Cheester (CHSTR) Plazas Outlet — Restaurant in Cancún

NOTE: This is a review for the Cheester located close to Parque de las palapas. We visited this place for dinner after reading about this place on NewYork times. A great find indeed.

We have been going to Cheester for years, because we enjoy the food there, and the portions are enormous! But last time we were very disappointed with the place, as the music was so loud that we couldn't even hear what the waiter was saying, let along each other. When we asked the stuff to turn the volume down, it was turned down for one song, and then cranked up again. It was obvious other people in the restaurant didn't enjoy that either - many came with their families. It was absolutely impossible to enjoy our time there, as we were forced to eat food just staring at each other, not able to...
