Puerto Morelos Originals:
Taninos Restaurant

After a sun-soaked day on the beach, or perhaps an afternoon exploring the town, you’ll be looking for an unforgettable dinner experience.

 

Look no further than Taninos, a hidden gem nestled just off the main square in Puerto Morelos.

 

Taninos offers a magical escape with its enchanting garden setting, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere that’s perfect for a special evening out.

 

Best for: Romantic dinners, special occasions, and fine dining

 

The soft glow of the lights, the lush greenery, and the gentle melodies of live music (playing nightly at 7:30 PM) all combine to create a truly captivating ambiance.

 

But it’s not just the atmosphere that will win you over. The menu at Taninos is a delightful exploration of Mediterranean and international cuisine, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients.

 

Don't Miss: The Surf and Turf (consistently mentioned as a standout)

 

It’s “cocina de autor,” or author’s cuisine, which means each dish is a unique creation from the chef.

 

Menu highlights include the perfectly cooked Surf and Turf, the fresh and flavorful Catch of the Day, and the much-loved Pear Salad.

 

For those looking for something a little different, the Portobello Mushroom Appetizers are a must-try.

 

And of course, as the name suggests, Taninos boasts an excellent selection of wines to perfectly complement your meal. 

Expect to pay around 500-800 pesos per person for a filling meal with drink. The staff all speak English and menus are available in English and Spanish.

The warm, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make every visit feel like dining with family. It's the kind of place where you come for dinner and stay for the music, laughter, and good vibes.
