30 Best Seafood Restaurants near Joaquin Zetina Gasca

“We made a quick stop before heading to the airport. We wanted one last seafood meal, I’m so glad I decided to stop at marinero may. Google maps was a little confused with the directions but one we made a right then another right according to th Google maps then the bldg was on the right hand side in blue. Also we noticed that although on Google it said it was open, they actually open at noon, and really don’t open the doors til opening time. The food though was very very good, exactly what I was hoping for, fresh fried fish .5 kilo (1 lb) for 350 pesos & it comes with rice & lime vinaigrette coleslaw we also ordered a mix ceviche for an appetizer, also very fresh seafood… I’m very pleased with the freshness of the seafood & service during our meal ??“

“A little hole in the Wall that offers the best fried fish in the area.A place for locals in the beautiful town of Puerto Morelos.Tourists are always welcome just need to be advice that this will be a local experience.Do not expect air conditioning and ceiling fans and fancy restaurant; do expect the best fried fish. Fresh caught the same day, never-frozen.“

“We met this Hamburguesa stand at a festival, we had to try it again and we didn't regret it! Very tasty hamburgers with pineapple and a piece of corn on the cob.Either to eat on site or to take away. We'd love to come by again (several times)!The family is also very nice and sweet!“

“We went on a Sunday at 16:15 and it was quite busy, for sure is a good idea to have a reservation. We asked for the tastings menu. For 100 dollars we tried 8 dishes. Personally the first three were my least favorites. Ingrid took care of us and she did an amazing job. Congrats !! She knows about service and she is super professional. We had a great time. Excelente choice if you are in Puerto Morelos.“

“Our favourite was the fried fish taco - it was perfect. We also tried the fried shrimp, Marlin and fish pibil which were good. We loved the maracuyá juice and the coco flan was good too. The server was nice and everything was fast. We usually favour cheaper taco places but this place had a nice experimental spin on things and it was worth the experience.“

“Highly recommended! It has been a pleasant surprise to find this place, the food was delicious, the service is very good and fast, they treated us very well, we tried the shrimp quesadillas and the catch of the day which by the way is local, everything incredible, don't stop coming , you won't regret it.“

“My family and I tried many seafood restaurants in Mexico, in various cities. But Los Koras had the best seafood cocktail we ate. I definitely recommend it. Also, if you are not a super fan of seafood, I would recommend the fish fillet too. It was a good portion and taste.“

“The breaded and deviled fish delicious and well served. They didn't have garlic mojo steak and it was on the menu that they couldn't prepare it. The shrimp with fries and breaded shrimp with fries. They weren't that good. It was too much potato and not enough shrimp.
The chairs were very uncomfortable.“

“The food was great, the prices are a bit high for the area, however. The service was definitely great as expected. The staff were very attentative as well. Unfortunately, they did not have good air circulation. The environment was simply too humid to enjoy such a large meal. The upside was the portion size and that the food quality was definitely high! I would recommend eating here if you are looking for authentic, quality Mexican sea food and aren't afraid to spend as much as you would in the States.“

“The restaurant is located in an excellent position, we chose a table overlooking the sea. Ideal location to admire the coast, and pleasantly ventilated.
The dishes chosen were all to our liking. Carlos accompanied us with extreme professionalism throughout the evening.

Excellent value for money. Recommended, I would go back!

We hope to find Carlos again!“

“I had three tacos. The octopus taco was great and flavorful; I wish I ordered two instead of one. The other two could have used more seasoning or spice: the tempura fish had too much batter and the cheesy shrimp could use a better tasting cheese. Staff was friendly.“

“Great ribs , so delicious and tender . The shrimps were well seasoned tender and a good size. Appetizer , we had nachos natural different then what is served in our country yet they were absolutely delicious and the portions are very generous. We will go again for sure ! You don’t need to always go to the port side for great food . The colonial side offers you very good restaurants but this one you MUST try. Bonne Appétit!“

“One of the best places to eat in Puerto Morelos!

Family atmosphere, comfortable music and delicious food and perfect portions (even a little big I would say). Santiago treated us with great hospitality and excellent recommendations.

Fish fingers are highly recommended as a menu option for the little ones, they let you swap the fries for rice and salad??.

The mixed aguachile is not spicy, but it has a delicious flavor and you can order tanned habanero to make it a spicy and delicious aguachile ??.

The seafood casserole is the tastiest I've ever tried! With great flavor of Veracruz.

Super recommended ??

Kid-friendliness: There is sand in a safe space for them to play while you eat. Also a little house that could use a little maintenance, I don't see it as safe for the little ones but it really isn't necessary for the children to entertain themselves with so much sand.“

“Truly a find, although we found it by chance, it was a great coincidence, the hut burger has a super deli flavor, my husband ordered a black aguachile and it was truly very delicious, I liked good cuisine and very good service from the guys they are very nice. If I come back, thank you!!! ?“

“Very good spot for ceviche, tacos, and other seafood fares. The atmosphere is bright in a huge open space, so I would definitely recommend this for a nice lunch in an air conditioned room to take a break from the heat. It's not my kind of place for dinner. It's located by the pool at Grand Mayan. The tacos were very good, but we still preferred the tacos at Green Break, though Limon y Sal is better if you want seafood tacos. The place was very quiet when we went, mostly empty. The Très Lèches was disappointing, with some kind of coffee taste we didn't want. It looked pretty though.

