T3’s Sushi Tequila sits airside near international departures
This is the sushi-and-margarita spot in Cancún International Airport’s Terminal 3, past security and aimed squarely at people killing time before US and Canada flights. You’ll see the name “Sushi Tequila” on overhead boards once you clear passport control and walk toward the main duty-free corridor.
Menu boards lean on basic rolls, tempura items, and tequila-based drinks, with prices in Mexican pesos that translate roughly to mid-tier US airport levels (think USD $12–$18 for rolls, $8–$12 for cocktails, depending on exchange rate). Expect the usual California- and shrimp-style rolls rather than anything high-end omakase.
Seating is standard high-top and table style directly in the T3 concourse, so you’re eating in view of common gates used by airlines like American and United. That makes it easy to keep an eye on boarding screens at the same time, and you’re realistically under a 3–5 minute walk to most Terminal 3 gates once you pay and leave.
Quality reports for this exact T3 branch are thin compared with the better-documented spots in T2 and T4, so treat it more as “airport sushi plus a drink” than a destination meal. If your layover is short, stick to one roll and one drink to keep turnaround under 30–40 minutes, including order time and check signing.
If you care more about drinks than food, the tequila focus does at least match the name, and you’ll find multiple tequila labels listed on the menu rather than a single house pour. Beer and soft drinks are there too, but the markup on local labels like Modelo or Corona usually comes in under the mixed cocktails.
Practical tip: check your gate on the central T3 screens before you sit down at Sushi Tequila; last-minute gate swaps inside Terminal 3 do happen, and a quick glance saves you from sprinting across the concourse with a to-go box and a half-finished receipt.
