Came here with a friend on a visit to Mexico based on recommendations about the food and the view. When we pulled up, we were told that we needed to park at the far end of the road and that the place wasn't open yet so we waited in the car however we started noticing other cars pulling up and no one being told to move their car or wait so we finally made our way in. We got seated and there was a slight language barrier. They brought chips and salsa to the table as well as a seafood soup. I ordered the coconut shrimp. The size was nice but it was over cooked and needed the sauce. The food was okay but for the price I expected more. The view was nice but not spectacular. At the end of the meal we had to call the waiter to bring us a check to which the manager came over to check us out and informed us the standard tip amount. Can check this off my been there done that list. read more

Had lunch here on Mother's Day based on recommendations from Yelp! I ordered coconut shrimp and a passion fruit margarita. The meal came with rice and fried plantains. The shrimp were huge but lacked much flavor so I was thankful for the pineapple relish. The servers were very friendly and the bartender was super friendly. One star removed because my friend and I arrived early and was asked to move our car from the parking lot but shortly after we saw a car park with no issue. When we walked in at 12:30( opening time), the couple was seated. read more

This beach/oceanfront restaurant is a whole vibe!!! There's a DJ playing dance music, the outdoor lighting adds a lot to the ambiance, the lively waitstaff are more than accommodating and helpful. The food portions are tasty and very good! The drinks could use a little work - I had a St. Germaine Spritz that was light on the tequila and HEAVY on the ice on Fresca. All and all, I would recommend this place for the food, ambiance, and service. I've had better drinks at other restauarnts. read more

The hostess is rude. But the rest of the place is a cute beachside local favorite. We waited for 40 minutes for a table so call ahead and make reservations. The bar upfront seats about 5 people so there isn't a lot of waiting space. There are a couple of sofa and benches. The place easily became bushy in that hour from 2:30-3:30pm. The parking lot was packed when we left. The heiress stand can call a taxi for you. They don't speak English well at all. So be prepared. The food was decent with some dishes being better than others. The shrimp ceviche wasn't fresh and the octopus also seemed a bit too firm to be fresh. My father enjoyed his sea bass fillet. We ordered quesadillas for the kiddo. He liked it. The wait staff was great. Very friendly and accommodating. Very clean establishment as well. They have staff for drinks, busing the pates vs drinks and then the main wait staff. So they definitely have their operation down. It's a nice walk on the pier after your meal. It has such a pretty view. Food 3.5/5 Service 5 Ambiance 5 It's a laid back little lace to go for lunch or dinner. read more

Pretty much as good as it gets. Ambience is incredible - nice but not stuffy with a beautiful beach view. Service was perfect: attentive without being overbearing and my server went above and beyond with giving some recommendations of things to do in the area. I ordered a Michelada which was fab, super flavorful and just the perfect level of spicy. They brought out chips and salsa. Salsa was HOT, not going to lie, even the mildest one. But they were good. Chips were nice too. I ordered the roast veggies for one and the octopus/steak dish, which wasn't what I was expecting at all tbh but I loved it. I thought it was going to be like a cut of steak with a cut of octopus on top like a surf and turf and instead it was like all chopped up together and served with tortillas and garlic salsa as almost a byo taco type thing. Nonetheless it was soooo good. A few very minor complaints: 1. They def were a little "up-selly" 2. I wish they had cocktail prices on the menu 3. Imo the menu could be explained more clearly bc it's not super clear how big the portions of everything are and so it's easy to end up with either too much or not enough food (the former in my case) It's def a little pricy too but wow it was really good. Would absolutely go back. read more

My friend and I liked this place so much during our 4 night stay in Cancun, we went 3 times. Hands down the best coconut shrimp I've ever had, and very reasonably priced. Located on the beach, the views are beautiful and the vibes are chill. They have an indoor seating area as well and all of the food we had, including a whole fish zarandeado, was absolutely delicious. The service is on point and the cocktails are great too. Given the rainy weather during our stay, this restaurant was overall the best part of our entire experience. And perhaps the best part of this restaurant was we were the only gringos there, and thus, did not pay gringo prices. Clearly a local hangout spot. read more

What and amazing place. Beachfront is an understatement. The food is some of the best I had in Mexico. Service was on point and the margaritas where fantastic. I have eaten there 3 time on this trip. We where so spoiled as it was a 2 minutes walk from where we staying. read more

It's beachside. It's hard to find and has good live music(a little loud though). But it's right on the sand. Has fishing boats parked up on the shore and overlooks a lighthouse on the bay. Don't mind the treacherous dirt road with huge pot holes to get to the restaurant. It's a beautiful restaurant with great food (slow service) but super authentic and very fresh seafood. Curry Caribbean ceviche is amazing. With mango and pineapple. The grouper was grilled and it tasted as if the t was right out of the water. read more

Atmosphere, food, sometimes live entertainment and meal experience. Sometimes they have live entertainment.

Omg this place was fantastic. We wanted to get away from the resort food and found that this place was right next door the whole time. We walked down the beach and right up to the restaurant. It's right on the beach so we were able to sit with our toes in the sand. The service was amazing, they really appreciated the business and it showed. Pretty neat that they catch the seafood they serve. Everything was fresh and delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Absolutely delicious fresh food, friendly service! It was super packed but worth the wait. Catch of the day and fish tacos. Fantastic!!!

