“ Super chill beach days with umbrellas, lounge chairs, table, food, and drinks. The entire staff was wonderful everyday. ”
“ Great little family run restaurant. Views are amazing and the service is great. The salsa is addicting and the seafood is fresh. Not fancy but high quality and reasonably priced. Highly recommend! ”
“ I love this area of MX, Porta Morelos for its simplicity, the fresh as you can get fish and shrimp and beachside service! This area of MX beaches is one of my favorites. More laid back and quiet compared to Cancun or Playa del Carmen. A cozy little town with great places to eat, drink or chill on the beach. BTW if you're ever here during Dec. they have a really nice Christmas Market in the center of town. Cayuse is my favorite place to eat and hang out for the day of all of Porta Morelos. It is a outdoor sandy floor bar and restaurant with great views of the ocean. The staff are fantastic. Friendly, quick and helpful when trying to decide on what to eat. Even the cooks in the kitchen were hilarious making the day fun making cat noises, we loved it. We had the fresh caught snapper fried, cooked to perfection! Served with picante, rice, beans and tortillas. Delicious. The Ceviche was perfect as well, I love the lime and pepper version and this one did not disappoint. The chicken burrito was huge and delicious, I so love when the wrap has a little crust/char on it. Stuffed with tons of chicken, not a bunch of filler. Something to know as well, you can book snorkeling trips right at the restaurant, ask for Christian, fantastic guide, safe and very professional. Knew his stuff too, we saw turtles, sharks, rays, pompano, amazing to see all these and more in one snorkel day. Will I come back here? Oh yes, this is my sooo Go To anytime while in Porta. There is some parking inside the restaurant wall, more on the street and a lot next door that sometimes is open for parking. ”
“ Cayuse is the best host in Puerto Morelos. Go there and enjoy the breathtaking view, savor delicious food, drink a cold beer, dance with your partner, sing along to the music, swim in the crystal-clear waters, soak up the sun, and when you return home, tell your friends about the incredible experience they're missing. ”
“ This is my favorite restaurant in Puerto Morelos. I've been here three times already and the Ceviche is great. Cheapest price for Ceviche I've found in town too. Their salsa casera is to die for. Super friendly service. And you cannot get more Caribbean views than this. Must visit! ”
“ Beachfront fresh fish tasty cocktails a slice of heaven. But a word of warning! I got to choose a really fresh fish as soon as it came in off the back of the truck (I am a chef and know what to look for) the cooking method ( smothering in a spicy salsa and cooking over a wood fire) was beautiful except they didn't bother to scale the fish and a mouth full of fish scales was a huge let down, only to be given a bill of 180 usd that was comparatively and unexpectedly quite high for two people for a fish dinner with beer and a couple of cocktails. ”
“ Stopped in for a drink while walking down the beach. What a great atmosphere. Place is literally built on the beach so we are talking sand floor, open air, smell and sound of the ocean. And the margaritas are awesome. Just what we needed on a hot afternoon. ”
“ This is the place to eat at in Puerto Morelos. Everywhere else is just hype or tourist trap. My wife and I stopped here after we flew in, on our way to Tulum. It was so charming that we even drove back the next day from Tulum. The big draw was that there was parking, and no need to pay for that. The food was excellent and fresh and the whole staff was beyond accommodating. Even when a storm came, they really made us feel as though we were at home. We had the fish tacos and lobster plate — all very good. We had they aguas frescas which was just what we needed. ”
