This restaurant is know for its seafood dishes as well as Mayan specialties. I had the namesake soup for a starter-- it was very tasty. My friend ordered a simple but excellent mixed salad. I had a combination of grilled black grouper, lobster and shrimp. My friend and I were quite impressed with the quality of the grouper that night... More

My daughters and I went to Cancun for Mother's Day. We had dinner at La Habichuela Sunset. The setting was beautiful inside and the view of the lagune was amazing at sunset. The food was wonderful and we were treated as family by servers Luis and Omar. I would highly recommend asking for them! The girls had steak and lobster... More

My husband and I first enjoyed dinner here along with their Mayan show. The setting is beautiful inside and out. We enjoyed it so much we returned on our last night in Cancun which was a Thursday night (no Mayan show). Both times the service and meals were excellent. I had my favorite meal of the vacation here. It was... More

My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience at La Habichuela. Our waiter was Francisco, and we cannot say enough good things about him. My husband had steak and I had salmon and both meals were excellant. Francisco made the ceasar salad at our table and that added to our dining experience..The Mayan show was entertaining but the food... More

And my chicken mole had the best mole sauce I've ever tasted (lots of nuance, rich spices, chiles and chocolate without becoming the muddy blur of flavors mole is in restaurants back home). Potent and sizable margaritas were very good. There was a... More

I've read a few of the trip advisor comments and basically you either love or hate the sunset location over the downtown location. I have been to the Sunset location for the past 4-5 years due to its close proximity to the Royal Sands. Yes its true the Mayan show is nothing to write home about nor are the mariachis... More

Our dining experience at La Habichuela was very very special. We initially visited the downtown location in Cancun and had a superb lunch which included seafood ceviche, sift shell crab tacos and grilled snapper. We also met with Armando who has been running this establishment since 1977. He came across as someone who truly cares about the dining experience as... More

My parents, husband and I went here for lunch and had a delicious meal! We got the margaritas which were delicious and extremely strong. We also had a variety of dishes. Highlights included the fish breaded in amaranth, the guacamole, the onion rolls, the tamales, the soft shell crab tacos, and the steak with chicken enchilada mole. The only drawback... More
