    Wow wow wow. First the views of course are to die for. Second, the cocktails are unreal. Finally the food. I ordered the fried shrimp tacos and I highly recommend. They're crispy and citrusy and gushing with sauce. Don't ever skimp on the sauce! We also had their whole fresh caught fish. He brought it out for us to see and then they cooked it beautifully. The fish changes per season/day but always delicious and it feels so good eating something freshly caught that day. We'll be back next time we're in PM.

    Such a charming seafood restaurant! Make sure to arrive early to guarantee getting catch of the day. The outdoor seating near the water is magical. The ceviche is delicious, as well as the adobo shrimp served with polenta. It was so yummy I had an extra side of polenta. The wait staff are kind and make great recommendations. On a nice night you can easily sit for a while enjoying food and drinks. Highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

    This is one of my favorite places for dinner in Puerto Morelos . I always get the wood grilled fish and it is fantastic. There were eight of us at this meal, and I think everyone had a great dinner except for the person who ordered the ribs. They were definitely the toughest ribs I've ever seen and we're not able to be cut with a knife. However I guess we learned our lesson and will stick to the foods there are more known for. Service on this trip was pretty slow, but that hasn't been the case the past. Hopefully, this was an anomaly

    Round 2 ... Even my picky bday boy loved it!!!!

    Sooo good!! We hit this spot after snorkeling with Extreme Adventure which was a great experience ... Service here was great, food quality top notch, and the margarita was well balanced. No complaints whatsoever. I'll be back!!! Oh wait, the view..... Incomparable.

    This place isn't the easiest to spot from street view but it has to be one of the best restaurants in Puerto Morelos. The ambiance, service, food and drinks were amazing. The ceviche was the best I've ever had, and the lobster entrée recommended by the waiter was out of this world. Out of all my dining experiences during this recent trip, this restaurant was up there in my top favorite. I would definitely dine here again!

    The service was fantastic. The food was beautifully plated, and so so delicious! The ceviche wad best I have had since visiting Peru! The ambiance is great, overlooking the ocean, great music playing with boats flowing in the dock. Honestly a great spot for a romantic date or celebratory dinner!

    The service was top notch with attention to our every need by our server, Alejandro, and the other staff despite arriving shortly before closing. Alejandro made great menu suggestions and we had 2 delicious, very tasty meals! Appetizer (shrimp empanadas), entrees (raviolis and shrimp), and desserts (apple tart and banana cake) were definitely the best food of our entire Cancun vacation! To top it off, the restaurant is located right on the beach so the atmosphere is unbeatable! We had a wonderful meal under the full moon. Amazing place! We will definitely be back anytime we're in the area!

    A surprisingly upscale meal at a chill beach side patio. You have to enter through some shops but it's truly a hidden gem. We were all impressed by the presentation and taste of all the dishes. Definitely give it a try!

    What a gem, walk inside through the little market and be amazed when you sit down (we recommend the little dock that has about 4 tables). The service was exceptional, so friendly and sincere, perhaps the best service we have seen in years (from all the various countries we have visitors). The food was also really good, cocktails on point and we ordered a Mexican wine bottle (Zinfandel/Cabernet, incognito) which was good as well (ask for a bucket of ice so the wine is on good temp). $$ for value was on point as well, with the wine it became a bit more pricy, but still this would have been $350 dinner in US for two people, we paid $200. Amazing fresh fish, and lots of other amazing dishes such a ceviche, soft shell crab taco's, octopus dish and name sake fish of the restaurant as a main. We probably could have eaten this food with 4 people, so consider that within the price. Overall a lovely unique experience that will be hard to repeat thanks to Martha, Ivan and Samuel (host)!

    We went back a second time during our few days in Puerto Morelos, as it was truly amazing. The food is gourmet & remarkable, both taste & presentation. The service is great & the entire staff is friendly & professional. It is on the beach with a high thatched roof & huge windows overlooking a frw moored fishing boats. Home made corn & pepita tortillas! The best ceviche we ever had (& I make ceviche & eat it out often as well). I had whole grilled fish & we had grilled Caribbean shrimps to die for! SO GREAT!! We had a variet of gourmet tacos the first time we were here & also the Ceviche The prices were good as well.

