Phenomenal!! Ate here on our recent trip to Cancun.. service was spot on.. we both had Lobster and it was plentiful and delicious. Table was near the window looking out over the water.. beautiful spot read more

I saw this place on yep and just HAD to come. There's never a bad time to grab some delicious fresh lobster on the Atlantic coast. Our first night in cancun was blessed with this great place. We were able to pick out our own lobster and it wasn't super pricey like the states. The lobster was well seasoned and very juicy. Not dry at all. It came with some pasta and vegetables which I wasn't a huge fan of. I wish they would give options or put in a bit more effort in giving the sides some flair. Romantic dinner that's not super expensive. Really cool and an interesting back story! read more

Truly one of the best restaurant experiences in Cancun - the long-running king of lobster fine dining. Jorge and Carlos treated our large family like kings and queens, and our meals were, as always, tremendous. Lorenzillo's is not cheap - so beware of the reviews complaining about price - but if you know fine dining and appreciate great service and the freshest seafood possible, Lorenzillo's is the place for you. read more

Traveling with a group of girlfriends and one member has visited Lorenzillo's many times on previous trips. She talked it up leading up to and during our stay. Let me say, it was all she promised and more! We sat outside with an amazing view of the lagoon at sunset. Our servers, Alfredo & Chris, were helpful with menu questions and recommendations. Food was flawless. Appetizer, main dishes and dessert. The sangrias were not only great to look at, they were refreshing and delicious! If I ever find myself back in Cancun, Lorenzillo's will be a must visit! read more

Lorenzillo's was one of the best sea food restaurants I have been to in a very long time. The food was great from the appetizers to the desert. The service was spectacular waiter's made sure you had everything you wanted. The chefs sent our table some complimentary empanadas de pescado.. was very yummy! We would definitely be back when we visit Cancun. It was so great it was our first time seeing a real crocodile it was such an amazing experience with great food. Definitely would recommend the Pirates special it was the pardilla de Mariscos super yummy the shell crab was to die for! 5 starts!! read more

Great service. Great food. Great view!! Everyone here was so welcoming and so kind. The staff was very efficient and went above and beyond in every way possible. We went in the evening and as it's on the lagoon, mosquitos are inevitable. They noticed that I was being bothered and promptly offered me some mosquito spray. I greatly appreciated that gesture as I get eaten alive! Haha The appetizers were delicious, we ordered calamari and a shrimp cocktail, but the lobster here is a must try!! They give you a big enough portion and wayyy cheaper than in the US. It was so delicious and the sides were just as great! The lobster comes with some pasta and spinach cream that paired so nicely. The whole restaurant is beautiful and the staff even pointed out to us two crocodiles that come by often. I thought that was so neat! Definitely visit this restaurant for quality service and excellent food! read more

We walked in to Lorenzillo's last night for dinner- random restaurant selection on a whim. It looked like your typical waterfront seafood restaurant. We had no expectations, just thought we would wing it for once. This place is a gem. Our biggest mistake was sitting inside. We were afraid it would be too windy outside, but inside I got too hot about mid meal. We ordered too much food because we couldn't decide . The menu is a little overwhelming. Our mojito mocktails were ice cold and yummy! Loved them. The oyster chowder was amazing! My favorite part of the meal. I could eat it everyday! My husband love the clam chowder. The calamari was great, only slightly chewy but not too much. I was a little disappointed in the Caesar salad, Carlos did a fantastic job mixing at the table but it lacked that punch, just a little flat for me. My husbands Mayan lobster was delicious. I ordered the scallop and tortilla appetizer as an entree and it was good, not great but by that point I was overwhelmingly hot and so I had a little trouble enjoying anything at that point. I could've jumped in the lagoon to cool off if it weren't for that alligator! Awesome job, Carlos, thanks for the great food and great service! We wish we had room for the key lime pie!! read more

