19.5 Km Restaurant - The current rate is $1USD-MXP20, their rate was MXP16 for $1. They always charge us for something that we NEVER ordered on our bill! - Seafood Near Me - Cancún, ROO

My wife and I stayed at an all-inclusive resort in Cancun but quickly got tired of the food. We ended up eating at the KM 19.5 restaurant three times during our week stay. All on different days, we ate once for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food was always great and the service was always good. it's a great place to go to get away from the bland resort food. Get your seat for the brilliant sunsets on the bay. Don't forget to say hi to Panchito, the little iguana that hangs around. read more

The food is fresh and tasty; Casual atmosphere. However, the service is uniformly SLOW! We ate here three times- mainly because it was across the street from our hotel. Not just us- twice, we could overheat other customers complaining about the wait times. I'm talking, 45-60 minutes just to get your drinks! After the second time, I swore I wasn't going back, but we went a third- with very low expectations. The group next to us were complaining because we were served before them- I could feel their pain. The food and prices were good, BUT.... read more

My wonderful wife and I ate dinner @ this local dive and boy did it live up to its reputation. Phenomenal eats, spectacular drinks, and the most awesome hospitality in Cancun. We enjoyed the best shrimp tacos and chicken burritos the Caribbean had to offer. Modest pricing made for a thumbs up experience at this Cancun eatery. read more

came here everyday for lunch. our resort was right across the street, so it was convenient. this place has SOLID ceviche. excellent! we got it every single afternoon. i highly recommend it if you want some good ceviche. there were also delicious fresh juices. i got fresh pineapple juice everyday. the tacos are great. it doesn't say so on the menu, but know that you can get the fish and shrimp tacos grilled instead of fried. i found the fried version to be too thickly battered. the outdoor seating is beautiful. it's never packed. there's a woman who works there who is working her ASS off. she's awesome. chill spot with very good food. read more

This place was great! Sad that we figured out it was right across our hotel on the last few days in Cancun but glad we're found it. You can watch the sun set beautifully here. Really clean food and attentive server. Try the steak fajita! read more

We have visited this place twice. It can take them 45 min to cook the food, which is very slow based on our standard. The food tastes good, though. read more

If you're thinking about walking into this place because it's conveniently located across the street from your hotel, don't. To be upfront, I didn't even get to try the food here so this review is about the experience. My girlfriend and I walked into the restaurant which was less than half occupied, every customer turning to stare at us as if to warn us... We stood at the entrance while the waiter and cashier ignored us for a good minute and then I walked up to the cashier to ask him if we could just seat ourselves. He never even turned to look at me and had a very bad attitude. We sat down and waited 15 minutes for them to come take our order, which they never did. We watched the waiter ignore customers time and time again as they would try to flag him down for a check, to ask for utensils, or a drink. In one case, he ignored a man who literally got up from his chair and was in front of the waiters face. The waiter just turned the other way and kept walking! Unbelievable. I also watched a customer walk into the kitchen to get their attention. After those 15 minutes of waiting and seeing enough, we got up and walked straight out. On our way out we gave each of the poor customers a "good luck" look and they acknowledged that we were making the right choice in leaving. If you end up going here, I really hope you have a different experience. read more

This was the first place we ate when in Cancun. We stayed at the Oleo which is basically across the street. We entered the establishment, and it has a vacation vibe to it and was a good way to start our vacation. We sat down and we got drinks very quickly. Margaritas was good, fresh strawberries. Drinks were reasonable priced, but light in the alcohol. As far as time was concerned, it wasn't the same for our meal. We waited forever for food. Service overall slow. We order pasta loco and were told 45 minutes after ordering that they had no pasta loco. We were told that while they brought out our appetizer of guacamole and chips came out. The food took over an hour. A party of eight left because they were taking too long. The food was good and was worth a long wait to an extent. Once that reasonable wait time passed it wasn't cool. To spend 1 hr and 40 minutes to eat while on vacation in an establish that isn't busy is beyond unacceptable. read more

Being from the sunrise side of the beach this place was perfect because it gave me a chance the enjoy a beautiful sunset over the lagoon and they had excellent food. Guacamole was perfect and chips are great for dipping. I also ordered fish tacos and shrimp tacos. They're simple yet with the toppings they provide taste extraordinary. My favorite was the fish although my fiancé liked the shrimp more. They come with only salsa and a special sauce on the side so don't expect a fully loaded taco. Service is decent but don't expect too much as there was only one or two servers for the entire place. Paid about $24 US for two orders of tacos, guacamole and chips and two beers. read more

Very good service and very friendly people. The food was really good and the view was spectacular. This place is very cute and the view of the water made everything feel very romantic. I will definitely come back the next time I am in Cancun. They are reasonably priced and we were able to get an appetizer, two drinks, and two entrées for under 35 bucks. You can't beat that and the view. read more

This place is in the bottom of the hotel zone. It's nothing amazing, but they have a nice view of the water, so that's a plus. They start early and have breakfast etc. The shrimp & fish tacos are breaded and deep fried with delicious salsa on the side. I would say the shrimp is better than the fish. read more

This was one of those restaurants which I wish I hadn't wasted a meal on. It's an open restaurant with a lagoon view and the ambience was nice but that's where it's good qualities end. The service was slow (even for Cancun standards), we were starving by the time our food was served. I had the ceviche and my husband had fajitas. The food was bland and the ceviche didn't taste very fresh. Wouldn't go back again ever! read more

Loved this place! You must try their breakfast and order their chilaquiles! Everything made to order. Truly a place to visit when in Cancun.

