“ The place is great, Mónica was lovely. Salad didn’t have enough dressing, pizza dough not up to standard, not enough marinara sauce on them. Rest was very nice. ”
“ Great pizza. Service was terrific. Highly recommend this place! ”
“ I’ve been going to Cancino restaurants since 2017 and this new location didn’t disappoint. One of the things I love the most is that they have great food, especially pizza, for a relatively good price given the quality and atmosphere. This specific location is really nice with cool decor and nice ceilings. Service is quick and super nice. They made sure everything was ok and gave us great recommendations. We really enjoyed an appetizer that has spinach mixed with cheese and a focaccia on the side. We also loved the pizza Rústica and the cacao dessert, which is vegan. The dessert is like a chocolate mousse, good for those who like dark chocolate and not too much sugar. Overall this is a great place to come with friends, family or with a date. ”
“ First time visiting this restaurant and definitely a good choice. Valet parking is affordable ($50 MXN). The atmosphere is great. Lots of candles and you can feel the good mood everywhere. Service is good, but can be better, or perhaps it was just our waitress. And food... We ordered pizza, lasagna, squid rings and the Cocoa cake. Everything was pretty good but not the best (personal opinion though). But give it a try! ”
“ Best pizza I have ever had in mexico amazing texture and pretty light on the oil. We got the kale salad and it was a hit. Everything was good even the lemonade had a nice touch where they added a ball of lemon ice cream. The server was kind and super thoughtful will go back thanks Andres your a cool server for sure. Also place is super clean and so are the bathrooms. Will come back with my friends !! ”
