Puerto Santo

A real good experience for our first night in Cancún. The service is excellent as much as the food. It’s also very fast and the view on the beach is amazing.

I’m so happy we found this place on day one. Firstly the setting-dining on the beach. Lovely lighting and the waves about 20 feet from you. The service is superb, really friendly and very attentive. The food is also great. Our favorites were the tuna tartare, the shrimp ceviche (superb) and the seafood esquites. We are latterly staying footsteps from this place so we wander over for sundowner drinks too. Definitely a spot to stop off at.

Highly recommend....if you can find it, the fresh seafood amazingly prepared along with wonderful friendly service is well worth it

Puerto Santo – A Sunset Dining Gem in Cancún If you’re looking for a place to enjoy fresh seafood, sip on a tropical cocktail, and watch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea, look no further than Puerto Santo. We came here in the late afternoon and were seated right on the sand, facing the ocean with a perfect view of the pier and glowing string lights. As the sky turned pastel pink and orange, the whole setting felt like something out of a movie — serene, romantic, and unforgettable. 🐟 What we ordered: • Ceviche: Bright, fresh, and zesty — the lime and red onion hit just right, and it paired perfectly with the crispy tortilla chips. • Crispy fried shrimp with rice: Crunchy on the outside, juicy inside — simple but satisfying. • Seafood rice in tumbala sauce: The highlight of the meal — flavorful, well-seasoned, with plump shrimp, mussels, and squid. • Grilled veggies and roasted octopus (served in a sizzling hot dish): Smoky, savory, and beautifully charred. • And of course, a grapefruit cocktail to top it all off — refreshing and not overly sweet. The service was friendly and relaxed, matching the laid-back beach vibes. Prices were reasonable considering the generous portions and beachfront location. ⭐️ Final thoughts: A perfect spot for a sunset dinner in Cancún. Come for the view, stay for the food — and don’t forget to bring your camera. Would absolutely come back!

As always, service is impecable, as well as food, drinks and the setting. Frequented by locals. No tourists usually unless they stumble upon by accident. Just had the chocolata clams, small 250g fish snapper with rice vegs, accompanied by many well prepared margaritas. Expensive.

Should have gone here earlier. Went here on our final day in Cancun of a 7 day trip and compared to anything we ate at in the hotel zone, this had the best food, best service, and reasonable prices in comparison. Worth the extra Uber cost to get here. The portions were much bigger than expected compared to Hotel Zone restaurants so we ended up taking a box of food to our hotel. Out of what we ate, the bone marrow was great, and the coconut shrimp. Lobster casserole was good but a bit too rich for my taste. The rice seafood was ok. The standout feature was definitely the ambience and vibes. Highly recommend!!

From the moment we arrived, the staff was helpful, kind, and attentive, which set the mood for the evening. We had mojitos, margaritas, tequila, carajillo, mussels, fish, desert and it was only 3 of us. and live music. It was all delicious and the portions excellent. Thank you to Josue and the rest of the staff for such a wonderful dinner experience.

One of the nices places in Cancun, if you are looking for a great place with not big ticket prices and a great view this is the place, we had a great time 2 days before christmas.

It’s was amazing, when the lights when out they gave us these nice miniature cute little lights that can change color and they gave us misquote repellents and the workers are so kind and considerate also the food is out of this world, and the view next to the ocean was incredible along with the sunset, I recommend this restaurant🥰❤️👍

One of the best places in Cancun Upd: you all must try camarones en coco. Big portion, fresh and good serving

We recently visited a beachfront restaurant and had such a wonderful experience that we dined there twice during our stay. The first thing that struck us was the amazing vibe of the place. It was casual, laid-back, and had a wonderful beachy feel to it. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. We tried many dishes, and each one was better than the last. From the fresh seafood to the amazing tacos everything was top-notch. The drinks were also amazing, with a great selection of cocktails to choose from. We especially loved the mezcal which were perfect for sipping on while enjoying the beautiful beach views. But what really set this restaurant apart was the outstanding service we received. Our server, Shani, was attentive and helpful, making great suggestions and taking great care to ensure that our dining experience was perfect. Overall, I would highly recommend this beachfront restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience

