We have been here in Cancun for three months and Alex met us on our first day here. We are staying in the canal homes and it’s very close to this place. Alex is a fantastic manager and is always very attentive. The food and drinks are very good. The view is amazing. We have been here like 12 times. We enjoy everything about this place. 5 stars for everything. We have another 1/2 of a month to month here and we will be back at leave three or four times.

Cannot recall the name of our waiter for the life of me but his service was impeccable. Two other staff members also checked in on us throughout the meal. Meal was fantastic and came out in a timely manner. Location is great and dining outside provided a nice view. Late evening dinner would be my recommendation as it is quiet and it’s not too hot.

About the restaurant

If we were to take out a personal ad, we would describe ourselves as fun, outgoing, energetic and good looking. The good looking part might be a stretch, but the other words fit us perfectly.

If you've ever been to a Señor Frog's, anywhere around the world, you already know that we're a place where people of all backgrounds hang together, dance, sing and basically act the way they want - without worrying about silly rules and regulations.

Our Philosophy is simple: have fun, let yourself go.

Throw caution to the wind and do something daring. Forget all of your responsibilities and vacation like no other crazy tourist has ever had, have a great time loosing up and leaving your tensions behind. Hanging out with your family or having a couple tequilas with your best buds, just have fun, let yourself go.

When you're at Señor Frog's, you're gonna smile -even if we have to hold you down and tickle you (which we´ve been know to do).
