Romantic
Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

Located in the center of the city, La Habichuela, has become a establishment of Cancun with more than 32 years operation. Some say that if you don’t know La Habichuela, you don’t know Cancun. The genuine ambience of the Mayan culture, attentive service, & a menu complete with Caribbean seafood dishes, Mexican cuisine, steaks, & international cuisine, have built the restaurant’s strong reputation. La Habichuela was awarded the Five Diamonds Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences & is a proud recipient of the National Best Restaurant Award.

Ubicado en el centro de la ciudad La Habichuela, se ha convertido en una leyenda de Cancún, con casi 32 años de operación, se dice que si no conoces la Habichuela no conoces Cancún. El genuino ambiente de la cultura Maya, el servicio cuidado al detalle y el menú de platillos de mariscos con recetas genuinas y de estilo caribeño, se complementa con los favoritos de la cocina mexicana, cortes americanos y cocina internacional.

La Habichuela is our favorite place in Cancun. For decades the food has been consistently excellent and the service top notch! My husband’s favorite dish is the house special Cocobichuela - a yummy shrimp and lobster curry served in a coconut. I go for the grilled whole fish - simplicity at its finest!

The food is great. And all the staff are very patient. Please make sure you check if the day you want to book is NOT a holiday. Because the restaurant still open for booking even it's closed. Until My husband and I arrived, we found it closed! We did not eat anything for the first time we booked it. Overall, the restaurant is fantastic and the environment suitable for couples and families.

Best meal we had in Cancun. Beautiful restaurant worth the drive from the hotel strip. Calamari starter is excellent and their bread is very good. I would stay with the catch of the day and the Tuna steak which was our favorite. The deserts were ok, we tried three of them and the chocolate tower was the best.