Excellent food. Service was just as good. Highly recommend!!! Fresh everything at this adorable restaurant!! Bathrooms were sketchy but food made up for it!! read more

Joe is very sweet!! Very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed. Had the shrimp tacos and the shrimp ceviche which was solid. The pina colada and margarita was during did if you like that, it's a plus. Place was a short half mile walk from westin hotel. read more

Delicious margaritas, beautiful view and delicious food. We had ceviche and a burrito. The server Miguel was very sweet. He offered a habenero hot sauce that was remarkably hot. Be careful with that stuff. A cute authentic place in the middle of the tourist area. read more

Nice little restaurant with a nice evening sunset view! Wait staff was friendly. Food was very good and decently priced! Green sauce was hot but very good. Definitely would recommend! read more

This place is a few minute walk from our penthouse, the food is super good specially the fish tacos , the service is great however a little slow but worth it ! Also I recommend the ceviche:) read more

The food is absolutely amazing. It is kind of expensive, but the view is spectacular. I would recommend to go half an hour before sunset. The wait for everything was a bit long because it seemed like there were only a few people working there, but other than that, it was wonderful. I went 2 times already and am most likely going to be going back often. read more

Great food reasonable price. The restaurant is close to the sea, with soft wind and beautiful view. Most incredible is their services. Servers and chiefs are so friendly and helpful. If you stay in hotel zone, you should not miss here read more

Really enjoyed this place. Small hut on the side of the road. Close by Cancun plaza. Very reasonable prices, great atmosphere and delicious food. My boyfriend and I came here twice- once for lunch and once for dinner. For lunch we had the fish tacos and shrimp tacos (both delicious) and for dinner we had the salmon and the pasta with shrimp. The salmon was tasty and I loved their pasta!! read more

19.5 Km Restaurant - The fish tacos and shrimp tacos! Both great. - Seafood Near Me - Cancún, ROO

I have eaten several places here in Cancun and this is by far my favorite! Miguel and Joe are outstanding, not to mention, the food is the best ... and at a reasonable price. read more

We came here on our first day in Cancun after a long redeye flight. We were tired and cranky, and looking for a refuge from ourselves. This place was perfect! It was 11am, they were only serving breakfast. And it was a fantastic breakfast. This place is NOT an overpriced tourist trap, like everything that surrounds it. It's a wonderful little outdoor shack with excellent food and really friendly staff. Highly recommended! read more

Delicious. Good for breakfast; really friendly service. The chilaquiles were the best we've had! Maybe not the best place to go if you're in a hurry, I think all the food was cooked from scratch. But who cares when you're enjoying such a wonderful view and good food! read more

The service was excellent and the food was very clean and satisfying. Nice outdoor area over the water and very reasonably priced. read more

All the reviews on 19.5 are correct. Limited menu but best restaurant in Cancun. This is only the 2nd review I have ever given but it has to be done because people need to know about it. Cheeseburger: best I have ever had. Shrimp burger: awesome. Ceviche: huge portion and top of the line. Cost: cheaper than anything in Cancun. We are here for 10 days. We've already been twice and plan to go back to try the burrito and fajitas... Plus breakfast too. Definitely no frills but it's worth the visit folks! read more

This little gem looks like a hut from the outside but it was quite the discovery. The fish ceviche was so good. I literally drank the leftover juice at the end . We also had shrimp tacos and shrimp fajitas. All very flavorful. I would have liked a little more garnish for the tacos but no complaints. My dinner mate had a burger that came with triangle shaped fries.....they were seasoned but I wouldn't order a burger. Stick with the more local entrees. read more

Really loved this place! It was within walking distance from our hotel. The chips and salsa were AMAZING!!! The burger was ok, but the fries made up for any problems the burger had. The fajitas were just perfect. Such a great place!! read more

This place was a hidden gem! The view from the patio was AMAZING and the food was delicious. We LOVED the shrimp burrito & the seasoned potatoes were so good. The parking was difficult but we paid 50 pesos down the street and it was super worth it. I can't get over the shrimp burrito :) read more

What a great little place! Very chilled, by the lagoon. If you want a quick bite to eat somewhere low key and good value for money then this is your place. The service was great - very friendly. The shrimp burger was very tasty and then I went back the next day for the chicken burrito! Highly recommend. read more

