" Wow! I had the quesabirria tacos and they were out of this world! The flavor was rich and delectable. Service was immaculate as the staff were super nice and attentive. The atmosphere was welcoming, and it was pretty busy which is a good sign. I can’t wait to go back and try everything else they have! " (*Curated Review*)

They paired it with a spicy salsa that had the perfect kick. The decor is simple, which adds to the authentic feel of the place. Finally, I loved their fresh juices, they were a perfect complement to the meal. A fantastic place that I would recommend to anyone looking for great Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a long-time fan of Mexican food, I was excited to try Isla Cancun. I must say, it lived up to all the hype! The quesabirria tacos were melt-in-your-mouth tender and so flavorful. The corn on the side was perfectly grilled and tasted like summer! The ambiance is casual but welcoming, making it a great place for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. Service was friendly, albeit a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, great experience that I would gladly repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden treasure! The birria tacos are to die for, full of rich flavors and accompanied by fresh toppings. The service is friendly but expect a bit of a wait during busy times as everything is made fresh to order. The atmosphere is casual which I enjoy, perfect for a quick lunch. The mango smoothie was refreshingly delicious, so I recommend trying that as well. Overall, Isla Cancun is a place I will return to regularly. " (*Curated Review*)

I love that they offer fresh fruit juices, and the atmosphere is pretty lively. It can get a bit busy, but the service is generally friendly. I’ll be returning soon to try more dishes from their menu, as there’s plenty of variety! " (*Curated Review*)
