“ I came here twice during my stay. The food was good, not mind blowing but still tasty. Atmosphere is brilliant and is right by the beach so the views are perfect. ”
“ Food was very good, ceviches are highly recommended as well as the calamari, rib eye was very nice as well; service was attentive and the views of the sea are priceless! Furniture is not comfortable though. Kitchen closes at 9pm. Desserts are good, the guayaba cheesecake was delicious! ”
“ If you’re trying to figure out where to eat in Puerto Morales look no further. This is the best food I have had in all of Mexico so far. Ceviche is to die for. Pro tip: get the coconut shrimps. Thank me later ”
“ We didn't eat there so cannot comment on the food, but if you're looking for a margarita, you have to go here. My wife tried several margaritas at different restaurants...this was the best. Also, you sit on the patio and have a great sea-view. ”
“ The original Puerto Morelos restaurant, fishing and great service. We signed up for deep sea fishing and our captain was one of the family who owns it! Thanks Abraham. After fishing he prepared our fish in 5 different ways and checked on us multiple times. ”
