About this spot
Mangata serves up authentic Mexican seafood that feels worlds away from the tourist traps on the main strip, with grilled fish and ceviches that highlight fresh local catches. The open-air setting in Puerto Morelos lets you hear the waves while enjoying plates of shrimp tacos and coconut rice without a crowded room noise.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the ceviche first thing to ensure your fish is caught that morning and perfectly marinated in lime.
- Ask for extra salsa on the side if you want to balance the rich flavors of the grilled seafood dishes.
- Save room for the fresh fruit salad, which is a refreshing way to end a heavy meal by the sea.
