Dear Cancun Diner:
Hello and Welcome to Cancun, where the beautiful white beaches and gorgeous turquoise waters make for one of the prettiest places on Earth! Allow us to share something with you - we love good food! When we go on vacation we want to know “Where are the best places to eat?”. This is what inspired Cancun Menus and remains our goal to bring you the answers. We´ve had the pleasure of living in Cancun for many years and know which establishments consistently serve good food. We first began more than two decades ago, by conducting
Friendly Advice to our Readers
THE FACTS: There are over 400 restaurants in Cancun. This means there is “mucho” competition. Many, many people are paid to convince or persuade you, the tourist, to go to certain restaurants. You might hear things like: ‘That restaurant is no good, but I know one…’ ‘That restaurant is closed, but…’ or your driver may even say, “I’ve never heard of that restaurant!” THE TRUTH: The restaurants we feature in Cancun Menus are the favorites of many of us who live here. Should you have questions or concerns about any Cancun restaurants call us, we’ll be glad to hear from you. If you visit a restaurant not in our magazine but deserves our consideration, let us know that too!

an annual “Survey of Best Restaurants”. The scene has changed from time to time, some have changed names or cuisines, new places have been introduced, but our goal remains the same - to give you, the tourist, all the information needed to find your perfect dining experience. We love hearing from you & appreciate all the feedback we’ve received over the years. If you have any suggestions, recommendations or even complaints, let us know. We sincerely hope your visit to Cancun will be a wonderful, delicious experience!
For more information on all restaurants (including full menus, photos, coupons & reservations) go to www.cancunmenus.com For fast and easy reservations on your mobile device, go to www.cancunmenus.com PRICES: GOD only knows what the exchange rate will be by the time you’re reading this! All prices listed are in pesos, except where indicated. As we go to press in June 2017 the exchange rate is about $18 pesos to the dollar. Since many restaurants import their products, they adjust prices accordingly. Should exchange rates change considerably, you can expect the menu prices to change also. Peso prices may go up when the exchange rate is higher, but the cost in dollars remains the same.
¡Buen Provecho! Terry & Susan ‘Dos Gringos’
ANOTHER PIECE OF ADVICE: In Mexico it is considered rude to bring the check before you ask. So when you are ready for it, just tell your waiter, “La cuenta por favor”. MENTION CANCUN MENUS or DOS GRINGOS when you visit these restaurants or fill out your comment card. It will help us continue to provide this service for you. Muchas Gacias!

For 40 years the Pezzotti family has welcomed guests to this lovely home with its lush garden, where dining under the stars adds to the allure of twinkling lights in the trees and candle-lit tables. Sooo romantic, it’s no wonder visitors keep returning year after year. Soothing atmosphere filled with reproduced Mayan artifacts and artwork, a fountain, a fish tank and more. Always a favorite, absolutely worth the trip to town - you’ll just love it! Say “LAH-b’CHWEH-lah”.

If you have been to Cambalache or Puerto Madero and loved it – you will love Bandoneon too! This ‘metro’ version of these famous restaurants conveys a classy cosmopolitan ambience. The decor is accented with two-story ceilings and 2 huge floor-to-ceiling circular wine racks, housing over 600 bottles each. The attractive open kitchen displays its special flavor-enhancing grill and these people know how to use it! Downtown prices are less, off-setting transportation cost.

Igniting passion among patrons, it’s no wonder locals and tourists both flock here. The water-side building is a tribute to the restored Puerto Madero of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and perfectly balances the use of dark woods, brick & glass. The charcoal grill enhances the unique flavor of Prime meats and a variety of seafood. Classy ambience with a yacht club atmosphere. Super service & lovely views from the terrace make for a fine dining experience.

Located on the southern part of the island, Navio’s is a casual, pleasant escape from the commercialism of Cancun. Situated in a virtually undeveloped part of the lagoon, providing a perfect setting for a delicious lunch or dinner. The palapa-topped main dining area is on the water and the pier has four private ‘huts’ over the water for a unique dining experience. Open air, beautiful sunsets, live music (Thur.&Fri.) and candlelights after dark - oh so tropical and romantic!

The main hall has giant portholes, masts hung from the ceiling and of course A/C.

So very relaxing and casual - you can just kick back on the sandy beach and enjoy fresh local seafood in a natural setting. Located behind ‘El Fish Fritanga Taco Bar’ and down next to the lagoon, it’s easy to miss if you don’t know it’s there. With lovely views, friendly service, marina access (they can cook your catch), childrens play area, modest prices, it’s the kind of place everyone will enjoy! Go check it out for lunch or dinner. They also do takeout and delivery.
