We were there last week on a cruise. Stopped in Barlovento for beers and food. Have Luis take care you.

A very friendly little cafe. The food and drinks were very good. The service was excellent. It was our go to place for breakfast while in Merida. I highly recommend you give it a try. read more

This restaurant is the real deal!! The food was way past excellent! The service is fantastic!! Luis is the best waiter you could ask for he was great!!! I would go back to Progresso just to eat here!!! Everything was so fresh and prepared to perfection!!! read more

The chilaquiles consisted of stale chips and a green canned sauce. Customer service wasn't the greatest. Completely overpriced, would not recommend!! read more

The Best on the Malecon. Great Food and Drink Staff and the owner bend over backwards to help the wayward Gringo! Whatever the problem. After wife threw me out of our house (for nothing I might add) with the help of the Barlovento, I had a rent a car and an Apt by the beach in within an hour! Dig! read more

Amazing food and service. We've been here many times and today did not disappoint. My mummy shrimp and my wife's burger were absolutely perfect. read more

This is hands-down my favorite place to get Chile relleno in THE ENTIRE WORLD. On top of great food and great prices the staff is excellent and always helpful. They have expanded their menu to include more Americanized fare such as burgers and such. But trust me on the Chile relleno. read more

Really good food. Free wifi. Good waitstaff. Can be a little intimidating with the street vendors but I never found it oppressive or overwhelming. Part of the price of admission in my eyes. In a few years this area will be on the scale of Cozumel. We were here less that 7 months ago and there are already significant changes. In the meantime, enjoy the food and ambiance! read more

Wonderful staff, great food and drinks. Fun to be at and close to the beach what more could you want?!

This place is our regular stop. Very friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. Anything on the menu is good and you can sit inside out outside on the street! read more

This was our first visit. The outside seating for the restaurant was packed, which is always a good sign. The waiter had our menus in his hand but walked away without giving them to us so we had to ask for menus....twice. I had the grande shrimp cocktail which was disappointing. The shrimp were very small and still had the black veins across the back which is a turn-off for me. The sauce was thin ketchup. I added the onions & cilantro served on the side but it was still ketchup. read more

Excellent little Restaurant with outside tables. Waiters amazing. Even went so far as going to the store to buy cream for our coffee Food always excellent and prices very reasonable Buffet breakfast on some days Would highly recommend read more

This great little bar is located just off the Malecon in Progreso and is a favorite spot for Ex-Pats. It has out door seating and good food and ambience, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. They are known for their Fish and Chips. We tried their chicken wings which were ok, and their chicken burger which was excellent. They often have live music and on days when the cruise ships come in it is a very festive place indeed. read more

This was our first time there. I ordered the Fish and Chips because another poster had said it was good and it was.The fish was very flaky and fried to perfection.The only negative was that they didn't sell Sol cerveza. I had a Modelo Especial and it was good but not as good as the Sol read more

This is a great place to stop and eat and have a few drinks. Luis was very attentive and nice. Will make this my stop when visiting.

My shish kabob was cooked perfect chicken was juicy and veggie still firm but no seasoning. Bland unfortunately. Husbands food also bland. Won't be back. read more

So, I have given this place too many chances. I really wanted to like this place. In the beginning of our 2 month vacation we found this spot immediately. We met the greatest people there. It's right off the beach and so close to shopping that we thought we hit the jackpot. Until you order. Let's say that there philosophy is " everyone is on vacation" ! The service is so slow. Period. Go there only of you plan to spend the day! Our first meal, we got the guacamole appetizer minutes after the last person was served. The meals came out one at a time, in no particular order. Then when we got the bill , the waiter had our table and the next table on one check. Then left us to figure it out. That was the first time there. The second time was exactly the same with the timing. We had a different waiter, but it still took forever to get drinks and refills. We finally started going to the restaurant right next door for our drinks. Mind you, the other guests are all Canadian or American, and all very nice. This time, the owner (I Think) asked us if everything was good. I asked for a glass of ice ( coke was warm served in a bottle) she said sure thing in her Texas accent. A half an hour later, she revisited our table. Clueless. I reminded her about the ice as I reordered another coke. 20 min. Later the waiter brought me my drink. Because this is such a popular place with expats and English speaking travelers, I believe the owner takes her customers for granted. The breakfast buffet. Here is where we stopped being nice. I actually think the American school system would not serve this sub-par food. Horrible!!!! Again the owner lady was there and walked around pointing out to her employees what needed to be done. ( Obviously she is not a working manager) we ate only a nibble of each thing we choose. We had to ask for our check 4 times. Really? The worst food possible and now we have to beg for a check? Ridiculous! Soon after that the health department closed them down for over a week! A friend of ours came in for a week, and was already sitting at a table when arrived, so we had to stay. I ordered fish sticks, thinking " how could you screw that up", our guests ordered this ; Cordon Blue , tacos, a salad ( took a half N hour to get the sheet of ingredients you wanted in your salad) btw she had no meat on this salad, and for an appitizer, we ordered cheese sticks and Nacho's. My completely burnt fish sticks came out first. Tacos, Cordon Blue, cheese sticks, Nacho's and then the Salad all spaced out over 210 min. WTF!!!! I was only drinking Coke whereas my friends we drinking alcoholic beverages. I mention this only because it was our friends first actual day in Progresso, and I didn't want to make a scene. But that was it!! Never will I go back there. Ever. I will always tell this story to whomever will listen. This lady who owns this place does not deserve anyone's patronage. She preying on English speaking travelers to keep her business floating. In America or Canada she would have been closed down quick. PLEASE TAKE YOU BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. read more
