La Destileria - Cancun

We made a reservation for my husband and I and our 4 kids via opentable. When we arrived, we were told that we couldn’t all sit together because of covid-19. They said 4 per table max. This was frustrating because we are part of one household, so we are always together. We ended up having our slightly older kids (ages 10 & 12) sit separately at a table nearby. This was the only bad part of our experience at La Destileria. The servers, food, and atmosphere was all amazing! So I’m glad we stayed beyond that initial frustration with seating. The mole poblano was so delicious, as was the Banana Maya cocktail. Our kids also very much enjoyed the chicken fingers and cheese quesadilla, and they even asked for seconds, which they have never done at a restaurant before. My husband had some chicken dish that he also thoroughly enjoyed. And the tequila shots were fantastic too!

Wonderful food and view from the deck

La Destileria is a great to restaurant to visit in Cancun. Ruben's staff that night did an excellent job as they always do.
Thanks for a very enjoyable dinner.

Excelent food

Lots of fun for a trip to Cancun!

The food and drinks were amazing, all of the staff were very fun and it was a great view of the lagoon! Would highly recommend!

Ok place. Turisty like the rest of the restaurants in the area.

Tourist trap! Food was OK - edible but nothing special. Huge gift shop. We did get one round of free "house" drinks from our hotel which were fine but nothing special. There are tons of nice restaurants in Cancun that aren't terribly expensive so no need to eat here. You can just go to your local Mexican restaurant at home and have the same experience.

Best meal we had in Cancun last week. Mole enchiladas were great. Excellent margaritas.

Awesome choices of meals and great happy staff ready to help at a moment’s notice. Great place overall.

From the atmosphere, the band, the food to the flight of Tequila - we highly recommend La Destileria on your trip to Cancun.
Thank you Christian for the wonderful service.

The food is consistently great, and the service is outstanding. They always go out of their way to be kind and fun with my young daughter. It’s a bit touristy, but I think it’s part of the fun. The molcajete bowls are outrageously delicious!

Good little spot to have dinner

Excelente Restaurant Mexicano a precios razonables. El sazón es muy bueno.

Food was average.

Another great experience. Great atmosphere, food, and service!

My daughters 30th Bday

We visit La Destileria every year for the outside dining, good food and music. All provide a festive mood.

We had a lagoon side table, which was nice. It was a festive atmosphere, so was somewhat noisier than we would have liked. We were meeting with friends we hadn’t seen in years. At 7:30 the mariachis came in, and they were good. The food was tasty. We had mole, cochinita pibil, and two fish dishes featuring red snapper with different sauces. Though the food was great, the margaritas were a disappointment. They tasted like U.S. style margaritas, made with sweet and sour mix rather than to classic margarita of tequila, Cointreau or triple sec, agave and a splash of lime. The real thing is hard to find here.

We loved this place so much we came back a second night in a row. Awesome tequila and drink choices and delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine. Definitely recommend!

Went there for a quick dinner on Sunday night. The place was almost closing but they accommodated us. Food was good and the mezcal cocktails were amazing. They even got a dessert as a surprise for my wife’s bday which was much appreciated.

Great food ...great service...price is good... a little noise...overall we will definitely go again!!

On a family vacation in Cancun and we asked the concierge at our hotel to recommend a good Mexican restaurant. He gave us 3 suggestions and we picked La Destileria. Beautiful outside deck to eat and watch the sunset (also has indoor dining) The staff was attentive and very helpful the food was wonderful. Our son has pork tacos, I had chili rellenos and my spouse had steak with peppers. We were all more than satisfied with our meals. As a matter of fact we went back two nights later for dinner. I would recommend La Destileria to anyone who was in Cancun and wanted a great meal. Also the prices were more than reasonable. Shout out to Ruben (one of our waiters) for great service! Also had a strolling Mariachi band the 2nd night. This was an added bonus and was fun to watch and listen to the live music!

Definitely a tourist spot but solid food and good entertainment.

Had a great tune here. The food is excellent the atmosphere is fun and active. Would highly recommend for a fun/ family night!
Also order the guacamole and salsa. They make it fresh at the table and it like nothing you have had before very good!!

Very nice restaurant with excellent food, ask the waitress for recommendations and you will have a superb Mexican dinner. Drinks are great too. The professional staff was great especially Christian. Mariachi band was fun.

The Fors family from Sweden

I went to this restaurant on Christmas evening and what a disappointment. The food was bland and had zero taste. The restaurant advertises live music yet the mariachi band wasn’t there. The food is reasonably priced but you can find many other establishments with authentic Mexican. Stay away from this place. Horrible experience.

Last minute decision
Food was wonderful
Table side salsa
Plus a great photo to boot!

Great food, slow service.

I really enjoyed the food and service at this restaurant. I had a chicken dish and my mom chile rellinos. She raved about her entree. Guacamole was made tableside. Margaritas were fabulous. Dessert was wonderful too, corncake with eggnog sauce and tres leche cake. Mariachi band came on at 7:30 pm.

We arrived on time for the reservation, but the hostess had no record of it. They offered to seat us but also said that we’d need to leave in 45 min to make room for a private party. This is no way to do business.

I would absolutely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for very good Mexican food at reasonable prices. Great service, solid selections and Mariachi singers come through at 7:30 each evening. Awesome overall experience!

Always visit LaDisteliria on our visits to Cancun. That visit everything was good except the Skirt Steak was extremely touch, chewy & greasy in the Lava Bowl. The guacamole (prepared table side) was excellent. Was surprised we were charged twice for ordering a side of salsa or pico to go along with the Guac.... Hmmm!! Otherwise Good Experience!

We received excellent service. The food is good. The staff are attentive and fun, and there was a band serenading us too.

We had a great dining experience with La Destileria.

Always a fun place to go! Service and food were excellent. Musical entertainment just adds to the overall experience!

Great marguerite wonderful food. Desert was Mayan coffee. One of our favorites in Cancun. Good choice of tequila to buy. We always do all inclusive hotels but come here for great food and friendly staff

Great tequila flight

We come here every time we are in Cancun. The margaritas are wonderful, great food and awesome service. Their mole is amazing as is their table side guacamole. Our favorite spot!

Nice location on the lagoon and walking distance from our hotel. The soups were absolutely outstanding. I ordered the shrimp tacos; they were a bit spicy but so delicious. My partner ordered the beef/meat tacos; he found them dry and substandard. The staff was welcoming and the mariachi duet was a cool bonus to our night.
