About This Place

El Timon de Cancun is a seafood and Mexican restaurant gem nestled in the heart of Unidad Morelos, Cancún. This vibrant eatery masterfully showcases the rich flavors of the sea with an authentic Mexican twist, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and travelers craving an exceptional waterfront dining experience.

From the moment you step inside, you’re embraced by a warm and inviting atmosphere, enhanced by a gentle seaside breeze and the soothing sounds of nature. The ambiance is relaxed yet lively, creating the perfect setting to savor their carefully crafted dishes. Here, every bite tells a story of fresh, high-quality ingredients brought to life through traditional recipes with a modern touch.

The menu bursts with standout offerings that seafood lovers will adore. Dive into the Ceviche Mixto Camarón Pulpo Y Ostiones, a fresh medley of shrimp, octopus, and oysters marinated to perfection with bright, tangy citrus and just the right amount of spice. The Camarones Al Coco Con Salsa de Mango offers a tropical twist—crispy coconut-encrusted shrimp paired with luscious mango sauce that dances on your palate. For taco aficionados, the Tacos de Camarón y Caracol A la Vinagreta are a revelation, boasting vibrant flavors of shrimp and conch topped with a garlicky dressing and creamy avocado.

Equally enticing are the comforting Pescado Frito Al Mojo de Ajo and the rich, flavorful Sopa de Mariscos, which are perfect for those seeking hearty and traditional tastes. The house specialties like the Aguachile A la Timon and Filete Relleno de Mariscos showcase the chef’s creative flair and deep respect for regional seafood cuisine.

Breakfast options are just as thoughtfully prepared, featuring dishes like the Chilaquiles De Huevo in either red or green salsa and the wholesome Huevos Motuleños, both made with organic eggs that highlight purity and freshness. Complement your meal with refreshing drinks such as the naturally invigorating Agua de Jamaica or the sparkling Naranjada Mineral, designed to refresh and cleanse the palate with every sip.

The exceptional quality of the food is matched by equally impressive service. Reviewers consistently praise the attentive and friendly staff, highlighting servers like Yaneth, Veronica, and Alex who elevate the dining experience with their knowledgeable recommendations and genuine hospitality. You’ll feel welcomed and well-cared-for from the moment you arrive, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in this culinary journey.

One visitor even remarked on the “spectacular service,” noting how the ambiance and careful attention to detail set El Timon de Cancun apart from the typical tourist fare. The delightful freshness of dishes like the coconut water and the unforgettable ceviche aren't just meals—they’re celebrations of Mexican coastal culture and the vibrant spirit of Cancún.

    We just finished an amazing meal at this spot in Cancún, and it absolutely deserves five stars. Our waitress, Yaneth, was fantastic—really attentive. The food, especially the ceviche, was top-notch, maybe the best I’ve ever had. The whole atmosphere is just awesome. You’ve got a seaside breeze, the sound of birds, and a really relaxing vibe.

    Quick service with exceptionally fresh seafood. So excited I forgot to snap a picture of my plate consisting of one of each of their 7 taco selections . Not a huge fan of octopus, but it was the only one I wanted to re-order before leaving. Highly recommend! PS, very cool washroom!

    Food is amazing!!! I recommend you ask for the complementary shrimp soup as an entree. Anything you order has amazing taste! Unfortunately I didn’t take pictures of my food but my partner did. Veronica was our waitress and was very sweet and attentive to whatever we needed!

    Excellent service. We were greeted with smiling faces and extremely delicious food. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and the staff went out of their way to make the experience something to remember. Could not be more happy. I highly recommend this restaurant.
