Table of seven, and everyone enjoyed their meal, except for those that chose hamburger that that may not be the best choice but the onion rings are bomb

Great meal and ambiance w show at 9pm and 10pm. Loved Greek salad and Octopus dinner. Would suggest doing shots rather than cocktails as it comes with lively presentation (and the martinis weren't that great). Service was excellent

Stumbled across this place while walking to town. It was very busy at 11am, so we figured it must be good. Made a reservation for the next night and are so glad we did. The drinks were amazing and the food was prepared just right. We had the mocajete with lobster tail and it was awesome. We sat outside because the weather was so great. It is close to the street, so the noise level was a little loud, but that really didn't bother us much. Highly recommend for some solid authentic Mexican food and drinks.

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).

My partner and i came to señor frogs for lunch, and then booked a table for drinks that evening with friends we met. It is a fun and lively place, the food is very good but it is a little expensive(although everything seems to be in Cancun) The service is good and so is the entertainment, i would definitely return again
