I totally get why this place earned Michelin recognition in 2025. The softshell crab tacos were easily the best I've ever had--perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. The salsas were incredible, the homemade bun was next-level, and that smoky cucumber drink was something special. Even the presentation was on point. Service here, and honestly all around this area, has been outstanding. Puerto Morelos is definitely a place I'd come back to. read more

Hello, We hope you would consider giving us another opportunity to visit your restaurant and help make this experience right. We dined with you on May 9 under the name Fairchild. There were three of us, and we visited around 2:00 PM. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. My seafood risotto appeared spoiled and had a hair in it. My husband's tacos made him feel ill after only one bite, and he had to leave for the restroom immediately. His drink was extremely sweet and seemed to contain little or no alcohol. My drink was incorrect, served only half full, and came without a straw or garnish. Service was also lacking. We had difficulty communicating because no one assisting us spoke English. We poured our own water throughout the meal and were never asked whether we wanted refills or additional drinks. To make matters worse, we were celebrating my daughter's birthday that day, and it was completely overlooked despite our mentioning it. We felt so sick and uncomfortable that we wanted to leave immediately. We attempted to communicate our concerns and explain that we were not feeling well, but we were unable to get assistance due to the language barrier. We will be returning to the area in December and hope you will be willing to make this right. We would appreciate hearing how you can address the issues we experienced and restore our confidence in your restaurant. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response. read more

Hands down the best restaurant experience I've had in a long time. Every single dish blew us away, starting with the bone marrow, which was so damn good we almost ordered a second round. The fish and octopus were cooked perfectly, and the soft shell crab tacos were packed with flavor. The drinks were absolutely to die for too, and Gerardo actually recommended one for me that ended up being exactly right. To top it off, the staff surprised us with an anniversary dessert we didn't even ask for, such a sweet touch that made the night even more special. Huge shoutout to Gerardo, our server, who was on top of everything all night. Attentive, warm, and clearly knows the menu and drink list inside and out. He made the whole experience even better. Can't recommend this place enough. We'll be back! read more

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! read more

Punta Corcho - Seafood Near Me - Benito Juárez, ROO

We had the most amazing experience at this restaurant. The food the service the atmosphere I can't say enough. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and the people were all so friendly. I believe there is nothing on this menu that you can go wrong with. From the amazing bread to the shrimp soup they serve you to an entree on the menu. The table side ceviche must husband said was the best he had ever had and can't stop talking about it. If you have the chance don't miss out on this amazing dinning experience. The cocktails don't disappoint either. The presentation the taste all above board. The only bad thing is we only got time this once as we stumbled upon it on our last night here but I couldn't have picked a better way to end our trip. Thank you to all the staff at Punta Corcho you blew us away!!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The restaurant is very pretty with a nice view. Drinks were excellent and creative. Bread and dips good. However the main entries were disappointing. Pretty presentation but the fish dishes lacked flavor. My sea bass was very bland and texture seemed all wrong. Only one person of 5 enjoyed their meal ...he was smart and ordered fish if the day, red snapper....well seasoned but very small. read more

I neglected to give them their proper accolades when we visited two years ago. Such a charming atmosphere, like you discovered a hidden, spectacular private dinner party atop an old weathered building in a tiny fishing town, Punta Corcho combines tier-one Yucatán cuisine with that feeling that you've stumbled onto something special and unknown. Exotic woodsmoke permeates the meats. Chile, hot, rich and smoky, seasoned the sauces. I'm hoping to go back this week and reacquaint myself with their unique and delicious menu. read more

A family favorite in Puerto Morelos! Come for the AMAZING lobster pizza, and stay for the fun, original cocktails with the freshest table side guacamole in the Yucatán. We don't typically stray from these staples when we're in town, but why mess with perfection? The restaurant is nestled on the second floor of one of the buildings on the town square, and truthfully, you couldn't ask for a more enjoyable view. Watching the kids play soccer around town, the buzz of the merchants, and the sound of the waves keep us coming back visit after visit. read more

