    Margaritas
    Kenny P.

    Just stopped in for a quick drink , which lead to many more. Probably the best margarita I have ever had! Friendly service and nice atmosphere. A must visit to all.

    Seafood soup came with our combo. Very nice seafood flavor

    Was a cute little place tucked away in the backside of la isla so not a lot of foot traffic. Drinks are big. Get their surf and turf or surf and surf. Lots of buttery goodness perfect for 2. The owner and wait staff were very friendly! There was a sign posted saying "cash only" but we didn't have any on us and we used card no problem (no fuss, surprised reading the other reviews about cash). They used the handheld machine at our table.

    Of all the restaurants I went to while in Cancun, this was hands down my favorite. The food was delicious. It was the best tocos I've ever had in my life. Our waiter Jazz was amazing, he gave 5 star service. Prices were also very reasonable. This will be the first place I go to when I come back.

    Walking up, the greeter was amazing. The co-owner took our order while sitting with us telling jokes and taking about life experiences. This is just to let everyone know the atmosphere was electric. My husband ordered a beer for a man and it was big enough for three men. I had the passion fruit margarita and it came in an over-sized mason jar...once again enough for two people or a real alcoholic (lol). The food, we both ordered steak and lobster with baked potatoes and toss salad. The food was flavorful and cooked to order. Please come see Andy!!! Oh, the price for two was under 150.00. The music booming through the speakers was Motown, once catering to African American customers that filled the restaurant. However, anything you request Andy would accommodate. We're coming back tomorrow!!!!

    Mixed! Wife's lobster was good, my filet and shrimp was a mistake! Drinks were fabulous, service was attentive! Pros: drinks Cons: charge $265 mxn for tables service, and that is not a tip for your waiter. I have spent less money for better food these past 2 weeks. Will return for drinks ‍

    Surf and turf platter for two
    Tamara K.

    We really enjoyed the food and the service!! Great platters with great side dishes were good and it was not expensive at all for a mall restaurant.

    Shrimp tacos
    Madyson D.

    Super yummy and great service! Only downside was the card machine was acting up so we had to get cash at an atm next door to pay which of course charged a fee! But besides that, great little place :) def recommended the coconut shrimp!! SO YUM

    Langosta a la parrilla
    Alexandra D.

    This place was pretty good. We had the grilled lobster and the steak and lobster. Yes they are baby lobsters but I think between the veggies and the pasta it was enough food. Also great margaritas.. apparently between 5-8pm they give you the mason jar margarita 150 pesos each. Tip typically gets included to your bill automatically.

    Surf & Surf dinner for 2 - lobster, shrimp, salmon, fish + sides and 2-for-1 martinis
    Mark P.

    Great value, great service, and great food! Do yourself a favor - skip right past the Chili's, Hooters, and other restaurants that want to churn/scam you and head straight to Baby Lobster. It's a bit tucked away on the north side of the Isla Mall, but that also makes for a nice relaxing meal on the 'riverfront' away from the crowds. Andy is a great server and makes you feel right at home - especially with the 2-for-1 martinis. We really enjoyed our meal here and would highly recommend it to others. Super easy to get to via the 10-peso buses that run up and down the hotel strip every 30 seconds.

    Ricardo was the best waiter, we have been in Cancun for five days and this was by far the best food ever.

    This is a smaller place in a plaza, so blink and you'll miss it. I started with a margarita as…read moreusual. It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.

    Decided to come here because it's expensive to eat on the resort we're at. We were sat down…read moreimmediately and they promptly took our order. The menu is simple with just enough options to where everyone can find something they like. I had the skirt steak tacos and my friend got fish tacos, We also ordered a frozen margarita and mojito that were huge!!!!! The prices were fair for what you get and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. The music is not too loud so you can have a conversation with your group. They are not pushy to get you in and out like other places. Will definitely be back

If you want beautiful…read morescenery, high quality seafood, and a less-touristy atmosphere in the hotel zone, check this place out! Waiters speak Spanish and English, are very friendly, and absolutely no wait for the waterfront table. The shrimp ceviche had so many shrimp with a tasty sweet sauce and avocado garnish. Guacamole was perfectly prepared, and all meals come with tortilla chips and a variety of salsas on a decorative boat tray. The tuna steak and Salmon with Lime Sauce were prepared perfectly and were both tasty and high quality. Sadly, the food was so delicious and filling we had no room to try the desserts. About a block away from the Isla Mall, but a much more authentic experience than the mall restaurants. A must-try dinner spot for seafood lovers in the Cancun hotel zone.

    Awesome. Nothing new for Cancún eats on Hotels Kukulcán…read moreBlvd. Totally dug the wide variety of fresh selections sitting at this gorgeous beachfront locale. From varying tortas, quesadillas, & burritos; to seafood risotto's & shiny tuna steaks.. (get the Camarones à la Mexicana). (Needs to get the Octopus off menu; cmon.) Check out the outdoor cabana-style comfortable seating area next to the joyful boat dock. Service is quick, efficient, extremely friendly, and informed.. as expected ;)
