Los de Pescado

Los de Pescado is a casual seafood taco restaurant on Avenida Tulum in the Centro district of Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, popular with local residents. It also operates a smaller branch in the Hotel Zone at Km 7, which gives visitors staying on the beach side a convenient alternative. The cuisine is Baja-influenced seafood tacos adapted to the Caribbean coast. The specialities are fried and grilled fish tacos and shrimp tacos, served on tortillas with cabbage, sauces and lime, and eaten with a choice of salsas from the counter. These are simple dishes built on fresh seafood, and the restaurant is a downtown reference point for anyone looking for an inexpensive seafood lunch without going to a table-service seafood house. The dining area is casual, with a fast pace, a mix of families and office workers at lunch, and a relaxed dress code. The noise level is typical of a busy taqueria. Prices are rated $, which keeps the restaurant accessible for repeated visits. Service is walk-in, and no reservations are taken. The busiest period is the midday lunch hour on weekdays and the weekend afternoons, when queues for tables or the counter can form. Visitors who want a quieter meal can arrive early or in mid-afternoon. Seafood restaurants in Cancun often serve their best fish at lunch, and tacos of this kind are traditionally a daytime meal. Pairing the tacos with agua fresca or a cold beer is the usual choice. The Avenida Tulum location is easy to reach on public buses, which run along the avenue, making it one of the more accessible local restaurants for visitors without a car.
