La Palapa del Mayor — Restaurant in Cancún

My favorite dish Cazuela de Mariscos is the only reason I come here. Have come and stop coming for some 20 years now. And today I remember why. I highly recommend for a local early evening seafood dining experience. In my opinion its a hit miss. You never know if you will get a good cook who knows the recipes. It's really sad that their cazuela de Mariscos is not always prepared the same. Like the margaritas, never the same, always too sweet. Visited today, the Cazuela de Mariscos terribly watery and luke warm nothing close to the taste it normally has. I mentioned it to the waitress and it was returned with whole pieces of Oaxaca cheese. Cazuela usually takes 20 minutes because somehow the broth and cheese blends together with seafood with incredible taste. Today was just terrible 😞. Hope this...

An amazing little spot! The servers were super sweet about my forgetting my phone and subsequently my Google translate. The fish I ordered seemed a bit on the drier side but I also took it to go and probably should have opted for a fried dish for that. The ceviche was really delicious the crab was fresh real meat. The open space was cool and comfortable and the guy next to me had some amazing looking prawns in a clay pot and I was a little jelly I didn't order that! They also are the first restaurant to give this citrus fiend sufficient limes. Definitely would go back...

Really enjoyable. Whole family liked it. My wife and I shared a ceviche mixto, grilled octopus, and crab soup. Kids had steak tacos and a hamburger with fries (sigh). There is a small play area with swings and climbing stuff attached to the restaurant. Drinks were good. Kids had virgin piña coladas. Prices were very reasonable compared to anything in the hotel zone. You can also buy ceviche by the kilo for $600MXN around $30US if you want to...
