We love seafood, especially Mexican seafood and this place appeared to have good reviews so we…read moretried it out. I didn't think the food was all that good, and I thought it was expensive for what it was, especially in Mexico. This caused some reflection on my part given the apparent good reviews here on yelp. I think I figured it out. If you sort the reviews by a new newest first, the most recent review is more than a year old. This is my attempt to perhaps help others looking for a good seafood restaurant in Cancun that is not a tourist trap. BTW, this again is in a residential area and the only way to park here is to utilize their valet parking, which was reasonably priced. The best part of my experience was the fish swimming around outside.

The drinks we got - margarita in the rocks and passion fruit margarita made with rum - was tasty however $16 a drink seems on the high side. We ordered the mixed fajitas that came with chicken, steak and shrimp. Was slightly disappointed as the meat itself lacked seasoning however maybe you are suppose to slather it in the salsa?

If you want beautiful…read morescenery, high quality seafood, and a less-touristy atmosphere in the hotel zone, check this place out! Waiters speak Spanish and English, are very friendly, and absolutely no wait for the waterfront table. The shrimp ceviche had so many shrimp with a tasty sweet sauce and avocado garnish. Guacamole was perfectly prepared, and all meals come with tortilla chips and a variety of salsas on a decorative boat tray. The tuna steak and Salmon with Lime Sauce were prepared perfectly and were both tasty and high quality. Sadly, the food was so delicious and filling we had no room to try the desserts. About a block away from the Isla Mall, but a much more authentic experience than the mall restaurants. A must-try dinner spot for seafood lovers in the Cancun hotel zone.

The wine selection is superb. And by the way did I mention desserts? They were absolutely fantastic as well. There are many restaurants in Cancun near to the touristy areas. In my opinion, most of these are expensive and bad. This is off the beaten track, but well worth the effort. We had a car so it was easy for us to arrive. They did offer valet parking for 50 pesos. I thought that worked well and was worth the money as this is kind of in a residential area with limited parking.

It's definitely on the more upscale side of things and most of the menu is in Spanish and service was all in Spanish but you should be able to get what you want. The ambiance is a slightly dimly lit bar and the food prices are definitely higher than most places here but it's worth it. Tostada de atun (Tuna Tostada): 10/10 Very good fish. Has a very steak-like texturre and delicious. Quesadilla langosta (Lobster Quesadilla): 10/10 Lovely! My friend ordered it and it was fantastic. Price is fairly high since it's more upscale but was creamy and meaty. Raviolli Langosta (Lobster Ravioli): My friend ordered 4 Tacos but since most of them had shrimp and I'm allergic I didn't have those, but it was good according to them. Overall, lovely place, food was good and highly recommended!

The menu was all in Spanish but the manager was nice enough to translate it for us. Some of us order off the menu...the rest shared in their fresh caught fish. They sell the fish by the kg and we were able to decide how we wanted each filet prepared. We decided to get one tempura, one garlic butter (my personal favorite) , one whole fish fried, and one other way which I forget. They even made a soup out of the head and tail left over from the filets. The best part was the price. It was surprisingly affordable. And came out to less than $10 per person even with drinks etc. This place is great when you want something delicious and not touristy. What a great treat.
