    It looks very professional and nice restaurant, however the staff can speak in English really just a bit, therefore there were too many miscommunications.... Their menu is awesome, but many of the dishes they don't provide from it, for example plates for 2+ person, only individuals. Don't know their own menu, the dishes made by the restaurant, so at the end 3 waiters were needed to explain us 1-1 dish, or just to answer a simple question whether there is side included in the plate or we need to order additional. Next to all to be fair, they were kind and the food was delicious.

    I came here for lunch because I heard it's a good place for seafood. First, I went to their restaurant in Heroes (on 20 de Noviembre) and turned out that has been closed recently 🙁. This restaurant, on Av. Chichen Itza, is still open and it is a great place for fish and seafood. The service was excellent, waiters very very friendly and attentive. I had the tropical shrimps, they come inside a pineapple with a delicious sauce and a side of rice and mixed vegetables. Best shrimps I've had for a while. I will definitely come back here.

    Great place to take a quick bite or a full meal. Food is excellent, all related to products from the sea. Service is excellent As you can see in the photo of the fish, it was so good that while I took the picture the other guys almost finished it.

    We never even got our food lol being that I speak perfect Spanish there was no miscommunication just bad service. They kept bringing us other peoples food. And 18 minutes for any drink, also go ahead and ask for Ice the drinks come out hot and It’s 18 minutes for them to bring that to you too. Mind you this place was empty cause it was raining. 0 star. I had to ask 5 people for my check and that ALSO that took another 13 minutes.

    We went there all excited because of recommendations. They were out of shrimp out of Langston. Only fish and big expensive lobsters #300 lol) and small ones 50 each comon man. Well we had no choice so we got a grilled mid size snapper very tasty. Veggies were amazing. The grilled octopus was amazing. Staff very nice. Oh and the pacific oysters AMAZING!!!

    There is a small little eatery with the name Nuestra El Timon de Cancun across from the Juarez Ferry pedestrian walkway. We are assuming it is a third location for this restaurant. They have the ultimate fish tacos and great service from friendly people. We ate there a few times (and I don’t normally care for fish). Highly recommend them if you want a quick bite before or after a day at the beach or going to or from the ferry.

    We went there to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday because the restaurant was recommended as a place with good food, a nice view, and at a reasonable price. The service was ok, but when I told the server we were celebrating my sister's birthday, he took us to pick out food from their fresh catch bar (which apparently was several days old). Unfortunately, the lobster tail we selected was hard to chew and had little flavor, and the fish was almost uneatable because of all the fish bones in every bite. What was even worse is that the total bill came out to more than $500 for only three people, mainly because of the $360 dollar lobster tail. I get that we should have asked for price, but never in our wildest dreams did we think anything that bad would cost that much. The atmosphere was good, and the rest of the food was ok, but be sure to ask questions about price rather than simply taking the server's recommendations. They also went ahead and added a nice tip to the bill even though there were only three of us. Don't buy the lobster!!!

    Out of the two locations this one by far is the better choice. The service was better, the food was prepared better, also the atmosphere just didn’t have the touristy feel. I felt as if they worked harder here in hopes you would return. I ordered the coconut shrimp, and it was perfectly done. I like the places away from the tourists trap.

    Great seafood, not super expensive, and they add an indoor trampoline and playground for kids. For me it's a must go when im in Cancun. I love it. My favorite thing there is just the shrimp and fish tacos. My husband liked the fish plate too.

  • 5/5 Qamar K. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious sea food tacos and shrimp soup. Clean restaurant with good service. Price compare to Canada is very cheap

  • 3/5 Pawel C. 2 years ago on Google
    We were at dinner, the fish soup was terrible, it's more like tomato soup with pieces of fish inside. Ceviche average for Mexico, you will find much better elsewhere. Tacos quite nice, but generally weak place.

  • 5/5 Rodolfo M. 2 years ago on Google
    Taste so good makes you wanna slap yo mama!!! Seriously delicious. Must try I ate the mixed cocktail and mix ceviche. If you are here in cancun you have to stop by this place. Very clean and staff was very professional and helpful

  • 5/5 Oscar O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service from the staff, from start to end. I feel like the food could possibly seasoned better, but, other than that is good! Like I said, staff is amazing! Oh, the places is also well decorated.

  • 4/5 Jim B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food. Casual. Indoor dining good for families. No aire acondicionado.

  • 4/5 M F. 2 years ago on Google
    It's an outdoor restaurant with a large seafood option. Great drinks, food, atmosphere and music. Definitely recommend for a good time with local Mexican food. We ordered margaritas, ceviche, guacamole, and tacos.

😠 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...
