“Out of the hustle and bustle, for those in the know. Cancun's Argentinian Steakhouse”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2012

Restaurante Tinto, in Cancun, is not located in the busy 'zona hotelera', nor downtown, it is on the other side of the lagoon, close by to the airport. The restaurant is located in the shopping area where Sam's Club and Superama are. Built as a stand alone building much to the same design standards as any American suburban strip center,... More

“A Fond Way to Say “Hello” or “Goodbye” to Cancun”

person found this review helpful

Fine food and extraordinary wine make Tinto a superior dining choice for weary tourists. Located on Blvd. Luis Donaldo Colosio, aka Airport Blvd., the stand-alone restaurant is found a few miles from the Cancun Airport access road going toward downtown Cancun, in front of Walmart. I wanted a good meal before boarding a long flight back to the United States... More

person found this review helpful

We had no idea how far from the center of town and the hotel zone Tinto was, but it was totally worth going there. Even thought this is at the edge of a shopping center parking lot and has no view, the restaurant was beautiful with light coming through the wine bottles that are uniquely held horizontally in the high...
