The Caribbean galleon

We look forward to come back! Very tasty and reasonable food. Everything was great! They make feeling you comfortable for everyone. The staff make sure if you are able to pay in cash. In case you have no cash there are ATMs in hotels on the other side of the road ;)

A local guide recommended this place and said I had to try their pescadillas. It was conveniently located across the street from where I was staying so I had no excuse. The place is cash only and is very old school Mexican wash your hands with water from a bucket place. You can even see the cooks preparing the fish. My sanitation doubts fled once I tried their delicious pescadillas. Perfectly crunchy fried and stuffed with fishy goodness. I also got a mixed shrimp/octopus cocktail that had a decent amount of seafood considering rising food costs. My server was pretty nonchalant and hardly ever came to my table to check up on me or offer something else but that’s not a huge deal maybe they were busy. I didn’t regret coming here this afternoon.

This place was highly recommended by many locals and it’s definitely worth a going. Nice selection of authentic seafood and a few dishes you won’t find at the tourist restaurants. Cooking is done on wood fire for a great flavour.

Such a gem! Authentic Mexican food with great sunset lagoon view. We had guacamole, shrimp ceviche and pescadillas (fried fish tacos). Best food we’ve found so far in Cancun. Most places we’ve tried are overpriced with poor quality. This place was reasonably priced and delicious. We’ll be back for sure!

Pescadillas and breaded filet were amazing! Must try. We were full after shrimp cocktail and pescadillas but had also ordered the breaded filet. Glad we did!

I honestly don’t understand all the hype about this place. To sit down here, I had to walk almost 700 meters under the burning sun to the nearest ATM because they only accept cash. Naturally, I had high expectations, but they were not met at all. First of all, all the bathroom doors were wide open, and the smell constantly reached our table. Second, the food was disappointing. The only thing I really enjoyed was the guacamole. My shrimp dish was bitter, and I barely managed to finish it. There was also some kind of soggy tortilla on my plate, and I had no idea what to do with it — it just stayed untouched. My partner also didn’t like the food much; it was edible, but nothing special. The worst part was the mosquitoes. In less than half an hour, I was bitten over 30 times — on my legs, arms, and even through my dress. I asked the waitress for a repellent spray, she promised to bring it “in a minute,” but disappeared and only came back when we were already asking for the bill, saying that unfortunately there was no spray. That was really disappointing, because she could have told us right away. We also had to wait quite a long time for the check, during which I got even more bites. By the end, we were both frustrated and upset. I cannot recommend this restaurant. The food and the service are definitely not worth the hassle of walking to an ATM to withdraw cash. If you do decide to come, make sure to bring your own repellent — even during the day, there are swarms of mosquitoes that will bite nonstop.

This spot is hidden down some steps but the setting is gorgeous. It's looking out over the lagoon. We came at 6pm, confused as to why it closed at 6:30pm. We were there past close - its because bugs descend around 6:30 so don't make our mistake. We ordered a whole fish, and it was absolutely delicious. It came with tortillas and a fairly spicy (for a white person) salsa. Although it was really delicious, it was about MX500 and wasn't quite enough food for two. Not great value for money but nice vibes and tasty

Very nice place with good food. Service was ok but our waiter didn’t take the other from all of us and just left, that was strange. You can pay only in cash.
