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.

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 staff seemed friendly, but when it comes to pricing, you really need to be careful.

We ordered snow crab as well, but it was severely overcooked and dry. We barely touched it, yet the restaurant refused to remove it from the bill.

It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.

Where to start. The food is always fresh and expertly prepared. The staff is attentive and professional. I have dined here 6 times in the last year and am yet to be disappointed with any aspect of the experience. This is a great place to visit if you want to get out of the hustle of the hotel racket. As a side note, some from the states believe that tipping in Mexico is somehow different than in the states. The tip (or propina) is not included in the bill here and if you were happy with your experience, then 20% is appropriate for these hard working folks. read more

She made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home from the moment we arrived. Lyss had a complete and accurate understanding of the menu, listened carefully to our allergy concerns, and helped us find great options and compromises so we could enjoy a wonderful meal safely and comfortably. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our visit memorable. I would absolutely return to Pescaditos, not only for the outstanding seafood, but also in the hope that Lyss can be our server again. Highly recommend

This would never fly in a normal business setting: - NO PRICES, not even incorrectly written or changed - YOU SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW how much anything you are ordering costs! And let me tell you - $40 for guac and chips; $40 for ceviche; $25 for a very small serving of cheesecake. - the fish is sold by weight (even though they prepare it), so you don't actually know how much you will pay for your order in terms of money per unit of food. Now, we had a great server, very attentive and kind. His name was Vlad. I couldn't be happier with his attitude towards us. We also truly enjoyed everything we ordered (chocolate clams were SUPER FRIESH and large; blue fin and hamachi sashimi were outstanding, and even guacamole and chips were above average. I must say - the cheesecake, too, was fantastic. The view and the atmosphere were lovely as well. And had we known the prices, and not were surprised by a $300 USD tab (yes, the server requests for you to add a tip on top of the bill), I would still eat there, but knowingly. And I must say - I'd enjoy my food even more, most likely. P.S. we didn't have any drinks, not even water (we weren't offered any). We didn't have alcohol. Our order was: 12 chocolate clams; 6 pieces of blue fin; 3 pieces of hamachi; 6 prawns; 1 guacamole with shrimp; 1 ceviche; 1 order of cheesecake. Total: $5987 pesos
