Kiosco Verde — Restaurant in Cancún

My older son wanted to go for his birthday dinner there. We mentioned it from the very beginning. The hostess even wanted to verify his birthday on his Drivers license. In the very end after few disappointing meals, nothing special was done to make the dinner special - not a candle, nor writing on the cheesecake plate decorated with chocolate. The food was mediocre - the mashed potatoes tasted like boxed instant potatoes. The side salad was old. The special grouper fillet had no flavor and tasted like frozen fish cooked in a microwave… I really really wanted to experience something delicious and special there. I had better tasting food from street vendors for fat less money and no Michelin mentions. The final straw was my toddlers meal which was forgotten, and when I inquired about it, what was brought to the table were fish fingers that were dry, burnt and with a funky taste.! We had an awful experience. The server was good and tried his best, but he is not the chef and can’t make the food...

This restaurant is a gem. Over our 10 day stay, my friend and I ate here 4-5 times - dine in, takeout, and full course menus. The octopus guacamole was our favorite of all the guacs we tried from our whole trip. And the empanadas were still delicious even after we saved them to go and had them for breakfast 4 days later!

On my 4th and 5th time visiting Kiosco Verde, I decided to ask Amos my server to just give me his recommendations. He did not disappoint! He gave me the equivalent of a private tasting menu to my taste/appetite. On separate occasions, I was served two different grilled mahi mahi dishes, a scallop and shrimp pescadillo, perfectly balanced salads, and a cornbread dessert. His service and the chefs’ talents are amazing!

The personalized service and incredible seafood should put Kiosco Verde on the map as a top seafood restaurant in Cancún. I’m already looking forward to the next chance I get to come back! I second the other reviewer who said that they deserve a...

This place was recommended to us by the local brewery a few blocks away. It was so delicious! Everything from the shrimp tacos to the shots of Mezcal was divine! I ordered a fish dish stuffed with shrimp with mashed potatoes and a salad and it was so so good. Everyone in our party was totally impressed by the food and the service and the atmosphere. There is absolutely nothing to complain about here and our only regret is that we found it on our very last night in Cancun! It was my friend’s birthday and they brought her dessert. The prices were all very reasonable for a very classy menu. They even gave a little taste of the tequila and Mezcal so my friend could choose her favorite for birthday shots! This place is classy yet...
