About the restaurant

Esta majestuosa parrilla de llama abierta está inspirada en la vista del fuego vivo y el aroma del aire fresco del océano besado por la sal. Dedicado al delicado arte de la preparación de mariscos, toda la experiencia se basa en una enérgica cocina abierta. Cada plato incorpora un elemento de humo, carbón o fuego, algunos sutiles, otros más evidentes. Desde abundantes presentaciones de barras crudas hasta pescado entero asado a la parrilla para dos, este agradable restaurante nocturno celebra la belleza del mar y el poder de las llamas.

Malpeque is a fully amazing experience. The space itself is perfection. We sat facing outward to the ocean with waves, palm trees, and a reflection pool. The service was perfect. Attentive, knowledgeable, and never intrusive. The food was simply incredible. Their ability to prepare the freshest fish and shellfish is unlike anything we have ever tasted. The yellow tail crudo rivals any that I have ever had and the grilled colossal shrimp and spiny lobster were the best we have ever eaten. The creativity of the chef while maintaining the simple natural flavors of the fish, seafood and ingredients is superior. I would suggest this dining experience to everyone. We will most definitely return soon!

This was THE best food and service I had in Cancun for my 7 day vacation. I found it walking around the shops, and stopped for lunch and then the next day went back for dinner and brought friends. The service is equivalent to a Michelin star restaurant in NYC. It’s amazing and should be on everyone’s list! The servers are amazing and you can trust whatever they recommend will be amazing!

The food was terrific! Some different Indian dishes. So classic Indian dishes. Chicken 65 as an starter was A GREAT choice. The OG Butter Chicken was also very, very good. The service ended up being good, but it started a bit slow. The waiter we ended up with was very attentive. Maybe we were there too early. It is open air seating and it was a warm evening...beware given no overhead fans and just two AC units. They also had curtains that they wanted to pull up and let the setting sun in...too hot and we had to ask to close them (as did another group). Wine by the glass was very limited...just one merlot, one tempranillo, one chardonnay, one cab sav...and they were average quality...they need to fix this. Lastly, we were eating at 6:30 and they already had the music CRANKED UP with the bass pounding...why? Save the club vibe for after 8:00 and let us have a peaceful meal! We had to ask them to turn it down 3 times (and I am a bass player in a rock band). We will be back, but we have a few things to work around.

First time visit and will come back! Food was exquisite! Best lentil soup anywhere and the steak was superb! The empanada Argentina and french fries were tops. My wife thought the Mexican chardonnay was among her preferred wines anywhere. Great to have a kids room so can parents can enjoy a dinner while watching them in the large screen TV at the same time. The only glitch was my wife didn't get a purse stand even after asking our server for one, there were empty tables with one next to them! Thank you for the anniversary dessert. Visited from Texas but have eaten in many Argentinian restaurants/steakhouses including in Buenos Aires and Mar de Plata.
