The park serves as a hub of outdoor activity in the downtown area, where artisans sell their handicrafts, food vendors offer a variety of well-priced snacks and local dishes, while trees and cool drinks keep the heat at bay. When you reach the large stage in the middle of the park, check the schedule of shows for both children and adults. Sundays in particular are very crowded and lively.

It's exactly what you want. Cheap food, with the pricing clearly spelled out. Great pictures on most menus to clearly identify what you're getting. If you want to eat how Mexicans eat then come...

As a tourist most people sick to the resorts and hotel zone. This local gem was one of the best things about my truck. Located in downtown Cancun away from the hustle and into the heart of Cancun. The people were there every night just having a good time. Singing dancing and just socializing. The food was amazing and cheap. I actually went there everyday I was there. Definitely recommend if ever in Cancun.

Definitely worth visiting to try the local cuisine. You will find everything you can think of to eat, some live music, and very nice vibe. Days to come would def be the weekend. As an added bonus food is cheap.
