Best Latin food near Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Reviews on Latin food in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Puerto Morelos, a peaceful village on the Mayan Riviera, is a place to experience the genuine Yucatan. Puerto Morelos makes an excellent base if you’re looking for someplace quieter than glitzy hotspots like Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Government eco-reserve designations protect the reef and mangroves—and the village itself—from development. Outdoor options range from thrilling jungle and diving adventures to serene bike rides or moped explorations.

Although many of the cast of characters remain, the street performers, blocking traffic for several minutes while they spin on their heads. The beggars, one small lady who says a prayer for you. She has been in town for six years at least. The flower sellers. So entertainment was not lacking during out dinner. For $25 or 500 pesos a couple, an incredible meal and a filling one can be had, including a generous tip. Margaritas, white wine, beer, soft drinks. Our meal was an amazingly large Chile Rellano with rice and refried beans for her, I had their burger and fries. Let me say a few words about this, two, not patties, but hand made, real beef pieces of meat. Two thick slices of Cheddar, two layers of tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickle, on a six inch diameter bun. But the sight of it was the attraction, 7 inches tall. More than you might ever put your mouth around. I ended up using a knife and fork. The fries are hand cut, real potatoes. This was a 1960 throwback in taste. Was it good! If a burger is what sounds good to you, this is where to find it.

After snorkeling we asked a local fisherman where to get the best cerviche in town and here's where he sent us. It was a short, but sweaty walk from the main square, and in hindsight, we should have just walked along the beach from the main pier to find the tables along the sand. We had a huge plate of cerviche mixtos (conch, shrimp, fish and octopus) with guacamole (including the pit to prove it was just made). We saw whole fried fish that looked amazing, and there was an interesting michalada menu that included pineapple, tamarind or chili flavors. My daughter had steak queadillas and said they were amazing. It was nice to get away from the resort setting and have a meal with our feet in the sand, especially knowing most of our lunch had been swimming in the Caribbean the night before.

Just off the square next to the new Chedraui Supermarket. The empanadas are the best I've had anywhere (the Championes with mushrooms and cheese is amazing, as is the Carne). The steaks are what they are really known for ... prepared Uruguayan style. The people watching from the sidewalk tables is great (best after 8pm). Good service and reasonable prices for what you get. Get an empanada to-go for later!

Stopped here for dinner... although server was great the food was terrible and pretty bland. I had chicken enchiladas and the tomato base they were sitting in was tasteless. My husband ordered the Paella and it was basically a large pile of rice with a few pcs of assorted fish. Really not worth even writing about. We had started with the fried calamari which was tender but way over battered. After $700+ peso would of expected better based on other reviews. Would not recommend. If you are like me I want to enjoy and saviour every meal I eat.. this is not one of them.

I had the fish and cheese tacos, which to my delight were actually Grouper tacos. They were so delicious and my margarita was excellent too. Very basic seating outside wasn't the most comfortable, but I still enjoyed the ultra-casual vibe for lunch or dinner. Very friendly service too!

Our family of 7 visited El Pesquero while on vacation. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Portion sizes are huge and prices are affordable. Shrimp cocktail was amazing and I don't normally even like shrimp! Grilled grouper and civiche also did not dissapoint. It is outdoors in a nice covered, patio area with plastic chairs and your feet in the sand. There are fans and a nice breeze. Highly recommend.

A group of 24 (9 children included) of us ate here and were all very happy with the food and drink which was excellent. One of us try to pay for food all in one but had 2 separate cards rejected twice meaning a trip to the ATM and an unexpected 10% Mexican surcharge on the transaction.When we were about to leave there were just 2 left behind and were surrounded by about 5 staff who demanded an extra 50 dollars as we hadn't left enough tip, unbeknown to us and not advised, we got told we must leave a 10% tip. We worked it out and we were only short by 10 dollars, we gave that and left, it was a really disappointing and intimidating end to the night. We feel a tip should be indicated or given if we feel like giving.Don't hesitate to go here for food but please ensure you keep at least 10% back for a tip.Hi Jamwal 1974. As the operations manager I was there for your table and we thought you had a very nice evening as well thank you for that. I don't remember anybody 'demanding' a tip. We also only had 2 waiters and myself (Raul) working so I'm not sure who the other people who surrounded you were. I'm very sorry the Credit Card machine was malfunctioning that day it was a regional outage and we spent hours on the phone with the bank in the afternoon trying to fix it before dinner service.Of course we would ask you for full payment if you didn't pay us enough to cover the check, as would any business I know of. The check was approximately (more or less) $300 Euros and if you felt any dissapointment from the server staff for not receiving any tip for serving 24 people (including 9 children), I take full responsibility and will review your comments tonight with them.We would never DEMAND a tip. If we demanded tips and acted like that, we wouldn't have the extensive clientele we value so much. It is customary as servers often work as a second job to make money to provide for their family and/ or expenses. In Europe the server staff often makes as much as 5x the salary as they do in the Americas, but the service staff on this side of the Atlantic make their money with tips. 15%-20% is the most common range for good to great service, but 10% is not unheard of. Thank you for your comments and I will follow up with you in a private message.
