Wow! The biggest ripoff in the island. Overpriced and undervalued. The service started great but…read morethey were not busy, as soon as more guest came, the service became slow and forgetful. Missing items we requested and having to ask a few times. The place looks nice and open with two levels. They are supposedly a "market" but it's a restaurant and a pier stop. People with their boast can come in. They have showers as well. We order the grouper (fish) and 1 dozen of oysters on the half shell. The fish came with the choice of rice, pasta or steamed vegetables. We decided to do the whole fish and get one filet out. I'm originally from an island so eating a whole fish is normal so I wanted to experience it again because back home where we live we don't have it. The fish was ok. It needed more flavor. Rice was hard and cold and not really tasty. The oysters were harder than usual. We ordered two of their Marbella sunrise (drinks) and they were good. Overall the food was NOT good or fresh. It made me sick! I got food poisoning. At the end of our trip in the island I got so sick I was puking on the beach and then walking the streets like a drunk person puking my guts out and not even with a buzz?! No thanks! My final advice? AVOID at all cost because what you will be missing here is your money from your wallet. Nothing special. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Awful. Definitely not worth $221.00. The stone crab was so tuff you couldn't eat it. My husband…read moresent it back and they still charged him $21 for the 1 piece he tried to eat.

Fuego was indeed fuego (sorry). I was craving a roasted whole fish and the version that they do…read morehere was flavorful and a substantial portion, stuffed with spinach and some sort of foam drizzled over veggies, with perfect crispy skin. I would've liked the actual meat of the fish to be more tender (it bordered on overcooked) but still I walked away plenty satisfied. It does have lots of tiny bones. Bread basket came with the most delicious roasted eggplant in oil, I could've eaten just that with the bread and been a happy camper. The roasted octopus was not bad but a touch too heavy on the sauces for me, I would've wanted more of the flavor of the octopus on its own. The potatoes under the octopus, however, were perhaps my favorite part of the whole meal. Everyone else seemed happy with their food - the catch of the day (with the fluffiest mashed potatoes) was a very popular choice. If you're sick of seafood, they have steak and braised brisket on their menu. Really cozy and romantic ambiance as well for if you want to dress up slightly. This place gets very popular for good reason; I liked the little bar counter they set up out front so you can watch the grilling in action.

One of the better restaurants on Isla Mujeres. They are cash only (MXN or USD accepted)…read more Reservations recommended in peak seasons. They have both indoor/outdoor seating. They do have a 2nd level outdoor seating area. However, the stairs are steep so if you need easier access, I would definitely recommend reservations. The food is good. Meat is cooked on a grill and the smell permeates the air. Good flavor. I requested medium rare on mine and it was slightly cooked closer to medium+. Although it was overdone for my preference, the flavor was still good so I didn't send it back. My wife ordered Coconut Shrimp. They are cooked & served head attached. She really liked the flavor. I'm not a fan of coconut anything but thought they were decent. We started with a Caprese salad, which was definitely big enough to share. We left very full so be careful not to over order. Bottom line - Really good food. Reservations recommended. Bon appétit, y'all.

Awesome lunch at amazing…read morelocation... we have read reviews about tikinxic fish and how great it was in taste and not to add an awesome view of the beach with pier. I guess Playa Lancheros is the place name as we had lunch in La Casa del TikinXik restaurant. but every review goes by Playa Lancheros so doing the same :P we got the beachside table, it was bit empty, I guess every restaurant along the shore, offers the same view and same tikin xic fish. let me tell you before if you want to order which you should, order ll take 1 hr at least as they ll start cooking after the order. in this restaurant, you can see kitchen (especially for tikin xic fish) nearby parking area. also, they don't serve you nachos free like other Mexican restaurant. they charged us 80 pesos for this when we asked why did not we get nachos. our fish came, it was really good, but it was more than enough for 2 people. 3-4 folks can have whole fish. The fish order goes by per KG. and guesses what it was not expensive. 300 pesos for 1 kg Tikinxic Trad coro, and some other fish 300+ pesos. tikin xic is the preparation, not fish name. Tikin Xic, pronounced "teekeen sheek" in Yucatec Mayan and meaning "dry fish", is a fish dish prepared in the Meso-American style. The fish is prepared whole then marinated with adobo de Achiote and sour oranges then wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked in an earth oven beneath a wood fire in the side dish, rice-lettuce was there with beans and tortillas. the green sauce which was nothing but green chili sauce. mind it, it's very hot but good in taste ;) Waiter seems to very busy. Apart from fish, we ordered Mango Margarita, SOL beer, salsa Mexican. all Mexican restaurant serves their main items with tortillas (bucket of small tortillas) and sauce (green-salsa). you make taco and eat. it's the Mexican thing. Also, they don't serve water in the restaurant. I have read in blogs that one should be very careful with drinking water, but why restaurants don't serve drinking water, not sure. They had added gratuity in the bill. upon asking, you can change the % of tip. 20% is by default added. I have asked for the fresh bill and added 10% to it. one yacht came and all people got off and headed to another restaurant, seems they were under a part of some tour package. This Restaurant had swings and I enjoyed it while waiting for fish, you can also have some fun in the water. water was clear and the reef was not there. we walked on the beach with the drink, took photos, enjoyed swings. What an unforgettable experience with the awesome amazing view. ( See my pictures). Definitely recommended :)
