Caribbean Coast Restaurants

Caribbean Coast Restaurant Reviews

Restaurants here vary from quirky beachside affairs with outdoor tables and palapas to more-elaborate and sophisticated establishments. Dress is casual at most places, so leave your tie and jacket at home. Smaller cafés and fish eateries may not accept credit cards or traveler's checks, especially in remote beach villages. Bigger establishments and those in hotels normally accept plastic. Unlike restaurants in Playa del Carmen, those in Puerto Morelos do not factor propinas (tips) into the bill. Depending on the service, a 10% to 15% gratuity is usually standard. It's best to order fresh local fish—grouper, dorado, red snapper, and sea bass—rather than shellfish like shrimp, lobster, and oysters, since the latter are often flown in frozen from the Gulf. The largest selection of restaurants can be found in Playa del Carmen.
