Fred's | The best seafood in Cancun

We went here for our final dinner in Cancun. It had pretty good ratings, & the wife wanted seafood. I'd made reservations, but at first they said they only had availability inside. I said we were disappointed, as we were celebrating our anniversary & had hoped to sit next to the water. They asked us to wait a few minutes (we were 15 minutes early anyway), then sat us next to the lagoon. Our server was very fast & very friendly. The wife doesn't usually get an appetizer, as she fills up & can't finish main meal, so she contented herself with bread while I had the lobster bisque. It was very nice, but I don't think it was the best I'd ever had. Maybe second best. For the main meal, the wife got grilled salmon, which was a generous portion with some nice, spicy sauces. She enjoyed it very much. I'm not a huge seafood eater, so I went for the fish & chips, which were actually very nice, with a tangy tartar sauce & another mango-pineapple sauce. I didn't care for that too much as it was too sweet for my taste. We weren't planning on having dessert, as we were going to stop back at the hotel restaurant for churros; however, the server brought over a little dessert cake with a Roman candle spraying out the top for our anniversary. It was topped with some biscuits, which I ate, because the cake itself was very sweet. Neither of us could finish due to the sweetness and being full. We were really full by this point, but they finished off the meal with two small coconut balls under a small palm tree. Overall, it was a very nice experience; however, the food delivery was very slow. I'd say we sat well over half an hour before we received our main course. The manager did come over & apologize, serving us a complimentary guacamole dip with pork rind wafers. The place is pretty large & was very busy, with servers & busboys running around, but I guess the kitchen couldn't keep up. We heard another customer complaining about the length of time it took for her food. Still, we were in no hurry so we would definitely dine here again.

Fred’s was a fantastic experience for my wife and I. The service as well as the food were excellent. Our appetizer was huge and very good. Our meals were tasty and of high quality. They then brought us free desert to celebrate our honeymoon with a firework in it. It was so fun and everyone was so nice! We spent around $75 after the tip and without any drinks. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some fresh quality seafood !

What a wonderful experience to end our trip in Cancun. LUIS & PEDRO took care of us and were the friendliest and most helpful , along with so professional. Could not ask for better service. My favorite dish was the tuna tostada. Sorry I ate it all before snapping a picture! The flavors on it were spectacular. The oysters were delicious and fresh, and the crispy crab tacos and lobster Mac were excellent. The star of this restaurant though is definitely the staff. 10/10

We decided to come on our last day in Cancun and it was such a good idea. Perfect ambiance amazing food and even better service. Angel and his team were so attentive and accommodating. The food was all so fresh and really encapsulated Mexican cuisine. I would recommend highly!

Very nice location option, part of a bigger restaurant group. The main reason to go there is the very well done ambiance, with a DJ, tons of show cooking and sparklers going around on top of the food. The service is very good and attentive, surprisingly not overwhelmed by tourists, and always willing to work with a smile. They are knowledgeable about the food and were always smiling. The food, as expected, is not gonna be the best or most flavorful around, as it happens in chain restaurants. But it certainly hits the spot and takes away the craving of a nice ceviche. It is worth to mention that the food really takes some time to arrive.

This is a great place to eat in Cancun. I’m flight crew and I can assure you this is a frequent stop when in Cancun. A lot pilots and flight attendants eat here often. Food is always good, prices are reasonable and the staff is incredible. I’d like to shout out Luis and Rafa in particular, y’all are the best!

The experience at Fred’s was absolutely amazing!! From the moment my family and I walked in, the staff were so friendly to us and gave us some of the best service I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Abraham and Oscar were our servers and they were so kind and extremely attentive to us. On top of the stellar service, the food was delicious! We ordered the Neptune Surf and Turf (feeds 4) along with three appetizers and dessert and everything was amazing. They also gave my sister a cake for her birthday and coconut candies at the end of the night. I would definitely come back here again!!

This was one of my favorite restaurants when visiting Cancun. To start, the service was great. The waiters were very attentive and so nice. The atmosphere was also really romantic and cute. We sat outside near the water. The food was also amazing for such a great price!! It was very fresh and well made. We ordered the lobster bisque, crab cake, crabby patty and flamed crispy coconut shrimp. All of the food was well prepared and they give generous portions. We were so full but struggled to try to finish because it was so good. I highly recommend and would gladly go back on my next trip to Cancun.
