I came back 2x on my vacation after trying a few other places and Barbanegra was my favorite. First time I had fish tacos. The second time I tried 3 tacos: the chicken, shrimp and another fish.

I wanted to love this place. The decor is amazing and the vibe is awesome as well. The owner was…read morethere and super nice but I have to say I didn't love the food - it was good - but the service was really not good unfortunately. Let me start with the service - I just think some more training would be helpful. Our waiter was a little all over the place. Removed some dishes but not others. We asked for water bunch of time to refill the bottle they leave on the table and didn't happen so asked other staff. And finally the food all came out at different times. I get maybe they bring as ready but there was a big gap between when we got the fish tacos, vs other plates. The food was good but not great. Lacked in flavor. I ordered the Arrachera plate and was a littler smaller than I thought based on pics I saw on TripAdvisor and price. Others ordered fish tacos, cauliflower, ceviche, queso fundido, guacamole. I personally thought the ceviche was the best. Anyway - check em out if ya want - maybe a little off the night I went.

We arrived on a late Saturday morning so I was pleased to see a good selection of breakfast and lunch entrees. I opted for the chilaquiles with rajas, and my wife decided to go for a Huarache (thick tortilla) with mushrooms. Both dishes were decent in size. My chilaquiles were spicy but not to the point where I couldn't finish them. We ordered the Costa juice (pineapple,grapefruit,ginger and orange) The dinner menu looks very inviting too Bathrooms could use a little do over. I would definitely recommend this place.

As we strolled up to the restaurant there was obviously a cook having a beak sitting on a small stool out front. I asked her what we should order. Without hesitation she replied huaraches. Now I believe the name refers to the shape being similar to the soles sandal's but the dish that arrives stacked with fresh crispy lettuce on top of a delicious mix of steak drunks and shrimp sitting on a 2mm thick handmade blue miaz tortilla. Two cream drizzles and the open fire kitchen flavours permeated the entire dish. We also ordered a felafel and a chilli rellano. Both were very good. Excellent authentic flavours packer full of loving care. Bravo and thanks.

It's a basic-looking home in the middle of the oasis of the lagoon. Once you know where it is…read moreyou'll see the colourful blue and white and see the seating area. The exterior is actually very clean with nice art, handcrafted items, and green plants all over. The staff members are welcoming and very nice. They made an effort to install fans for us since I sweat a lot, I'm a nog person, and it's always hot in this part of the region. so I really appreciate that. The menu wasn't too expansive but it does have tasty meals especially for breakfast. I ended up getting a breakfast package. Very basic but plenty and good with flavour. I had two pieces of toast with the side of black beans and savoury ham and eggs. You are given a choice of tea or coffee. Juice comes with it as well. It was very pleasant and quiet.

This place was a gem of a find for us. Late evening walking around trying to find the right place…read more Checked a couple others that were on yelp but they didn't excite us. Saw this sign off the beaten path and decided to check it out. We almost passed on it cuz seemed kind of dark and maybe closed. Very glad we didn't. It looked dark because of the long garden corridor that leads to the main dining area. All open air, thus the name "patio". Stiff drinks . Friendly and attentive staff (noteworthy because most yelp comments for other places in Chetumal say decent food but crappy attitude from servers). I had El Pastor tacos and she went with shrimp Alfredo. Both were great. Sorry, we forgot to take pix before eating. Saw quite a few others eating the pizza.They did look very good but I'm can have pizza anytime at home. Seemed more of place that the locals go to although a table full of X-pats were there ( but they count as locals too) I use yelp to find places a lot. I check in to remember where I ate in case I return. I don't write many reviews unless the place stands out to me. This place clearly did. Highly recommended. Btw, 513 pesos + tip. Well worth it. Lastly, place is rated great on trip advisor.

Whenever in Mexico, I always try to hit up a taco spot, if not several. Since the hubby and I had just finished a boat tour with his parents, we decided to grab our first meal here. (It was on my list of bookmarked places. The in laws didn't join us as they wanted to go back to the Airbnb.) If memory serves, this is on or right off the main square area, so very easy to get to. I don't recall having to wait for a table. From our receipt, we got the items above. (It was hand written, so I'm not sure what everything cost.) I believe most tacos were $22 MX per while some were $25 MX each. And the tostada might have been $99 MX. I believe our whole bill was $295 MX. The shrimp ceviche was my fav. I'm a sucker for any kind of seafood marinated in citrus. This was good, especially with a little hot sauce. The tacos were tasty as well. The prensado / chicharron was deliciously chewy and meaty. I think we also got some fish tacos from my pix, but I didn't see it on my receipt, so I'm not 100% sure. That might have been a mistake now that I'm thinking of our time there. They may have given these to us in accident. If so, I know we told them about it. Service was fine. No fuss, no muss. They took our order and served everything when ready. I'm from the US and don't know any Spanish. Didn't have an issue communicating. Also, there's an English menu on the board as well. A fine place to grab some tacos if in the area. I'm more of an offal taco person, so I was missing those types of meats. But worth a stop by for a quick snack.

You have a beautiful view of the lake and you can also go for a dip off their pier. We had Caesar salads, a smoked salmon salad, poke watermelon bowls and delicious non alcoholic drinks.

Dining outdoors next to the lagoon just adds to the wood house setting. I ordered the infladitas de cochinita pibil as well as a dairy free flatbread (simpatica which was pepperoni, onions and sauce). The cochinita pibil was so good! The crunch from the deep fried infladita (tortilla) added a nice touch. The flatbed was really good considering there was no cheese. The server was very attentive and helpful with all my questions.
