    There is entertainment but they don’t start it until 9:30 and the fireworks I was told isn’t until 11:30! How does that help the people who dine earlier ? This wasn’t the case a few years ago so in other words they don’t cater to early dining. Further the waiter was unfriendly and let me say we are friendly people. He isn’t happy unless you keep ordering drinks which in the end we each had 2 cocktails. If you aren’t getting the 250 dollar steak he couldn’t be bothered. He should be fired and was a cloud in the experience. We have dined at 5 stars traveling all over and the waiter here was terrible with an attitude.

    Ambiance trop bruyante même pour un restaurant à Cancùn. Les shows ne sont pas coordonnés et sans thème précis. Les prix sont assez élevés pour une nourriture de bonne qualité mais sans plus. Aucune carte des vins n'est présentée, donc repas à l'eau !!!

    Taboo offers an electric ambience paired with vibrant live entertainment, making it a great choice for a lively evening out. The Mediterranean-inspired cuisine was delicious, though the portions were quite small relative to the high price point. The service was generally good, but we had an issue when settling the check: a 15% tip had already been added, though the server claimed it hadn’t. A quick translation of the receipt clarified the charge. The stunning location overlooking the Nichupté Lagoon, combined with its sophisticated and bohemian design, certainly adds to the appeal. If you’re looking for a mix of energy, good food, and a unique atmosphere, Taboo is worth a visit—just double-check your bill for accuracy.

    It’s really disappointing because this place has a fantastic atmosphere with great music, but at every turn, they are aggressively trying to upsell you. Our waiter told us that since we were celebrating, she would give us two shots and had us choose the ones we wanted. However, at the end of the night, we found the shots included on our bill ($50 USD for 2 shots) Additionally, we mentioned that we wanted the smaller steak on the menu (I can’t recall the name), but multiple times, she insisted on referring to the tomahawk steak. We had to reiterate several times and even point to the menu to clarify which steak we meant, as she kept saying the tomahawk was the steak we were referring to. The tomahawk steak is significantly more expensive ($250 USD). When the check came we noticed that there was a 20% tip included and the server then asked us for another tip on top of the bill. At the end of the night, after we had checked out, the waiter approached me and asked to use my phone. I was confused and asked her why she needed my phone. She responded that she wanted us to write a review. Her approach felt pushy, and it was clear she wasn’t taking no for an answer. I finally agreed, assuming it might benefit her directly, as I know some restaurants give bonuses to servers when they are mentioned in positive reviews. However, when I pulled out my phone to write the review, she asked to see what I was writing and then said, “I can quickly do it for you.” Without waiting for my consent, she took my phone and began writing the review herself. I was shocked and extremely uncomfortable with what was happening. She then proceeded to post the review without my approval. It’s such a shame that the servers are so aggressive and predatory, especially since the music, show, and food are genuinely good. This kind of behavior feels unnecessary and detracts from what could otherwise be a great dining experience.
