ROAD TRIP: PUERTO MORALES Finally returned to one of our favorites, El Campanario , in Puerto Morelos, and what a fabulous time it was. They moved from their previous location, to Javier Rojo Gomez. There new location is such a peaceful and beautiful setting, with double the space, and have extended hours that now include breakfast . It's a family owned Argentine restaurant of three generations where you are treated as family from the time of your first arrival. And they have an amazing house dog, Fresia , who loves the love. We're totally addicted to their steaks, whether it's the grilled prime rib, filet mignon, ribeye or sirloin. The portions are huge, accompanied by fries or baked potato, broccoli, tomatoes, and fresh bread. The meat is top quality and consistently grilled to perfection. They feature an extensive menu, excellent service and are reasonably priced. It's a lovely setting and we could not have been happier to see our friends. Oh, and excellent live music! What more could you ask for?

Filet and Filet w/ shrimp.
Gary H.

We went here for dinner last night based on other reviews on Yelp and we were not disappointed. Things started off great with 2 for 1 cervezas and very healthy mixed drink. We both ordered the filet, mine came with shrimp. These steaks were quite large, 300gr. Both cooked about right. Veggies and potatoes were also good. Not too busy and service was good. Worth a trip.

Mollejas: sweetbread

Wow! Just wow! This place is absolutely amazing! Starting with the customer service! Our server Saul was such a cool guy! Took his time with us, super attentive, 10/10!! Let move on to the food . Appetizers: Mollejas 50 out of 10! All the meat is wood fired so the flavor is amazing! Mollejas were perfectly cooked and so tender! Next we had the bone marrow! Omg! Butter of the Gods! Done immaculately and served with tortillas and a fresh made tomato salsa on the side that was to die for! Main course: My wife had a Tierra y mar: perfectly grilled shrimp over a bed of sautéed vegetables paired with a beautiful cut of ribeye cooked medium of course with a side of mashed potatoes. 50/10! I had the prime rib cut. This was not your typical Lawry's prime rib. It was basically a grilled bone in ribeye that was equally delectable. It was paired with a loaded baked potato. 50/10!! I also mentioned it was my birthday and they brought me out a slice of Mexican home made cheesecake that was also very good! 10/10! Definitely will be back! Everything was above expectations!

Chiles en Nogada
Jessica F.

My steak was cooked to a perfect medium like I ordered it! The service was phenomenal! They had bug spray when they noticed we were getting bitten by mosquitos. My grandparents love this restaurant. My grandma LOVES their chiles en nogada which are typically only served during Sept/Oct during pomegranate season. The music at the next door restaurant is quite loud so it carries over at a nice noise level to their restaurant.

Ribeye steak
Adriana M.

Second time here. Omg this place is amazing! Steak , chicken whatever you can't go wrong. Consistency makes the difference I always visit a place a couple times to see if the service maybe different or food different but el campanario always brings the best. Food and service are just fantastic. Ambiance is delightful, around 7:30pm the will have life music and just and amazing musician playing today we had saxophone .

Rib-eye with broccoli and baked potato
Stephanie H.

This food is sooooooo good ! The service is awesome! This is the best rib-eye I've ever had! The restaurant is inexpensive! Definitely coming back !

Prime Rib
Troy D.

Amazing dinner. We are visiting from St. Louis, MO. This food was so amazing that we are going to leave our all inclusive resort and come back a second time this week.

Blue Cheese Filet

I had a wonderful experience. Even though the address on Google Maps was not update, we still enjoyed ourselves. The Blue Cheese Filet was wonderful. I kept asking for the recipe so i can make back home once i get back to Georgia Lol. The outside dinner was great as well. Service was wonderful and not but expected. I do recommend travelers visiting especially the ones staying on the resort to do visit this place. Nothing but Excellence. 10/10. Definitely Recommend.

Great outdoor dining that spills out onto the street, with saxophonist playing creating a beautiful evening.
Mike C.

This was our last night in Mexico and happened upon this restaurant based on a google review. It was great, very nicely prepared filet, very nice server and live music, saxaphonist, set the mood for a beautiful evening. Cute dogs from the neighborhood wouldn't eat the bread, but were really appreciative of my filiet, and well behaved, too! I really recommend this place. Family run.

It's a steakhouse so think of leather, wood, modern, sleek, dimly lit, out door action taking place, and docking available. It's fine dining at the beach and how sexy is Harry's? Very Sexy! Part of the Anderson group we learned that Cancuns best restaurants are part of a chain and glad we were able to try two of them, Harry's being one. Service - Top notch. You know it's fine dining with the service you're getting as soon as you walk in. Let's get into it! Complimentary Bread - Yes please, the best ever! Appetizer - Oyster Rockefeller- These oysters were the biggest I've had seen in life. I did like them but they were lukewarm, they also didn't have bacon which for me, I needed it. They were just too big not to have something extra. Good nonetheless. Burger - Of course I got a burger because I'm a kid at heart. I loved it and that bun omg! Fries were great. Short Rib Sandwich - Delicious he loved the Au jus that went with it. Dessert - Chocolate Cake - It was good but had a bitter chocolate flavor. We always get dessert and this was not our favorite. Complimentary Cotton Candy? And that is exactly why they are 5 stars. It's like a whole love story in here, they aren't perfect but they sure make up for it in ways that count! Yes to Harry's all day, every day!! Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

Harry's has a wonderful setting directly on the water. You can access by car or by boat. They presented menus and all steaks come in 3 versions: Kobe, Waygu or USDA. I have to say crazy prices and I am accustomed to Miami. A waiter brings an actual display of the steaks to the table. The tomahawk has to be 3 feet tall. I cannot imagine anyone eating it! We all ordered USDA filets in the mid $80 range. I ordered mine medium. It was overcooked. No pink/red in the middle and very dry. I was a bit disappointed. We were never rushed. At the end, they brought a piece of cake for the birthday celebrant and a huge cotton candy for the table to enjoy. We each had individual bills. I assume because I was English speaking, they converted mine from pesos to US$'s. I always pay in pesos. The tip has been added and my bill was $139. Not sure how it went from $88 to $139. I did not drink any alcohol - only water. It was fine for a one time visit.

