I recently dined at this restaurant and was quite disappointed with the food and service. I ordered the shrimp coconut appetizer, but unfortunately, it was burnt and inedible, so we had to remove it from our bill. The whole fried pargo was decent, and my son’s fish chunks were okay, but nothing stood out.

The white rice was underwhelming, and the tostones were not enjoyable at all. It really shouldn’t be difficult to serve good basic items like rice and tostones. Additionally, I asked for mayonnaise, but they informed me they didn’t have any—quite surprising for a restaurant! They did offer spicy mayonnaise as an alternative, which was a bit unexpected.

We also experienced long waits for service, even with the restaurant being empty, taking about 10 to 15 minutes for the waitress to attend our table. Overall, I was disappointed and likely won’t return, as I felt it didn’t provide good value for the money spent. I hope they can make improvements in these areas for future guests.

Excellent service provided by Eugenia who was the one who attended our table and made us feel at home. The food was excellent too. Thanks to the entire team that made it possible for us to spend a birthday with family and super well cared for. I recommend the place for any occasion or simply to enjoy a very pleasant experience and be treated like family more than as a client. Thank you!!

A Hidden Gem for Seafood Lovers

During a recent visit to Cayo Esquivel Seafood with my mom, we discovered what might just be the best seafood spot in town. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that set the tone for an excellent dining experience.

The restaurant has a cozy, laid-back vibe, perfect for a casual yet satisfying meal. The decor subtly hints at the sea, enhancing the authenticity of the experience. While the space is not overly fancy, it’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable, making it ideal for family dinners or casual get-togethers with friends.
The service was fantastic. Our server, though I regret not remembering his name, was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure we were well taken care of, and our food arrived quickly and freshly prepared.

Now, let’s get to the real highlight – the food. Cayo Esquivel is no joke when it comes to serving high-quality seafood at a price that feels almost too good to be true.

Seafood Parrillada ($29.99) This dish is a must-try. For just under $30, you get an enormous platter of seafood, including two succulent lobster tails and a generous assortment of shrimp, fish, calamari, and more. Every bite was fresh and flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to perfection. It's so plentiful that it's easily sharable between two people. The value for this dish is unbeatable – seafood this good at this price is rare!

Their ceviches are another standout. The freshness of the fish, combined with the zing of citrus and the right amount of seasoning, makes this dish the perfect starter. It’s light, refreshing, and bursting with flavors, a testament to the quality of their seafood.

Cayo Esquivel proves that you don’t need to break the bank to enjoy quality seafood. The portion sizes are extremely generous, and the prices are shockingly affordable considering the variety and amount of seafood you get. It’s a fantastic value for anyone who loves seafood but is conscious of their budget.

If you’re a seafood lover and you haven’t visited Cayo Esquivel, you’re missing out. From the outstanding service to the incredible food and unbeatable prices, it’s a place I would recommend 100%. Whether you're craving fresh ceviche or an epic seafood feast like the parrillada, this restaurant delivers on every front. I’m definitely planning to return soon, and I can't wait to share this hidden gem with more friends and family.
