Taste the flavor of seafood from the coasts of Quintana Roo



Part of the My Guide Network Since 2006 180+ destinations

Coming to the beach and not eating seafood is almost a sin, that's why we bring you a list of restaurants where you can find contemporary seafood dishes, if you want to try something new, that is, other than the classic shrimp dishes with garlic sauce. or shrimp cocktails, etc. These are the options:

La Buena Barra is a contemporary Mexican steakhouse with international flavors, which offers a la carte menu service providing an excellent gastronomic experience, we recommend the aguachile de callo de hacha served on a mirror of red aguachile based pepper and serrano, with a slight citrus touch. Accompanied with roasted serrano dressing with peanuts and toast covered with sesame seeds and wasabi.

Now if you like spicy we recommend you visit Thai Restaurant, and ask for the soup called "tom yam goong" which is a shrimp broth with lemongrass and mushrooms. The restaurant has palapas set with tables, you will surely feel comfortable and you will not want to leave.

Las hijas de la tostada, this restaurant bar in Cancun fuses the flavors of the Pacific with the tropical flavors of the Caribbean, we definitely recommend you order the “carnitas de atún” which are seven cubes of tuna marinated with onion in a 7-chile sauce.
