Looking for the freshest seafood around? La Cueva del Pescador is the place for you. Featuring all the favorite catches direct from the sea, “the Cueva” can satisfy the cravings of any seafood lover! Owned and operated by fishermen, the staff at the Cueva has extensive knowledge of the sea as well as each of her tantalizing treasures. A few of the house specialties include jumbo shrimp, boiled Caribbean King crab, mini-lobster tails, and the fish filet. Each is available fried, grilled, sautéed in garlic and butter, and some are also available with curry or with a mushroom sauce. A tasty option for the fish filet is the Veracruz style – wrapped in foil and baked with tomato, onion, and pepper. Have a land-lover in the group? Have no fear. The Cueva also offers some outstanding options “not from the sea.”

A favorite happy-hour hangout for locals, the Cueva offers a fun, up-beat atmosphere that only gets better as you slip off your sandals and put your feet in the sand. The cocktails are potent, the liquors are choice, and the service is prompt so you will not go dry! Be sure to try a pitcher of Gonzalo’s famous margaritas to ensure your party feels no pain. For those who love to fish or any wishing to reel in their own dinner, try a fishing trip. ‘Hook It and Cook It’ is the motto of La Cueva del Pescador, and there is no better ending to a day spent fishing than having your catch transformed into a delicious meal with no work involved on your part.

A festive night and succulent seafood is yours at La Cueva del Pescador, located across from Akumal Bay in Plaza Ukana I.