3 stars. Come for the sea breeze, stay for the drinks. Then, go eat elsewhere. The restaurant is beautiful and has an incredible view, but we didn't find the food to be as spectacular. We ordered table side guacamole, but they just brought out a big bowl. No table side prep. Kinda disappointing. Complimentary items: soup & bread They bring a small seafood soup to cleanse your palate. It's phenomenal!!!!!! Tastes like gumbo. The bread is perfect for dipping in the soup or the chili oil. The blue corn tortillas lacked crunch and tasted stale. Lobster pizza is okay. It's super cheesy. WoodFired tacos - tasty Enjoy your Vacation!!! read more

We came here from Facebook recommendations and we are so glad we came here! What can I say that hasn't already been said, haha. What a great view, great local beers and DELICIOUS CEVICHES!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the octopus with green sauce and I'd almost pay double for this. My wife got the fish ceviche and it's just as tasty. They brought over some salsas and guacamole and I'm just in heaven! Now for the trip info, we walked about an hour on the beach from our resort, but this was worth it. read more

I feel like we're on a roll with good restaurants!!! These are some of the best fish tacos I've ever had ( chicharrón ) they were packed full of flavor, fresh and just overall delicious! We ordered our little kids cheese pizza and it was so crunchy and cheesy and melty, we ended up eating a ton of it ourselves. The surf and turf was spectacular , the lobster was absolutely mouth watering Ali g with the steak. My belly was so full and happy, but I ate it all just because it was so good! To top it all off our server was so nice, so attentive and great at recommending items off the menu! Definitely a great place with or without kids! read more

This is by far the best find we have found so far. The food and location is fantastic. Old school wood fired oven was the center point for me. As a BBQ guy the real smoked flavors show time and quality are top priority. We have dined at Punta Corcho twice now and a third was only put off by trying new places. The location is perfect as it borders the center square that kids and family's play outside. Do yourself a favor and put this on your must try list. read more

We stayed at a nearby resort which touted a gourmet five star menu. While their food was good, it didn't even compare to the mouth watering delights at Punta Corcho. We were looking for a spot for dinner nearby because we couldn't get a reservation at the resort for that evening. Everyone was starving so we drove to the closest small town and parked the car. We liked the open air look of Punta Corcho and the thatched roof. We had no idea what awaited! We were served shrimp soup as a started which was out of this world savory. The kids ordered the Chichen to drink and they were amazed! Everything here was well above five stars but that's as high as yelp goes! If you're in the area this hidden gem is a MUST EAT! The service here was excellent and the menu was in Spanish and English. Our server also spoke perfect English which was helpful since my Spanish is not quite up to par and the rest of our party are English only speakers (we're working on it!). And there was live entertainment! read more

Service was really good but be aware of the prices and food. The plates average is $30 dollars and the food it's not good. I was very disappointed. This is my second time there and I always like to try a restaurant twice before giving my honest opinion. The waiter recommended a ceviche with shrimp and octopus. Usually a $25 usa dollars which is highly expensive for Mexico. This specific plane was so awful I could not even eat it. Usually I'm used to a good ceviche and have tried several from Peru so when they called this a ceviche with hummus I was a little confused. There a so many great restaurants there that I would not spend my money here. I also order a cheese pizza for the kids again expect to pay at least 25 usa dollars but it was not worth it. Ambiance was ok, not a lot of people there. But ok. read more

This second floor gem boasts a view of the pier and amazing seafood dishes. We visited twice getting to sneak up what feels like a secret staircase entrance. Delicious cocktails - we tried most of the mezcal menu - especially loving the pinapple smoke that arrives in a steamy box. Guac is made table side and all the ceviches have bold flavors and generous portions. We came with a party of 8 and ordered the whole grouper special which paired with a couple of orders of ceviche fed us all. Some of us ordered mezcal flights which were a fun way to try some options. Also have to shout out the crispy fish tacos! Yum! read more

The food at Punta Corcho is fantastic! The menu is unique with many specialty dishes. We started with guacamole, octopus ceviche, and grilled octopus with beef. All three dishes were amazing. For dinner we had the pork carnitas tacos, fish tacos, tomahawk steak, and oven fired grouper. The grouper had a lovely fired taste and was accompanied by red cabbage salad and avocado. The steak was also delicious and cooked perfectly. The tacos were also a wonderful combination of meat and slaw. The restaurant has a wonderful wine and cocktail list. Many of the cocktails are unique. The service was great! We were not rushed and were given ample time between courses. I would recommend making a reservation as they are very popular with locals and tourists. We will be back next time we visit Puerto Morelos!! read more
