    Honestly extremely disappointing. Ambience was the only good thing. Beautiful location, but everything is an upsell and the food is just not good. I got the waiters recommended pasta dishes and both were very bland and basic on top of being very small portions. I recognize that others seem to like this place and it has good reviews, so if you decide to go I hope you enjoy and have a better experience than me! I personally will not be returning again.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback about Taboo Cancún. We’re sorry the pasta, portion sizes and value fell short of your expectations, and that the sales approach detracted from your visit. We appreciate your honest comments about the food and service.

    It was a beautiful restaurant but sadly I do think it’s overpriced. The food and drinks were nothing spectacular. They were really nice and accommodating for a large group of 10.
    Taboo CancunResponded on October 13, 2026
    Thank you for recognizing how the team accommodated your group of ten at Taboo Cancún. We are sorry that the food and drinks did not feel as distinctive as you expected for the price, despite enjoying the setting. Your feedback helps distinguish the warm reception from the dining experience itself.
