 Great food at a tree house
I have 3 different kind of restaurants in my list: fancy, mid tear and cheap -be ware that I do not mean "poor" when I say "cheap" nor "excellent" when I say "fancy"-. So Marakame is in the mid tier list. And it is at the top of the list. It is not one of those super luxurious restaurants you'll find at the hotel zone, but it IS reaaaaally good. The place is very nice, surrounded with plants, the building made out of wood is like being in a tree house. The service is fast and they take care of every detail. They do care about their customers. Hubby had a warm tomato soup and an "arrachera" (flank steak) which had a baked potato, fried beans, guacamole and pico de gallo sauce for sides. I ordered a Capresse salad which was as huge and delicious as the soup, and the Cordon Bleu chicken with steamed veggies as the second course. The dishes are biiiig for people with small stomachs, but we also enjoyed a small strawberry tart wich was prepared at the moment and an splendid Baileys coffee. The prices are perfect for what you get, about $40 USD for two people, drinks included (bear and orange juice). They also have a breakfast and a dinner buffet which we're willing to try very soon.

 Beautiful restaurant and delish smoothies
My boyfriend and I ate here for a breakfast and we were not disappointed. Definitely try a fruit smoothie here! The restaurant is like a massive tree house and beautifully decorated with plants. I felt that the service was very attentive and polite.

 Great place at Cancun´s Downtown
Great place to have breakfast in the middle of local trees, plants and everything made of local wood. There is also live music on weekend. We tried the sundays brunch for 168 pesos and we were very satisfied. It includes all kind of fruits, cereals, mexican snacks, chilaquiles of course :-) fresh made juices and even the so called

 Great place to have breakfast lunch or dinner
Excellent service and very good food. Friendly, speaks good English and highly recommend. It was a five minute taxi ride and well worth it. Live music every night for couples and families. Breakfast Buffett, Fresh juices, fresh fruit and all kinds of entrees. We will be back.

 Lazy Sunday Brunch
Just the way Sunday brunch should be...relaxed and chill with good, easy music. Only went here for brunch and the place was filled with locals. Not a single tourist in sight. The outdoor dining area was really great and felt like you were in someone's garden. The brunch buffet was a pretty decent size and the food was good. The food was solid local food and very much like what I've had in other Mexican cities. The live music was spot on... nice easy acoustic guitar. If you're looking for a loud, clubby, boozey brunch then this is NOT your spot. Staff and managers were attentive and friendly. Be sure to try to make reservations for outdoor seating. It was packed on a nice day. And yes, you should tip about 15%-20%. I've learned that they depend on this for their wages.

 Brunch with the locals
Can’t say it enough: get out of the hotelzone and enjoy better food for better prices. Enjoy brunch at Marakame cafe and munch on tacos, eggs, and quesadillas the way they should be. Coffee and fresh fruit juice included. There is a nice quirky terrace and a guy playing guitar and singing without being too loud.

 Excellent Restaurant
This is an excellent restaurant. I would suggest a nighttime visit for the best atmosphere. The food is excellent, the wait staff is superior and cater to your needs. The menu is good, although it could be a little more extensive, but they had what I liked, so I can't complain. The wine list was also good. Live music after 9PM. Highly recommended.

 Cute restaurant with lively atmosphere
Marakame was the very first restaurant my family and I went to just after landing in Cancun for our vacation. The restaurant immediately drew our attention with its colors, live music, and indoor/outdoor seating areas. Our server Alfonso, was very attentive and friendly. Thank you for being patient with our big crazy family, Alfonso! Even though it was our first food stop of our 5 day trip, looking back it was one of our favorites and most memorable because of the great food and service. Thanks for the hospitality!

 Marakame, gotta visit it while in Cancun
Great restaurant. I always come here every time I get to Cancun, which is often. Great service, great food, not cheap, but well worth it. It is pretty close to the big hotel Ibis. About 1/3 of a mile behind the big Ibis. It is a restaurant in a tree, well kind of. Live music, but not too loud, so you can talk. Great place to bring a girl on a date too.

Love the decoration and the food. It's amazing to chill here. Really like the signature salad. The only down side is that it's not located on the hotel zone. But it's a gem and I recommend it to my friends to visit.

Brunch, music, conviviality, quality food and excellent service. That's all you need. I often come to get their fondue that is excellent but today I went for breakfast and I wasnt disapointed neither. Fast service although I wasn't alone and their manager is always here trying to givr that extra care that is always welcome !

 Romantic...Food Not So Much
The restaurant at night is nicely light decorated embracing a romantic feel to it. There was live music to add to the atmosphere. However, the food was not as good as one would expect. It is not bad, but it is not something you would consider returning to. Try this restaurant as a couple at least once. The service was good and a balcony table maximizes your experience with a nice view.

The food is ok, I may say just average, nothing outstanding. The "charme" of the place is the outdoor sitting... Last time I went the music was very loud and it took way to much time to serve a couple of drinks and appetizers.

