Cancun restaurant review

Restaurants in Cancun

There is a VERY local restaurant on the lagoon side between the Tri-Royals and Club Med, right on the water. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name. It's very basic, but the food and margaritas were wonderful. No one wants to tell you about it, but we jogged by and happened to notice it. Does this ring a bell with anyone? If you like local places, it's great, especially for lunch.

Hello,

You all had such wonderful insight to what's really going on with regards Cancun and its many restaurants. I hope if some of you have a moment, you can visit the travel survey I created to let others know what you all do. Thanks a lot in advance for your expertise.

Hey ValDar

Is the restaurant you're thinking of called J.C. Capitan?

Yes the crocodile. He said it was about 12 ft. and I'm not sure which course it was on.

What big crock? I'm not sure what your stepson is referring to. You mean the crocodile at the Hilton club? I didn't see it although I hit several shots into the water (windy day) so I had opportunities to inspect various ponds.

We used our Entertainment Plus 2X1 card and really enjoyed OK Maguey, right next to the Sands. It was moderately priced. La Parilla (downtown and in Playa del Carmen) is our favorite. It is fairly inexpensive for large portions of great food. Maria Bonita's is fun and has good food. We had a great meal at El Conquistador at the Royal Mayan. La Fisheria is inexpensive and has very good pizza. La Habichuela was a bit disappointing on our last visit, but we have had great meals in the past. We had a terrible meal at Lorenzilla. Faro was good but not great.

This is becoming a very informative thread, so I've added a link to it in the sticky post at the beginning of the Mexico forum. I hope other posters will continue to add to this list of Cancun restaurant suggestions.

Where is it located in relation to El Rey ruins? Have you tried El Restaurante Punta Nizuc?
