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.

But what makes it the most amazing place is the people. McGiver has been our favorite bartender here for the last 5 years. He always remembers us, he comes up with the most interesting and delightful new drinks, and he is very personable. Yaer is newer (3 years lol) but introduced me to my new go-to drink, the Hugo spritz, and he is the sweetest bartender. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Location is excellent: a short taxi/ Uber ride from Presidente InterContinental Cancun resort…read more Service: our group of about 18 adults were greeted politely and efficiently as we checked in for our private party. You will pass through a metal detector and asked if you are carrying in any food or drinks ( not allowed) EVENT SPACES: The groom had reserved two private cabanas overlooking a semi private pool just steps from the beach. There was ample shade provided by sturdy patio III umbrellas, private casitas, each seating 10 adults. ATMOSPHERE: Common areas are look tired in the day light. I'm sure that the flaws are masked by the pool lights once the sun sets. Our private party was at the far end of the club; a 10x14' pool flanked by patio furniture in one side and 5 private cabanas on the other. The cabanas were set up living room style with a sofa, coffee table and cabinets for personal belongings. The view from one of the casitas was oceanfront making a lovely backdrop for photos. The music was obnoxiously loud most of the time with pounding bass. Our crowd was celebrating the Grooms and they a great time. In our case, the grooms were running a tab- open bar and order from an extensive bar menu. FOOD: Well presented and the guests seemed to enjoy it. My allergies were an obstacle to most of the menu, but I enjoyed the fruit OUR SERVERS were amazing. Taking orders and finding the guests was like wrangling cats but somehow they did an amazing job. This please is really suited for a 25-40 year old crowd. You know: the clubbing set. Would I recommend it for an older group? No. Was the event successful? The grooms were pleased, so we were also.

This is one of several dinner cruises that you will find offered in Cancun. They advertise it like…read moreit is a show, but it is extremely cheesy and tacky. Basically, they have a group of performers dressed up as pirates and the captain (dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow without Disney's permission) makes random conversation making fun of his crew members, asking the audience where they are from, with simple dancing and lots of party music playing. They also play drinking games with the audience. The captain speaks in both English and Spanish so everyone is included. However, nothing he says is that interesting. It is mainly just an excuse to get everyone to drink and dance. The only part where they put a lot of effort and practice into it was a big choreographed sword fight at the end. Food was okay, though slightly limited due to being on a boat. Not recommended.

RUN AWAY Not enough bad words to describe this tour…read more Packed like cattle. Literally no where to sit. No organization. People were literally standing up eating dinner because there were not enough seats. Buffet style line.. The "show" takes place on the center of the main deck. Most people have to watch the show via TV monitors posted around the ship because there is not adequate seating in the viewing area. When we boarded the ship we were directed upstairs. We went up and discovered there were no seats. I asked the crew where we were supposed to sit, the crew member just shrugged shoulders . I was given ONE drink during the entire 3 hours. Oh, I booked on line to avoid lines . But was placed in a 45 minute line when I arrived so I could pay the mandatory 14 dollar docking fee. Why wasn't this included with my purchase?!

Food was below expectations, I would consider this a bar with below average bar food. Sat down to order food but was told they don't serve food until 6P. We decided to have drinks and wait for the food. As 6P approached the waiter said maybe 7P they will start. At this point it's like pay for the drinks and try again. Ordered a Mango Daquiri which was very tasty and unique. It had tamarindo on the rim and at the bottom of the drink. Flavor was definitely there. Also ordered two Don Julio shots for 70 pesos/ea. Cost is definitely reasonable. We left, but did come back later to try the food. We ordered the beach please combo which came with fries, cheese sticks, wings, and nachos. The fries were good along with the cheese sticks. Bars usually fry food decently. Nachos were basic and just not good. The nachos were toosalty and the cheese was awful. The wings were unique, but not in a good way. We went with BBQ instead of buffalo. The BBQ wings were cooked well, but beyond sweet. It tasted like the mixed tamarindo or chile limon in the sauce to give it a Mexican Twist, but it was not enjoyable. Bad combo for wings. We were they pretty early and planned to try again later at night to see if more people actually hang out there. But never got around to it.
