We typically walk to Puerto Morelos for lunch/dinner at least once per trip. We usually eat at Punta Corcho because the food and drinks are so delicious. We are looking for some recommendations near the square that are equally as good restaurants. What are your favorites?

John Gray’s. Was a recommendation we got in the hot tub and have been a number of times

We have eaten at Los Pelicanos several times and enjoyed the food and drinks.

If you want a dive bar type scene, Tocos.com is right off the square with great food and really good margaritas they serve in a glass measuring cup.

There's only one answer: Punta Corcho. It's truly remarkable - not remarkable for its location, remarkable period. One of our favorite restaurants anywhere in the world.

We always either walk down the beach to Puerto Morales for lunch or take a taxi for dinner ($15 plus tip each way in March). Punta Corcho is excellent but not always open for lunch. Our experience with Los Pelicanos is fine and while it’s not Punta Corcho, the ocean view is better. John Gray’s is on the list for our next trip to Pearl in the fall as we have heard excellent things and the patio looks amazing. Our favorite restaurant is Boquinete which is a half block or so south of Punta Corcho - the whole fresh fish is amazing - probably best with a party of 4 or more - but on the level of the best 5 star seafood restaurants I’ve been to. They are all good choices.
