Absolutely recommend this place my friend took us for a dinner night and the fish was out the work specially the girls felt. Also ordered the cardamom fish taco which it was Devine. My friend order the cauliflower Parmesan and it was a lovely fish if you in that area this restaurant is highly recommended Great service and great food and the vibe is just right read more

Wow! This was a disaster of a night. We got there and ordered salads appetizers and main dishes. Several tables around us filled up and were served and left and we hadn't even received our salads or appetizers. Carlos dropped off small plastic bottles of water wo ice or glasses but I noticed all the people around us got larger bottles of water with glasses with ice and a straw. Several parties got up and left because they hadn't even seen a server. An hour later they start bringing everything at once the salads appetizers and main dishes. No apologies, no explanations. When we asked for something like ice it felt like an imposition. I get if a restaurant is understaffed but when people who come in after are served appetizers a main dish and their check before you get a salad... Unbelievable. Maybe anti American?? Anti tourist?Who knows. I'm just saying... read more

Found this place on a stroll out of the Hotel and was the best decision we made. We had the Mahi Mahi tacos and chicken tacos and they were both amazing!! Staff was very kind, informative and funny. Excellent place to experience with the great atmosphere by the water and had a calming saxophone playing live while we were there. read more

Stopped by for a quick drink and appetizer. The spicy margarita was excellent, with the bartender adding a fresh pepper straight from a potted plant on the bar. The octopus was grilled right in front of us and was both fresh and delicious. I only wish we had more time to enjoy another visit. I highly recommend a visit! read more

We've gone to restaurant after restaurant here, because, well, that's our thing. And with only one other exception, this is the only place that really walks as it talks. Great seafood. Excellent drinks. Attentive, polite service. Interesting atmosphere. Real Caribbean style. Decent value. This joint ticks off box after box. It's so unusual, especially in a resort area, to find an eatery that cares about the quality of what they put in front of you. The shrimp tacos were perfect in every detail, from the sweet tortillas to the properly deveined and gently cooked shrimp, in a delicious crema. The grilled corn was satisfyingly sweet and roasty, and the octopus was treated exquisitely and grilled perfectly over a wood fire, served with a rustic chimichuri and perfect mashed yams. The margaritas were strong and served with a Tajin rim, as they ought to be. The beer was actually cold. The setting, next to the busy marina, with boats coming and going, the sounds of the jungle birds crying at sunset, and the warm salt breeze seasoning everything... Yeah, you should eat here. I would fly down here just to eat here. Not kidding. It's that good. And they don't even try to trick you or gouge you in the traditional Yucatán fashion. I can't recommend this enough. Cure your tourist blues here, Yankee Doodle. Thank me later. read more

Mi novio y yo fuimos a La Caleta cuando llegamos. La primera vez que fuimos los dos ordenamos el ceviche mixto y ceviche verde pero no le tome fotos todo estuvo de maravilla el ambiente y los trabajadores eran personas amables. My boyfriend and I went here 2 times during our trip the first night we had 2 different ceviche meals, the mixed one and the green one. Everything was amazing including the workers. The second time we went we had shrimp and streak with cauliflower and a side of a salad. We ordered grilled corn on the cob as well as a fried fish known as huachinango with smashed sweet potatoes read more

This was by far some of the best seafood I have ever had! I will definitely be hitting this place up the next time we are in town. The food was not overly complicated, but the flavors were amazing! Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know everyone has already talked about the grilled octopus. But I don't care, I am going to talk about that grilled octopus. It was grilled to perfection, with a lovely woody/grilled taste.Completely tender, melting in my mouth. But was totally incredible about the meal was the fact I got to have mashed potatoes with them. Total win win for me as most seafood places do not serve mash potatoes with the dish and I love mash potatoes. You also had the option of getting mashed sweet potatoes as well with the dish. The ceviche, which was a diet staple while I in Mexico, was very tasty. My only complaint would be I could have had a much bigger serving. I am blaming The Pub (see review) for that as they spoiled me with their ginormous servings of ceviche. Truth be told, the serving size was standard, I just wanted more. There was an this octopus cheese empanada that we ordered for an appetizer. First time I have ever had that combination and it was very good. The pastry was nice and flaky. The Doctor got the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes. I had a taste and it was good Not sure I would order it. While it was delicious, it is hard to do chicken with all of that grilled seafood calling out to you from the grilled. The Queen and one of our friends got the grilled lobster. Price was based on size. Again it was prepared to perfection. These guys know what they are doing when it comes to grilling and they do it well. I guess they also cook up a mean breakfast, according to my friends. Will have to check it out next time. If you are in this part of the country, get thee to La Caleta and eat some grilled food pronto. read more