I love Puerto Santo! First off - it's on the beach but not obviously sandy and windy, it's got shades so that if it's too windy or it rains, they can put it down and you've still got a really nice view of the beach and they also have beach beds so if you wanted something that felt more like a beach club, there it is. Second - their food gets better and better every time we go there! It's so good and tasty and the portions are just right for each dish. My husband and I got the shrimp fettuccine and chicken fettuccine and it was amazing! The service was quick but not so quick that you feel rushed. And they're all so friendly. It's also super accessible to non English speakers - I speak pretty decent Spanish and was offered a menu in English so they do have options for non Native Spanish speakers. Will always be in my top three read more

So much of my impressions are related to the whole scene...dining right on the beach, with a beautiful water view and breeze flowing through our hair...wow, so peaceful and enjoyable. Anyway, the food was good. We had grilled fish with delicious plaintains and appetizers....delicious cocktails. Our waiters could not have been nicer. They were also attentive but not pushy... sweet music in the background. Having lunch here was blissful. Really. read more

We've been coming here since 2019 and it's by far the best place around. The food, service and location are above and beyond all else available here at Puerto Juárez and let's not forget their margaritas, heavenly!!! See you again real soon! read more

Amazing place right on the beach. Some of the best seafood in Cancun perfect for a romantic dinner.

Soooo... this is a must visit place in Cancun. The manager Alex is the best and made our experience amazing. I'll let the photos speak for themselves because I couldn't do the justice. We had about three rounds of their house salsas. Be prepared because their spicy. If aesthetics is what you desire, order their whole fish. It's unreal! Just thinking about this meal is making my stomach grumble The drinks were great. They made custom drinks for us based on our likes. We had a watermelon drink and a Rosemary drink that were amazing. We had sides of mushroom and coconut shrimp that I would highly recommend. Even the sides of rice were very well flavored and delicious. Any trip back in the area and I will definitely return! read more

All of the food was delicious, from the kids chicken fingers with fries for kids to the fried whole fresh fish. The prices are very reasonable. Getting to the restaurant was kind of difficult because it's in a resort, and we took a dirt road to get to the parking lot, but the ambiance was cool, right by the water. It was covered outdoors with the sand at our feet. The service was great as well, considering there was a large wedding rehearsal dinner that the servers were catering to. A couple got engaged as well while we were having dinner. There are both Spanish and English menus. read more

This place had delicous food and the outdoor seating overlooking the port was gorgeous at night. The light sea breeze made it a bit chilly at this time of year (winter), but it was still lovely! We ordered a tuna tartar, a salmon tartar, and a mixed ceviche (with fish, shrimp, and octopus) and it was delicious. The server also brought us a soup shot and some dips with blue corn chips. They were alright but it was nice they brought those over. Good experience, beautiful setting, and great last meal to end our trip on! read more

Amazing food, service and upbeat ambience. Our favorite restaurant of the trip. Recommend it unequivocally.

We came here as our last dinner on our trip, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is located in the Puerta Del Mar resort property but still open to the public to enjoy. It's about 20 minutes driving from the Zona Hotelera and worth it! We were seated on the beach with perfect lighting to enjoy the water, the music is at the perfect level so that you can enjoy it without feeling like you have to yell at dining party. The servers and service is very attentive and Angel and Alvaro did an amazing job taking care of us! We ordered the Pescado of the day, and it was HUGE. I ordered a side of garlic sauce, and with the combination of the salsas they provide, it was yummy. My fiancé got the fish tacos and the order comes with 4 large tacos (compared to standard 3) and a spicy Tuna tostada that was STACKED. The food was very tasty. We let the hostess know we were celebrating our anniversary when we arrived and we ended the dinner with a complimentary chocolate cake with sparklers. We also received a complimentary drink to end the meal. Overall, this was a great experience, from the ambiance, food, and service. We definitely will come back next time we're in Cancun and we highly recommend it. read more

Location is a little hidden. Have to go down a dirt road to find but once you're there you will not be disappointed. Sits right at the port, great atmosphere, and even better staff. Service is great. Very attentive. To the point where they came to fill our glass of soft drink when it was half full. We ordered the fish of the day (enough for 2 people) , guacamole with chicharrón, piña colada, and a bottled coke. The charge for the fish of the day was $600 pesos per kilogram. Ours was 1.6 kg. There are about 6 different options on how to cook the fish of the day. Everything tasted great. Highly recommend. We definitely will be coming here again before our trip ends. read more

I would have to give Puerto Santo a low rating. Maybe 1 star. The food (coconut shrimp) was fine and came right away. Probably the worst margarita I've ever had and I gauge all Mexican restaurants on their house margarita's. I even paid for another shot of tequila to pour in to see if it would make it better. The service was poor and though I asked for water twice it never came during my meal. It did however arrive after I'd received the check. The location is nice so if you want a beachside meal you can take your chances here. I don't recommend it. read more

I had a seafood misto pasta and you could tell the pasta was freshly made. My wife had tuna steak cooked rare and was perfect.
