We ordered a bucket of beers and as we drank our much deserved beers I observed Felipe making an interesting concoction ... As I watched him he would just smile at me.. When we finished our beers I walked over... More

We were visiting Cancun and had read great reviews about Calypso. It took us a while to find it, but it was well worth the adventure (it's in the strip mall behind Baskin Robbins.) My husband had been looking for authentic carne asada tacos and I was all about getting as much good shrimp as I could find. We found... More

This outdoor restaurant is just a few steps away from all of the hotel zone action and completely worth the few steps. My boyfriend and I both had 2 margaritas each, 2 bottles of water, a seafood salad and 2 huge plates of food for $80....amazing lobster and shrimp too. "F***kin Felipe" even gave us 2 complimentary shots of tequila.... More

We stayed in FA coral beach and bumped into this restaurant randomly one day. What a great find. The server there was very friendly and just for the right time, we were there for their happy hour from 4-6 so we got 2 cocktail drinks for free. The lobster combo was awesome, not too expensive and very delicious! We also... More

Ohhh Calypso...how I crave the grilled Grouper and grilled calamari. Can't find anything like that meal at home in the DC area especially at that price! The restaurant is located in a strip mall but, on the deserted side so it does look a bit shady. But, when we found it...it was like finding the Holy Grail. We had the... More