 Great Juices and acceptable food
Marakame is on a secondary road, set back from the main tourist areas within Cancun, but is within a short walk of some of the less holiday holidays, such as the Ibis.It consists of a large external seating area on two levels, in front of a more conventional restaurant are on each floor. Service was a little iffy (dishes were brought up to the floor but not delivered quickly to our table), but overall the food wasn't too bad. There's an English language menu, but they don't seem to have many copies of it, and it doesn't make it clear which dishes are only served at breakfast time. There was a reasonable range of salads, pasta, pizzas, and few more typical Mexican dishes in the evening. However the best feature are the juices which, although not terribly cheap, mix all sorts of leaves, including sweet basil (albahaca), chaya (tree spinach) and nopal (cactus), alongside more or less exotic fruit such as mango, kiwi or pepino. I had a basil, spinach and mango one which was, well, err, interesting.

 Good food, slow service
The good on this place is tasteful and enjoyable. The ambience is nice and refreshing.... The music is really well selected. Found this place by mistake.. We went next to the mini golf area... And decided to eat first... The drinks are the best part. And I loved the place. For those coffee lovers... They will keep the coffee coming on and on and on...

 Delicious food, bad ending
Our night at the Marakame restaurant started off amazingly with a great atmosphere, beautiful setting and live music. The service was very quick. We had cheese and spinach empanadas to start and they were devine! I had the seafood pasta which was beautifully cooked but could of had more flavour. The cocktails were beautifully presented, tasted lovely but lacked alcohol? Our bill was very cheap for the service and the food and drinks that we enjoyed! However... when it came to money the waiter was very persistent that we gave him more tip.. he became quite rude and kept asking for more. We paid in pesos but he wanted the tip to be in American dollars (which we didn’t have as we are British)? Such a shame for a lovely romantic meal for 2 to be ruined by being hassled for more tip. I would still recommend the restaurant despite this little slip.

 Well established and scenic restaurant
Went here with my family and really enjoyed it. The menu is large so they have a little bit of everything and it was well put together in total. The scenery of the restaurant feels local and well thought out with a lot of detail in the design without looking too gimmicky. The restaurant wasn't overcrowded with tourists but you can still ask for a menu in English. Not a bad restaurant to get away from the Cancun Beach strip. Took a little while to receive the food but it was good nonthelessPlus live music when we went!

I live close by of this restaurant, and I get to go with different group of persons, either friends, coworkers and even as a romantic dinner, it suits to every occasion, and if you come from a foreign place, it is another option to know more about casual and nice places in Cancun, Mexico .

 Sweet
A friend invited me to lunch at Marakame, but do to a plane delay we arrived just before the buffet was about to close. No problem the waiter said and he was right. Everything was still fresh so that the late comers enjoyed the same as the early birds. The salad was crisp, though I missed my blue cheese dressing. The meats were tender and flavorful and the soups were to die for. They ran short of pastries. but the waiter brought others fresh from the kitchen right to the table. This is now one of my favorite lunch spots. Nice to relax and truly enjoy a meal after the flight in.

Visited with friends for Sunday Brunch, there is a decent variety of food. Barbacoa is good for Cancun standards,ask the lady of the quesadillas for freshly made tortillas to accompany it, quesadillas are tasty, however mole tamales not impressed by. The service is good , and the atmosphere is very inviting. Will return.

I live close by of this restaurant, and I get to go with different group of persons, either friends, coworkers and even as a romantic dinner, it suits to every occasion, and if you come from a foreign place, it is another option to know more about casual and nice places in Cancun, Mexico . I think #zazshares

 Sweet
A friend invited me to lunch at Marakame, but do to a plane delay we arrived just before the buffet was about to close. No problem the waiter said and he was right. Everything was still fresh so that the late comers enjoyed the same as the early birds. The salad was crisp, though I missed my blue cheese dressing. The meats were tender and flavorful and the soups were to die for. They ran short of pastries. but the waiter brought others fresh from the kitchen right to the table. This is now one of my favorite lunch spots. Nice to relax and truly enjoy a meal after the flight in.

 Lovely restaurant
The restaurant is lovely and is made around a tree. Go in the evening for the lovely lightning. The food is good and the menu has variety. They have live music on some evenings

 Nice place, variety of food
Visited with friends for Sunday Brunch, there is a decent variety of food. Barbacoa is good for Cancun standards,ask the lady of the quesadillas for freshly made tortillas to accompany it, quesadillas are tasty, however mole tamales not impressed by. The service is good , and the atmosphere is very inviting. Will return.

 Wonderful atmosphere
A friend invite me to have a drink, and the atmosphere, the staff and the food was very good, I would say wonderful. The perfect place to take a meal, chat or drink a cup, with a very good band of live music, without the noise of other more recognized places in Cancun area. Definitely I would recommend this place.