If you eat at only one place in Cancun, do it here. We've been all ver the world and had some memorable meals, and this is at the very top of the list. The service is top notch, with every need being anticipated. The manager was engaging prior to our seating and showed me the lobsters. We dined on fried soft shell crabs, Cesar salad, fillet, shrimp, and lobster. I likened the food to a better version of Ruth's Cris or Any James Beard chef's restaurant we have been lucky enough to sample. It was a birthday dinner for our last night in Cancún. They gifted me an exquisite dessert of some cream cake, that I cannot describe, but as a baker myself, it was amazing, and I've never had anything like it. The atmospheric was serene, with having a waterfront table to watch the fish and alligators swim by. Again, if you want a great memorable meal, try this place. You won't be disappointed. Forgot to take photos before we started devouring everything, but remembered after only a few bites of dessert. read more

This place will definitely dog you down if they see that you are a tourist. I couldn't help but be nice when the server forced his way into getting me to order the lobster. He said I should pick out the lobster myself. I said I didn't want one that was too big, just an average sized and he said no you need to get the biggest one and took a big one anyways. I didn't think it would be so bad until the lobster came and was just incredibly overcooked and tasted awful. Not only that, the bill ended up being $300 USD. I just felt like I was done dirty because the server did against my request, and was not upfront that it would cost this much. The service was good, but it makes for an incredibly awkward situation when they tell me how much I should tip and watch over my shoulder and get in my face while I'm writing down the amount. They're forcing my hand to give them a generous tip. Overall, the food was pretty awful for as fresh as everything should have been. We got the fried calamari, the seafood platter (shrimp, clam, oyster, crab), and the lobster. Nothing stood out, and the lobster was just overcooked, dry, too salty, and straight up disappointing for such an expensive meal, especially when the waiter suggested to get the broiled lobster as it was their most popular lobster dish. Would not come again. read more

This place was super over priced for what you get. Can't believe I dropped over $200 bucks on food that was just so so. I asked if their Caribbean lobster was as good as Maine and they said it is a lot better and their customers always brag about how great Caribbean lobster's taste. So I went for it and was disappointed by the lack of flavor it had. We went with the pirate's special and the raw oysters. For the high price I was expecting excellent tasting food but didn't get that. The service was great and attentive but thumbs down the expensive food that wasn't that great. Will not go back. read more

I would give this place five stars but there are two reasons why I'm not and then I'll get to the good stuff. The cocktail sauce is on the sweet side and my personal preference is to eat a spicy horseradish cocktail sauce. Also, the jumbo shrimp looked great but tasted like they had just been thawed which was disappointing because we paid a lot for them. The restaurant itself is very nice. It has great ambience and I love the service. If you go here, get the crab legs. They are the best around. We were all dying to eat here because of them and it's literally our favorite place in the world for crab legs. We had a wonderful time eating here and by the time we left, we were stuffed and happy. Make sure to get a nice picture outside! It's pretty at sunset! read more

Well-known for its lobster, which they do in more ways than any place I've ever been, Lorenzillo's is both hit and miss in that regard. However, the service, decor, and environment bring this up to a solid 4-star. They have a great wine selection, as well as an excellent Lobster Bisque for a starter. For entrees, it can be quite intimidating as there are something like 32 variations of lobster. Usually you're lucky to have 2. We selected both the Lobster with Garlic Butter and Lobster Thermidor. The garlic version was a major disappointment as it was dry and barely tasted like lobster with the overwhelming flavors/seasonings. The Thermidor, on the other hand, was very rich and nicely done. We sat outside which was a lovely view. Sadly, we didn't see the local alligator. This is a great place to visit, especially if you can sit on the outside p read more

This review is so easy to do. I apologize I do not remember our waiter's name but he was the older gentleman heavyset with Glasses. Absolutely wonderful. Paid extra attention to the details. He made us feel so welcomed. Explain the menu the food came within a very reasonable amount of time. We ordered the 10 ounce lobster tail that came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Cost about 60 bucks US but really worth it. The Decour everything was really good in this restaurant. Cannot think of one negative not one. Thank you so much for taking good care of us while we were in Cancun read more

Lorenzillo's provided terrible service with poor quality food in a tacky ambience. Everything was old and outdated. The food was similar to an overpriced Long John's Silver. There are significantly better restaurant options further into the hotel zone with better food and service for the same price. The waiter questioned our order preference stating that if the food did not come out to our liking, we would not pay. Therefore, they did not want to prepare it this way. Their assumption and manner in stating that they knew what we would like was completely inappropriate. We did not accept this insulting accusation and prejudice remark as we have no issues with paying for anything. We paid the bill and left after two managers attempted to address the matter. They too, handled the situation poorly. I do not recommend Lorenzillo's as it is a waste of time and money. read more

