From continental dining, to fresh seafood, to traditional Mayan cuisine, Cancun
restaurants offer a truly dazzling assortment of dining options. There are over
400 Cancun restaurants from fast-food to casual bistros, to elegant, themed surroundings.
Overall, dining in Cancun restaurants Down Town tends to be less expensive than
dining in the resort zone. Many hotels have excellent restaurants and offer cuisines
of enormous variety. A recent wave of competition (hotel restaurants competing with
non-hotel eateries) has brought down Cancun restaurant prices. Fast food outlets
are plentiful, although prices are higher than back home.
Don't miss trying some delicious local Mayan dishes, such as Huevos Moltuleos, Cochinita
or Pollo Pibil, and Sopa de Lima. The local beer is Montejo, a hearty brew made
in Merida. A fun way to start your evening is to "hotel hop," taking in several
excellent happy hours, a variety of live music, and some incredibly beautiful resort
settings.
