    Fantastic restaurant on the 2nd floor in Puerto Morelos down by the light house. Definitely make reservations early as the place is small or you'll find yourself eating at 9pm like us. We ordered the tasting menu which was the way to go. Everything was delicious, flavorful and some dishes super unique. The only course I didn't love was the fish course but at no fault of the restaurant as it features a spice I am just not a fan of, was still cooked and plated nicely. Staff were friendly and attentive and was just an overall great experience. Would definitely come back!

    Visiting again and had to go to lunch at Punta Corcho. This was our 5th visit in the last few years and it's still incredible. Definitely try the grilled octopus!

    I was celebrating a birthday in Puerto Morelos and we walked by Punta Corcho and saw that they were awarded a Michelin star. Reservations were made! This place was outstanding! Shrimp, polpo, sea bass, ceviche amongst many more beautiful bites and delicious cocktails. The atmosphere was stunning with a view overlooking the city center and the beach. The service was top notch and our evening ended with a delicious berry crumble and happy birthday playing over the speakers. This place was beautiful. Don't hesitate to dine here. It is a star in the sweet town!

    To start, it can be a little tricky finding the place because it's upstairs... if you're walking from the plaza, go around the side and in between vendor shops you will see a narrow staircase that takes you up to Punta Corcho. Once inside, it gives modern seaside vibes. There are ocean views from one side of the restaurant and it has a sexy, dim lit atmosphere at night. We tried MANY of their Michelin star menu items. There wasn't a thing that we didn't like. Everything was great. It's definitely California restaurant pricing, however, it's Michelin rated so that makes sense. Our server was incredibly sweet, though he did seem a bit over worked as he appeared to be the only one that night. With that said, service was a bit slow but on vacation we can move a bit slower anyway. The stand out for us... was the drinks. They were all incredible. We would definitely return.

    The fish filet with esquites

    Pro-tip: the entrance is tucked away between all the vendors on the sidewalk (on the Chedraui side, not the side facing the town square). Gorgeous upstairs place with a beautiful view of the ocean and the town square. It's airy, breezy, and nicely decorated. The food itself is full of complexity and layers of flavor. Everything blends together to create exquisite and unique dishes. For one of the more expensive places in town, this is the one to go to. Dishes are perfectly seasoned. I had the fish filet with esquites and my partner had the soft shell crab tacos. My fish was cooked perfectly - not soggy, not undercooked, drowned in sauce but still edible. They bring you soft and deliciously warm rolls and blue corn hard tortillas before your meal, along with a few different salsas to put on your food as you like. We ordered some drinks as well - the mango summer (I think it was) and the Mai Tai. Both were delicious. Service was very attentive and very friendly; one of the more punctual places we've been to. The only thing I didn't care for is it felt like there weren't many options on the menu, but, again, this is one of the nicer places that is worth the price in PM!!

    Beautiful restaurant, decent food. The soft shell crab tacos were really flavorful and I would recommend. Wanted to love the grilled fish but we had better elsewhere. It was good just didn't blow me away. The octopus and shrimp pizza was an interesting idea and actually turned out to be pretty tasty! The service was okay and the staff was knowledgeable about the food. Definitely a safe bet coming here but nothing crazy.

    We were in town on vacation and went out for dinner. We looked on Yelp while walking around and find this amazing restaurant. It was perfect right upstairs on the corner overlooking the ocean at sunset. The food was delicious! I had the soft shell crab tacos and OMG!! There cocktails were amazing as well one of the best smoky pineapple margaritas I've ever had. My family all enjoyed their food especially the grilled octopus. Make sure you leave room for dessert. The strawberry crumble was to die for and the chocolate lava cake. Above all the service was impeccable. If you are planning to go you may want to make a reservation. It's small and gets packed. Well worth the $. If we are ever in that area again we will definitely go again.

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!

It's easily my favorite seafood restaurant in Puerto Morelos - which is full of seafood restaurants. The bad part is that there is no ocean view and no air conditioning, you need a car or a taxi to get there and the staff speaks little English. The good part is that it is clearly a very popular local place - my party has always been the only obviously non-local group in a usually crowded place- and the seafood is amazingly fresh, perfectly prepared, served fast (considering it is made to order) and delicious. The portions are enormous. The price is reasonable. One can eat like a king for 15 to 25 dollars a person. My favorite is the octopus ceviche. The octopus is soft and fresh and perfectly cooked. Tossed with very fresh finely chopped onions, tomatoes and peppers in a lemon, chili and cilantro sauce that is not too spicy. The best ceviche I have had in Quintana Roo. A medium portion is a very ample appetizer for two people or a satisfying meal for one person. We generally follow up with the whole fried hogfish, around a pound of perfectly fried fish, very fresh, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, nicely salted. Served with a salad, a small portion of yellow rice and a really strong hot sauce on the side. The octopus escabeche and the shrimp with garlic sauce are also excellent choices. A cold Corona beer (or two) completes the meal.
