About this spot
Situated on the calm waters of Puerto Morelos, this marina-side spot serves up authentic Caribbean seafood that feels worlds away from the tourist traps of downtown Cancún. Expect generous portions of grilled fish and fresh ceviche that highlight the region's pristine catch rather than heavy sauces. The breezy atmosphere makes it perfect for watching the sunset over the lagoon while enjoying a cold beer.
💡 Tips before you go
- Arrive before 6:00 PM to secure a table with an outdoor seat overlooking the marina.
- Order the ceviche first as the lime-marinated fish is freshest at the start of the service.
- Ask for extra tortillas if you want to make traditional tacos al pastor or enjoy them alongside your seafood platter.
