Located towards the end of the beach. This restaurant was right next to our room. If you're looking to feel the ocean breeze and be close to the shore, this is your place. They also had fans all around in case the temperature picks up. Before dining, the server always ask if we had any food allergies. This restaurant specializes in seafood. While we're waiting for our food, each table was served chips and guac. The chips were super crispy. I wish they also had salsa to go with it - maybe I should have asked. They have a bar that serves cocktails, beer, wine, and alcohol free drinks. The sergeant pepper cocktail was not spicy, and a little bland. I enjoyed my rose lemonade, which was a nice change from all the water and orange juice I've been drinking. The top seller is the booster zhot; it's octopus with their house recipe cocktail sauce. It was super flavorful - I highly recommend it. As for the food, I really liked my baja tacos. There was a nice batter around the fish. The chipotle dressing did the trick. We enjoyed the tasty fish from the tulum tostada. Overall, gorgeous view, good drinks, and delicious food.
Habaneros is located in Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun. We were staying at the Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun for a friends wedding and this is one of the places we could dine in. This restaurant is right by the beach and there are beautiful views. We came back here a couple of times during our stay. We had tacos, chips and guacamole, and other dishes. Food was very good. Service was wonderful.
Habaneros at Hyatt Ziva was our FAVORITE!! We visited in December. Habaneros was staged at the Mercado patio, nearby pool area. We had lunch here EVERYDAY. The fish tacos, ceviche, all other tacos and small plates were all to our liking. Flavors and presentation was beautiful. The hostess, waiters and cooks were friendly and attentive! It's been a while since our experience but I did jot down some names of those who made our experience so great! Robert and Carlos were there everyday we were! Kept the margaritas flowing and checked on us frequently! Looking forward to our next trip at Ziva!
If you don't eat anywhere else, eat here! This place is amazing. My friends and I ate here for most lunches of our trip and we still wanted more before we left. I basically tried everything on the menu over the course of our 8 days, so instead of recapping every dish, I will share my highlights and recommendations: Fish Ceviche: Fish marinated in lemon with pico de gallo, cucumber & chili mayonnaise - so fresh and delicious, and the sauce is incredible with the perfect blend of spice and flavor to offset the fish. I ordered this every single time. Flank steak Tacos: Marinated accompanied with caramelized onion - I tried every taco here and these are by far my favorite. Fried fish: Fresh Mojarra fish - if you aren't scared of eating a whole fish, this one's for you. I ordered it after seeing another table with this dish on my first visit and am so glad I did. It's probably the best dish here. Very simple, but excellently seasoned and cooked golden brown and to perfection. Deviled shrimps: Creamy sauce with a touch of chipotle - again, if you aren't scared of eating seafood in its natural form, this is another dish for you! The shrimp are a great size and come with shelled and with the head. Suck on the head a bit and make sure you eat all the delicious sauce that's covering the shrimp. Quite delicious! PRO TIP: Let the server surprise you with some of their specialty margaritas. Enjoy!!!
Note: this place is only available to Hyatt Ziva resort guests!! My family came here for lunch almost every day and we have 0 regrets. I absolutely LOVED the tostadas. They were SO FREAKING GOOD. I wish I could come back here and have some any time.
For Hyatt Ziva members/ or day pass holders only: 10/10!!!! You HAVE to come here for lunch if you're staying because not only is the atmosphere, aesthetics and drinks delicious but the food was really good too. The bar has a couple swings too,which is so fun but also my favourite margarita options were from this area. I had the aguachile here which was super yummy, as well as the Tuna tosatadas which I have to say we're on 2 toastadas but large! The others had tacos, my partner enjoyed the steak and chicken ones. You really can't beat the view though, it's literally on the beach and so convenient. I cannot wait to come back here and eat more fresh seafood and listen to the waves. - Food guide & content creator IG @ SpicyAivy
