“ I went here for a work lunch, and it was a great choice. Service is quick, and the food is designed for both dine-in and take-out. The menu has a variety of options, and the food is well-priced. My burrito came out a little cold, but it had an excellent taste. I would totally be willing to go back here again. ”

“ I've been here many times. Great shrimp burritos. Great tacos of all sorts. The happy hour quesabarilla is outstanding. Their nachos are all excellent and chips in general are warm and toasty. Bowls are great also. Also a hidden gem here is their organic margarita. ”

“ Maybe I didn't order the best thing but it was just ok, not a whole lot of flavor. Grabbed a bowl way home - chicken was kind of meh - 18$ & tip I don't think it was worth it really maybe happy hour is better just for nibble after work as the space is nice and inviting - I will try a margarita next time see how that goes ”

“ What a wonderful find, this is my go to work lunch when I wanna eat something tasty yet still feel pretty healthy/good about myself lol. Cancun bowl with carne asada is THE BEST but also hurts the bank the most ($18-20). Get this to treat yo self. Carne asada is so tender and juicy. The chicken is also very good and cheaper ($16). It's thigh so ya know it's juicy and tender but personal pref hands down is asada. Comes with a bunch of colorful goodies like black beans, guacamole, mushrooms, peppers and rice. It's visually so appealing and it tastes so fresh. Prob will be there next week. ”

“ I barely get enough from Cenote! Not only was the food and drink in good quality, but also more authentic enough to transport me back to the ancient Mayan period where the watering hole had been clean for ages. Since I have my own gift card, it's about time I come here for their zesty Mexican food. The first time I bought a steak torta for my brother, he thought the beef flavor was so dry to him. It appears that there's absolutely nothing from the menu option that's suitable to his palate. Second time would be my lunchtime. The Yucatan Bowl definitely hits the spot! Good quality vegetables with vegan taco meat over rice seasoned with herbs and spices! The avocado slices looked and tasted colorfully fresh from the very beginning. Might try Cancun Bowl on the next future visit if I'm brave enough against the spiciness! Churros in a caramel dip were extremely filling than sugary glaze. No horchata, no problem! The Cucumber Lime Fresca was a better refreshing choice than an alcoholic mezcal. Good to meet and greet the people working in a family run restaurant as unique as Cenote. They provided good catering service for my workplace close by. I admit that the steak cubes were dry when I had another spoonful in my mouth, but there's nothing to it since Cenote makes good quality Mexican food from scratch. Just as the watering hole looks clean, so was the food. ”

“ The ambiance is nice. I came with my husband and another couple. We ordered and sat down and the food was brought to us with utensils. There are two water pitchers for self serve. The food was good! Was it blow me away best I ever had? No. But I got the garlic shrimp Cali burrito with pinto instead of black beans and I would 100% come here again when I'm nearby which is often because I work near enough to Embarcadero. It's like a bougie chipotle and since I can only eat halal I'm happy they have well made shrimp. They offer vegan ground beef but I'd pick shrimp anyways. Service was solid. They were pleasant enough not beaming with joy or anything but not offensively frowning either. I do wish it was noted verbally or on the menu that sodas come with one free refill. We only found out bc my husband finished his and liked it enough he was willing to ask for a second cup. ”

“ A great lunch spot to have with friends or colleagues. Came here with some colleagues to grab lunch and we shared a bunch of things together, while also having our own bowls/ personal plates. We shared some guac and salsas and had extra beans and rice on the side. The chips and guac were fresh and good for sharing. I got a Tulum bowl, which came with cilantro lime rice, pinto beans, shredded cheese, garbano beans, mango salsa, icle jalapenos, pepitas and salsa verde. I added extra guac to my bowl. My bowl was good but I made the mistake of not really reading through the menu since I don't really enjoy beans and there were a lot of beans in my bowl. Not a problem though, I just ate around it haha. The mango salsa was refreshing to eat with every bite of my burrito bowl though so I quite enjoyed that. The food came out quickly and served to our table. Water is self serve from a jug. Overall, it was good but not amazing. Still a good spot to go to with colleagues or friends. ”

“ Cenote is a great spot for fast but substantial Mexican food in the Financial district. I was in town for a work conference and our small group decided to grab lunch at Cenote. We got some chips, salsa, and guac for the table to share and I got the street style tacos with steak. We came right before the lunch rush so the ordering process was pretty quick and easy. The food came out in good time and the staff was attentive and friendly. I really loved my steak tacos and everyone else also enjoyed their food. The portion size was really good and all of our meals were tasty. It got super busy as soon as the lunch rush came in but I don't think it was every super overwhelming. A great lunch option in the city. ”

“ This was an incredible option for a fresh and delicious fast casual lunch. Our group loved everything we tried! The menu is huge with a variety of tacos, sandwiches, bowls, etc. I lovedmy tacos - the pork and steak were so juicy and flavorful! You can order tacos in a few different styles, and these came topped with lots of pico, cheese and crema. The tortilla chips were unreal good and tasted like they were made fresh in house. The guacamole is a can't miss, and even our sides of rice and beans were anything but basic. There is also a cute little bar - perfect if you want to pair your eats with a beer or marg. We were in a bit early for lunch (at around 11) and it was quiet, but by the time we left at noon it was a packed house. I can definitely see why. I'm not in the area often, but if I'm back for work it'll be hard to leave Cenote out of my lunch plans. ”
