About this experience

El Tigre y el Toro is a downtown Cancún classic: a casual Italian restaurant known for its oven-baked artisan pizzas and its pasta, served in an open-air garden that has become a gathering spot for locals. Far from the shine of the Zona Hotelera, it offers something increasingly rare: honest food, a relaxed room and prices that don't sting.

Tips for your visit

Come early on weekends: the garden fills up and it's the best part of the restaurant. The local formula never misses — pan de la casa with sauces to start, a margarita pizza in the middle of the table and pasta rosa con camarón to share. If you're traveling with a pet, this is your place: the garden is pet friendly. And if you're staying in the Zona Hotelera, use the trip to walk around downtown and see the local side of Cancún.
