    I really wanted to like this place. The prices are pretty steep for mediocre food. Got the filet stuffed w/ lobster and shrimp. The sides were quite interesting and a pretty simple potato. I had high hopes for this dish. The ambiance is great though. Maybe a great place for drinks and views, as you do have crocodiles stop by to visit. They also have live music, not sure if it's every night but for sure on a Friday. The service was great, but there was an incident that happened that totally has left a bad taste in my mouth. Upon paying the waiter Angel came back and asked if I wanted to leave a tip. I had informed him that I would leave the tip in cash. He acknowledged that and when I received my receipt back I saw that there was tip added. I double checked with him to make sure that what I was reading was correct. He had assured me that he understood, and (I know he did because I said all of this in Spanish) he mentioned that his coworker just added the 20% himself. I was left flabbergasted, since I've never experienced this before. At the end of it, the waiters just really ended up blaming one another when I asked for a small explanation.

    Food was amazing!! Service was top notch! Very attentive and always right there if we needed anything! Ambiance was perfection! Gorgeous inside and out! The kids loved the fish tanks and live lobsters! Was expensive but it's to be expected and we were in vacay mode! 10/10 would recommend!

    Easily a 5 star experience. The wait staff are always there for you and attentive down to changing your plates out multiple times. Sit outside on the deck, its intimate, romantic and don't get me started on the beautiful sunset overlooking a small island in the Lagoon. You can see the highrise hotels and the loop ferris wheel of sorts on the hotel row portion of Cancun. The restaurant is very charming and the interior is decorated in a nautical antique decor, lots of beautiful wood everywhere. The food on the menu is very old school fashioned. You will see Lobster, stone crabs and lots of fresh seafood choices, Caesar salad mixed at your table w the sauce whipped up on the spot as well, not your usual fare as well as steaks and desserts from chocolate lava cake to Crepe Suzette. Worth stopping in if you are in the Cancun area. Buen Provecho!

    Croc Sneak!

    Nice location and ambiance with good food. The croc on the water was a special. Highly recommended!!

    He was just hanging out . At first, it didn't think he was real .

    Great atmosphere right on the water. The service was excellent and the food very good. The portions are large, and can be split . We made the mistake of ordering too much food. There was a crocodile hanging out in the water. Pretty funny.

    Very nice presentation.

    Food and service was great. Had the pacific oysters and the catch of the day. My wife had the coconut shrimp and clam chowder and shared the soft shell crab. Presentation 10/10. Ambiance was great. Went during lunch time, got seated and served right away. Giving 3 stars because I was told to remove my hat. I did not have my hat the whole time, only while taking pictures. In the 3rd picture I forgot to remove my hat, thats when one of the managers in light blue approached me about their "strict" dress code. I happily took my hat off. Then I was annoyed when he escorted another party to their table. One of the guys were also wearing a hat and he didn't tell him anything. Also I looked around, another lady was wearing a visor. Visor/hat, it is the same thing Mr. Manager or whoever you are. If your gonna tell one person to follow your dress code, I expect you to tell everyone one else! Just because we're young and maybe didn't look fancy enough for lunch time, you think you can impose your dress code unfairly. He was nice about telling me that there was a dress code he even opened the door for me as I was leaving. Probably a nice guy but I just a bit annoyed he did not tell the other 2 patrons wearing a hat ans visor.

    We went to Lorenzillo's the first time in April because it was across from our Hotel and really enjoyed. Service was good and the food was delicious. So when we went back in June, we were there again. And everything was great as well and we had a chance to see a crocodile. Kids were happy with that.

    Fettuccine, may look good but had no flavor whatsoever.

    Food was honestly not worth the price, no flavor in anything. Way to expensive for it to taste like this, Olive Garden is better. Although the staff was incredibly kind and respectful . Place is beautiful and spacious. Leaving to go to dominos right now.

    Surf & Turf - Tenderloin steak, creamy baked potato, lobster tail, asparagus.

    We go to Lorenzillo's to get seafood every time that we go to Cancun. Great food, awesome service, wonderful atmosphere. I am not sure what else I could ask for.

    My husband and I decided to head here for dinner one night of our honeymoon and were definitely not disappointed. The ambiance was amazing and we were seated right on the water where a friendly crocodile provided excellent company. The bread they brought out was plentiful, fresh, and had so many options, and the garlic butter that accompanied it was spot on. We both ordered the lobster, my husband selected the garlic butter option while I opted for the broiled lobster (as recommended). We also started out with seafood soup, which was flavorful and full of different types of seafood. To cap off the meal, they gave us a complimentary dessert that was absolutely delicious. My husband left saying it was by far the best lobster he has ever eaten, and the portions were so large we had leftovers to bring back to our resort. Needless to say, when we are back in Cancun we will be dining here again.

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.

We had been walking in the area earlier that day and made a plan to come back for dinner. When we arrived there were a lot of people but we were seated immediately. Martin was our waiter and he was great. There were a few large screen TVs playing sports. There was live music. A lot was going on but it really worked. People were enjoying themselves and the wait staff was friendly and talkative. I ordered shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the mole. He always orders mole. The meals were very good. We ordered a mango margarita and Tecate. The margarita came with a tehine rim. I just wiped it off. That is becoming so popular. I decided to indulge in the banana dessert and I am glad I did. It came with a show. That was fun and the dessert was delicious. We were there earlier in the evening and we saw many couples and families. I'm sure the place gets a little more livelier as the night goes on. If you are in the area, this is a good place to eat and enjoy your time in Cancun.

The wait staff forms a conga line to deliver a margarita, carried atop a sombrero! The play tunes and dance around inviting diners to join them. Service is attentive & excellent!

I just drank water, so cannot comment on the drinks. I had the flan for dessert, which was generous in size & ok. One of my friends had the flaming bananas & said it was so yummy! Everything is surprisingly (for Cancun) priced affordable. My enchiladas were about $12. I would happily return here! So much fun!
