    Me encanta Porfirios. Me gusta ir a celebrar mis momentos especiales allá porque siempre tienen un detalle acorde para el momento. En esta ocasión fue a celebrar mi primer año de casada y como siempre se lucieron. La comida deliciosa y el servicio 10/10. Los meseros son los mejores del lugar.

    Let me start by saying we eat at this place a couple of times every time we come down and we’ve been down here eight times this is the first time that the service absolutely sucked. The food was overcooked or stale is 100% not what we have been accustomed to coming in and enjoying

    Pedimos unas margaritas y los meseros nos trajeron sin avisar de tequila reposado y nos cobraron 3300 pesos solo de tequila sin avisarnos el precio, cuando pagamos nos dijeron que no andaban nuestras tarjetas porque evidentemente querian el efectivo. Vivo en Playa del Carmen y me hacen estas cosas de turista, no vuelvo nunca mas a ese lugar. Una pena porque si me gusta la comida

    Their service from check in to my server was top notch and experience to be had. I was able to chose between 2 tables to seat at. Even the small mishap with what I ordered was handled expeditiously! The food was fresh and generous portion of meat.

    Celebrated a birthday. I had the ribeye tacos. Incredible. Friends had the steak and lobster with a bourbon glaze added as a presentation. Delicious. They do the whole song and dance and dessert which is nice. Service was ehhhhh… our guy was new and forgot important things at inopportune times like a spoon for ice cream. Ice cream melted by the time he returned. Same for French fries. By the time he realized he forgot them and placed another order, we were done with our meal. We had to ask four different people four times for our check. If you have anyone in your group who gets overstimulated, this place is not for you! The house music is playing and then at any moment the ten piece mariachis come out and they are insanely loud! Insane! Trumpets, violins and guitars. Tables will order a three pack of songs and so for ten minutes they could be blaring in your ear. It does NOT end! The dancer was amazing but she comes out once and it’s late after you’re drained from the band and slow service and hung over with the itis! Another positive if you’re into it… Creative instagram tik tok worthy presentation of food and drinks but the overhead spot lights make it hard to balance light in photos.

    Food was overrated. The noise level was too loud to the point where you couldn’t have a conversation. And get ready to sweat worst than the gym while you’re eating. The restaurant asked for our special occasion which was a 50th wedding anniversary multiple times to barely acknowledge it at the end.

    I choose this restaurant for my birthday dinner but was a bit disappointed in the atmosphere. Music was loud but lacked the party vibe. No ac or fans feels like a sauna if seated inside.
