 Vive El Mortero!!!
Interior: Check!Large diningroom with great aesthetics, beautiful ambient lighting, and a lot of space between tables so you don't feel squashed in.Service: Check!Restaurant Manager Slyvester was elegant and welcoming. We were assigned two waiters each full of personality. The service was attentative and seamless.Food: Check, check!!!That moment when you take your first bite and the medley of flavors stun you into stillness for a few seconds as you stare across at your partner who is having the same experience.... Yep food was great. No pics because we ate everything before thinking about it.Entertainment: SUPER check!!Hands down the best mariachi band I've ever seen. These guys were SO good and restored my faith in the art frankly. We are a hard sell and they had us beaming. If you end up in the Hotel Zone of Cancun...seriously check this place out.

 Exceptional Service, Food & Atmosphere
My friend Tony and myself stayed at Krystal for a week and we went to El Mortero for dinner daily. We had an amazing server his name is Juan May who always goes above and beyond to make sure we are happy and satisfied. If you go there always ask for him you will not be disappointed. Also, the hostess Elizabeth is a joy to meet daily with her beautiful smile and welcoming. I will be there again soon.

 Restaurant with entertainment
My parents always took the grandkids to El Mortero and we hadn't been there for almost twenty years. We surprised my 87 year old mother on this trip to Cancun. I would call it a seafood and Mexican restaurant. The decor is definitely old Mexico style. A maharachi band serenaded each table and a magician did some tricks for tables with children. The food was very good and the staff attentive. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening. A lot of the patrons appeared to be local, celebrating families, which is always a good sign. Meals ranged $20-25. Our only problem was when we went to leave our definitely public parking space outside the restaurant, a security guard from nearby CocoBongo demanded money and put his foot in front of our wheel until we paid. This was the first time I've ever been hassled in 25+ years visiting Cancun.

 Wonderful place to eat
Mariachis, great decor, great food and great service! Very good place to eat Mexican food that is fresh and delicious. A luxurious meal without lofty prices. You can dress casual or formal, it's ambiance goes either way. You can tell it will be delicious from the aromas you smell as you walk through the door. Reservations are recommended.

 Fabulous!
Traditional decor. Roving mariachi's. Perfectly presented food, and all of it delicious. We started with the combination appetizer and the crackling beef appetizer, and both were very good. The beef was a favorite. All entrees were great as was the flan. We also enjoyed the tequila with sangrita on the side. We loved it so much we went there twice during the week we visited!

 Great food and service! Go early in the evening
We dined at El Mortero as part of our Krystal stay, and were very happy with our experience. The service was fantastic, and may have had something to do with our early (6PM) reservation. The staff was very attentive, and our waiter hovered near our table the entire time. Going at 6PM on a Tuesday was the right choice for us. When we left, we felt we had been given the royal treatment for our entire 2hrs. Oh, BTW, the food was unreal! We had a great Surf and Turf blend, and it was excellent. I have never had calamari that was as tasty and well prepared as this! It was a huge meal for 2, and it was a very well presented meal.

The food in this Mexican Food establishment is superb, the Margaritas are traditional and delicious. The feeling is of a Old style Hacienda with deco and colors of Old Mexico and the Mariachis add a great Fiesta feeling to the experience.It is part of the Crystal Resorts Family.

 Excellent food and service!!
We found this restaurant by mistake when looking for another one that was recommended to us. We're glad we did! Service was excellent. We were serenaded by a live mariachi band that was easy to listen to and not overwhelming. All the food was excellent: shrimp ceviche appetizer, chips and salsa verde (mild), mixed grill fajitas for three with chicken, beef, lobster and the best home-made corn tortillas. I had the mango margarita which was excellent. We would definitely visit this restaurant again!

 #250 out of 681 Restaurants -- you have to be joking!
El Mortero should be in the top 10, not relegated to just below Taco City and far below Hooters. Come on, Trip Advisor! The decorative hacienda-like atmosphere and the warm and relaxing ambience complimented so well the the reasonably priced and very well-prepared Mexican food -- and the Mariachi band that serenaded us... WOW! Perfect drinks, attentive but not annoying waiters, it was our favorite restaurant of all that we tried. By far. Chose it for our last night in Cancun and it was just as memorable as the first time we went there.

 Great food and margaritas
We stumbled upon this place and ended up having a great time. A few of us tried the more exotic dishes and a couple just had fajitas or tacos. Everything was excellent. It is a little expensive, the service is a little slow and they do charge a service charge; but we never went too long with out being checked on and they made sure we didn't try to tip on top of the service charge. The mariachi band was excellent as well. We very much enjoyed our time there and will go back.

