“ While on vacation here in Cancun, we had the pleasure of dining at El Mortero twice! The first time, we had Juan as a server and we had the enchiladas and the mole trilogy... both excellent! The second night, we both had the enchiladas- again excellent! Miguel and Gener were our servers on this visit, and they were also excellent and attentive! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
