Absolutely perfect! We went to La Habichuela after a whole day of bad experiences in Cancun and it really made up for everything. The food was great (we had lobster), service was absolutely delightful and the atmosphere was wonderful.If you go, try the Mayan coffee. It's worth it just to see them preparing it in front of you! La Habichuela is our fondest memory of Cancun.

The other reviews pretty much say it all; I just wanted to add my 5 stars. The "famous" Cocobinchuela (sp?) is quite good, and my wife liked the Veracruz style fish. The garden is beautiful and romantic, though more air circulation would be nice.

glitzy nouveau Cancun disappears here.... despite the rain, and the hurried dash for inside dining... the staff and food here were terrific.. a great escape from the typical plates of mexican fame...... harking on old Mexican flavors with classy dining and excellent atmosphere. I love the street-corner carts and fried everythings that Mexico offers, but welcomed the change at least for one night..

This place is just lovely - what a beautiful garden setting. You actually don't need to have an ocean view at this place - the garden makes up for it! The food is fine - nothing special but the setting makes up for it!
