If I could give La Sirena more than 5 stars, I would! I…read morefirst reached out to La Sirena a few weeks before our trip to arrange a sunset dinner for a bachelorette party of 11. Then, on the day of our reservation, the guys decided they wanted to join us too - suddenly we were a group of 21! La Sirena graciously accommodated all of us without missing a beat. I had pre-ordered appetizers- delicious roasted Cheese Saganaki, Fried Calamari, Tirokafteri, Tzatziki + 4 or 5 more, including mac and cheese. Every one of them was a hit! I was covering for the group, and from there the staff took everyone's individual drink and additional food orders and even helped us manage separate checks. With a group that large, that alone is impressive! The service was fabulous, the food was excellent, the sunset atmosphere was beautiful, and the live band was fantastic. We had such a fun night. But it didn't stop there. A few days later, we chartered a fishing boat and came back with mahi-mahi, amberjack, and porgy. We brought our catch to La Sirena, and they prepared it for us - grilled and fried - and served it with fries and an absolutely fantastic salad for only $15 per person! It was delicious and an incredible value. My picture does not do it justice - it was excellent! They even helped package all of our leftover fish into separate containers so we could take it back to our hotel and share it with members of our group who hadn't gone fishing. And THEN there was the margarita glass! We loved La Sirena so much that we bought one of their beautiful handmade margarita glasses to bring home. Sadly, despite our best efforts, it was completely crushed during our trip home. I reached out to Anthony, and he was wonderful. He worked with me to arrange for a replacement glass to be shipped safely to us with insurance. That level of customer service -especially after we'd already returned home -says so much about this restaurant and the people who work there. From accommodating our last-minute group of 21, to the wonderful service and live music, to preparing our freshly caught fish, to helping replace our treasured margarita glass, La Sirena truly went above and beyond for us again and again. We can't say enough good things about this place. If you're visiting Puerto Morelos, do yourself a favor and go to La Sirena. Great food, wonderful people, fantastic atmosphere, and some of the best service we experienced during our entire trip. Thank you, La Sirena and Anthony, for helping make our trip so memorable. We will absolutely be back!

We were drawn in by a fella play "Outstanding" 70's & 80's music, such as Journey, AC/DC, Bryan Adams, and even Santana. He was a wonderful performer. The walls are lined with various vehicle license plates. Most are from the US. All the staff was friendly spoke English well, which helped us stupid Americans who can't speak anything other than, not that great English As for the meals. There were four of us today and all our meals were great. Very filling large portions. The wifey had the Fish Tacos and she even let me try a piece of fish. She loved it and I have to say the fish piece had a wonderful flavor. I had the chicken and cheese quesadilla. Again filled with medium-sized chicken pieces. I'm a big eater and will tell you my 4 quesadillas filled me up. The wife and I had bottled sodas and my friends had beer. Lastly, I'm writing this the next day and as a traveler, like us, you might be concern about any "after effects." Well, there were zero! So I will say this if here - give this place a try. You will not be disappointed!

We sat on the upper balcony by the rail and got a decent breeze. While Spanish was definitely the predominant language being spoken, they did have menus in English and the wait staff spoke some. Three of us ordered burgers and one tacos. All of us had margaritas. Everyone was happy with their food, but the burgers were better. I got the Caribbean burger, which was quite good-they served the hot sauce on the side for those who are concerned. Needing special mention are the Papas Bravas-crispy outside and soft/fluffy inside. Worth the upgrade. Overall, a great option for dinner. I can see why it's so popular with the locals.

Very tasty. Next was Moors con Cristianos. Rice and beans with pork belly. All of these dishes were not huge, but we couldn't finish them all anyway. For dessert, we had Coco con Pina, which is coconut ice cream with pineapple. It made our mouths happy. Last, but not least it least, they had some dancers put on a show.

