The culinary proposal offered by La Buena Barra is wide, carefully covering the Mexican Republic from the classic flavors of the north of the country as charcoal meats and chile piquin sauces to dishes from the sea in the style of the Gulf or fresh as in the Pacific.

    The food, drinks and service is fabulous here!! Drinks glasses are particularly fun and very Instagramable! The little puffer fish especially! Service was impeccable and the restaurant is not loud like so many others in Cancun so you can actually have a conversation.

    Everything about our experience was amazing - food, service, atmosphere. They had table side preparation of some of their dishes which was incredible. I would definitely come back. Our servers Jonathan and Estefany were outstanding! Highly, highly recommend.

    Service was disappointing. We were hard sold on a little pig and something else. Could not understand what was being offered. Had to ask for menu’s. We observed no one else with this pork hard sell. Meat presented to other tables, never ours. Never explained what the variety of sauces offered with some bread, saw other tables with explanation. No crunchy chips as others had. Drinks, coffee slow. Food was good, acknowledged birthday but overall felt ignored following decline of presented pork. Prices fair.

    I dined at La Buena Barra in Cancún based on a friend’s recommendation, though they had raved about the CDMX location. I went in with high hopes, but the experience fell short of excellent, especially given the steep prices. When a restaurant charges premium rates for every dish, it needs to deliver exceptional quality, and sadly, that wasn’t the case here. The food lacked flavor, and the drinks— Mezcalina de Tamarindo and Jamaica—were disappointingly flat. Portions were also small; a single small Rib Eye taco cost over $12, which felt unjustified. On a positive note, the servers were attentive and did their best. Overall, it was an average dining experience that left me unsure if I’d return.

    Great service and attention to details was above and beyond. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and the whole staff made it a very special night. The manager was awesome, constantly checking on guests, spending time with all the guests to insure all expectations were met. Definitely recommend dinndining here on the outside patio.

    Not only was white Seabass, excellent, but the staff was terrific. I plan to go back later this week. It was truly that good.