Wheelchair accessibility: Big spacious restaurant, tables are not crowded, so easier for wheelchair. Located on ground level, no stairs.“

“A fine-dine experience! From the perfect blend of food and flavors to impeccably crafted cocktails, every aspect of the culinary experience here is outstanding. The service and ambiance are top-notch, creating an atmosphere that complements the exquisite cuisine“

“Muelle once is one of the best resturants in Puerto Morelos. The Food quality is very good. Try their whole snapper fish grilled in the wood fired oven, one side seasoned with paprika, and the other with green herbs. Their creme brulee is also very good. They usually have quite romantic music, and it's right on the sea! If you are lucky, you may get a live singer too!“

“Order the tacos! It was soooo good. Beware though, the serving is big! Four people can share and it will still be more than enough.Burritos is average, same as the one outside Mexico. Overall vibe is good. Takes a while though for the food to be served.“

“I had been wanting to visit this place for a long time. It is a hidden but very nice restaurant on the seashore.
The food is very good and you will love whatever you order from the menu. The jaguar tacos, octopus tostadas and shrimp tacos with castakan are spectacular. The service is good and they are also pet friendly.
Great attention from the Chef. It has simply become one of my favorites. good prices“

“I went with some friends and although I know it's a place that specializes in seafood there are more and more people who don't eat meat or seafood and there are no options for us I had to order some nachos and a guacamole because it was my only option, I know Maybe we are not their market, but there is always the odd one at the table who doesn't eat meat or seafood, but who goes because it is a group outing, it would be good to think of some other option for us like a vegetarian ceviche, etc. ?“

“Very good cocktails and their fried rice just like in Alvarado. Highly recommended and everything super fresh.
Good service from the waitresses and the owners, attentive to anything that may be missing. Plus they don't sell alcohol and that makes it more pleasant to take the family.
The portion sizes are very large and one dish is more than enough for one person.“

“I love this area of MX, Porta Morelos for its simplicity, the fresh as you can get fish and shrimp and beachside service!

This area of MX beaches is one of my favorites. More laid back and quiet compared to Cancun or Playa del Carmen. A cozy little town with great places to eat, drink or chill on the beach. BTW if you're ever here during Dec. they have a really nice Christmas Market in the center of town.

Cayuse is my favorite place to eat and hang out for the day of all of Porta Morelos. It is a outdoor sandy floor bar and restaurant with great views of the ocean.

The staff are fantastic. Friendly, quick and helpful when trying to decide on what to eat. Even the cooks in the kitchen were hilarious making the day fun making cat noises, we loved it.

We had the fresh caught snapper fried, cooked to perfection! Served with picante, rice, beans and tortillas. Delicious.

The Ceviche was perfect as well, I love the lime and pepper version and this one did not disappoint.

The chicken burrito was huge and delicious, I so love when the wrap has a little crust/char on it. Stuffed with tons of chicken, not a bunch of filler.

Something to know as well, you can book snorkeling trips right at the restaurant, ask for Christian, fantastic guide, safe and very professional. Knew his stuff too, we saw turtles, sharks, rays, pompano, amazing to see all these and more in one snorkel day.

Will I come back here? Oh yes, this is my sooo Go To anytime while in Porta.

There is some parking inside the restaurant wall, more on the street and a lot next door that sometimes is open for parking.“

“Deliciously simple! Highly recommend ?

Had dinner here with my family. We had a variety of dishes (tacos, empanadas, quesadilla) and all was very tasty.
The service was kind and friendly , and the price was good. Would come again if ever were back in town.“

“A nice place to enjoy with family and friends.
Excellent service and the taste is very good. Since generally the seafood is fresh and they can serve you the Catch of the day. Definitely one of my favorite places in the Mexican Caribbean.“

“This is really like a hidden gem. Nothing fancy, but the food is excellent (AUTHENTICO). The people there really make you feel like you’re at a friend’s house enjoying good food and having a good time! I would recommend for anyone in the area.“

“The staff at this restaurant are great! Very attentive, very welcoming! ?The decoration is very neat, it is the perfect place to enjoy a good ceviche or guacamole between locals and tourists but far from the overly touristy restaurants. ?The dishes are generous and very fresh ?A Mexican experience that left its mark on us.Thank you again and see you soon“

“The food in a place should always be good, at Merkadito, we have good food and a spectacular place, the perfect combination. The service is very good and efficient. If you want to have a pleasant time and at the same time enjoy a good meal this is the place. 100% recommendable.“

“It is a fast food restaurant whose extended hours guarantee access to its delicious dishes late at night with good service, adequate seasoning and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Dietary restrictions: The dishes offered in the restaurant are far from contributing to any diet.

Parking: Parking is located next to the restaurant facilities, for a capacity of 10 vehicles.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility is guaranteed because there are ramps“

“The tacos are very good, they are made with charcoal and that gives them a good flavor, the meat is of good quality, the flank steak is great. Before they had a different quality in the sausage, now it is greasy. It would be nice to have the menu with food and prices visible, since I don't know what they offer besides tacos. Go prepared with repellent because there are many flies. Alone, you can drink soda, bottled water or Caguamas ?. There are no flavored waters.“
