Seafood restaurant · Cancún
"Every Cancún local knows this seafood stalwart. Awash in blue and white, it has held down a spot in Puerto Juárez, a fishermen’s neighborhood in Cancún, since the ’70s, making it one of the city’s longest-running establishments. Chef Octavio Santiago — who took over the business from his father — serves skillful renditions of soups, cocktails, ceviches, fresh fish fillets, octopus, and shrimp. Be sure to try the boquinete (hogfish), a deep-water fish served fried or cooked over an open fire, as well as grilled oysters with garlic butter and lemon. And don’t miss the salsas; they’re a delicacy. [$$]" - Wendy Pérez