    Mojito!!

    First - the view! The craft cocktails are superb...and the best ceviche I've ever had in my entire life! We also got the fish tacos...I cannot put into words how happy my mouth is right now!!! Do not miss this spot!!!

    First of all you are outside on a big deck with a thatched roof. They have bench seats for The long tables that can easily handle a party of ten and 4 seat tables with chairs. The benches are great for a crowd. Very laid back vibe with mellow Brazilian music in the background. Just got the shrimp taco appetizer and their twist on it was different than the run of the mill dime a dozen tacos. A nice change. I had the fillet (since I'm afraid of the bones on the whole fish). Tasty, light with a hint of spices letting the natural flavor of the fresh fillet come through. Add in the black beans and the roasted onions and you got a wonderful dinner. They have Mexican wines and an assortment of beers. But I choose to have water to enjoy the flavors of the food solo. Nice assortment of desserts but I'm a sucker for the fresh strawberry ice cream. If you're looking for a truly laid back place to enjoy a cocktail and a great meal this is a welcome new spot to town. Enjoy! Ps. I only give my wife and moms cooking 5 stars.

We had a view of the park across the street. The service level is spectacular. Everyone chips in to make things go smoothly. I couldn't turn around and check things out without a staff member asking if I needed something. Very attentive. The food was cooked to perfection. The soft shell crab tacos are fabulous!! Highly recommended. We used them as an appetizer. The octopus plate was outstanding. It was cooked as they say with love. It was not rubbery or tough.

    Hello, We hope you…read morewould 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.

We didn't see the option on the menu but our guide told us there is a big cooler and you can just pick out your fish to get it fried up fresh for you. Sure enough, there was a huge white cooler where we could sort through the fish options and pick one the right size for our family. It came with sides like beans, guac and tortillas, and all meals come with chips plus tomato and jalapeno salsas. We also ordered ceviche and the total price was less than $40 for a family of 4. More importantly, everything was super fresh and delicious! I wish I lived nearby so I could come back again - I would be a regular if I could!

It's easily my favorite seafood restaurant in Puerto Morelos - which is full of seafood restaurants. The bad part is that there is no ocean view and no air conditioning, you need a car or a taxi to get there and the staff speaks little English. The good part is that it is clearly a very popular local place - my party has always been the only obviously non-local group in a usually crowded place- and the seafood is amazingly fresh, perfectly prepared, served fast (considering it is made to order) and delicious. The portions are enormous. The price is reasonable. One can eat like a king for 15 to 25 dollars a person. My favorite is the octopus ceviche. The octopus is soft and fresh and perfectly cooked. Tossed with very fresh finely chopped onions, tomatoes and peppers in a lemon, chili and cilantro sauce that is not too spicy. The best ceviche I have had in Quintana Roo. A medium portion is a very ample appetizer for two people or a satisfying meal for one person. We generally follow up with the whole fried hogfish, around a pound of perfectly fried fish, very fresh, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, nicely salted. Served with a salad, a small portion of yellow rice and a really strong hot sauce on the side. The octopus escabeche and the shrimp with garlic sauce are also excellent choices. A cold Corona beer (or two) completes the meal.

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 started off with some water and cold drinks, a beer and a mango margarita, and ordered some guacamole to start with. By far, some of the best guacamole I've had and I was happy that they put all the topping in the bowl and allowed you to mix in how much you like - allowing me & my sister to both enjoy it as she likes cilantro, it taste like soap to me. The shrimp were a little over cooked for me but they were seasoned well (which that in itself was a plus). The calamari was not our favorite. It was severed with a tartar sauce and it lacked seasoning and was chewy. It was cut larger than what we are accustomed to so that may have also had something to do with the texture.
