that I can attest is gringo hot. Very flavorful and good. Gave the pork ribs more kick. Intentionally leaving room for dessert, I got the fresh churros and vanilla ice cream. Didn't disappoint either. Very good service. Didn't have to wait for the staff to find me. Overall excellent. TL:DR - fantastic fish and octopus ceviche with mango and mezcal. Come hungry and thirsty. read more
