High end or taco stand, doesnt matter to me...as long as the food is good. Im a big seafood fan so that would be best, but any great food around there would be greatly appreciated.

It's been there a long time although hurricanes nearly leveled it twice. Puerto Morelos has always been a fishing village, until the condo developers filled in the mangrove swamps and built the fancy marina and condos south of town. The annual fishing tournament in May almost overwhelms the town and is a lot of fun. John Gray's Kitchen is the fancy place, and although it is not mexican and not fish-themed, it is very good.

Thu Oct 29 15:28:08 -0700 2009 5141269 21052 carln 4 5141430 El Pelicano does breakfast, also. It's a water's edge open air resto with a view of the sun rising out of the Caribbean, mexican coffee and eggs with a side of conch....it don't get much better'n that.

Let us know if you plan a field trip there or beyond. I especially like Akumal. Highway 307 is a breeze now. Cancun is closer but was never my thing. Thu Oct 29 17:05:52 -0700 2009 5141537 57170 Veggo
