Checándole
If you can only eat at one restaurant in Cancún, then you should eat here. It’s a bit away from the city center but well worth the extra effort. Dressed up with a palapa roof, Checándole specializes in Chilango (Mexico City) cuisine. The menú del día (fixed three-course meal) is just M$45 – great value. If it’s offering pollo en mole poblano (chicken smothered in a handmade chocolate and chili sauce), you should definitely go for it.

B
El Rincón Yucateco
A reasonably priced Yucatecan place that's across from Hotel Cotty, serving a nice variety of favorites along with very weak 'American'-style coffee. Sopa de lima ('lime soup'; chicken soup with lime) is light: a good option for anyone nursing a stomach problem (or a hangover).

Carrillo’s Lobster House
Try Carrillo’s Plato Cozumel if you’re looking for something a bit special. This somewhat formal restaurant has air-con indoors and is fan-cooled outdoors, and entertainment is provided by mariachis. Follow the good smells leading to the blue building and you’ll be in the right place.

La Parrilla
Any Cancún eatery founded before the 1980s gets to call itself venerable. And La Parrilla (founded in 1975) should get a capital ‘V.’ The restaurant serves up healthy portions of Mexican fare, with a few Yucatecan favorites thrown in for good measure.

Matachi Seaside Grill
The Matachi is a stylish, intimate place inside the Hilton, right on the beach. It offers a variety of Mexican and Asian-inspired cuisine, seafood, sushi and other creative dishes. It also has one of the best views in town.

Los de Pescado
It’s easy to order at this restaurant, as there are only two choices: ceviche or tacos. Knock either back with a beer or two, and you’ll see why this is one of the best budget spots in Ciudad Cancún.
