Fish Fritanga is consistently one of our family's favorite restaurants to visit in Cancun. Our service this week, over 3 visits, has been excellent, with attention to detail on allergy avoidance and impeccably prepared food and beverages. We love their fish tacos.

The food and music were great. They had a mariachi band play us two songs and sang my daughter happy birthday. The seating arrangements were out doors on the sand but still the food was worth it. The price is good for the taste of the food.
Amazing casual surprise to taste real fresh sea food in a churuata with a wonderful beach environment while watching the Copa America and live music! Attention was superb and plate sizes very generous!

We enjoyed a wonderful evening here. The food is really very good as well as the service from Roger and all in a beautiful setting! The food is as good, or better, as we have had here in Cancun. For the price, you just can't do better.

Love the setting, right on the sand on the lagun side of the hotel zone. Not easy to find the entrance, unless you have been there before. My only two complaints are minor, but it's a pet peeve of mine. 1 I ordered the orange shrimp dish, which was delicious, only problem is that they butterfly the shrimp but don't take the shell off, which makes it difficult to eat. I know most place leave the tail shell on, but the whole shrimp? 2 my second issue is the exchange rate they offer on the bill, 15 peso per dollar, that's almost 2 pesos less than every where else. That's like a 15% mark up, so instead of $93.00 US, it was $105. Should have exchanged dollars to pesos before going.
For me this the best resturant in All Cancun. The food was great and the service was amazing, and the music was so refreshing. and the location is on a harbour close the water. and most importantly they don't include tips in the bill like all other resturants do in Cancun. No forcing tips but giving suggestions if you wanted to.I Highly recommended it. it will deserve every Penny.

Now this is what I call a great dining experience! Exactly what we were looking for while on vacation. First off, let me just say, the minute you walk into the restaurant you feel like Jimmy Buffet ( God rest his soul) would have performed here .  The food was outstanding. We started off with chips and an assortment of salsas . I had the governor tacos and my husband had the octopus tacos. Both were so tasty. Our server, Carlos , was very attentive . We were there for a couple of relaxing hours and never felt rushed . The prices are very reasonable. This should definitely be one of your go to places to eat.

The food was very good. I'd probably skip the chips and salsa like our Texas salsa better. Guacamole was great. The governors tacos with shrimp were so tasty and well as the shrimp tostadas. Waiter was very good so were the margaritas. Definitely will go back.
Our server brought out the wrong order for my entree. I immediately pointed this out, and he essentially refused to bring the correct order. When I insisted, he still refused, insisting that he'd get in trouble if he made the change. The whole incident left my wife and I very uncomfortable.
The place is really lovely with great views of marina and sunset. The fish tacos were delicious with the extra spicy sauce I ordered on the side. The oysters not to my tasting although large rather bland.
Everything was fabulous (guacamole, margaritas, music, atmosphere), then the entrees came out. The shrimp cocktail was just weird. A bowl of maroon sauce with a few shrimp floating around in it. The sauce was quite sweet, almost like maple syrup and cocktail sauce mixed together. But they did take it off the bill. The skirt steak was quite fatty, grisly, even for skirt steak. Fettuccine got ate well, as did shrimp ceviche.

Food and drinks were good. Went to the upstairs taco stand for lunch 4 out of 6 days. Good value. Ate dinner downstairs once. Meal was very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We had never found this special gem. Loved it so much we went back for our last meal in Cancun. The service was excellent. All of the waiters are very attentive and helpful. The tempura calamari are delicious. We dine at some of the best restaurants in Cancun and this is now one of new favorites!! A must for anyone who wants a great meal at a very good price. And the music was great too!
Our El Fish Fritanga visit was muy excellente! We were able to sample 3 dishes that we'd never had before, which is exciting in itself. Their specialty pescadillas with shark meat were as delicious as they were unique. While I've tried making Tichin Xic at home in suburban Ohio, it did not compare to this authentic, locally inspired dish. Lastly, we were intrigued by the pineapple Creme brûlée. Served in a hollowed out pineapple, T'was easily the most creative take on a classic we had seen. Oh, tasted phenomenal as well! They even snuck in an extra treat as we indicated were were celebrating an anniversary. Bienvedes gave us great service and we would suggest El Fish Fritanga to anyone. Gracias!

After a long day in the sun, this was a pleasant respite for a delightful dinner and music. Chips and salsa started the feast which were authentic. We had coconut shrimp which was moist, tender and delicious dunked in mango sauce. The chicken fajitas were the best I ever had!!!!! Leftovers the next day perfect. The service was exceptional and very attentive. Gracias!
