We decided to go all out for the spectacular lobster dinner I have never had lobster this delicious. it was baked with orange juice pineapple juice garlic paprika and the most amazing potato's. We sat directly in front of the ocean and enjoyed chilled tequila. The chocolate brownie cake was not necessary to complete the fabulous experience but it was worth every bite!

Hubbers and fam talked this place up a storm, so it was a must have during our visit to Merida. So…read morethat was the original plan: to visit their Merida location but having a spot at the Progreso Malecon just simply made it very convenient. Hubbers and I came through maybe a little over an hour before closing time so there were plenty of seats and tables to choose from. We were given menus and what I appreciated immediately is that our server asked if we much prefer an English menu. Hubbers said he was fine but I certainly can use one. (I would have been fine without it, but it sure made ordering faster and easier!) We (literally) wanted to order practically everything, but common sense kicked in and decided to get a few apps, then decide whether we want mains or not after. They gave complimentary crispy tortillas and biscuits. Thankful for my refreshing and delicious pina colada because all these comp'd goodies did is made my mouth dry. The lime and sauces didn't help at all. This might just be their ploy of making us order more drinks. (I'll admit it worked.) But you know: don't knock it 'til you try it. One by one apps were getting to our table. TUNA CARPACCIO: The plate had so many things going on yet very well put together. It was a busy plate, for sure, but the fish was the absolute star of the plate. The vege added texture to the bite and the flavor of the sauce/marinade had a good blend. Avocado added creaminess to each bite. HALF DOZEN OYSTERS: I am incredibly skeptical about having oysters outside of the US, but Hubbers assured me they're safe to eat here. They tasted fresh, sure, but I found it kind of bizarre that the size of the oyster is not commensurate to the size of the shells. Delicious, otherwise. FRIED OCTOPUS: Hubbers loves octopus, so this was a must-have. This was well prepped. The seasoning on the thin batter was perfect and the octopus was tender. This dish didn't last very long on the table. We practically gobbled it all up. We liked it so much we thought about putting in a second order. We opted against it in the end. PICANA PIZZA WITH CHIMICHURRI: Okay, so I decided to get a main since I had a craving for pizza. Never had a picana pizza before, so there was no better time to try it. I didn't know what to expect, but since this place isn't a pizza joint, I didn't expect much. The crust was so thick that a fifth of the pie was JUST crust. There were slices of picana which tasted great. The amount of cheese was not overwhelming and the little vege it had surprisingly cleansed my palate, albeit a little. But the biggest challenge to this pizza was that they didn't slice it through and through to separate them triangle-shaped goodies. I was full after one slice, so I asked them to pack the rest up to take out. Offf, their packaging was less than stellar. (They literally and carelessly stuffed everything in a container - one can tell they just didn't care. And they still didn't bother separating the slices.) Hubbers decided on steak which he couldn't finish either since the apps were filling, but we're lucky to have a small kitchen (fridge included) in our hotel and had that and the pizza for a second meal. Hubbers also opted for dessert. I took a small bite. It was alright. SIL and her husband joined us later and put in a couple of starters and drinks. Salmon carpaccio (forgot to take a picture) is delicious as well. FOOD: 4.5 SERVICE: 4.5. Friendly and attentive staff, they make up for the minor gaffes. VALUE: 3. Pricey, but fair, especially for the location. Expect to pay the equivalent of US/American prices. PARKING: Not sure if they have their own parking lot, but there may be street parking at the back. OVERALL: 4. I'd have to try the Merida location first before I'd come back here, but overall better than average first run.

This place was easy to find as we heard the game blaring from the inside. There was really no need for staff to sell the place to us, we were there to stay. Immediately ordered a pina colada because it was hot hot HOT. It took a minute for me to decide on a dish and while waiting, they served us comp'd tortilla chips. Good start. I eventually decided on the filete tikin-xic. Their version of fish and chips. It also included a side of white rice, greens and marinated red onions. VERDICT: Good, but has lots of room for improvement. The one thing I liked about it is that it was made to order. The downside of it is it was incredibly under seasoned. The fish tasted good, but it would have been better if they put a little more work on the batter. The rice, vege and onions were good palate cleansers. The fries tasted very plain, but had a mild crisp, so at least there was texture. FOOD: 3. SERVICE: 4. Staff was friendly, attentive and overall nice. VALUE: 3. PARKING: None. Located on the Malecon. OVERALL: 3.25. We stayed 'til the end of the game. We had a great time watching it along with all other patrons. Good first run.

It was flash fried, a light crispy crust, and very moist. It was served over a bed of mixed vegetables. My wife loved her filet. Perfectly cooked with a lot of flavor. Our waiter Rueben was great and provided excellent service. We met the owner as we left and she was very friendly. Best meal in Progreso.

My nieces frequent Chichi regularly and they like it. This is a seafood restaurant with extensive menu with meat and other options. If you're a vegan like me, you'r options are limited but not impossible. The bay windows open and if you're seated by them you have a grandiose view everything going on the boardwalk and the beach. If you didn't want to eat in the restaurant but wanted to eat on the beach under a Palapa - thatched umbrella dining table, and if there was space available, the Palapa it is. The service is slightly slow but for a Saturday afternoon it's expected with a full dining room. There are make shift box fans spread out in the dining area and each table is equipped with mosquito fan and a purse stand. As a vegan, I ordered the guacamole minus cheese and minus Chicharrones. The guacamole was fresh and the habanero salsa options at the table SLAP!! There were four options with the black one - fiery spicy but had a tremendous amount of flavor. Even though it's fiery spicy it's not overbearing for me. The rice and fried banana plate needed to be clarified before final ordering but I was told that there was not any animal products in my dish. The SOL cerveza was ice cold and was continually replenished. The rice and fried banana plate arrived and it was good not great but good. Everyone else's dishes and were plated with care. My nieces enjoyed their dishes as well. Can Chichi be a tourist trap ? Maybe but we were a party of 7 with apps, entrees, drinks, and deserts for $200. All in all it was a great Saturday lunch that left us full for the rest of the.