A little pricy but delicious food and amazing service. Right on the beach and the atmosphere is wonderful, so much so that we came twice in the same day

Lovely food and drinks. I had these octopus tacos, which were AMAZING and as well as the mango curry civeche. The view on the beach and all round experience was wonderful. The food was nice and spicy to my liking, highly recommend this place if you are in the Puerto Juarez area. Prices are decent, quite the same if I was back home, but maybe slightly cheaper, nothing drastic. The wait staff were excellent and very attentive. I’ll definitely go back.

This was definitely a great experience, from the food to the atmosphere, the wind was strong but the staff was very attentive and making sure we were comfortable. The live music was amazing, the band was fun and super approachable. Definitely recommend it 1000%.

Absolutely delicious food, good service, and great location! Picture is from their dock to their lit up restaurant :)

Incredible service, gorgeous location, and good food. It was our favourite restaurant in Cancun. There is live music and a friendly atmosphere. Very different from the usual tourist spot. We had Raul as our server on two visits and he's a dream. Really five star service and the team actually seems to enjoy themselves. Makes a great atmosphere. The owner came out and welcomed us, and we were checked on by staff through. Never waited for anything but weren't bothered or rushed either

Carlo was absolutely fantastic. Took the time to explain to us items on the menu. Great food and customer service. A must visit location. They have live music on Fridays and weekends starting at 5pm.

This was the freshest seafood yet. We had an absolutely huge lobster tail. Very nice and accommodating waiters. Now the drive in was a little sketchy, but all was fine. Pretty waterfront restaurant. You can eat with your toes in the sand.

Celebrated my 40th birthday in Cancun with my teenage son. We decided on Puerto Santo because it was close to our AirBnB, on the beach, and highly rated. Our server was excellent. The vibes were relaxed and fun. The food was AMAZING. I will definitely visit again.

I loved it!!! Amazing restaurant to eat and chill

Right on the water, sand under your feet and the ocean breeze makes this place unforgettable especially with a full moon rising. Had the mixed fish ceviche, red snapper filet and camerones (shrimp) Puerto Santo. Wonderful, fresh ceviche with lots of large chunks of fish and shrimp. Very delightful. The Camerones Puerto Santo came wrapped in a corn husk to keep all the juices in while cooking. Numerous, large shrimp with lots of flavor. The red snapper filet was good, but the shrimp won the table.

I loved this restaurant so much! The staff was sooo attentive and the food was great. We were greeted at the entrance and felt very welcomed. We ordered food and drinks, were satisfied with both. Guillermo overheard that it was my best friend’s birthday and at the end of our dinner we were brought a complimentary piece of cake plus the staff sang her “happy birthday”! Everyone was friendly, it was clean at all times, and Daniel had no problem taking time to suggest options for me since I was indecisive about my meal. Would 10/10 recommend!

Excellent food. The chips came with two sauces. Both spicy. Had seafood soup.. see small cup. Very good. Then we had shrimp and octopus ceviche. Definitely enough for two people.

My group loved this place! We went there multiple times because we stayed at a place right next to it. Good service, delicious food, and nice beach atmosphere and view.

One of the best seafood restaurants in Cancun. The place is hidden inside an apartment complex, and getting here was not easy from the hotel zone.. but it was definitely worth it. 10/10 Vibes, food and service.

This restaurant made my trip complete, great ambience, delicious spicy food right on the beach. You can feel the sea breeze on your face while you enjoy your food. We ordered catch of the day fish & octopus. Highly recommended.

Staff was very attentive, food was delicious we went twice during our trip 😋 would definitely go back and recommend

Excellent atmosphere, beautiful views, take your shoes off and feel the sand on your feet and enjoy the great food and spectacular service from one of the best kept secrets in Cancun area. Drinks are excellent and not watered down. Sneak on over here!

