Puerto Aventuras Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Puerto Aventuras
Puerto Aventuras mingles tropical beauty with the riches of the sea. Beaches are fantastic, with powdery, white sand, and there's excellent fishing as well. For a fun day, explore the eco-archeological park Xcaret, or snorkel at Xel-ha, a natural inlet water park. The Mayan ruins at Tulum, only 25 minutes away, are another must-see.

We stayed at Omni and ate breakfast here every morning. We enjoyed the attentive service, excellent coffee, generous fruit platter and delicious variety of pastries. We tried a different local menu item each day and all were flavorful, well presented, and generously portioned. We often lingered over coffee to enjoy the breathtaking ocean view and watch the windsurfers and passing sailboats. A beautiful way to start each vacation day!

Restaurant Dos Chiles. Un lugar donde la gastronomía mexicana y el bello paisaje se fusionan para crear una grandiosa experiencia.
Reviewed By K-Mig - Stockton, California
All 13 of our family members ate dinner at Dos Chiles one evening for dinner. We had to be put at 2 tables, which was fine and the owner was very warm and accommodating. At our table were my young adult grandson, teenage granddaughter, daughter (not their mother), husband and 2 great-nephews (3 & 7, without their parents). The 2 boys didn't want to eat, but we coaxed them into at least ordering something and said we would take it home if they didn't eat. I talked the 3 year old into a fresh fruit salad, but when we ordered it the owner said they only had apples and bananas. That was fine with me, however, when the plate arrived it also had pears and pineapple. He ate almost every bite, sharing some with his brother. Big brother was talked into cheese quesadillas. He ate one and my granddaughter ate the rest! I had a shrimp cocktail, which was delicious. My husband and daughter shared a huge combination plate of Mexican specialties, which they said were all very good and the grandkids each had enchiladas and were both happy with their meals.

Reviewed By Terry4 - England, United Kingdom
This was our favourite restaurant in Puerto Aventuras. Excellent food and wine. The wine is also available to buy by the glass which is a bonus when one prefers to drink white wine and the other red. Most restaurants only serve wine by the bottle.
Only a small restaurant so tables fill quickly by 7pm. Advisable to book in advance.
Please note that the restaurant is closed on Sunday.

We have been to this restaurant many times over the past 7 years. It has always been and continues to be a very good value both in quality and quantity however this last visit left a lot to be desired! The service was horrible....had to go to the bar to get our own drinks, had to chase down a waiter to place an order for food...and the owner was either too occupied or too inept to realize that he was short staffed. In future, would consider almost any other restaurant in Puerto Aventuras.

They call us the BEST PIZZA in Puerto!! Giovanni and Stefanía new owners
Reviewed By LyndaLyng - Osoyoos, Canada
This is my absolute favourite Italian Restaurant in Puerto Aventuras. The staff is exceptional, happy and friendly. The service was the best of all the places we ate at not to mention the food was excellent. When the owner was there she always said hello to us and everyone else. The pizza was terrific and people we constantly ordering them to eat there or to go. They also own the Italian Bakery next door and the bread is to die for. I asked the owner Stefania when I left if she would wrap up a loaf for me to take home and she was very happy to do that for me. A manager of another Italian restaurant told me that they have pizza on their menu but would get them from Paparazzi for themselves. On Thursday nights the most amazing Tenor Antonio Palominos sings there and he was so nice that he let me video tape him singing. Thank you staff at Paparazzi for your terrific hospitality and great food. I will definitely be back next year!

Lovely breakfast, lunch, dinner and special event restaurant overlooking the dolphins which are less than 15 feet away. Hippo has a great Taco Bar on our second patio with all the toppings you can imagine. Fresh daily fish and lobster sold by the gram. Hand carved American Black Angus steaks cut to size.We have large screen TV's for sports events but keep the volume low so others can enjoy the ambiance. Free fresh popcorn and terrific cocktails and ice cold draft/bottled beers make Hippo a gem in Puerto Aventuras for all to enjoy.

Had breakfast, lunch and dinner here over the course of three weeks. One night I had the fish and chips(Friday special) and my wife had the scallops. My fish was raw inside and her scallops were way overcooked.Had to send my fish back and then it came back incinerated and full of grease. My friends had the prime rib dinner on Sunday night and raved about it. Quality isn't consistent here.
