We were on a day trip to Isla Mujeres from our resort in Cancun when we were looking for a place to eat on the less touristy side of Isla Mujeres. We drove our golf cart through the area where Maria's is, and because of the reviews we saw, my friends and I decided to give this place a try for lunch. Right off the bat, the best part of eating/coming here is the view. The area is secluded and you need to go down a small path to get to it. Once you make it down the little path, you'll see a beautiful little outdoor dining area that overlooks a pool and the beautiful ocean. The food was probably a 2/5 but the view was very nice and the service was good too, so that brought the score up to 3/5. My friends and I were looking for good, authentic Mexican food, which unfortunately Maria's is not. While we were sitting down, the waiter brought us free chips and salsa which were good. For my lunch, I ordered 3 shrimp tacos which were not cheap (at all) and came with like 3 TINY shrimps per taco. The photos they have in their menu are very deceiving and inaccurate. The flavor was ok but it was so plain and so stingy on the shrimp. I was really surprised (in a bad way) with this meal. My friend tried the chicken tacos which were better than the shrimp, but still nothing special at all. The shrimp ceviche was also extremely lacking shrimp. Unfortunately I feel like the food we ate at Maria's was the same as the Mexican food I would eat at an average Mexican restaurant in my hometown in the Midwest USA. All in all, since the best thing here is the view and the service, maybe it would be better to stop by for a drink rather than a meal. read more

This is one of our favorite spots on the island. We came here two times during our 4-day stay on the island. During both trips the kitchen was a little slow, but it's only because they're making each dish fresh from scratch. On trip one we had the fish soup (sopa de mare), empanadas, and lobster. All items were delish! There were a few other couples in the restaurant enjoying the ocean view. The sopa de mare was so good we decided to head back on our last night for a second helping along with a few glasses of wine. It took the dish about an hour to come out (probably since we were the only people in the restaurant), but when it did it was accompanied by the chef himself. The chef apologized for the wait time but then chatted with us about food on the island and on how Maria's Kan Kin tries to put a new twist on the traditional island dishes (red snapper, grouper, etc.). I already liked Maria's Kan Kin based on its dishes alone but now I'm a super-fan after speaking with the chef and learned how they source locally (fishermen dock on the pier out front to provide the catch of the day), and try to put a new spin on the traditional island dishes! read more

A delightful, relaxing respite to enjoy a delicious beach-front meal. Lily made us feel right at home, so much so that we decided to come back again! Highly recommend a visit! read more

Excellent fresh seafood with a view that can't be beat. This restaurant is at a small hotel off the beaten path on the south end of the island. We were lucky enough to be staying at the hotel next door and decided to try the food here. The menu shows photos of some of the dishes. I have to admit that I didn't have very high expectations for this place. I ordered ceviche mixto and my dining companion had the fish sticks. You could taste the freshness. The waiter was very attentive. It is a charming nice restaurant in a very quiet neighborhood. read more

Awesome views and great beach access! Luis was an outstanding waiter and the food was great. Super accommodating staff! We will totally come back to visit. read more

Right on the beach, fresh seafood, off the beaten path, ridiculously friendly waiter. What more could you ask for from a restaurant in one of the most touristy areas in Mexico? If you're looking for a unique, memorable dining experience while on Isla Mujeres, be sure to hunt down Maria's Kan Kin. The dining room looks a bit run down from what I would imagine it looked like during its prime, but it's still a great little restaurant. I am so glad we stumbled upon this place. read more

Right on the beach! Its the most amazing so far on the island I have been to. This is my second tim to cancun. We ordered lobster, avocado toast, sopa de marisco. All absolutely wonderful! The food does take a while to be taken out however, where you enjoy everything around you, you hardly notice the time. In love with this place! Wish I had pics. Its a shame I don't. Next time, we won't leave our room without our phones. We didn't want to be bothered and it backfired. read more

The fish stew was amazing. Fresh and with lots of flavors. All the fish tasted cooked to perfection. Some had an almost buttery texture. The mixed salad was also very impressive. The avocado made everything have a wonderful texture and flavor. The service was excellent but the best part is the amazing view from the restaurant. With 3 piers and the water slowly wafting up to the beach. There was no wind in the restaurant making it very peaceful. Gorgeous view of Cancun and sitting under a thatch hut with colorful tables it is a very romantic setting. read more

We stopped for lunch. Shrimp kabobs and civiche were great, the fish tacos were bland. We wanted to hang out at their lovely beach for a bit, but the charge was 100 pesos each for that privilege. read more

Very hidden which makes it all the more interesting! Incredible view, very friendly staff and great food! We traveled on golf cart and figured we were completely lost until we found the entrance. You still had to follow a hidden pathway and then voila! Fantastic! My husband had the grouper and loved it, my shrimp brochettes were fantastic, fresh and delicious with that smoky grilled flavor. Would definitely fine here again. read more

Food is always amazing. We have dined here on many occasions over the years and are consistently impressed with the freshness and flavors of their dishes. I would suggest making sure you have pesos instead of american dollars before you dine because their exchange rate is not that good. read more
