Looked at the reviews, looked at the pictures... chose this restaurant for our anniversary dinner and we were so glad we did! This is a great establishment... not stuffy, not overpriced, but a warm beautiful and friendly environment with GREAT food, GREAT staff and FABULOUS ambiance. The garden is so romantic -- mayan ruins lit with soft lights...a jungle-like setting... More

While the menu was excellent - the crab tacos aren't to be missed! - the entertainment was over the top. If it's the only coffee that you have all week, you really must order the Mayan Coffee at La Habichuela - I don't drink coffee but all of those who did said it was wonderfule! The wait staff put on... More

Just got back from Cancun and made sure we went to La Habichuela- downtown. This restaraunt was absolutely perfect for my sister in laws birthday celebration. The service and attention to detail were amazing. From the time we sat down we felt we were part of the family, every one that waited on us, 3 people at least, made us... More

After we were seated, it took them 15 minutes to bring the menus and the waitings between each meal was... More

We've been going to La Habichuela for about 15 years. The garden remains one of the prettiest outdoor eating venues you're likely to find. The staff are very professional and always treat my wife and our guests with the utmost courtesy and impeccable service. We spent two weeks in Cancun the end of April, beginning of May. During that time,... More

Service: Very attentive, well mannered and all-round excellent. Cocktails: GREAT! Interior: Well, we sat in the exterior, which was a nice garden/patio, slightly tacky "Faux Mayan" adornments were entertaining. Food: Generally good. We had the ceviche which was excellent, followed by a whole Sea Bream with garlic butter and the coconut shrimp. Sadly, the fish was overcooked and so too... More
