“ We stopped at this place based on the reviews and the fact that we can't find decent pizza in Cancun. This place had great pizza, but it was very quiet in there with a lot of empty tables. We ordered two different daiquies, and they were a little sugary and took a long time to get. Other than that, we were completely pleased. We also had the caprese salad, which was excellent. We will be going back again. ”