Food was delicious and service was fast! Prices are a bit more expensive than some might be looking for- but youre paying for good food, good service, and good atmosphere.

Seafood by the beach! We love this restaurant. Food is amazing, the vibe is amazing, music is great and service is wonderful. I always order the ceviche, is so fresh and delicious. We also love the camarones cucaracha. Food is always incredible! And the view of the beach is beautiful. Kids have a good time too!

This awesome restaurant boasts a unique location directly on a sandy beach. You can dine with your feet in the sand while seated at your table. With a wide variety of food and beverage options, the fresh seafood is simply amazing! Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cancun!

Amazing restaurant right on the beach, food and vibes are excellent! My husband and I were staying nearby at the Amara buildings, at our mexican friend’s home. He mentioned he moved there because it was close to those restaurant.

You will be seating at the beach, with a wonderful view of Cancun's blue sea and Isla Mujeres. Service is excellent, food is delicious. If you're touristing, you will need a taxi or Uber, because it's not on the hotel zone, but very close. If you ask for a beer, don't forget to ask for a bucket with ice to keep it cool. Remember, you're sitting outside. Bring comfortable clothes and shoes. Don't forget to take your picture here.

I started out with a Classic Margarita, which was excellent. For an appetizer, I got the Tuna Tostada. Awesome choice! For my entrée I ordered the Puerto Santos salad. Freshly mixed greens with carrot shreds, tomatoes, pears and figs, with a freshly squeezed lemon for a light dressing. If you are in the area, I highly recommend Puerto Santos. They are located in Puerto Juarez, MX Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere very welcoming .

This restaurant has a really great beach section. The tables are well distributed and everyone was really helpful. The food tasted great and the spicy side of it, was really hot. The things that make me give this place 4 stars are: the waiters a lot of time were going from one place to another without coordination so service was clumsy at times, the price doesn't correspond to the quantity of the food and the kids area is just a boat stuck on the sand. I would recommend this place to take a group or for a date if you want to be by the beach in Cancun and with one or two toddlers, no babies.

I visited Puerto Santo today for lunch. The atmosphere is calm and the view is beautiful! However, the service was very annoying. The waiter kept attempting to upsell items to me. I had to bluntly say, “No, I don’t want any of that.” And another waiter was obsessed with wiping my table every time I lifted my drink and revealed a water ring. He also kept trying to remove my dishes before I was done. I had the mango fish ceviche that I tried to enjoy, but it was hard with the waiter hovering around wiping my table in front of me. Super weird. I did not tip well. I felt uncomfortable with the lack of personal space as a woman dining alone.

Ordered the seared ahi tuna. Was very overcooked. Asked for it seared, came back frozen in the center. Completely inedible. Really enjoyed the mango curry ceviche and seabass. Service was great. Beautiful location on the beach. Just steer clear of the seared tuna if you're expecting it to be actually seared as advertised.

Really great ambiance! They give you a free seafood soup as a starter Food is fresh but tastes "touristy", portions are small for the price they charge and waiters nudge you to order the flashy and expensive stuff (i.e. lobster) Recommended? Only if you want to impress someone

Gem hidden away location. Great Beach dining with a view if you get there. Lovely location!! Had a RUDE waiter who said -Tip was NOT enough and asked for EXTRA tip from us. Waiter #44. We dined on Sunday 1/4/26 and left at 20:40. Service was commensurate of what we gave, but he had audacity to ask us for MORE. SO RUDE and ruined our whole evening at the restaurant. This is unexpected from fine dining.

Food was good. Service was awful. Servers were running around but nothing gets done. Reservation is needed. There was a long line to get table if you don't have reservation. Honestly if they do it little efficiently there is lot of room to accommodate all. We asked three different people for check and waited to 30 mins, eventually we had to go to the manager to get our check. Noisy if you sit inside.
