Shhh, secret seafood hideaway in the hotel zone! Pretty spot on the lagoon, delicious seafood and great prices! Try the pescadillas and a michelada! (They often have "check in" deals!)

I love this place! Authentic tasting food, cheap prices, and fun atmosphere. You feel like you're away from the hotel/tourist scene and actually in a foreign country. Love it!!

I just loved this place. Laidback, very mexican in all the best ways, with live musicians who played by each table. Try the shrimp tacos.

The fish tacos and the service were excellent. Go down the stairs to the restaurant on the sand by the lagoon and actually relax.

The fiesta shrimp is pretty spicy but wrapped in bacon and awesome. Huge selection of local alcohol.
Ivy GlickJune 29, 2013
We ordered tacos from the stand and they were amazing and only 10 pesos each! There is also a restaurant downstairs. We avoided the fresh veggies just in case.

More affordable and authentic than most restaurants in this area. The whole fish was delicious and margaritas were not too sweet!

Hot as balls but really good food. Nice service. Beware of the lady just plopping sombreros on your head for a picture. $7

The fiesta shrimps are delicious I could have 3 orders and still crave more. Good food excelent service.

It’s not become WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! It used to be a nice hidden gem for walk-in visitors but now it’s a Guy Fiery’s whatever and it’s lost its charm. Food flavor is still good, but not worth the price

Best Mexican food we had in Cancun local but fresh clean and quick
Chris FullerMarch 18, 2013
The restaurant is hidden behind the street stand. Order the catch of the day - these guys are amazing!

Really good seafood, very local but nice. Ugly at first sight, just go downstairs
Tracey TempleSeptember 9, 2014
The pescadillas are delicious, we'd go all the way back to Mexico for these alone!
Colin LeeDecember 16, 2019
There’s a taco stand and the restaurant is behind the stand, going down on the stairs

Shrimp ceviche just ok. Shrimp cut up so you can't determine their size.
Daniel LivensjöJanuary 1, 2016
The shrimp fritanga was super spicy and very good!
Kat 🐱November 7, 2015
Excellent ceviche but the tacos are disappointing.
Misty MartineauApril 9, 2013
Amazing food, unassuming storefront. Walk downstairs!
JennieJanuary 1, 2016
The shrimp fritanga was fantastic!
Adéla TajnáNovember 16, 2020
Never again. I have had a creamy seafood with potatoes and I was vomiting alnight, stomach ache all day long... It was probably old seafood. In restaurant in this price range it should not happen.

The fried fish tacos are amazing!!!!
Gorkem CetinFebruary 14, 2020
You won’t be disappointed :)
Francisco FloresFebruary 11, 2012
Ask for the shrimp fiesta! There is no such thing as too much bacon!!
LL JordanJanuary 23, 2023
Fried fish, margaritas and ceviche

Taste the delicious Arroz a la Tumbada!
Chris ChanJanuary 15, 2016
Seafood! Octopus ceviche!
Kat 🐱November 21, 2015
Ceviche is really good but tacos are cold and tasteless...
Andrea SuarezFebruary 24, 2013
Staff was unorganized and poor, chatting amongst themselves and not tending to customers. Fish tacos were over-breaded, fried &cold?. The mayo-fish taco was worse. Worst meal I've had this this trip

i think you need to run a special for the mayor =)

Very eloquent

Don't believe the other reviews that say this place isn't touristy. Place borderlines on bad chain food.

El mejor lugar de pescados y mariscos en Cancun al mejor precio, la calidad y la atención inmejorable, las vistas a la Laguna y los atardeceres una delicia, visita obligada.

Quieren probar algo rico ?? Pan de cazón y camarones fiesta, camarones chabacanos mmmmm sin palabras y las pescadillas no piden faltar :)
Juan Luis R. PonsSeptember 29, 2019
El sabor de los platillos y sus precios accesibles lo hace uno de mis restaurantes favoritos de Cancún. Disfruta el atardecer con sus pescadillas, una parrillada de mariscos o los camarones chabacanos
Cyn Buenfil ZMay 6, 2016
Delicioso, tienen que probar las pescadillas! Y el arroz con mariscos además el precio es bastante razonable y te atienden súper bien
Kirill VorobyevFebruary 15, 2013
Крутая еда, энергичные официанты. Берите grill plate из морепродуктов (нет в меню, спросить у официанта) - за 600 песо вы получите разные креветки, лобстера, рыбу на гриле, кальмаров и т.д. Ну и вина!
Victor PinedaDecember 14, 2014
Las pescadillas son muy buenas, es mi recomendación. Lo de la foto es pan de cazón y es buena opción por precio y cantidad.
Natzu CervantesJanuary 24, 2018
Las tostadas de agua chile de camarón son las mejores que he probado. Pidan la piña colada con amaretto.
El Fish FritangaSeptember 3, 2013
Cuando nos visites no olvides pedir al centro nuestras mundialmente famosas pescadillas. ¡Una delicia al paladar! ;D

Estas son las pescadillas, no dudes en pedirlas, muy sabrosas y económicas. Las venden del lado de la laguna.
Ademir RodriguezNovember 5, 2017
Súper bueno, lugar agradable, servicio deja mucho que desear. Recomendación imperdible las pescadillas, la salsa de habanero es súper buenísima
Cristian UrzuaJune 25, 2013
El secreto mejor guardado de la ZH. Nada como su marranillosas pescadillas fritas y su excelente ceviche. También recomendado para los godinez de la ZH con veinte minutos de break y mucha hambre!
Daniela I.July 5, 2013
Pescadillas ricas, muuy ricos los tacos, excelente vista mientras no llenen el muelle de lanchas, pidan la mesa del fondo a la hora del atardecer, y tienen repelente de mosquitos!!!
Cynthia AlcaláJuly 11, 2016
Las pescadillas y camaroncillas son lo máximo junto con la cazuela de mariscos, una linda vista a la laguna... 100% recomendable
Roberto TannuriDecember 7, 2015
Ceviche delicioso e mariscada com lagosta, peixe branco, camaroes, lula, deliciosa!! Como falam por aqui, prato rico rico rico
Arturo VelascoSeptember 15, 2019
Muy recomendado después de un día de playa y sol, las pescadillas no deben dejar pasar !