We started with the delicious Parmesan bread.. which was so light and puffy on its own, delicious, but then the sauces it came with really set it off. The green avocado sauce was so good, I could have eaten all of it haha. Rodrigo sold my husband on getting the steak on fire and boy was he happy ! The steak comes somewhat cooked then it is doused in 2 alcohols and butter and set on fire! Check out the pics, it was a really cool experience and it was one of the best steaks we've ever tried. It came with two dipping sauces, a red wine composite and a green chimichurri sauce. The chimichurri sauce was bangin!! We also got a nice red bottle of wine to pair with the meal. My meal consisted of sides-- the lobster/shrimp Mac and cheese and the Caesar salad. Both were really good, the salad was much bigger than I expected and had a runny egg on top... not my thing but I tried to embrace the experience! It was still really good. The Mac and cheese was super cheesy with Gouda and it was delicious! Those two things were so filling I had to take it some home. The manager Manuel also personally came to check on us and our experience during the meal which was nice. He also took photos of us outside which we appreciated. They also brought us an anniversary dessert because we shared that we were celebrating and it was like a deconstructed caramel muffin with ice cream. It was so good when each part came together! We had a great experience at Quinto, make a reservation and ask for Rodrigo!

The hostess insisted that there was no where that we could sit that would put us together. She was very inflexible. Thankfully, the manager came over and did what made the most sense...moved two tables together. Once we were settled, our waiter came over for our drink orders and we decided on our meals as well. I was definitely looking for a great steak so I split the bone-in ribeye, along with sides of broccoli, a loaded baked potato, and brussels sprouts. The steak was presented on a sizzling skillet and it was cooked a little under what we'd ordered. After eating most of it, we realized that they'd mistakenly given our dining companions our correct order and we had theirs. That explained the incorrect cooking temperature on both of the ribeyes. But, the seasoning and flavor of the beef was really good. We all loved the brussels sprouts and the broccoli. The portion sizes for the sides was generous and definitely enough to share between two people. The round dining room at Quinto is beautiful with a large chandelier in the center. Seating is available outside or upstairs or downstairs inside. They finished the meal with tiny sorbet con

We had a truly phenomenal experience at the grill. I am normally rather skeptical of restaurants in…read morehotels because I usually don't have the best experience but the grill exceeded all expectations. The service was incredible and the sunset views from the restaurant are really to die for. To start we were given an incredible amuse bouche, which was a pumpkin soup that was incredibly tasty and left us extremely excited for the meal (which literally means it did its job!). We were also brought a nut bread, which was great, not too heavy but fresh and yummy with just a little butter. For our appetizer we went with the mussels and the coconut sauce that they were cooked in was heavenly and fresh. I had the salmon as my main dish and my friend went with the lobster burger. I also ordered a side of the mashed potatoes and grilled veggies because the salmon does not come with much. Both of these sides were great with my salmon. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the veggies were grilled perfectly. The assortment of veggies was carrots, zucchini, and asparagus. My friend LOVED the burger. In her words it was juicy and you could taste the flavor of every item on the burger. I tried a bite and definitely agree! The fries also come with a sriracha ketchup, which has a nice kick! We were soooooo full after all the food but we had to get dessert because we always do. We went with the chocolate mousse, which was very rich but nice with the vanilla ice cream. Overall we had a fantastic experience and I would for sure recommend the grill if you are staying at the grand Hyatt or just in the area! Also fun fact if you are staying at the hotel in Thursday's is lady night and they give you 50% off the bill! It really doesn't get better than that! (Not sure if this is all year long but it was the case in July during my stay)

The location is fabulous. it is on the main strip on 5th Ave but on the second floor overlooking the hustle and bustle below. You get a great view with a romantic, peaceful atmosphere. The décor has a tropical vibe with lots of plants. The hostess, server and manager were all super nice and helped us choose the best items on the diverse menu. We started with some ceviche and stuffed jalapenos. Both were delicious. I order a glass of Malbec from Argentina- happy they had a decent wine selection as many places in Mexico only have good beer or tequila. For my entrée, I had bacon wrapped tiger shrimp on a bed of mashed potatoes. Yum!! Daniel had a lobster pasta dish and it was quite good too though I think we both preferred mine.

They are big enough for split for 2 and I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options. Personally, the cesar salad is my favorite. What I love about this salad, is they make the dressing right in front of you. Definitely a cool and unique experience. The first time, I ordered the tuna steak. It comes with a soy sauce and a garlic butter. These two sauces on the tuna makes for an incredible meal. I cannot say enough good things about this entree! The second night we went my boyfriend and I split the Cesar salad and the skirt steak. We also added on a side of mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The whole meal was delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite part because everything tasted so good. Splitting this was the perfect meal for two people and we even had a bit left over to snack on the next day. I always have a wonderful experience with even better food when I come here. If you happen to be in the area this is a must stop.
