We have avoided Xantolo for years. We have a home in Isla Mujeres and we tend to stick to the quieter corners of the island. However this trip we gave it a try on the recommendation of a good friend. We have been enjoying the hand crafter cocktails and tasty food. Martha is definitely a stand out. A fantastic bartender. And she told us about how they make all the mixers and prep all the fruits daily for bar service. The 2x1 deals int he day time are legit. You need to give it a shot

Cute restaurant with a nice atmosphere. There was a band playing live music which was very enjoyable. We only had drinks and churros, both of which were really good. Highlight was our waiter Ronny. He was so pleasant and helpful. There are also cute swings at the bar

We are drink people. If you haven’t noticed, it is SO HARD to find real cocktails and artisanal beer in Mexico. Dare I say impossible. We chose this place because on the menu we saw some cocktail ingredients that we hadn’t seen at other places and we were hopeful. We were not disappointed!! Martha and Ivonne made us the most perfect smoked old fashioned and manhattan. Finally. Then, to add the frosting on the cake, the food was pretty damn amazing too. Needless to say, we returned the next day.

We came here the night of arrival and went back our last night because we loved the food, servers and atmosphere! I ordered the cocktail, Mundaca’s treasure and it was absolutely beautiful and tasty. The Ceviche is incredible as well. Great service, this will be our new tradition every time we visit Isla Mujeres. Thank you!

Ivonne was a skilled bartender, but unfortunately upon our second visit, argued with our group and insisted we give her more than the 20% tip we asked her to add (on the already American tourist priced drinks, with 'mandatory' additional 6% credit card fee). This was extremely disappointing, especially considering the drinks and atmosphere were nice.

Delicious food and cocktails! So good we went 2 nights in a row! We love their Watermelon Jalapeño Margarita and the Pineapple Passionfruit Mezcalrita. We had the fresh and tasty Tuna Tostada, the Steak Fajitas, Guacamole, and Surf and Turf.
The service was top notch and so was the live music.

This place is really awesome! The atmosphere is absolutely perfect for so many occasions! You can tell someone really creative played a big role in the design. From the bar swings to a big city midtown feel inside to the concrete bar. That’s right, the bar is concrete! But, the best part is the food! The food here is Top Shelf both in quality and design. They serve grilled octopus! The menu has a lot of different choices in many different categories. Everything we had was amazing. Last, but not least, the drinks! The bartender is a master at his craft and introduced us to two new margaritas that were amazing! Had we found this place sooner on our vacation we would’ve eaten here every day! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great drinks, great food, and a great atmosphere!

Steak Tacos
This is my favorite spot in Isla. We always find ourselves here because of the quality of food, drinks, and level of service. The live music is a plus! What sets them apart is that the staff is always so kind and attentive. Shoutout to Ivonne and Martha who have treated us so well! Hugo is a star (he won best cocktail in Isla) and is currently at Mexa Posh, a sister restaurant across the street. I love sitting where I can see the kitchen and talk to people. The entire team genuinely seems to enjoy what they do and take pride in their work.

Food was tasty and good portions. My associate got a whole fried fish which was presented beautifully and taste great. I got the cochinita pibil which was delicious but could have gone for more. He also got the Yucatan ribs which were delicious. For appetizers we had tuna carpaccio and calamari and stuffed jalapenos which were really good. Nice spot to people watch even as we had a late dinner (10pm)
