Let me start off by saying hay we spent $28 here for two meals, appetizer, and $3 drinks! The food was so fresh and it was a little hole in the wall which we loved! The smoked oyster avocado was phenomenal, the fried fish tacos were good, and the shrimp tacos were so good! They bring out different salsas and mayo dressing combined with different chiles! All homemade and piping hot when they get to the table! Plus you can walk around with beer in a plastic cup! I love Cancun! read more

Santos Mariscos - Tacos Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Santos Mariscos is a very quaint restaurant that's very easy to overlook. Nestled between its expensive competitors, Santos Mariscos offers value and taste! I ordered the sampler platter and was taken aback at the amount of food that arrived! There were 14 tacos and empanadas on the platter!! They were delicious! I could only sample a few of the offerings which came in pairs. My favorites were the chicken and and the octopus tacos, with the fish empanadas coming in a very strong third place. The shrimp with cheese, onion, and pablano pepper was not a favorite for me nor was the fish gringa. There was a beef taco but I would have classified it as more closely related to a leather taco due to the extreme toughness of the beef. A delicious assortment of sauces including pico de gallo, habanero sauce, and a couple of others were delivered for my dining pleasure as well. The staff was very friendly and answered all of my questions. I just didn't ask the right question about the amount of food on that sampler platter, it could easily feed 4 to 6 people!! I had a margarita, ok a couple of margaritas which were very tasty also. So why only a 3 star rating? The condiment containers were not clean although the restaurant apps read clean, and the restroom was right there beside the dining area. The restroom was clean but very, very small. If it's needed plan on minimum activities while inside.. Otherwise, but for the condiment containers I'd likely have given Santos Mariscos a 5 star rating! read more

After being in Quintana Roo and staying in Playa Del Carmen for almost a full week, we only found El Fogon as great food. We drove to Cancun today and were pleasantly surprised by the awesome shrimp cocktail with more than enough to feed two people with just a medium order. The grilled fish tacos with all of the toppings were good. The guacamole was very fresh and delicious, excellent!! Great service by the owner and he was more than helpful and extremely friendly. I will be returning to this good eatery more. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. 04/28/16 1:46 PM read more

Nice, inexpensive, fresh. Come for tacos and ceviche. Salad is very nice. The Peruvian next door is also very good, but $$$$. This is more simple and authentic place. read more

First just know that this place is easy to miss, it is nestled between two $$$$ restaurants, and you may want to overlook it, DONT!!!!! We decided to leave the Hotel and walk on down the strip to find something to eat that was casual and delicious. As we were walking down the strip, we happened on this little strip mall taco shop. An older gentleman was talking to us as we walked by and asked if we liked Tacos.... Duh! So we sat inside, the first thing we noticed was the Lucha Libre art and menu cover. this got us right away. We ordered some beer, a platter of White fish Pastor, a platter of Octopus Tacos, and a casserole dish with Fish, shrimp and Calamari which in my long experience of Socal, Baja and Texas Mexican food, never encountered such a delicious dish. Ahead of the meal there was a basket of salsas and dipping sauces which we enjoyed with the chips that were on the table. The two servers/bartenders/runners/bussers that ran the place did a great job of providing service to us and the other people in the place. The food was AMAZING, like RIDICULOUS level, fresh, tasty and filling. Service was A+!!!! Goes to show that in an area of opulence and riches, there is always a place where the prices are low and the food is top notch. read more

I got the beer battered shrimp tacos and the fish tacos that were cooked "Parish" style. The fish didn't particularly taste like fish or wasn't seasoned too strongly, but the deep fried shrimp was amazing. They bring out a small tray of different sauces and the tomato salsa tasted the best with both of the tacos. They sold at 30 pesos each, or you could get 3 tacos for about 86 pesos. Pretty cheap and comparable to the price of Wahoo's, if you're used to that in the US. We weren't feeling too hungry so we only got 2, but you should definitely get 3 if you want to get a full meal. Drinks cost about 26 pesos. The atmosphere is a little tacky, but pleasant enough for its price. All the other restaurants we saw around here had entrees starting at 150 pesos. read more

Bad bad bad. We walked in and waited 20 minutes for anyone to even offer to take drink orders. The other customers were also neglected. The one waiter was too busy watching the soap opera inside the bar to even bother attending the clients. The one other "staff" member didn't seem to care and I dare say is the person that owns the place but just hangs around drinking at the bar. The food was awful. The shrimp cocktail had minimal frozen salad shrimp. Too much effort in fishing out what seemed to be a handful of shrimp. All our drinks (including powder Horchata) were served at room temp. NEVER going back again. read more

Again and again I have tried places in Cancun that were good but just not quite as good as Santos Mariscos. The shrimp is just amazing. The service is the best combination of friendly and genuine. They make you feel welcome and they feed you like family. I can't recommend Santos Mariscos strongly enough. Try a platter of plain shrimp done in their style. It's so good I may be ruined for other places. If you miss it you are missing the best. read more

another hole in the wall in the middle of the hotel zone strip with a few tables inside and 4 bar tops outside. cool nacho libre decor throughout, very friendly service from the lone waiter/bartender. food was tasty and inexpensive (compared to resort prices and depending on how much you drink). highly recommend the shrimp and cheese tacos (forget the Spanish name unfortunately) and the only thing i didn't love was how sweet the margaritas were. read more

Recently went to Cancun for my honeymoon and I was craving tacos. This place is right in the hotel zone but very easy to miss since it's so small and sandwiched between two restaurants. The pretty lights attracted me and I read the menu that was outside the restaurant. TACOS!!! Trying this restaurant was one the best things I did in Cancun. I had the fish and shrimp tacos and they were delicious. The owners are SO sweet and made the experience better. read more

This was the most creative restaurant we visited in Cancun. The indoor restaurant looked quite small, but there were 6 larger tables in front, inside a lucha libre-themed patio. The menu also had wrestling characters, and each table had a basket of sauces shaped like a wrestling ring. The food on the menu was also some of the most creative I've seen for a more casual restaurant. We ordered ceviche served in cucumber boats, which were excellent. We also had chili fried shrimp served on jicama with pineapple and green pepper. This was a good idea, but each one had too large a slice of jicama and was difficult to keep together to eat. We also tried the guacamole with smoked oysters on top. The oysters really complemented guacamole flavors, but this batch of guacamole unfortunately was far too heavy on the lime. The last thing we tried were the octopus tacos, which had good flavors but were overcooked, chewy, and dry. Our beers and piña colada were normal, and overall the price for the amount of food we had was a very good value. read more
