By the time we got to the hotel in Cancun, it was about 6pm already. We settled into our room and checked at the front desk to see what the prices were like in the hotel's 3 restaurants. They were all $40 a meal per person! It's pretty much a ripoff unless you bought the all-inclusive package. So we headed out to the street to see if there was anything around. Fortunately, Beach Palace is across the street from a shopping center called Flamingo Plaza. We walked through the entire length to get an overview of the place. The larger restaurants were all chains we have in the US... Bubba Gump, Outback Steakhouse and Margaritaville. There were 2 Mexican places... Sanborns and La Panza es Primero. We decided to go for Sanborns because it was a brighter, larger space and had lower prices.
Overall, it was a good first dinner in Mexico. The food was OK, but I wasn't blown away by it. I've had better in NY (see Cascabel Taqueria). Service was laid back, but good. I was a little nervous that the restaurant was empty when we went, but it filled up little by little.