 Great place with awesome food and great Staff
We came to dinner from the"zona hotelera", the food is wonderful and it is not pricy. The Staff is absolutely outstanding and friendly. Only if the band that was playing could do some happier songs, the musicians were good and the female singer a great voice; however all the sad songs about bad or ending relationships were very unnecessary, one felt like crying quite a few times during what should have been a great happy vacation dinner... Will sure return hoping for happy songs...

 Loved the tree house feel.
We came for breakfast. It was very enjoyable. I had chiliquiles with a chili sauce. It was very good. The service was attentive. I would love to come back for dinner, it has to be beautiful at night.

 Breakfast at a local place
Gotta love the internet - really allows you to find places a little off the beaten track. Great outdoor seating in Cancun proper ( not hotel Zone). It had a nice right up so we tried it. Service was pleasant and helpful atmosphere was nice - but it was just a very basic buffet breakfast. Seemed like a dinner / lunch place that extended hours to breakfast - but they don't seem really "breakfast ready". So - nice - ok and very reasonable. But not what we were looking for.

 Slow service
The restaurant is really cute and has a nice open terrace and a floor. Nice green surroundings! The service was so slow. The food was good though the sandwich bread was really low quality! Would go back though!

I love going here on a Friday night when the music can be enjoyed under the twinkling lights in the trees that over top the outdoor garden. The service can be slow and the food is unremarkable, but if you are there for a pleasant evening with friends and drinks, this could be for you. Their Sangria is excellent!

 Nice place, food ok, service slow.
Popped in here with a couple of colleagues recently. It's a nice place, attractive and with a good atmosphere. The food was good, but I found the range of choice rather disappointing. Although it was quiet when we visited, early evening, the service was slow. Despite the negatives, I would go back.

The restaurant is cozy with a great atmosphere but services and food was just ok. I'd recommend the outside tables.

this restaurant was the best tasting when it opened 5 years ago..they must have changed the main chef for upstairs...the morning and lunch was not good down stairs then..now it is all changed but all I want is the chef who was here back then..yes it was slow because of all the stairs but it was fantastic..now they just do not have it..the music is fun the looks is nice but once you taste the drinks and exotic pizzas and food they once had you can not handle how bad it is now...bring back the original chef and we all will come back.....

came for breakfast buffet today, friday- good food at a good price but I take issue with the fact that they wouldn't let my party of four sit outside (the outside areas was in use with people both inside and outside). First, the host claimed it was a smoking area and children are not allowed and as we had our 7 year old we couldn't sit there. When we pressed further and highlighted the fact no one was smoking we were told by this host it is a LAW. When we pressed further and asked other staff they admitted it wasn't law but their own policy. When we pressed further they said children sit there all the time at especially at the weekend. Too bad it took the whole meal for them to admit that the host just made up a rule on the spot and the others supported it to help her save face. Won't be back for that reason. (it wasn't a language issue because our party speaks Spanish..just a host on a power trip :-( )

 Very poor service
The place looked nice and had nice music and ambiance. There were more waiters than customers and it still took ten minutes for our order to be taken. They all just stood around chatting until I finally got ones attention. I had the blue pear pizza which was fairly average but points for being different. My plate was covered in tree clippings and the waiter watched me clean it myself never offering to replace it. Cancun is pretty bad in general and this is just another example.

 The worst place to eat on Cancún
First of all, the service is extremely low and actually poor for a place that is nice from the outside. Aditionally, we ordered an Enchiladas and a Chilaquiles and the cheese was deciduous... And believe nothing can be worse than a rotten meal, but when we asked to the manager about a solution, he just asked: "Ok. Would you like to order other thing?" We said no, and he anyways charged us both dishes on the account. A terrible experience because of a disgutig meal and a pathetic manager.

 Beautiful Place, Average Food and Service
I really love the atmosphere of this place. I don't like the idea of waiting almost 40 minutes for an appetizer with an empty empty restaurant. The ambience is really nice, the singer was very attentive and kind, we loved his voice. About the main course, one of us was serve first and the rest of the group 20 minutes later (what the waiter was thinking?). Lack of quality with the plates, I had the grilled octopus; it was very greasy, the corn is pre-cocked or frozen, bat taste. The pizza totally pale with an almost raw pasta. I highly recommend you to improve food since you have a privileged location and atmosphere.

 Rude , slow , forgetful and full of excuses
You must be joking , such a beautiful place absolutely ruined by hostile and argumentative staff . One waiter was on top of his business but he was the only one and not mine. I will never return , not even to use the restroom. My waiter began arguing with me over how to pronounce a type of cheese , apparently he felt the need to argue with me on the correct way to pronounce its name , yes , correct for someone who doesn't know any better , but to raise his voice and argue ...... Unbelievable , food was just awful , cold , took more than 30 min to give my wife a burned , cold omelet with the wrong ingredients. Was this revenge from the waiter ? My eggs were undercooked , beans were cold , bacon also cold. Then when it began to rain our waiter hid inside and left us to gather everything . What a jerk .
