The best food, the best cocktails, and the best service. Thank you to Mario, the best server—not only in Cancun, but among all the restaurants I’ve visited, even including those in the United States. Thanks to him, my first trip to Cancun became a wonderful and unforgettable memory.

If you appreciate seafood, this is a great place. Service was excellent. Greatly enjoyed the Civiche, cream of oyster soup, Lamb and Lobster.

What an amazing time at Mare Nostrum. From quality, technique to the pairing, this place exceeds any other seafood restaurant I had been too. This place will hold a strong standing for seafood in the future. We were serviced by Mario Uicab and Yohani Sanchez and they have us an amazing walkthrough of the dishes as well as their opinions not to make a sale, but for what they actually prefer. They were extremely attentive and made the experience joyful. For appetizers I strongly recommend the ceviche for is freshness of the sea and the Galician style octopus for its spice freshness as well as new taste in style for any other octopus I've had. Mario had said the octopus was his favorite and damn right he was. We followed with the grouper and the grilled lobster. The grouper fillet was amazing it brought the specific taste to a whole new level, forward with the flavor but somehow rides the line between light and robust. It was delicious and the technical skill used to cook it was perfect. The fish was moist and the skin carried the seasoning well. The lobster is tender with a creamy melt in your mouth feel. The plating is show stopping and the sides made both dishes balanced. There are no words to describe how good the lobster was, it is something one must enjoy. The deserts!!! Amazing!!!!! The Baklava amazing paring with the raspberry handmade ice cream. They used more fine ingredients and build to bring the flavor to be crinkly and creamy. Delicious. The apple pie was not a big slice of traditional pie, but a delicate made hand pie with a flakey crust, whole slices of apples and more cinnamon than a traditional American whole pie. Delicious pairing with the soft vanilla ice cream. The Bavarian cream with fresh strawberry. The perfect last bite to a truly amazing meal. Was an amazing light custard crème brûlée consistency paired with delicious suprise of strawberries jam at the bottom and a small bite of strawberry on top. Truly amazing.