The best!!! When you are in the crazy heat and want that ceviche all day, you come here! Comfortable, cool, breezy seating. It's outdoor and it's covered. You can also sit inside but it's still have that indoor/outdoor patio thing. So you feel pretty good. Employees have masks on! The menu is simple. All things ceviche- ( Total 7 or 8) , tacos and then some. I came mainly for ceviche's so I ordered all the ceviche on the menu. Some were great, some were a ok. My favorite was aguachilles and the halibut. Get their inhouse habaneros salsa. it is SO hot! They were hesitant to give me second round of it but it was amazing. I also tried their tacos. Tacos were good, I was a little too full. Drinks were strong. And the best part is that you are on the beach seating. Sand between your toes, nice shade and chairs. It was pretty fun. That habaneros salsa is amazing enough to return.
i love this place! i came like almost every day for lunch during the week i stayed here. the dress code is dry casual but if you don't have a cover up, they let you sit at the tables in the sand. i especially loved their ceviche rosarito, habanero, and baja fish tacos. the only thing is the fish they use for their ceviche is a hit or miss. sometimes it was really good but other times it was chewy. they also serve delicious drinks here. my favorite was the hibiscus ginger margarita.
Opens for lunch at 1pm. Dry casual dress code. If you're looking for some bites along the beach, this is your place! What we ate: Starters: - Vuelve a la vida (Octopus, shrimp, scallops & cocktail sauce): I think the sauce was a little too sweet. However, the avocado slices were a good touch, and I enjoyed all the seafood! - Aguachile (Butterfly cut shrimp with lime, cucumber & habanero chili sauce mixed with cucumber & red onions): Surprise - comes with slices of avocado! I didn't like the sauce (because I don't like cucumber), but I ate the avocado! Tacos: 3 per order - taco cris (Shrimp, cheese, green sauce & refried beans, pico de gallo): I enjoyed these tacos, but I figured I would because I love shrimp and cheese! - chicken tinga (Shredded chicken with tomato & chipotle chili sauce, with cheese and sour cream): These tacos were good too! Just not as good as taco cris in my opinion :P
My boyfriend and I went to this little outdoor restaurant while waiting for our room to be cleaned after checking in. All employees are wearing masks and gloves. Customers are only asked to wear masks when entering. This restaurant has a great view since it's right on the beach and has a bar area with swings! Very Instagram worthy! The drinks were phenomenal, but, the food was mediocre at best. We ordered beef tacos and ceviche. We were provided with chips and salsa/guacamole to start off with. The guacamole was disappointing and I was expecting it to be much better in Mexico than in California. The taco shells tasted kind of bland and the beef was pretty chewy. The ceviche tasted just ok as well. I give this restaurant 3 stars due to their mediocre tasting food. I'll only come to this place for the bar drinks and the swings.
My fam and I had lunch at Habaneros and it was absolute perfection on a beach day. I have a seafood allergy and still enjoyed my meal despite the slightly limited options. To start, the hut is very nicely located right on the beach, so we had a lovely view of the water literally just a couple yards away. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant; I really felt like I was on vacation mode. Our "table bread" was chips with two salsas and guacamole. This was spectacular. The tortilla chips were unmatched to what I've had here in the U.S. Even though most menu items were seafood, the waiters and kitchen did not let any of my items get cross contaminated. I ordered a Zucchini Tiradito and the skirt steak tacos. The zucchini tiradito was gorgeously presented and incredibly flavorful. It was bright from the citrus, tangy, and had a slight kick from the chili. My skirt steak tacos were the best I've had and I don't think I'll have anything like them again. My family got the Habanero and Fish Ceviche for appetizers. Their entrees were the Day's Catch and Fish Filet Tikin Xic. They must have been truly delicious because they did not stop raving about their meal after we ate there. We wanted to eat there again but decided not to because there were only two non-seafood entrees. I'd give it 5 stars if there was more variety! Nevertheless, you definitely have to eat at Habanero's at least once during your stay at Hyatt Ziva, it will be an unforgettable experience, trust me.
Located at the edge of the property by the beach. It is the go to spot for seafood. This was located right next to our room so we went here pretty often. While we were waiting for our food, they always brought over guac and chips. The ambiance is nice. I'd say it's the nicest out of all the restaurants because it is literally right by the sand and you could easily throw your cup into the water from where you sit (don't do this lol) They have a bar that serves everything (beer, cocktails, wine, alcohol free beverages, etc). The servers are all nice and helpful. The food is what highlights this place. Very VERY delicious fish and seafood. They have oyster shooters too. Don't be afraid to order multiple different dishes all at once. I did that with my party and we have no regrets. We ate it all!! Highly recommend :) read more

