    Incredible service, gorgeous location, and good food. It was our favourite restaurant in Cancun. There is live music and a friendly atmosphere. Very different from the usual tourist spot. We had Raul as our server on two visits and he's a dream. Really five star service and the team actually seems to enjoy themselves. Makes a great atmosphere. The owner came out and welcomed us, and we were checked on by staff through. Never waited for anything but weren't bothered or rushed either

    Super good. Get these dishes! Skip the tostadas, we had 2 pulpo and bonanza and they were nothing special.

    We recently visited a beachfront restaurant and had such a wonderful experience that we dined there twice during our stay. The first thing that struck us was the amazing vibe of the place. It was casual, laid-back, and had a wonderful beachy feel to it. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. We tried many dishes, and each one was better than the last. From the fresh seafood to the amazing tacos everything was top-notch. The drinks were also amazing, with a great selection of cocktails to choose from. We especially loved the mezcal which were perfect for sipping on while enjoying the beautiful beach views. But what really set this restaurant apart was the outstanding service we received. Our server, Shani, was attentive and helpful, making great suggestions and taking great care to ensure that our dining experience was perfect. Overall, I would highly recommend this beachfront restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience

    Would give 10 stars if I could. We visited on the last day of our trip and it instantly became my favourite restaurant in Cancun 😍 Fresh seafood, oysters and fish (fresh as in just arrived from the sea) amazing view, excellent service , beautiful laid back ambiance with nice music. If you haven’t been here, you’re definitely missing out!

    Lovely food and drinks. I had these octopus tacos, which were AMAZING and as well as the mango curry civeche. The view on the beach and all round experience was wonderful. The food was nice and spicy to my liking, highly recommend this place if you are in the Puerto Juarez area. Prices are decent, quite the same if I was back home, but maybe slightly cheaper, nothing drastic. The wait staff were excellent and very attentive. I’ll definitely go back.

    Excellent food. The chips came with two sauces. Both spicy. Had seafood soup.. see small cup. Very good. Then we had shrimp and octopus ceviche. Definitely enough for two people.

    Ate there twice in 5 days. Awesome food and service! Toes in the sand. Cool bar and quiet secluded waterfront dining.

    The best sea food I had while vacationing in Cancun. We spent about $100 US dollars; a little pricey but totally worth the freshness and flavor. We had the shrimp ceviche, tostadas, guacamole and cocktails. Phenomenal service. Right off the port, overlooking the ocean.

    We had such an amazing dinner here after discovering it's literally 5 mins walk along the beach from Dreams Vista Hotel (where we stayed) the service was very helpful by Luis who brought out the catch of the day and we decided on having the lobster which was fairly priced and was absolutely delicious, we also had some amazing oysters for starters very fresh and tasty along with some fried prawns in garlic, tasty mash and garlic mushrooms! 10/10 for the food and the views and service, we sat outside by the sand in the evening catching a nice breeze. Cocktails were really good too and fairly priced! I would totally recommend this for one of the best sea food restaurants in Cancun.

    We were treated like Royalty here for my birthday! Our servers Kevin, Abel and Martin gave us exceptional service! Our food was absolutely delicious! We had the seafood equites and the Carribean lobster and it was one of the best things we ate on our whole trip! Highly recommend and it feeds 2 people, we didn’t finish and took the rest with us. They made our experience so special and memorable which we greatly appreciated! We definitely will be back the next time we are in Cancun! Ask for our servers because they were the best and so friendly!

    Really great ambiance! They give you a free seafood soup as a starter Food is fresh but tastes "touristy", portions are small for the price they charge and waiters nudge you to order the flashy and expensive stuff (i.e. lobster) Recommended? Only if you want to impress someone

  • 4/5 Hugo A. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant has a really great beach section. The tables are well distributed and everyone was really helpful. The food tasted great and the spicy side of it, was really hot. The things that make me give this place 4 stars are: the waiters a lot of time were going from one place to another without coordination so service was clumsy at times, the price doesn't correspond to the quantity of the food and the kids area is just a boat stuck on the sand. I would recommend this place to take a group or for a date if you want to be by the beach in Cancun and with one or two toddlers, no babies.

    All in all good experience. Fresh fish with a good quality. A bit expensive, but you are near Cancun and you have to expect it. Waitresses are cool but they insist a bit too much to make you choose one dish with respect to another. Anyways as I said a good option near Puerto Juarez.

  • 4/5 Arveen C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, the staff was attentive and it's near the beach. The drink was okay, and the shrimp dish was yummy. The view of the beach was an added bonus. Would recommend.

  • 3/5 Patricia T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibe, music, and tables next to the shore. Food is good, but not impressive. Pricey for the small amount that they give you. They also don’t have that much options for toddlers… I don’t know if my husband and I didn’t dress up enough for this place but their service to us was lacking. They attended to the “dressier” people at the place quicker. Hate it when places are like this…. And they expected a big tip…

  • 5/5 Danger M. 11 months ago on Google
    What a great spot on the beach! Luis was our server and he was very attentive. We had the ceviche and the casserole langosta. Both were excellent! The margaritas are a little pricey but we’re also very good. We’ll definitely be coming here again

  • 5/5 Mike McMillan (. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent atmosphere, beautiful views, take your shoes off and feel the sand on your feet and enjoy the great food and spectacular service from one of the best kept secrets in Cancun area. Drinks are excellent and not watered down. Sneak on over here!

  • 5/5 Elaina E. 9 months ago on Google
    The prices are perfect for the experience you will receive here. The staff, food, views are beyond amazing. Will definitely be returning when I come back to Cancun!

    Carlo was absolutely fantastic. Took the time to explain to us items on the menu. Great food and customer service. A must visit location. They have live music on Fridays and weekends starting at 5pm.

  • 5/5 Danielle Rogg G. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful view, delicious food, attentive service. We loved the salsa and chips they brought out for starts - very spicy! The mango curry ceviche was one of the most delicious and unique dishes I have ever tried. I loved the combination of flavors! My husband got camarones poblanos and those were also so yummy! Tried the margarita de maracuyá and it did not disappoint! Great experience overall and you can’t beat the view!

    Stayed next door at Dreams Vista - an all inclusive with the worst most inedible food ever. Luckily, Puerto Santo was next door, and was able to save our 10day family vacation. The food was “muy delicioso”. When I couldn’t get out to cocobongo / hotel zone, I would happily just walk down (via the besch) and enjoy a meal (of course, we also ordered to go - every single time). Thank you Puerto Santo!!!!

    Amazing food and ambience, eating good seafood 🦞 barefoot 🦶 in the sand with good music 🎶 and an efficient service.

    This place was nice, very clean and attentive service. However, I ordered the coconut shrimp which could have been delicious but it was so overcooked that the coating was rock hard and shrimp was rubbery. Very disappointing with how expensive it is.

😠 This is the first time here and I ordered an omelette with veggies and cheese. When I seen it first I was kind of irritated how they just put the veggies in the omelette but I must admit it was very good. As you know already I like it simple, fresh, and good. The dish came with chips and an awesome...