The 1 star is for the delicious smoothies. Prices are cheap relative to the rest of hotel zone, but still pretty pricey compared to most other places in Mexico. The food was okay (I appreciated the shrimp tacos recommendation from others here), but the service was absolutely horrendous, making it by far the worst experience we've had in Cancun. First, the waitress messed up our smoothie order, and when we told her we'd ordered mango, not pineapple, she didn't offer to correct the error. However, seeing that she was busy and not wanting to be difficult customers, we told her it was fine, we'd just take the pineapple. After that however, we waited nearly an HOUR for our food to arrive, and after we pointed out that the two tables that arrived after us had been served before us, the waitress started making up excuses which we later found out were untrue. We arrived at 6:55 pm to catch the sunset, ordered at 7 and were told that our food started cooking at 7:07. As we waited, four other tables filled up. Half an hour later, two of them had left due to the wait. Forty minutes later, we saw two of the tables that came after us get served appetizers. I went to ask the waitress how our food was doing, and she went to check. She came to our table and told us that they were cooking the food now (so she'd lied to us earlier about our food being cooked at 7:07), and explained that the other tables' food had come first because the appetizers were cold and were quick to cook. Just then, we saw one of those tables receiving a burger. When I pointed this out to the waitress, she stuttered and said, "umm, let me go check on the kitchen." In the end, she brought out the food, providing neither an explanation of why it took so long, nor an apology for the hour-long wait. Would absolutely not recommend. read more

Nice little spot with a great view. That atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. The drinks are small but good. The food was just ok, nothing to brag about. The staff was nice and the owner seemed very nice as well. There was a group of us and we all had different plates and all of them were just OK, there was not one plate that we thought was amazing, this is why we're only giving it two stars. read more

Having had several meals at our hotel or busy hotel zone area places, we want to pick a local place and found this via yelp. The food is OK but service is very good. The guy (forget his name) was nice. We order pasta, 2 shrimp taco, chicken fijita, 2 Ceviche for 4 people. Obviously too much food but we want to try different things and they are cheap anyway. It is a small place with 2 small tables near balcony (other reviewers already have photos) and 4 small tables inside. read more

Super delicious shrimp burger and pasta con pescado. Joe is very nice and helpful. This is a small, simple place where the owner serves and an older lady cooks. I didn't expect this in the hotel zone. read more

So I'm going to come right out and tell you I'm like the guy from the Johnny Cash song .... I've Been to Reno Chicago Fargo Minnesota Buffalo Toronto Winslow Sarasota Wichita Tulsa Ottawa Oklahoma well you get the drift. And I have to say the food here is truly spectacular for being in the hotel Zone they can overcharge and it can be pretty blase but it's not it's freaking awesome I get down there once a year maybe twice a year an average of about 10 days per trip when I walk through the door Miguel says hey my friend how have you been? He remembers who I am from the year before ... we talked about his wife and children I would usually start off with a large guacamole which is more than enough for two people, I'll go into a Don Julio Tequila and a Modelo for my other hand.... Miguel will bring out the bottles of tequila and pour them in front of you so there's no dispute about what they're pouring for you I slide into the grilled fish Tacos and have the green habanero sauce on the side ay Chihuahua she is hot,,,,, Sadly I was there the week of March 19th in 2020 when the virus start occurring so we're only allowed to have every other table filled on the patio.... I highly recommend going there if you were at that in the hotel zone or if you want to take the bus it's well worth the ride up there the food is truly awesome the drinks are always cold the tables have been wobbly and you have to put a paper plate under him as long as I've been going there but that's part of the fun of the place nothing real loud and crazy but I'm not going for party crowd I'm going for the food and for my friends!! These guys rock everyone else is just quite average read more

Came here for lunch. Service was horrible. Never received our waters. They weren't even busy and we watched a table sit for 30 minutes without the waitress coming up to serve them. We got the shrimp fajitas and it was just shrimp and onions. Would never come back here. Then the server had the audacity to ask how much tip we were giving her when we literally had to leave our table and stand at front to receive our check. read more

Ordered the angus burger and shrimp burger. Burgers come with tasty seasoned potatoes. Shrimp burger was soggy, pass on this. Angus burger was solid and can feed two people. Service a little slow and inattentive but prices were reasonable. Seating is outdoors and overlooks the lagoon. Mosquitoes abound so beware. Also, parking is atrocious! read more

Really enjoyed this spot. We were hungry and looking for anything NOT in a hotel and Joe's fit the bill. Nothing fancy and music was too loud (too old?!) but the waiter turned it down to acceptable levels and we had a nice time. read more

We came to Km 19.5 for a quick lunch before returning home after a brief vacation in Cancun. We really enjoyed our meal. Fair prices. Delightful wait-staff. Very good food. Would have ordered grilled fish tacos rather than fried , but we enjoyed them immensely nonetheless. Guacamole was delicious as well. All good! ¡Provecho! read more