Exceptional seafood, delicious drinks, and top-tier service! We tried the snapper fish platter, fish tacos, and they were hands-down amazing, paired with perfectly blended mango margaritas and piña coladas. The kids' meals were fantastic as well, making it a hit for the whole family. Our servers (Nagai specifically) were warm, attentive, and took great care of us throughout. We will definitely be returning soon! From the hospitality to the food, our entire family had a fantastic experience here. read more

First time at Hyatt Ziva and I must say this restaurant is my favourite on the resort. They serve the best seafood and cocktails. Must try their ceviches. Very fresh. They have the best margaritas as well. They use fresh ingredients like passion fruit! The waiters provide the best service and always enjoyable. They gave us tequila and mezcal shots and were insistent guests enjoy their time. Love the energy here. The resto is located right by the beach, so I can imagine them always having a great time. I've been to this restaurant three times already. You won't be disappointed. I'm definitely coming back to Ziva and to this resto. read more

This was right next to the private beach at Hyatt Ziva. It was so convenient, we just walked up from the beach. I would always imagined that restaurants at all inclusive would not provide the quality of food I expected. However, this place was quick and dishes tasted amazing. The guacamole dip was very tasty. We also ordered a few cerviche, they were very fresh. read more

Habaneros is awesome! This was the first restaurant that my friends and I decided to eat at when we arrived at the Hyatt Ziva! Located directly on the beach this place will give you a great view of the ocean while enjoying your food and drinks! Being that this is an all-inclusive resort I think that sometimes people just automatically assume that the food options will be just okay and nothing spectacular. This place didn't disappoint at all and I really enjoyed that everything I ordered when dining here was fresh! The staff who works here is awesome and very friendly! I love that they went above and beyond to make sure my friends and I were taken care of while being there. If you don't want a table seat and just prefer to grab something quick, going to the bar is your best option because the service is quick! Be sure to check out the cool swings they have for you to sit/swing on while drinking. Directly from the bar they also have some hammocks that are positioned out a little past the shore for you to relax in with your food. read more

We stay at Hyatt Ziva resort. I think the food is ok. The mushroom ceviche is awefully sour. The fish and steak tacos are good. The shrimp taco is so so. The drinks are really good. I would not go to this place if i have to pay read more

This is our favorite place ever. This hotel and this restaurant are beyond exceptional. This is our second time back and we eat here every day. Their traditional ceviche, octopus and chicken and al pastor tacos are the best. Our favorite cocktail is called "boil the water" and it's not too sweet or Citruses which is a nice change from margaritas. My fiancée has celiac disease and they have a million gluten free options and even for the items that are gluten free, the servers go and check to make sure they are ok to eat. The servers are amazing, drinks perfection and food is the best. We love the Habenero margarita, spicy cucumber margarita as well. read more
Ate here twice during our trip to Hyatt ziva 8/25-8/31. Service is good, food is delicious. My favorite is the ceviche and Baja shrimp tacos, wife loved her tacos as well. You can see large iguanas lounging behind the restaurant which is pretty cool, but my only qualm is the lack of cool air during the day and mosquitoes. We sat at the same table both trips here but mosquitoes weren't an issue our first day, we left rather abruptly our second trip due to mosquitoes attacking us and possibly our son. read more
