La Fonda del Zancudo

Food 7.5 or 8 out of 10. They started us off with bread topped with garlic and parsley/coriander and various sauces. This was delicious. Steak was flavourful and decent size. No complaints. The burger came with a piece of pork on top of the bun (pictured). One waitress suggested that it’s salmon. Our actual waitress confirmed its prosciutto. it wasn’t listed on the menu at all so beware. We requested it to be removed. I assume they replaced the buns only (pictured) and didn’t make a fresh burger but I could be wrong. The buns were slightly over-charred so there was a strong burning smell. Buns used are not the same as North American style burgers. La Fonda Brownie Not a big fan of the popcorn. Brownie and Ice cream were not as sweet as what we’re used to. This is a good thing. Not sure if it’s intentional or not. I wish the brownie was warmer and ice cream was colder. This would’ve been a great combo. Service Decent. Nothing to write home about. The restaurant was empty when we came so I expected better service - especially priced where they are. Waitress didn’t bring separate utensils for dessert but was suggestive of a tip. I guess this is the culture in Cancun. Ambiance Very nice decor and great ambiance. Overall A bit pricey but we were satisfied with our food. Likely wouldn’t come back.

They start with some warm fresh bread that is delicious and comes out with a little pot of sauce that’s just yum. Every time I come to Cancun I come here and order the shrimp Pizza. Its crust is very thin, has a delicious sauce and is well presented. Excellent service in ambiance. If you are staying downtown Cancun it’s worth stopping by ❤️

The ambience is next level! I was in awe walking into this restaurant - they have done an amazing job decorating the space in a way that makes you feel you’re having a romantic dinner in the garden of jungle. Love all the mood lights, the vegetation, the hanging mason jars with flowers. Impeccable decor!! Food was pretty good too. I had the salmon which was very tasty. The only negative I have was the roasted corn / more like burnt to a crisp corn. We even asked if they could replace the corn and the second one was even more burnt! My husband had the shrimp fettuccine which he says was good. The service was also great - very attentive I’d highly recommend!

2nd time visiting this place. Was every bit as nice this time as it was the first time. Charming garden courtyard under a jacaranda. Bistro lights. Crushed white stone on the ground, distressed wooden tables. Good music (and not too loud) Nice ambiance all around. Menu has Mediterranean influence. Excellent salads and hand crafted pizza. Everything I've eaten here has been excellent. No complaints about service. Courteous and attentive waitstaff. Seems like a great place for a family dinner night. But also a great place for a romantic date night.

The atmosphere is great! Service was quick and friendly. We ordered empanadas, which were not excellent but still okay. Dessert is good.

The atmosphere and service were spotless. However we had higher expectations for the dishes for the price. Plantain ravioli tasted mostly like cheese, the plantain was barely noticeable, what a shame. Brownie from white chocolate was on the drier side. Drinks were nice, but slightly overpriced.

We have been there twice and the place was exceptional and the food very good, we recommend this restaurant which stands out from what you can see elsewhere.

We happened upon this gem actually walking past a restaurant we had planned on visiting....so glad we did... ambiance is rustic and outdoors, menu has tasty choices, not an overwhelming menu, for us just perfect. The empanadas, the salad and the shrimp pizza... amazing. The staff, friendly and attentive...the atmosphere perfect for a nice relaxing evening out. Thank you all so much!!!
