EFF never disappoints. The staff is great as are the food and drink. Do not miss the fried fish-a whole fish (local catch) that is then somehow deep fried. Not oily or heavy at all-simply amazing. Cocktails made table side are outstanding. This is one of the best values in Cancún.

During my first visit to Cancun, I stayed in the hotel zone. All five dishes I tried were excellent, but the standout was the Tikin Xic fish. It was juicy, tender, and had thick meat. The service was good, and the staff were friendly. I would love to come back again.

This place is amazing! Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. I had the mixed ceviche and a margarita. Both were excellent!!!

We spent Christmas dinner here and had a wonderful time ! It's another contemporary decorated restaurant in the hotel zone and we had a wonderful evening here Service was very good , drinks and cocktails were also great Here's everything we had : Appetizers : 1) 10 fresh oysters - we loved it ! Very good and fresh , what else do you need out of oysters . 4.2/5 2) quinoa salad - was pretty good , spinach was fresh and plentiful and the goat cheese was yummy . 4/5 3) marlen fish ceviche -came with little toasted bread and was an excellent dish . The fish was very flavourful . 4.3/5 Main dishes : 1) me and my wife shared a 700gr fresh grouper that was outstanding . Grouper is such an amazing fish that all it needed was just a god fry. The portion was perfect for two to share. 4.7/5 2) Alfredo with salmon was also very good and in a generous portion. . The salmon pieces were perfectly cooked . 4/5 3) coconut shrimp were very good - large , fresh and the coconut coating was not too sweet . 4.3/5 French fries were standard and they also give a nice kit of dips with the free nachos they bring to the table at the start of the meal

This place is a must visit if you are near La Isla, Cancún. The fish is so fresh and tasty. Service is immediate and courteous. And the setting may be a bit confusing when you first walk up but go to the back and down the stairs. You are going to be glad you came to El fish fritanga.

We were staying at an all inclusive in the hotel district and by day 3 we were over the food selections so we ventured out and found this gem (thanks to Tiktok). We loved it so much we dined here the last 2 nights of our trip! When you pull up to the place it looks very unassuming (we thought we were in the wrong place) but once you descend down the staircase you step into a tropical oasis with one of the best sunsets in Cancun. The service, cocktails, ambience, music, and food were a 10 out of 10!! The staff were super attentive and accommodating. All recommendations made were delicious. We got the ceviche, fried whole snapper, Plantains, grilled fish, calamari, onion rings, and salad. All were tasty and cooked well. The portion sizes are huge and you definitely get your money's worth. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return. I think about that snapper atleast once a week.... so good!!!

Beautiful lagoon side view. Short walk from La Isla or Hospital Joya bus stops. Walk past the street facing store front, towards the back and downstairs to get to the main restaurant. Largest well priced cocktails we saw at restaurants (under 200 pesos). Complimentary spread of salsa, pico, habanero, tamarind with basket of totopos. Service was very fast and attentive and they made an effort to check for any resort/hotel discount that could be applied, even though we did not make a reservation through our resort. Solid food and fair prices. Grilled octopus was a little soggy/mushy on the outside, despite being served in the skillet in was presumably cooked in. Tuna tostadas were very satisfying. Some extra noise from neighboring bar, but not too distracting overall. Highly recommend!

El Fish Fritanga is a brilliant seafood restaurant located in the heart of Zona Hotelera. As with everything in Zona Hotelera expect to pay top dollar... $$$$. The one thing that sets El Fish Fritanga apart is the quality of food. If you look at the prices nobody would blame you for thinking Tourist Trap! The food here is brilliant! The main restaurant is downstairs past the small Taqueria. The main restaurant is a proper dine in venue and has a full menu, while the Taqueria upstairs serves mostly Tacos and has a very limited menu. The food is just as good in both places. The drinks here are amazing! We first ate at the Taqueria upstairs which is on the main street. You can order all kinds of drinks at the Tqueria as well, if it's not listed on the menu here the staff has the drinks made at the bar downstairs and bought up. LA TAQUERIA: ~ Ceviche - 5/5 The ceviche was literally like a meal. We weren't expecting it to be that big. It was by far the best one we had on the; Very well balanced, Good flavor, Not too citrusy with generous amounts of seafood. ~ TACOS: PULPO ENCEBOLLADO - 5/5 Probably some of the best Octopus Tacos I had. Grilled to perfection with a decent amount of Octopus in it. ~ TACOS: CARNE ASADA - 4.5/5 Your standard Carne Asada tacos. these were delicious! Nothing to complain about... Even the chips and salts are amazing! The Salsa had a nice kick to it, without being overly spicy. If you want some ocean views and a nice ambiance make sure to dine at the main restaurant downstairs. They also have live music in the evenings as well. #adulting: ~ Piña Colada - 5/5 Best, Piña Colada I had so far in my life I think...actually I'm positive! Well balanced, not too sweet, refreshing; Fruity, Silky and Smooth! Brilliant! #Seafood: ~ TACOS: Soft shell Crab - 3.5/5 This was interesting... For some reason the Soft Shell Crab just doesn't work as a Taco for me. It had a bit too much going on... ~ Elé octopus: 3.5/5 The grilled octopus was good, but I had better elsewhere. Grilled with Paprika for that smokey and spicy flavor. I like this place, great spot to enjoy a meal without traveling too far.
