"My spouse had fajitas and they came served on a plate with a bit of beans."
"Good food and service, but my chicken was undercooked."
"Wonderful place with great selection of fish and seafood dishes."
5 We did a late lunch which after we added the first margarita on rocks....don 70, the server was fantastic. Real local food. Came hot. Top notch
5 Restaurant specialties are seafood from Campeche region Delicious cooked to perfection. Black smoked octopus was excellent alongside all our dishes. Margherita’s were moorish and Mexican wine delicious
5 The waiter took time to explain the menu and recommended Pan de Cargon, which ended up being the best dish I had in a long long time! If I could give 6 stars, I would have given it.
5 Cute place, good location and the food was excellent! Service very good.
5 This place is pristine and food was outstanding. Staff is super attentive. Prices are affordable. Marganzo rescued our evening experience from the train wreck of a restaurant next door (don't go to aduana restaurant).
5 We've eaten at Marganzo a few times over the years and it's always been good. On this visit everything really fell into place and we had a fantastic meal. I had a really good margarita and some nice cream of chaya soup. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Tiken-Xik, which is a grilled marinated fish filet, and I had the Filete Marganzo, a filet stuffed with shrimp and bacon. Both were truly excellent entrees. We actually had a little room for dessert and shared a piece of cheesecake. The cheesecake was served with guava syrup and grated edam cheese, which might sound odd, but it was super good. Throughout our visit Karina provided us with excellent service. Overall, a wonderful restaurant experience for us.
5 A very very nice restaurant with very nice food. A very good ambience and service, but the reason we came back was the food and the overall feel of the place. Cosy, private (inside) with tastefull decor. It was not Michelin, but really nice tasteful and good food for a good price. Price/quality ratio was good. Good vegetarian dishes also and good non-alcoholic cocktails for the kids.
5 Great local restaurant for Campeché cuisine! Very nice atmosphere, not crowded and moderate prices.. Service was excellent as was the food!
Seafood specialties from the Campeche region, like black smoked octopus and Pan de Cargón, are highly recommended by diners.
