Story & Atmosphere
Sushi Tequila
Located in the heart of Quintana Roo’s airport at 05120 Cancun, Sushi Tequila offers a culinary escape that blends Japanese flavors with a vibrant Mexican twist. This busy spot consistently impresses travelers seeking a quick yet satisfying meal before their flight. The ambience captures the essence of an airport eatery—fast service paired with friendly staff, serving fresh dishes crafted to order.
The highlight here is undoubtedly the sushi rolls. Customers praise the flavorful dragon roll and the Cancun sushi, which harmoniously marry traditional techniques with local ingredients, including a standout mango sauce that lends a unique sweetness and depth. The shrimp poke bowl is another crowd favorite, filling and fresh, although some advise mindful ripeness on the mango component. For ramen and udon lovers, the menu offers comforting soups brimming with rich broth and generous portions, though the yakisoba noodles in the ramen may be softer than expected.
Drinks like the "ojos rojos," a beer-based concoction with lemon, salt, and clam juice, elevate the dining experience, adding a refreshing note that complements the bold flavors of the food. Prices hover around $20 USD for meals and $15 USD for drinks, reasonable for airport dining in this tourist hotspot.
Overall, Sushi Tequila balances speed, taste, and quality under airport constraints. While not a gourmet destination, it excels at delivering fresh, savory dishes with genuine warmth and efficiency. Whether craving traditional sushi, rich ramen, or inventive drinks, this spot turns layover time into a flavorful moment worth savoring.

“ Busy place but they were fast to serve, were very nice, and the food was very tasty. Expect to pay around $20US per meal and $15 per drink. The rolls were delicious. ”
“ I don’t understand how this place has under 4 stars. The food was excellent and reasonably priced, especially for being in an airport. Our server was also very friendly and the service was quick! ”
“ Had four different dishes here, flavor was good. Dragon roll was very good, shrimp poke was good, except the mango was overly ripe and was not great. The ramen was flavorful, but the noodle they use is yakisoba noodle and it was very soggy. The wafu udon was great too. Service is good as well. ”
“ I dunno what everyone is complaining about lol it is a Mexican Japanese franchise at an airport obviously it's going to be overpriced and not a gourmet experience. I got the tempura udon and it definitely tasted like a from the package situation both in flavor and portion but it was hot and the tempura was crunchy and had real veggies and the service was fast and nice. The drinks were also the cheapest at the terminal. All in all I was satisfied with a fast hot meal at the airport. Pic is after a few bites, sorry! ”
“ Fantastic airport dining experience! We were honestly impressed by this sushi and soup place at Cancun Airport. The service was amazing — super friendly and fast. Everything was freshly cooked to order, and the flavors were spot on. The soup was comforting, the Cancun sushi was outstanding, and that special mango sauce really took it to the next level — a total cherry on top! Even the Japanese cake was a pleasant surprise — light and delicious. Water isn’t free (typical in Mexico), but the quality of the food and the overall experience absolutely justify the price. Highly recommend if you’re craving something fresh and satisfying before your flight! ”
