on a 5 hour road trip from Mahahual to Merida we were thrilled to find this delightful Mariscos style restaurant open as it is Semana Santa. Be patient and follow Google directions as it is a number of streets off the main road. The botana served with the drinks was a chile seafood soup that was delicious.
Amazing seafood at very reasonable prices just a little ways off the main highway.
A true hidden gem! The surroundings look quite plain, but all the food was fantastic. We got a fish soup as an appetiser and had shrimp, octopus, and fish fillet as mains. The portion sizes were generous to say the least.
Great place to eat, cannot comment on fact that they have only shrimp as we ordered only those, but both dishes were great, ceviche and shrimp in Garlic both wet great, maybe I could have wanted few more shrimps compared to what was on my wife's ceviche but taste was good and it was only 130 and 135. Beer was 30 and you get a small free seafood soup which was great as well. The only downside is they don't really have menu so if you don't speak Spanish as we you have o work the pictures from here.
Wow - what a place. Stopped here on our way from Merida to Bacalar. You need to try rhe soup and the ceviche. But be cautious: the portions are huge!
Loved this place. The coconut shrimp was really delicious (and so was the sauce). All the staff also were in a great mood.
Very friendly staff, delicious and fresh food and huge portions
We had a fantastic lunch here.... Off the main drag a bit but worth the extra travel. Our pups enjoyed the atmosphere!