The good: - Located at the Grand Mayan, pool side. - Precautions are taken with covid. Servers wear masks. Tables are socially distanced. - You can sit outdoors and have a meal. - Guacamole and assorted cracker basket pair well together. The bad: - Nachos are horrible. Do not order unless you want to eat burnt tortillas doused in rancid oil. - Severely understaffed in one of the busiest locations. - Doesn't offer water. It must be bought. Went for lunch while hanging out by the pool. I had been a few times in recent years so was happy to be back until this experience.. I had sat down and ordered before a large table was being served, except, they received their appetizers and drinks before me. I chalked it up to minimal wait staff. The nachos I got as an appetizer didn't look right. Many chips were burnt to a crisp. Thinking nothing of it, I began picking at the middle parts but a couple bites in determined that they didn't taste right either. The person I was with agreed. To me, they tasted like the oil had been reused over and over. I waived down the server to express my dislike. He didn't seem impressed. Seeing other tables recieve a complimentary chip basket that we didn't get was strange, so I waived down another server to ask about it. The server we asked wasn't our guy so he passed on the memo and our guy returned annoyed by the request saying he had forgotten. Plus everything took so long.. Given that I had to switch out the nachos for something else, went with the mixed yellow ceviche (appetizer), which was really good and made up for all the earlier mishaps. My dining companion requested a grilled salmon burger. They had eaten it at another location on the property one night and compared the two; this fishy was much smaller in size. Yet, we made do. My ceviche was really good. There were lots of different kinds of seafood in it; scallops, octopus, grouper and salmon in a citrus marinade. It came with nothing but since we had a complimentary assorted chip basket, that's what I ate it with. Keep in mind that they have two menus; lunch and dinner. Not all the offerings are provided in both menus. Lunch has more selection.

We stayed at the Vidanta resort, and just like most resorts they have everything from restaurants…read moreto shops, to entertainment, to pools so everything is at the tip of your fingers. We decided to check out the Blue Fish since we heard from a couple of people their ceviche was good. We decided to give it a try & see if the Blue Fish really lived up to its hype. Upon arrival , the restaurant was very modern , and the vibrant colors filled the room with its lavish surroundings. I loved the ambiance of the place. The service was excellent, and the ac was blasting which was really nice. I also loved the complimentary bucket of chips. It was different and had plantains and sweet potato chips on top of the tortilla chips. The 2 dipping sauces were both very good as well. Drinks Margarita: The margarita was okay. I was hoping they'd have a lime on the edge. It was a little bitter for my liking but it was drinkable. 3/5 Chavela: My God I think this would have to be the best Chavela I've ever tried. It had a nice balance of saltiness and was super refreshing. 5/5 Food Mixed Yellow Ceviche: This ceviche had a mix of different fish. It had scallop, octopus ,grouper ,fresh salmon, with a yellow Peruvian citrus chili sauce and cilantro .I loved the flavor. It tasted like it had coconut, ginger, and citrus. It was amazing. Had this twice because it was that good. MUST HAVE! 5/5 Peruano Ceviche: Carribean grouper, red onion , Monzano chili pepper , lime juice and cilantro . This one was okay. Just tasted very citrusy (lime ) felt like it was missing something. 3/5 Annato Crispy Calamari: This dish was Such a disappointment . The Calamari was burnt to a crisp and almost tasted like fried squid. It was too over cooked 1/5 Tacos Gobernador: I've never had shrimp tacos before and this one really blew Me away . The tortillas were fresh, the shrimp was marinated in chipotle Chile & the Oaxaca cheese tied everything together. It was amazing!5/5 Seafood Alambre tacos: I thought I would've been sick of tacos already but nope.They have so many different variations , why not try everything. This taco was a little unusual ( in a good way ) It had shrimp , octopus , calamari , and scallops cooked in bacon . Yes you heard me , bacon . Bacon makes everything taste better. The flavors meshed well together and the tomato avocado salsa made it exceptional.5/5 Overall this place was our go to since we were craving seafood a lot and the ceviche really hit the spot. The service here is amazing and our waiter Josue really gave us world class service . Our table kept rocking back and forth since the floor wasn't leveled and he took out a paper, folded it and stuck it under one of the legs and voila , problem fixed . 5 star service . As for the food stick with the mixed yellow ceviche and the gobernador tacos and trust me you won't be disappointed!
