These guys decided to join us for dinner.   Air and child crocodile.

Just had a wonderful dinner with my honey. We stsrted with the tuna tar tar. It was good. It had a flavor I could not recognize that I attributed to the sauce. Penny had the seafood risotto. It was enough for two or three people. It tasted great. I had the coconut curry shrimp with coconut rice. Delicious... Proceed are reasonable for what you get. I would come back again.

Ceviche

Hands down the best food we had while we were in Cancun! The resorts are too Americanized, and the Mexican food if any at them lack depth of flavour! We had the ceviche, and the seafood platter for two! (With a side of the habanero sauce - which was AMAZING). The server was very friendly- and attentive. He warned us about the spiciness of the hot sauce, and warned us to not get it on our skin! The restaurant was quaint and overlooks the lagoon- it's like visiting a mom and pop restaurant! Some of the reviews say that the food and drink is overly expensive- I disagree. The restaurants beside and down the street charge more money for lesser quality- service and food! I wish I could remember the servers name- but remember talking to him about how he moved back to Cancun from Texas (we joked about his big belt buckle). - anyways I'd like to thank him for his excellent hospitality!

My husband and I stopped in tonight and were immediately greeted by the sweetest waiters. We were the only people in the restaurant at the time and were a bit skeptical at first but were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the staff were so attentive. We watched crocodiles swimming in the lagoon. The whole dinner was a perfect way to end our trip to Mexico.

Beautiful scenery!

OMG the Shrimp Ceviche was absolutely delicious!!! Huge portion size. We also had the Coconut Lime Pasta with shrimp was very flavorful and satisfying. Stay away from the Tuna

Delicious food, guacamole is the very best! Music playing, beautiful sunset at this place. Alligators in the swamp water wait for food, they don't bother anybody. Good entertainment if you ask me lol

Salmon with mango sauce with green salad.

I stopped for a quick lunch in this place. They have a lot of options for reasonable price. I took the Salmon with mango sauce. It was very good. I can't say the same about my Margarita. I think I'll give them a second chance.

This is me and I recommend this restaurant if you ever come to Cancun .

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

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.

Delicious and authentic Mexican seafood restaurant overlooking the laguna. 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 ;)
