Cancun Travel and Vacation Packages

Cancun Restaurants

Cancun's variety of food options mirrors the city's international clientele. There is a wide array of more than 400 restaurants in all prices classes. There's a strong focus on American cuisine, and you will find many of the staples of American and Mexican beach resorts, including bar/restaurants along the lines of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Cancun, Hard Rock Café, Carlos'n Charlie's, Señor Frog's, etc.

There is also a myriad of high-end fine dining establishments for any kind of cuisine on the planet. The Mayan-themed La Habichuela is a legendary restaurant focusing on Mexican Caribbean cuisine. For sushi lovers, there's Sushi Itto, for carnivores serious about the quality of their beef, there's Río Churrascaría Steack House. Paloma Bonita serves authentic Mexican food in the middle of the hotel zone, and El Tacolote is a fantastic choice for inexpensive tacos.

If you are looking for a great deal and some authentic Mexican food in a very clean environment, try Sanborns. Found all over Mexico, Sanborns is part small department store and part cafeteria. Here you will find tasty breakfast buffets, and some very good enchiladas suizas. While Sanborns is not geared toward tourists, you will still be able to make yourself understood.
