Everything about this place was great! We had a party of 10 and everyone enjoyed it! It feels like food with a show with all of the fun things they do to make your experience great! The food was awesome, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was great! Someone we met on our trip recommended this place to us and I would do the same to others!

The service at Porfirio’s is exceptional! We felt spoiled by all the attention we received. The food is also delicious and the highlights for us were the El Sancho “Cowboy” Steak, the guacamole with cheese, the Porfirio fries. In the end our entire group loved everything we ordered. My daughter with celiac had an amazing meal as they understood which dishes could be made gluten free and were attentive to her needs. Special shout out for Esteban who was our server. He was Amazing!

This place is an experience. Part restaurant, part party, with nonstop energy and a full-on show from start to finish. It’s polished, entertaining, and clearly built to impress. Service was excellent. Friendly, sharp, and extremely attentive. Glasses were refilled fast, which was great for us and, eventually, the bill. It’s a fun spot, but more of a once-or-twice visit. The atmosphere is so lively that conversation takes a back seat to the noise. For that reason alone, it lands at four stars for me. Still, if you’re looking for a high-energy night with great service and plenty of spectacle, it’s worth a visit.

We went to Porfirio’s to celebrate my son’s birthday and spend Christmas Eve with our family. We arrived about 10 minutes late, but the staff was flexible and kindly informed us that we had a two-hour seating, which we appreciated. From the moment we sat down, however, we felt a lot of pressure from the waitstaff to order quickly. We started with salads, but before we had even finished them, our main course arrived. As a result, the meat got cold, since we were still eating our starters. Someone from the staff asked how we were feeling, and we shared honestly that everything felt rushed. At that point, only about 20 minutes had passed, yet the pace already felt very fast. Unfortunately, this made it hard for us to enjoy the moment. It was our first time at the restaurant, and instead of relaxing, we felt constantly pressured. The music was also extremely loud, with what felt like concert-level videos playing on the TVs. This made it uncomfortable to have a conversation and added to the overall stress rather than creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. That said, the food itself is excellent — very high quality and absolutely delicious even that my meat was cold. The staff was kind and attentive, and they even surprised my son with a small birthday cake, which was a very thoughtful gesture and truly appreciated. It’s a shame that, despite the great food and friendly service, the rushed timing and loud environment made the experience less comfortable than we had hoped, especially for a special family celebration.

Came back a second day, Dec 21, to use our drink ticket and received horrible service from the manager/most senior server. We asked 3 different members of staff if we could use the ticket for drinks, they all said yes and double checked with extra staff. But when it came time to pay we were told we couldn’t use our drink ticket. I’m not sure what the manager was thinking trying to embarrass us and his own staff after we asked about the drink tickets multiple times. What a way to ruin an overall great experience. On our first visit the Mexican food here was amazing, some of the best we’ve had! The pork belly was so crispy and delicious and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Such a lovely atmosphere and beautifully designed indoor/outdoor space. The staff are very attentive. Mauro and Charly really elevated our experience. We will definitely be back.

The food was just good the experience was good and the service very nice but they are a little bit pushing you to put a good review and even show QR code for you to put a review while still in the restaurant. I did not like that personally, and that is why I don't give them 5 stars.

My buddy and I stop by here for some lunch while we were out and about on 5th avenue and without a doubt this was the best meal we had the entire time we were in Mexico. My buddy got the grilled octopus and I got the ribeye tacos. Everything was incredibly delicious The service was fantastic and there was a great way to sit and look at all the people walking around while you enjoy your meal and drinks I highly recommend taking time to try this place out.

We went here for our last night of our holiday ( it was an all inclusive) we didn’t book however we were fitted in immediately. We were seated & introduced to our server. This is now where I gave the atmosphere 4*’s: the music was so so loud that we couldn’t hear each other & we could NOT understand the waiters & our server! You literally could not hold a conversation! After managing to order we only waited a few mins and complimentary starter arrived again could not hear what the sauces were. Our food arrived after just a 10 min wait & I was given a bike with soft cheese in… I hadn’t order them… I was told to take a picture which I did & he took the bike away - they had ‘forgotten’ my order! These were complimentary! My husband ate his meal & I didn’t really want to eat the tacos as I wanted to be able to eat my meal. My husbands food was well presented & he said it was gorgeous, he ordered the salmon, grilled vegetables & cheesy spicy mash. When he had finished eating (nearly) mine arrived. Again it was well presented ( my tacos were pegged out on a washing line) & they were lovely however I had to ask for my refried beans, they had forgotten them aswell, this is why I have given the service 4* & not 5. We asked for the bill & it appears they told my husband that they had not charged for my meal - the staff knew the service I had received was not acceptable so at least I didn’t have to haggle with them about this & yeh accepted responsibility. It’s a shame about my experience as the food was really nice & the restaurant is worth a visit… just wish the music was a little quieter!

Aside from the food, LOVE IT. It’s a really cool experience to be there. The staff are super nice. They move so fast! They’re also knowledgeable about the menu. Some old-school music videos from both Mexican and English music play on two screens in the background and set the vibe. There was a certain point that they had sparklers which was fun and they seem to make celebrations really special. So…4 out of the 5 people I was with had some stomach/lower body issues afterwards. We all ate here for dinner. I had steak and vegetables and was fine but others got some seafood and brisket. They had an interesting evening.

The staff were very attentive and friendly. But the food, unfortunately, was the worst meal I've had in Mexico. Steak appetizer was thinly sliced steak served raw with a hot rock. They did not mention I had to cook it myself. The meat was bland, flavorless and had not salt. The salad was covered in cheese and served with a chamois stick one usually finds in a margarita or michelada. The Old Fashioned was served with crushed ice, granulated sugar and a maraschino cherry, definitely not an authentic Old Fashioned for such an upscale restaurant. I do not recommend Porfirio. They could do better.
