10/10The food was tasty and as colorful as the decor. The manager and her staff were very attentive and helpful with choices of dishes. Check out the manager's own special magarita recipes ( they do happy hours ); they will really test your taste buds.

10/10Thank you again to everyone at this marvellous restaurant where everything my husband and I ate. Eating at El Cenote means that you not only leave happy but due to the great flavours, high quality ingredients, cheery atmosphere, great fish and some added mexican magic, you awake feeing just as delighted! The seabass ceviche is sublime, plump pieces of seabass bathed cured in a juice mix so good I drink it from the plate. The cactus taco intense, and the prawns in tequila a finger licking head sucking treat. The waitresses are smiling, friendly and very efficient even at busy times, which are often, deservedly, and keep the atmosphere buzzing Highly recommended. Again, thank you to you all, especially those in the kitchen. We will be back, Love Catherine

9.5/10Gosh where do I start? A clean and well laid out restaurant; we were warmly greeted and were given plenty of time to consider both drinks and food menus. Cocktails are highly recommended .... and the food ... flavoursome, interesting and satisfying. Whilst music was loud (hence 9.5/10); this is part of the charm and ambience of the venue. We could not have been treated better. Thank you.

9.5/10Food was really really lovely, especially the sweet potato tacos!! Drinks were also good and they allowed us to combine their standard happy hour discount with the Fork's deal, making the meal very cheap. Brilliant value for money, nice staff and décor, good variety in the menu - I will definitely be coming back!

10/10Thank you to everyone at this marvellous restaurant where everything my husband and I ate last night was a flavour packed sensation. We shared 4 different, all expertly prepared with high quality ingredients that differed in taste & texture- no blanket sauce/spicing at El Cenote. And as for the seabass ceviche, that was sublime, plump pieces of seabass bathed cured in a juice mix so good I drank it from the plate. The tuna tostada was ace too. Service was friendly and very efficient, the atmosphere buzzing and the meal a delight. Highly recommended. Again, thank you to you all, especially those in the kitchen. We will be back, Love Catherine