Overpriced and overcooked! I get it this spot is for Tourists and the view is amazing but the price for the seafood is outrageous and it was overcooked. You get charged for regular water so don't go thirsty. The waiter also came outside and held out the bill and was asking if this is it, insisting on more of a tip when a $10 bill was missing from what we left. Half our bill was drinks first of all so I am not sure what he was expecting after we literally got robbed for dinner. Not sure where all the good reviews came from. The whole lobster was so rubbery, lobster stuffed fish was mediocre and all the seafood inside was to chewy to eat for my taste, salmon was also over cooked. Shrimp dinner plate was the only thing not overcooked. read more

I came here with a group of 11 adults, 1 child and 2 toddlers. The staff was super great and very accommodating! This place is known for their lobsters and that is absolutely what you should order! For appetizers, we ordered the giant seafood platter that has a little bit of everything, oysters, giant crab legs, snow crab, and shrimp! We also ordered fish empanadas. I'm allergic, but I cut off a piece of the breading and it was very flavorful and flaky! I had the lobster bisque. Others had the corn and clam chowder, the clam chowder, French onion and potato soup. Everyone loved their soup! For my entree I had the lobster tail. You are able to pick off of all the flavors and pick whole lobster or lobster tail. They'll crack the sucker open and butterfly whole or just tail for you. Cool thing if you pick whole is that you get to go to the lobster tank and select your lobster. I chose the tail and garlic butter. It came with spinach purée and a pasta. If you get a whole lobster, you won't have room for soup before hand. Dinner is big! There is also a crocodile in the lagoon, who's name is Lorenzo! Super cool and the waiter will call for him to come. He is GIANT. Enjoy the lobster! Don't become crocodile food! read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. They have a huge dining area both inside and out. We made reservations for 8:30pm but we arrived early at 8:00pm and there was plenty of seating available. Got a seat next to a window overlooking their giant, floating lobster sculpture. The restaurant interior is nicely decorated with a pirate ship theme. Good for groups or special occasions. Although when we called to make the reservation they asked what occasion we were celebrating. It was a birthday but no acknowledgment were made when we dined. They do have a small parking lot so you can drive here. Their drinks are good. We tried their Mezcal with mango margarita and a Mezcal with tamarind. They are not weak but they are also not very strong. They provide a complimentary bread basket with an assortment of breads and puff pastry sticks. They also gave us 2 puff pastries with a seafood filling complimentary. We were almost full from just eating the breads. If you order the seafood soup like we did, the bread dipped into the broth is so, so good. The soup had a good amount of various seafood. We also ordered the grilled octopus. It was a tad too tender for us and we would have preferred a slight more bite and chew to it. For entree we shared a lobster tail which came with a side of spinach and linguine. The spinach was like a mashed potato consistency, I liked it. You can have your lobster tail cooked anyway you like it. We chose it with coconut milk. The lobster unfortunately had no taste to it. The sauce was also not a good choice. I don't recommend it. Unfortunately we were too full to try any desserts. The total for dinner with 2 alcoholic drinks, a soup, an appetizer and an entree with tips came out to $127 for 2. read more

Lorenzillos is a good seafood restaurant that also offers a nice selection of steak and other land animals. Drinks were good and my dinner and drinks were both delicious. One in our party got the tomahawk rib eye and not only was it massive but the steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also enjoyed watching the staff take the shells off of the lobsters and feeding the resident crocodiles who live under the restaurants deck over the lagoon. Recommend and will be back on our next trip to Cancun. read more