Location - Nice location in the marina here in the plaza next to the dock. Parking - I got lucky and found parking right away, but looks like it can be hard to find on the weekends. Venue - Cool little spot almost like a hidden gem. They check temperature and make you sanitize as entering. Mosquitoes - Make sure you spray bug repellent as we got bit a lot not knowing it. Food - Great food with that authentic taste, squid was good but not as from what we had experienced at other places on the trip. Cost - Cost is low and portions are good. Drinks - Pretty stiff and good drinks. Service - Great service and nice employees. Overall all cool spot and worth checking out. read more

Estábamos de visita desde Ohio y elegimos La Caleta en base a las increíbles críticas. No nos decepcionó en absoluto. El personal era acogedor y amable. La cerveza estaba helada. Pedimos la sopa de mariscos, el pescado empanado, el carpaccio de pulpo, los aros de cebolla y los tacos de camarones. Todo salió caliente y estaba delicioso. Si estás de visita, ¡necesitas hacer de La Caleta una prioridad! We were visiting from Ohio and we chose La Caleta based on the amazing reviews. We were not disappointed at all.

LOVE this place. Beautifully positioned along the water. The service was very attentive and the food was DELICIOUS!

Our family considers La Caleta to to, hands-down, the best dinner spot we visited during our quick getaway to Puerto Aventuras Mexico. You won't find it on the "main drag" of restaurants and shops that circles the dolphin sanctuary. And depending on where you're staying, it might be a golf cart ride away. Definitely find some trusty Wi-Fi and find it on your map. Trust us, it's worth it. Much like the rest of the restaurants in the resort, all the dining tables are outside. La Caleta has a huge wood burning stove just off to the side of the dining area that they use to cook many of the dishes they serve and it smelled amazing. The smell of that oven literally pulled us into the restaurant. La Caleta is touted as a seafood restaurant. One thing you must try is their ceviche. It is the tartest tangiest ceviche I've ever eaten! Both males in the family ordered it, and I just had a few bites. But man, oh, man! That's a flavor that I'll remember for years to come! Service was fantastic, as we'd come to expect in the resort. Loved noticing that pretty much every other patron was clearly a regular there. You could definitely tell just by the comfortableness with which they spoke. The night we were there, we were the only folks there speaking English, which made us feel like we'd made the perfect choice for dinner. Definitely the best part of our visit to La Caleta was when a local man walked up to to the server and cook carrying a large five gallon bucket with two huge fish in it. They started talking and pulled the fish out to be inspected. They carefully looked the fish over and talked some more before the guy handed the bucket over to the cook. Then the server handed that guy some cash. We realized we just witnessed a transaction that was going to be someone's incredibly fresh seafood dinner! That is something we never see in the States, and not just because we live in landlocked Indiana! read more

The food was good, and the atmosphere was really cool out on the docks, but it was overpriced.

Great place for dinner for the family. The ambience is nice and the servers are very friendly. Our waiter suggested the Tbone and it was the best I've had in a long time. Tender and flavorful and the grilled vegetables were excellent with it. Best pins colada too. We recommend making this one of your meals while staying in Puerto Aventuras. read more

I've only had the grilled octopus which was very savory and cooked just right. Very generous with their portions. I had most of our group taste a bite and everyone enjoyed it as well. The margaritas were strong and refreshing. Our servers were quite friendly and attentive as well. The ambiance was very relaxed and appropriate for a real vacation free of worrying about if you've dressed appropriate or not. read more

