Fantastic food - amazing drinks!
Our first night in Cancun (Saturday, October 7), the hotel recommended this spot as we were at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach - right around the corner. easy enough to find & a quick walk. David was our server, and he was great. He modified our orders for our kids as requested - my son wanted the grilled cheese pot, but chorizo on the side - my daughter wanted the chicken/cheese burrito without the bell peppers, I wanted NOTHING with cilantro on it. He didn't give us grief, took our orders with a smile. Husband and I split the Mexican grill platter for 2 - basically an ENORMOUS plate of food with all kinds of grilled meats. DELICIOUS!! There were some veggies too to roll up in tortillas. Yum.We started with the mango mojito. OMG. SO GOOD. That was what we thought until I ordered the original mojito. Outstanding. They are HUGE, they are STRONG, and they are DELICIOUS! They do pack a punch, so I suggest only 1 :-)Kids were begging to go back again, David told us his nights off, and we ended up going back on Wednesday, and found out David was off that night. Our waiter that night was equally attentive & they were kind to switch our grill order when I realized I ordered the Mixed grill, but thought I was ordering the Mexican grill (Mixed has fish/seafood - of which I am allergic), so totally my fault, but they were very kind & put in the order I originally wanted. I was very appreciative of that! They have waiters dance here & there, which was cute. The first night, they dragged my husband & daughter to dance, they enjoyed that & my son enjoyed videoing it! The all have pretty good heads too - we have a picture of a waiter carrying 3 cocktails & a beer ON HIS HEAD!! Sure, it's kitchsy, but so much fun!The food really was delightful - you will NOT leave hungry (if you do, it's your fault)!! I highly recommend it - especially for the cocktails!
