Me and my wife were staying at a resort and wanted to go out for a nice dinner since we were sick of eating the same food at the resort so we caught an uber and did some research to see what is the best, most popular seafood restaurant in Cancun this place came up so we went. The food was good we ordered a whole red snapper fish deep fried and 2 plates of shrimp. Everything was fine till the bill came I paid by visa and told the waiter I would give him a cash tip, I gave him 10% and left when I got to the front of the restaurant the waiter ran after me and decided to scolded me and say I am Obligated to leave minimum 18% tip ,I was honestly shocked that he chased me out of the restaurant and demanded more money . This is not acceptable specially, since the food bill was over $250 CDN dollars Just because we are on vacation and are tourist it doesn’t mean we came with buckets of money to throw on around. We enjoyed our experience but it was a lil bit underwhelming overall. The staff were pleasant but for me the food was only “okay”…other than the lobster which was fresh and excellent. Sunset from the deck was breathtaking. We were a party of four and what an amazing location and restaurant. So you start with a long walk on a deck through a pirate like museum. There is naval art statues and even a submarine style door to the very well stocked wine cellar. We say on the deck over looking the lagoon which I believe is the best table in the house. My wife ordered the lobster bisque which had an amazing flavor but her being from Maine though it was more of a soup. Still had a lot of lobster and you tasted. I ordered the the scallops which cooked perfect & tasted. We also had a great Cesar salad and they made the sauce fresh at the table and probably the most flavorful Cesar I have ever had. For our main course we ordered the classic seafood meal for two, it came with two lobster tails, two soft shell crabs, 6 oysters Rockefeller, bunch of shrimp and baked grouper. Everything was cooked perfectly and we couldn’t eat it but tried. Between the apps meals and a bottle of wine with tip we paid $300 dollars, you will get what you paid and walk away to full. I definitely will be back again

Exceptional service and seafood! A little on the costly side but the decor/atmosphere, food quality, tasty sauces, and prompt wait times are worth it— plus you get a large quantity for what you pay for.

An unforgettable dining experience at Lorenzillo’s! From the moment we arrived, everything about Lorenzillo’s felt special. The waterfront setting was stunning, especially at sunset, and the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and professional. We ordered the lobster (of course), and it was hands-down the best I’ve ever had—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The entire menu was impressive, and the cocktails were just as memorable. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want an incredible meal in Cancún, Lorenzillo’s is a must. I’d go back in a heartbeat!
