    Beef fajitas
    Amy M.

    We took a taxi to Colonia for lunch which is not far from Puerto Morelos - maybe 5 mins. Great food, great service. Come hungry - the portions are very large!

    Filet stuffed with shrimp, octopus, and squid.

    La Pepita is one of the many seafood restaurants in Puerto Morelos which was highly suggested by…read moreour boat operator on our snorkeling trip. Great service and cool al fresco vibe, you start of with a big basket of tortilla chips and a variety of salsas. I started off with a Ahi Tostada and Wifey started with a seafood soup which were both tasty. We shared a fresh Catch local Hogfish and Grilled Octopus which were absolutely delicious! Four items, and two drinks with tip came out to a little over $50 usd. Definitely worth the visit!

    After doing the snorkeling tour at the pier in Puerto Moreles, we asked our guide for a…read morerecommendation and he recommended this locals joint. It did not disappoint! The vibe is super relaxed, with all seats in the sand. My kids enjoyed chasing the iguanas and sitting on the palm tree (which strangely grows parallel with the ground) while we waited for our food. We didn't see the option on the menu but our guide told us there is a big cooler and you can just pick out your fish to get it fried up fresh for you. Sure enough, there was a huge white cooler where we could sort through the fish options and pick one the right size for our family. It came with sides like beans, guac and tortillas, and all meals come with chips plus tomato and jalapeno salsas. We also ordered ceviche and the total price was less than $40 for a family of 4. More importantly, everything was super fresh and delicious! I wish I lived nearby so I could come back again - I would be a regular if I could!

The restaurant ambiance is amazing as you're right on the beach with a great view of the ocean. They also had great music to provide fun energy to the place. The meal generally starts with items from their raw bar. This time we had a mixture of Hamachi, Blue-Fin Tuna, and Octopus. All of which were served together in an amazing sauce/dressing. They give you loads of chips and salsa's to pick at as well. For the main, they have a variety of daily catches that are (and sometimes aren't) available. We went with the Snook, which they let us hand pick. We also ordered it with Lobster tail and crab legs. Both were amazing and came with Garlic Butter sauce for dipping. The Lobster was my favorite. Additionally they gave us squid ink rice and creamy pasta to accompany the fish. Service was pretty solid as well and the team there is fun and wants you to have a great time. We had a group of 19 and they gave us an awesome experience.
