I will start out saying we had fun there. The food was average to good and the staff was very friendly. Everyone in Mexico is friendly. BUT ...they want to steal from you. It used to be the safest way to travel was with travelers checks. Then came debit cards ...exclusively for travel, Sounds smart. You have no need to... more

We struck out a few times with the "authentic" local cuisine in Cancun and decided to give Bubba Gump's a try. The food was really good and fresh, the service was top notch, and the drinks were decent. Yes, the food is greasy and unhealthy but we were on vacation and it was worth the calories. I had the Shrimper's... more

The table felt greasy. The food was average quality (ie one step above McDOnald's) - the complex of American Restaurants I would stay away from. Noisy. Prompte drinking. Our servers were very nice but we will not go back. more

Ate at the Bubba Gump in the airport before leaving Cancun. It is located in the C Terminal just after you go through Security. The service we received was the best in the entire week we stayed in Cancun. Fast service, pleasant waiter/waitress and always a friendly smile. Food was good and portions big. The host at the entrance was... more

Very little to say positive about this place. First, there are no prices on the drinks. We spent more on drinks than we did for dinner!!!!! The coconut shrimp dinner was lousy....the fried chicken dinner was passable and the kids' meals were ok. What killed me was the price for onion rings 95 pesos or about $9.50 Canadian....are you kidding... more
