"El Galeón del Caribe Even though it’s right across the street from top Cancún resorts near the southern end of the Hotel Zone, the entrance to this open-air restaurant remains known only to locals plus a few in-the-know travelers. Walk down the wooden staircase to find a dirt floor, a palapa roof, and tranquil lagoon views, plus affordable Caribbean seafood dishes prepared in an outdoor kitchen. You’ll also get traditional comfort food like ceviche and garlic shrimp, along with a selection of Mexican beers, but the highlight is the hot and fresh pescadillas , shredded fish in pan-fried tortillas."

Beautiful sunset view, food was pretty good. Guacamole and Basa was good. Unfortunately Grouper was sold out. Nothing fancy, paper napkin dispenser on the tables, plastic chairs and very basic drink choices. We were seated right away but had to finally flag down a server to take our order. Hopefully it was just a bad night for her. She was anything but pleasant.

Great views, chill spot, fresh shrimp, the guacamole was fresh and delightful and the octopus was not rubbery at all. This spot is hidden right off the side of the road. We started our trip to cancun here and it was a pleasant experience.

Recommended by a local. Really nice view of the bay. Ordered shrimp cocktail, fried plantain with cream and a fresca. Food was delicious and prices were cheap. Paid $5 for lunch. Hotels will not share that with you. Beware of the fresh salsa, it definitely has a kick but soooooo gooood.

The restaurant is facing the lagoon . It has an amazing sunset view. The food is good, especially the pescadillas . They just accept cash which is not convenient for tourists .

Nice view , very hot in the afternoon. Prices have rises but quality service and food have decreased sadly. We were still chewing our last bite and the waiter was standing next to us to take the plate, pescadillas were tasteless and the salsa looks and tasted not good.

The restaurant was located within a walking distance from Playa Delfines (20 minutes). Very nice ambiance with a view of the lagoon, and the food was fresh and delicious. They have Spanish and English menus. My friend and I ordered half-sized mix ceviche, shrimp with garlic mojo (sauce), and a beer. It was enough to satisfy us both.

Beware, I Got Food Poisoning! I went yesterday for lunch and had a mix ceviche with octopus and shrimp. The food seemed okay, and the atmosphere was really good, but I woke up today with severe stomach pain and gastroenteritis, and I’ve been vomiting ever since. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning, which indicates that the food wasn’t fresh. It is unacceptable for a seafood restaurant not to guarantee the freshness of the products they serve. This is an extremely dangerous situation, and obviously, no one wants to experience food poisoning during their holiday. I highly advise against going to this place, as it could ruin your vacation. This situation poses a health risk to customers, and it is an experience that no one should have to endure. Answer: First of all, allergies don't work that way. Secondly, I've eaten mix ceviche multiple times in Cancun without any issues. So please, own up to it.

The seafood was delicious. This is a locals place hidden in the hotel zone. No sign nothing. Just wonder down the stairs and you'll be greeted by this hidden place. Didn't take pictures of the delicious ceviche or fresh fried fish. Was so good we were concentrating on eating!!
