    What scottydog said about the reservations.

    We have had several rolls, shashimi and negiri. All were very good, but nigiri tuna is our favorite! Sometimes we just make a meal of that.

    We would rate the food as ok at best. It can certainly be good after a few drinks, but in comparison to some other resorts it can be a bit lacking.

    Our favorites are the seafood and Asian restaurants. We've also had good luck in heading into the buffet right is it opens for lunch, with lots of fresh offerings.

    This will be our 5th trip and we have always found that the food is good, maybe not great. But we have never been the type to base a resort in Mexico upon food, even though it is certainly a factor. To be honest, the food at TTR could probably be below average and we wouldn't mind. The unique experience that it offers versus other MX resorts is the big draw for us, so having good food is a huge bonus.

    We went December 2024 and the food was good to very good. We didn't think the food was spectacular, although the lamb chops they served Christmas Eve were the exception.

    We had Hibachi at Sutra and actually found the food bland. It's like the chef forgot to season the meats. The fried rice was great and the theatrics were terrific. But the chicken, beef and shrimp were less than stellar. We also had dinner one night at Romanza, the Italian place. The food was OK but the service was slow and the waiter was not friendly. On Wild West night (Sunday) they had a BBQ dinner on the beach. We didn't think the food was that great that night, but it was OK. There was grill out by the Sexy Pool one day for lunch. We were excited because there were crab legs offered. Too bad they didn't provide anything to help break open the shells so we weren't able to really eat any of it.

    We had the rest of our meals, morning, noon and night, at the buffet. The buffet was great and the daytime servers were excellent.

    The buffet had good variety, and the steakhouse was my favorite spot. Some dishes were hit or miss, but overall I didn’t have trouble finding tasty stuff throughout the trip.

    I found the food decent overall—some meals were better than others, but there’s always something to grab, especially during the day. I really liked the taco stand by the pool. I love trying different places when I travel, and https://missmimelbourne.com.au/ gave me some good ideas even though it's Melbourne-based; still fun for getting inspiration on food and drinks.

    Sutra and the buffet were ones I frequented during my trip. I didn't try the hibachi but the tuna and salmon nigiri were great. I wasn't particularly a fan of the other options available. The steakhouse is okay but nothing worth raving about. I also tried room service and thought the wrap was pretty tasty. The buffalo wings I wouldn't recommend.

    The food we found to be excellent. Plenty to choose from at the Buffett. The late night Buffett is really good as someone said the burgers are great. The snacks in the coffee shop are also top draw, There is something for everyone and you certainly will not go hungry.. Thinking about it makes us want to book again!
