The other Cancún – Explore the neighborhood, discover great food and more

“Beer Barrel Polka” bobs through the moist heat with a tropical, jack-in-the-box flair. The trio at the busy, open-air restaurant is a marimba band, and two of the musicians hammer away on their wooden cousin to a xylophone.

They wear white short-sleeve shirts and matching pants, and could pass as barbers in the States. Because their featured instrument is the size of a park bench, they can’t stroll among the tables. They use eyes and smiles to encourage diners to place pesos in their upturned hat.

The air is also thick with the aroma of shrimp — boiled or seared, it is the local specialty — and Americanos’ attention keeps wandering to the full plates coming out of the kitchen, or the octopus-crab-shrimp ceviche appetizer on the tables.”*
