Our famiy has been visiting Cancun for 13 years and this is our favorite restaurant. The staff welcomes us as treasured friends each year. The servers are helpful and friendly while not being obtrusive. Our children love the tableside magician and mairachi band and we love that they happy and eating and entertained as we enjoy our dinner.
The waiter was trying to sell us the house fajitas (for 2) but completely changed his attitude after he found out that my wife was a vegetarian and could only order two vegetarian appetizers on the menu (there was nothing in the entrees). During the entire evening, he never came back to check on us. When he presented us the check, he did not even ...
it was our last night in cancun and we wanted some good authentic mexican food. their house fajitas were terrible, the appetizers so-so and very small, and carne asada was tough and flavorless. wish we skipped it.

Not True Mexican Food
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/13/05
I have been involved in Mexican cooking for more than 50 years and this menue appeals to the North American taste. It what you see on Cooking Channels at home. Your best bet is to experience the restaurants in downtown Cancun. Most Mexicans can,t afford what this place puts on the menue. We have been to Cancun more than a dozen times,we enjoy the people and find the Hotel Zone nothing more than tourist trap!

Lively and Romantic!

Upon entering the restaurant, the staff was extremely courteous. The dinning experience was such that if I ever visit Cancun again, I will definately put El Mortero I my must do list.