I have eaten in thousands of restaurants in my lifetime all from street food to five star restaurants all over the world and by far this was one of the worst food experience ever, service was actually good but I'll tell you for the food it kept getting worse and worse and worse every time we ordered the only thing that was left good in a menu that we ordered was the Caesar salad the challenge was it came with hair , we returned it back they didn't offer to give another Caesar salad we had to ask the manager to get us another Cesar salad along with they offered grilled fish for my daughter and she loved it .... - claim chowder filled with carrots and Celery , they have 20 different sauces for lobster they all suck outside of the regular butter and garlic butter that was good ..we tried all there sauce FYI , pacific oysters was ok I would order either zzz ... after we left I did some research on the restaurant and all the lobster are Farm raise ... I was shocked only was it a $400 dollar night but we were just fed some farm raise lobster ... this bad experience just doesn't end .. lol ,,,, PS please dress up for this Restaurnt along with no Hats or tank tops .... while your in cancun ---- if you don't , don't worry you can buy a $25 dollar t shirt and add that to my bill $365 for the night .... hahah ...

Excellent dining experience in Cancún!! This is a restaurant if you can only afford one special meal out while on vacation, make sure to include this in your plans. The ambience of the restaurant was very romantic and energizing. It is well-kept, clean, and obviously cared for a great deal by the owners and staff. All of our request were attended to prior to arriving such as our seating location and our special occasion that we were celebrating. It is these fine details that make an experience all the better. The wait staff was very sweet and kind and helpful in the recommendations. They waited on us as if we were in their own homes. For starters we had the house breads and delicious empanadas that the chef prepared. We then progressed our meal with calamari and lobster croquettes. Two of us had the El commidoro (steak and lobster)White tuna and grouper. All prepared to perfection with excellent presentation. We did not leave feeling hungry at all. Since we are seated by the lagoon, we had a special guest appearance from one of their local crocodiles which floated around giving us the dinner show. The sunset was absolutely stunning and had great picturesque views. We would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a little upscale dining while staying in Cancun. read more

We visited this location last week during our first trip to Cancun . It was an amazing experience from the time we entered the door to the time we left . The servers and everyone we came in to contact with was AMAZING . This is easily a 4 star restaurant . We sat outside near the lagoon in hopes of seeing the crocodiles but they weren't around. I ordered the lobster with coconut milk sauce . It came with a pasta and puréed spinach . It exceeded my expectations ! The pina coladas are really good too .

I wanted to leave the resort we were staying at and find a place with seafood. After doing some searching on Yelp, I found this place and decided to give it a try. I'm happy we did.. The service and food were excellent! Having just finished raining, our outside seating was covered, but we were right next to the window and had a nice view of the lagoon. We missed sunset, but I agree with the other reviews that this would be a very nice place to watch it from. We had two waiters with us for our entire meal, and were very much attended to. After we ordered a bottle of wine and water to drink, fish empanadas came out with two different sauces. We ordered an appetite that included peel and eat shrimp, live and raw oysters on the half shell and stone crab. Again, a new tray of sauces with this part of our meal came out along with an assortment of freshly baked bread. For my main course, I went with the surf and turf; lobster tail with a fillet. It also came with a spinach purée and baked potato. The steak was cooked to a nice medium temperature, and I felt the lobster was a tad chewy and perhaps a bit overdone. It certainly didn't stop me from eating it! This was a great little spot and I'm happy we have it a try. The valet saw that we arrived by taxi and immediately called one for us as we left. 5 star service and probably a 4.5 star for food. If you're in town and want to try something with a lot of seafood options, this is your place!! read more

We learned about this restaurant last year. It was the best place we ate in Cancun. It still is! The service is excellent. The atmosphere is great. The building, floors, walls all are beautiful old wood. The Lobster is the best you can find. It is out of the shell. Take their recommendation and get it broiled for the most tender. The ceviche was very good. The avacado with shrimp was a good starter. A friend had the crab cake appetizer and it was too much to eat! The lobster was the star!

Excellent restaurant. We sat outside at night and it was gorgeous. There were huge fish swimming in the water and some times you can even see an alligator! The service was incredible. Everyone was so attentive and nice. We started with the scallop appetizer, good flavor could have been seated harder for my taste. I got the table side ceaser salad. It was one of the best I've had! They made the dressing right in front of you. We both got surf and turf , steak was perfect and the shrimp had tons of flavor. My other friend got pasta and loved it. We got a brownie with ice cream for dessert, and it did not disappoint. Def a little pricey but worth it. read more