 Great dinner and atmosphere
We wanted to have "non all inclusive" Mexican food for our last night and the hotel recommend El Mortero. It is located in the heart of Cancun near the flea market, bars shopping. The atmosphere was very nice. Mariachi Band that sang to all tables, great service and AMAZING food. Kids had surf and turf, my husband and I got the special grill fajitas which featured lobster, steak and shrimp. So good. Aps and dessert were delicious. Tequila and margaritas were strong and good. Good for couples and families. Go, it was fun! Dinner for 4 with drinks, dessert and aps $230.

We were there for dinner at 6pm when they opened. Lovely fountain in middle of main dinning area. Very happy with seafood stew. not stew at all but delicious pan fried or grilled seafood of excellent flavor served on red rice. Friend had Fajitas - good quality ingredients and flavor. Appetizers were generous enough that almost didn't need dinner. Nice wine selection. Mariachi music was a little loud for the room but very nice. Convenient location to walk to or use buses. Also had a Sunday brunch available. Had several table for two and also several tables that would accommodate a large number of people without have to rearrange the tables. By the time we left, it was getting full and was a little too noisy for conversation.

 Old Hacienda Style Restaurant
This restaurant has the best ambiance and good food. It takes two hands to hold the margaritas. The decorations are very typical of an old hacienda with a beautiful fountain and lots of plants in the middle of the restaurant. An extra bonus is that you can enjoy the Mariachis, while you dine.

 Nice atmosphere and good food
Came here as part of the all-inclusive deal with the Krystal Cancun Resort. The food and selection was good and the service was excellent. There is a live mariachi band roaming around playing at each table. It was enjoyable but can get a bit loud (like any live music restaurant). My wife and I shared their seafood special that came on a grill/oven shaped like a pig. Food was excellent but really nothing that made me say 'wow'. it's next to all the dance clubs in the cancun tourist areas so if you have small children walking around that area may be inappropriate.I would return for the atmosphere and food.

 Nice atmosphere and good food
Came here as part of the all-inclusive deal with the Krystal Cancun Resort. The food and selection was good and the service was excellent. There is a live mariachi band roaming around playing at each table. It was enjoyable but can get a bit loud (like any live music restaurant). My wife and I shared their seafood special that came on a grill/oven shaped like a pig. Food was excellent but really nothing that made me say 'wow'. it's next to all the dance clubs in the cancun tourist areas so if you have small children walking around that area may be inappropriate.I would return for the atmosphere and food.

 An absolute surprise...
We have eaten here quite a few times over the years all of which I have to say were mediocre. My husband insisted we try it again and to my surprise this time was very different. The service and food were VERY VERY good. The prices weren't bad either. We both had a fish entree and non-meat appetizers (i'm a vegetarian but eat some fish). We shared churros for desert... All were very good. The have a huge selection of tequilas, gynormous margaritas, naturally the roaming mariachi band who are awesome and a lot of fun and great Mexican decor. If you have been here before and thought eh give it another shot....

 Nice dinner and restaurant!
Enjoyed a lot the dinner and also the Mariachi!!! A nice and typical restaurant to go to while in Cancún; as a value added for the customers it would be good to offer free WiFi.

 A fun place with ok food
Just walking into this restaurant makes you happy. The bright colors and decorations raise your expectations for a great experience. The food does not live up to the decor, however. You'd figure that in Mexico you'd get good Mexican food, but I get tastier Mexican dishes in the US. The chicken fajitas were particularly tasteless. Maybe the fact that nearly every American chain restaurant--Outback, Bubba Gump, McDonald's, etc.--has settled in the area caused the owners to feel they need to bland down their diet. They went too far.

 Decent food but nothing to write home about
We ate here 1 night since it was included in our hotel package. It's obvious they are wanting their guests to have a nice dining experience. The service was spot on and they had a Mariachi band playing and a magician. Nice experience but nothing special. We didn't return simply because of the menu options.

 Mexican atmosphere
The restaurant looks very nice with mexican atmosphere... musicans... and lovely decorations. The service was good as well. But the food was not the best. Pretty average. Touristic...

 Date Night
Food was dry and not even warm but atmosphere is nice. We order the combination fajita platter for 2, how does this come out cold, who knows. Horrible meal. My husband and I have been to Cancun 4 times and have no luck with the popular restaurant, we prefer good food more than ambiance. One thing we won't settle on is customer service, there service is good. The food quality is just not even mediocre.

 Not all that good!
We did not like our dinner here at all. And had to have reservations for this place and was a total let down.

 Expensive, mediocre service
We went to this restaurant because it was recommended by someone but the service was mediocre at best. The food not good at all and on top of it they charge the 15% tip without your consent. The only good thing was the Mariachi.Definitely not a place to have dinner or any type of meal.

 Poor Service
Rene provided less than adequate service. He did not check on us for extremely long periods of time. Glasses were left empty without a chance for refill. Would not recommend.