We have had a home in Puerto for 14 years yet only now are trying some of the restaurants for dinner (sometimes hard to beat delicious home cooking with fresh fish overlooking the water). And the restaurants just didn't seem seem that appetizing. That has now changed and La Caleta is one of the winners. Go ahead and read the rave reviews of the grilled octopus. I could wax on right here about how delicious it was however others have already shared their experience. And I say "absolutely right". It was that good and that perfect. We also had the marrow bones as an appetizer although they were delicious and filling enough to have been a main course. The snapper was fresh, although a bit dry yet still delicious. The servers could not have been more pleasant and attentive. And since I am a grill person myself, the smell of the wood brings you in and keeps you company the entire meal. So the other reviews are on target: out of the way, quiet, wonderful menu and food, great value in a restaurant that could hold its place almost anywhere. Well worth a visit. read more

My red snapper fish tacos were absolutely divine and the atmosphere late at night had an awesome subtle local private feeling. A cold Corona with lime and fresh guacamole were on time after a long day of travel! The chips and salsas aren't record breaking, but being in transition to Mexican fare will take a few days. I like spicy and thin chips myself, but I'm just one person. The smell of the wood burning oven is so memorable and I'll be back soon for sure. Don't pass up this place during your time in Puerto! read more

Awesome seafood. Had a fried fish. I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture!! We got a big fish to share, my husband and I. It wasn't enough! If your fresh obsessed yes you will love this place! The fish came with fries and salad. I would have preferred rice and beans but I guess that's more Cuban style. My daughter had ribs. They were ok but pale in comparison to the fish! I'll be back! read more

This place has the most unique food for Puerto Aventuras that we tried, with the wood fired grill. The grilled octopus and half chicken were the best meals my family of 8 were served there. A couple of us got the fish of the day Mahi Mahi, and it was good as well. The servers were very friendly and polite, but were very overworked. We had people ordering their second drinks before some at the table got their first. With that said, the drinks are fresh and very good. If you don't mind a little bit of a wait, this restaurant is very much worth the visit. read more

One of the most unique dining experiences that we have had in Puerta Adventuras! We went for happy hour and had margaritas, pina coladas, and strawberry daiquiris - all of which were made with fresh fruit and tasted exactly as you would expect them to. Our group shared the "Choripan" which was an Argentinian sausage sandwich served with chimichurri sauce and tons of fresh veggies. The sausage and bread were grilled on an outdoor grill and the smell was simply intoxicating. We stopped for happy hour, but will be back to try out their fish tacos and other items before the end of our trip. Update 6/9/17: Went back for lunch time fish tacos and cocktails and was again very happy with our choices. Would strongly recommend this place to everyone! read more

This place is known for there two types of ceviches. Black and Green ceviche. Black being soy and ginger based, green cilantro based. I've always had green ceviche, so it was time for there black. I also ordered the Tostada Pulpo as Mexico has so many octopi they can stand to put one on that I really enjoyed the tostada and cerveza, but seeing other food items pass by me, I wanted more and more. read more

With all of the restaurants in the area, we came and left. No menu unless you access it on your phone. Order a beer and you get the bottle. No chilled glasses. We have been here for a week. High prices without an exceptional menu read more

This was, without hesitation or reservation, the best meal we had in Puerto Aventuras. I am going to go ahead and count this as the most perfectly prepared and plentiful plate of grilled octopus I have ever consumed. These dudes are grill masters -- they cook over a wood grill, for Pete's sake -- and have access to fresh -- and I mean REAL fresh -- proteins. Important: bring cash. They don't except cards of any flavor. But definitely hit an ATM and take a walk down to La Caleta, for sure. read more

A great spot to grab a bite whether you want something quick or to sit down and enjoy your evening. The Ceviche was fantastic as was the Guacamole. We also really enjoyed the Tacos, they're a bit different than the "traditional" tacos you'd expect. Pretty good value for 2. Free chips and Salsa. Also had Guacamole, Ceviche and 6 tacos and 4 beers for 720 Pesos; about 40 bucks. Definitely plan on returning, service was great also. read more

I just happened to stop into this spot and as luck would have it, met the owner. We chatted briefly and he's a super nice guy. The food here is absolutely top notch. The fish tacos are the best I've ever had. Simple, fresh and well-accompanied. But the real hot ticket is the oven cooked/smoked fish. They use a hardwood oven that made me want to import the wood just to cook with it at my house... and I do a lot of smoked meat at my house. Highly recommended!!! read more
